GERMANY'S CHANCE FOR EARLY K
PEACE.
Washington authorities are apparently in
clined to place a heavy discount on the reports
coming from Switzerland with relation to the
German reply to President Wilson's recent note.
That the kaiser is inclined to accept the Amer
ican proposals "in a sense," or in principle, is
not enough. He must accept them in toto and
in spirit. If the impending note from the im
perial chancellor is no more than an invitation
to palaver, then our president should clearly
announce the ultimatiiTn, already delayed too
lohg, of unconditional surrender. The terms
granted Bulgaria are the only ones.o be offered
Germany.
This ultijnatum should be accompanied by
an emphatic statement that a change has been
wrought by the progress of the war in condi
tions that we might have granted at the time
of our entrance. Then America asked" no in
demnity. Now, if the kaiser and his crew are
wilfully determined to prolong the war, we are
justified in requiring that they be held wholly
responsible for the cost of the war. Any dam
ages or expense sustained by the United States
in connection with the war from now on should
be made a charge against the German empire.
The persistence of the German army in wan
ton destruction in France and Belgium more
than justifies the demand for reparation. This
should be firmly insisted upon.
Americana will be content only when the is
sues involved are finally adjusted on a basil of
impartial justice, and not till than. No patched
up peace will be acceptable to us or to our
Allies. The brutal Hun is now groggy and
sparring for wind, and he must not be given a
chance to recover.

That Otranto affair is shocking in many
particulars, and emphasizes tha dangers that

For a Better Race of Americans.
Physical reconstruction of Americans is ad
vocated by Dr. Frederick Peterson of New
York, who sees in the 30 per cent of rejections
for military service because of curable defects
an occasion for worry. Dr. Peterson is not a
pioneer in his movement, nor has he suggested
any vitally new or important method of estab
lishing it. He does, however, touch on one of
the many reasons vyhy it is so. His plan for
co-ordination of a large number of organiza
tions having in view the general aim of improv
ing the race physically by giving the child a
better chance is not likely to succeed if left to
the action of state governments. Therefore, he
suggests it be made a federal program.
This might be found to work all right, but
is in danger of encountering the same obstacle
that wrecked the child labor law. Dr. Peter
son's indictment that we have spent millions to
protect and improve breeds of live stock and
grains, for the propagation of forest and fruit
trees, to rid forests of insect pests, and in a
great many ways have wasted money on vain
experimentation, while doing nothing to ad
vance the physical well-being of our citizens, is
founded on fact. His other conclusion, that it
may require generations to get the people com
pletely aroused to the importance pf his pro
posal, is also- justified. j
Continued agitation of the topic for genera
tions past has brought little advance, but its
advocates should not be discouraged by reason
of this. In time the idea may gain a solid foot
hold, and then the race will be gainer because
boys and girls are shown how to grow up into
strong, healthy, beautiful men and women.

Lutheran Churches in France
In tht eastern part of France not over 20
miles from tht border lines of Germany and
Switzerland, is Montbelaird, a town of 8,000 in
habitants which serves as a common center for
a large number of villages. It is a most im
portant point in tht world conflict now going
on, and. particularly to Americans as a large
number dt our boys are centered in that section,
which Is" the only point where German territory
has been taken by the allied forces and primar
ily by the Americans.
It Is in an important section of France for the
. reason, as one report says: Hartman s Wail-
erKopi mama mt spot in uennany wnera ine
first American boy paid the great sacrifice. It
It historic to Americans because it is believed
that when tht Americans march across the
Rhine it will bt through that sector of Lorraine
where the Yankees are now holding forth."
Lntherans are particularly fortunate to find
that thert art three Lutheran churches in Mont
belaird and stvtral of our churches in the vil
lages round abont, so that parents and friends
of oar boys in that section, which it- the Mont
belaird diocese of our Lutheran cmxrch in
Franee, can feel assured that with the co-opera
tion between tht War commission of our
French Lutheran church and the National Luth
eran commission of America, our boys in that
section particularly will be well cared for. Tha
National commission has been planning to send
representatives to tht French Lutheran church
for several months and by the time this reaches
our readers they will probably be on their way.
Ever effort will be made by the National
Lutheran commission to have the church follow
our boys, and whether it be in Paris, Mont
belaird or any other section of France, we art
assured that besides the 23 Lutheran chaplains

