With the Hun on the run, keep him going. Looks as if the "flu" were beginning the ebb of its flow. Among others anxiously waiting word from Washington is the Turk. As usual, the flustrated editor oi the Omaha Hyphenated guessed wrong. ' Mr. Wilson surely knows where the Amer ican people stand on the war question. Those Huns run fin much better form to ward Berlin than they do toward Paris. , German willingness to evacuate occupied territory rests on good ground. The Hun is Iteadily being driven out. i "If Heinie wants to quit, let him quit; we re not quitting," say the boys in the trenches, ind that is about wjiere America stands. Kaiser Wilhelm surely realizes now that he made the mistake of his life when he ordered Resumption of ruthless submarine warfare. v Corn bears got a little jolt on Monday, but most of them are so well protected with bull hide by this time that they need not worry. ''I A college professor named Longest, six feet eight inches tall, has been turned down for military service. Now listen for the pun sters' chorus. Mayor Smith talks to the firemen straight from the shoulder when he admonishes them Sot to put devotion to labor union above de I motion to country. -:.t 'Residents of Laon sang with joy when Man gin's army marched in. It must seem like ' heaven to those people to breathe free air again tfter four years of German brutality. I; Thirty-eight million dollars were subscribed 1 ill New York in as many minutes at a meeting , addressed by "Charley" Schwab. Fifty millions were raised in an hour. There's some bond talesman. ''The food administration's new rules for restaurants are all right, so far as conservation of supplies goes, but what the patrons really oray for is some sort of regulation that will con Jerve prices as well. Dr. Solf waxes virtuously indignant over the charge that French and Belgian towns are being purposely destroyed by the retreating Huns. It is only the application of "spurlos versenkt" to operations on land. Everything is relative and comparative. The loss of nearly 1,000 lives in forest fires in our own country, is an appalling calamity, but in the reflecting light of the world war conflagra tion across the ocean it is too dim and small to divert attentipn. . Remember that back in 1914 the German imperial government deliberately deceived and double-crossed Prince Lichnowsky, who was its accredited ambassador at London. What would such a combination of unscrupulous tricksters not do to gain a point now? ."Germany has surrenderd." "It is surrender; complete, abject arid on our own conditions en tirely." -"The success of Mr. Wilson's diplo macy has been as dazzling as that of our arms and the Allied arms." Yes, dear reader, you guessed right. These are excerpts from the rav ings of the Omaha Hyphenated over the Ger man note. Its educated-in-Germany owner, who is chairman (by right of seniority) of the senate committee on foreign relations, says: 'The German terms can be accepted if sufficient guarantees are given." Which side of the war , would you say this outfit is on? Looters Forced to Let Go . ;Not without reason did the German high ;ommand keep grim hold as long as possible on Lens. Its capture means coal not only for ' France, but for the American and British armies. France before the war produced not quite ' . . t 4t- -1 ... i j i . . r . i .

Exploita-1 tion of this basin in France, and Belgium was as much part of the Prussian scheme of war theft - as the annexation of the Briey district iron '. mines. The western and southern suburbs of Lens, including Lievin. have been in allied lfands for -ttionths, but under fire. The capture of Lens itself releases its very important railway junc tion as well as further large groups of mines. Mich as the St. Auguste, Grand Conde and Avion. .

Bringing cheer for the French winter, aid for Ili industry and relief for tonnage, the capture Jjens is an event of the highest significance entire future of the war. New York PUBLIC SENTIMENT PLAIN. President Wilson's reply to the latest note from Berlin refers the question of armistice to the military authorities. While this probably means the war will go on, no doubt is left as to the sentiment of the American people. It is overwhelming for unconditional surrender. The timid voice of the pro-German pacifists, who favor accepting the proffer from the kaiser, is lost in the resounding call of devoted patriots for the prosecution of the war to a finish the only sort of finish the Huns can appreciate, and it will be visited upon them. The president also insists that no cessation of arms can be looked for until German atroc ities on land and sea have ceased. His notice that autocracy must go before final peace can come is not so definite. It is clear, however, that he can not be insensible to the atti tude of the country, vigorously voiced, despite the request of "the government to withhold judgment." Diplomatic word-spinning or the juggling of ambiguous phrases will not find favor in America today. What the people want is plain talk. It is noteworthy in this connection that only one senator has so far been quoted as saying the German proposal might be accepted. That oite is Hitchcock of Nebraska, by accident at the head of the senate's committee on foreign relations. On the, other hand, Senator Cham berlain of Oregon, chairman of the military affairs committee, and Senator Thomas of Colorado, of the same1 committee, for the dem ocrats, and Senators New of Indiana and Lodge of Massachusetts, for the republicans, have urged in the senate the popular demand for the defeat of Germany in the field. President Wilson need, not worry about the support of the people in his decision to reject the suspicious overtures 4rom the Huns. The Bee's Free Shoe Fund. As a companion charity to our summer season "Free Milk and