Protection for Auto Owners.
The Omaha Automobile club is moving to
secure amendments to the laws of Nebraska in
tended to afford greater protection to owners
of automobiles. First among these has to do
with the matter of licensing machines brought
in from other states. -It is proposed that a
clean abstract of title, with absolute proof of
legitimate ownership, be required before li
cense be granted to a machine brought in from
another state. This will check the practice now
so prevalent of driving stolen machines into the
state, taking tht thirty daya granted by the law,
and then securing a Nebraska license, which
aids in disposing of the loot to an innocent pur
chaser here. Other points intended to increase
tht stcurity of wners are being considered, the
increase of the minimum penalty for theft being
one. Most stress is put on the plan for tracing
ownership, this being regarded as the vital fac
tor in detecting theft and recovering property.
Lawmakers ought to give attention to the sug
gestions of tht organized owners, who should
know better than any what is needed to remedy
tht situation. j

A War of Democracy.
When the war broke out in 1914 Godfrey
Jones was digging coal in a Welsh mine. "An
officer and a gentleman" then meant something
more than mere words in the British army, and
"rankers" had a rather hard time. Godfrey
Jones enlisted as a private and went to the front
with "Kitchener's Mob." Today he is a briga
dier general, outranking in command the heir
to the Brithh throne, and still serving with the
Welsh. Some of the old beliefs of the British
people have vanished with the war, but the jewel
of democracy shines the brighter there because
this is so. In the French army Godfrey Jones
can bejnatched, and in the American forces he
will meet many a soldier with a star on his col
lar who came up from the ranks. Not so in the
kaiser's corps. There birth alone entitles a man
to command. It is indeed a war of democracy,
and will be won because men, and not manni
kins, are to decide the issue.
Out of His Own Mouth.
"It is only the infantile mind, or the narrow
and bitterly partisan mind, that will resent and
denounce such criticism," shouted the editor of
the Omaha Hyphenated on the 2d of February
last He was then desperately defending the
German-Alliance senator from Nebraska in his
course of attack on the president's management
of the war. We submit, however, that his own
words accurately fit his case at present, when
he flies into a passion because Senator Lodge
and others object to democrats endeavoring to
establish the platform of their party as basis
for peace. No republican has hampererj the
president in any act tending to win the war;
none will interfere in any way with the reitera
tion of peace on honorable and satisfactory
terms. But the democrats ask too much if they
expect to be permitted to hide their partisan
endeavors behind the president and get away
with partisan propaganda camouflaged as peace
proposals.

Views and Reviews
Reactions of the War Upon
Some 0 Our Puzzling Problems
Extracts from an address delivered
at the Diamond Jubilee Banquet
of the B'nai B'rith at Chicago.
As everyon'e knows, we are in the midst of
the most colossal world war that has ever de
vastated the face of the globe a war that has
drawn into it all the great nations of the earth,
including our own a war upon whose issue de
pends the future course of mankind a war
which can have only one outcome the tri
umphant vindication of the cause of democracy
in which oir American people are enlisted. It
is only a question of time, and we believe now
a very short time, till the victory will be ours.
A little while ago it was our boast that we were
neutral, that we didn't care who licked the
kaiser. Now we have ceased to be neutral and
we insist that our American soldiers shall haVe
the privilege of carrying the Stars and Stripes
right into Berlin and there tell the kaiser just
where he gets off.
For all of us this war has already changed
the entire program of our daily doings, has com
pletely recast our thought and mental attitude,
has turned our outlook upon the future into new
or different directions. After this war the map
vof the world will never again bewhat it was
before, but the changes in the map will be as
nothing compared with te transformation
which will have been worked in our social and
industrial relations by the leaven of liberty that
is permeating further and further the masses
and classes 01 the people, both in and out of the
war arena. v
Only a few years ago I went down to Wash
ington along with some of you to emphasize in
person the protest wt were making against the
flagrant disregard of our treaty right in Russia
by denial of passports presented by American
citizens suspected of Jewish faith. We finally
prevailed upon our own government to give
notice of abrogation of the treatv and with
drawal of the reciprocal privileges of trade and
travel until American citizenship and not reli
gious affiliation should be the-sole test. 'I take
it that as one of the reactions of the' war, the
Russian passport question is sure to be settled,
and settled as we insisted it should be. True,
we have no treaty with Russia, but the ban has
been removed by the irresistible sequence of
events, as I believe, never again to be raised,
whatever government may eventually prevail in
Russia.

Storyette of the Day.
Adam Bede the one from Minne
sota had the reputation, while in
the National House of Representa
tives, of being exceptionally witty.
It is said that often in the midst of
routine work in congress, when
there were many empty seats and
general listlessness, Bede would
take the floor and immediately every
doorway would let in absent mem
bers and visitors keyed up to in
tense anticipation.
Bede is a native Ohioan, his birth
place being on a farm up in Lorain
county, so it is natural that he
should drift down to the state capi
tal for an occasional half-friendly,
half-political visit. It was on one
of these sojourns a few weeks ago
that a friend told how Bede got a
special favor from President Roose
velt. Knowing T. R.'s fondness for
large families, Bede thought it would
be a good- scheme to take his six
boys as companions to the confer
ence at tha White House, so in
single file the whole "tribe" entered
the president's office.
"Well, welll" said Mr. Roosevelt
in his enthusiastic way. "What have
wt here?"
Bede answered with utmost grav
ity: "This is just a little string of
Bedes I brought along as a peace
offering- Colonel."
He got what he was after.

New light is being thrown also on our immi
gration problem, although by no means so sim
ple nor as near its solution. In 15 years up to
the outbreak of the world war we admitted to
this country 13,377,087 immigrants, or nearly
1,000,000 a year, of which approximately one
tenth, or 100,000, a year were listed as Jewish
immigrants. I do nqt need to discuss the per
plexing difficulties this situation presented.
Wi'ihith' st0PPa8e of regular ocean traffic
in 1914 the flow of immigration was completely
cut off. When will it be resumed? Will it
ever again reaeh the former magnitude? We
may merely speculate on the answer. We hear
muth talk of the principle of self-determination,
which is understod to mean that the smaller
nationalities of Europe shall be permitted to
decide for themselves what sort of government
they want, or at least have fair consideration
given to their national aspirations. But will the
principle of self-determination be applied to the
movement of the individual within the country,
and as between one country and another? Will
the Jew living jn Europe be accorded the right
to locate freely in any town or in any rural dis
trict m his native country? Or will he be held
to the spot where he was born, not to move
away except by special favor? Will he have a
right of self-determination that will let him emi
grate to the United States or to an other land
of his choice? Or will Europe after peace is
restored insist on retaining all their man power
murder to recuperate faster their diminished
populations, rebuild their industries and help
pay the bills incurred in the work of destruc
tion? Will labor conditions abroad be such' as
t0 ma r.k over here attractive by compari
son? Will Europe liberalize its institutions and
government so that our long-established free
dom and popular form of government become
less luring than of old? Above all, will race
prejudice, social ostracism and religious perse
cution gradually subside or break out anew'
If emigration ft, permitted, will it be more
stringently controlled and directed to cplonial
possesions or to particular countries whose re
sources it is desired to exploit? So far as our
own government is concerned, we have a new
restriction policy embodied in our most recent
legislation setting up tests of fitness for admis
sion Certain to bar large classes which we used
to welcome to our shores, but who are now
warned to keep out. On the factors indicated
by these questions will our future immigration
problem turn, but it will be a new problem,
wholly different from the old one.

vista into what must be done for our army of

constantly recruited. What we are doing in the
way pf civilian relief to protect the dependent

marks a field that will have to be better covered

Greeting: . ji
The undersigned, Executive Committee of the Grand Lodge, X
I. O. O. F. of Nebraska, after careful consideration and in view 4
of the unfortunate epidemic now prevalent throughout this juris-
diction, and the measures being taken by the Health Department
of the state and cities of Nebraska to control and prevent the
further spread of this epidemic, feel that it would be unwise and T
unpatriotic to permit our Grand Lodge, other Grand Bodies and X
Rebekah Assembly to hold their annual session at Lincoln, Neb., T
on October 15, 16 and 17. X
It has therefore been decided and is hereby decreed by the
Executive Committee, that the Grand Lodge session be post- T
Y poned until November 20 and 21, with special session the eve-
Jt. ning of Movember iv. ine date oi me urana r-nenmpmem ses-
sion has been postponed until November 19, and the Rebekah
f State Assembly session has been postponed until November 20, 21,
and special the evening of November 19.
f All branches of the Order and all Subordinate Bodies are rt-
T and special session the evening of November 19.
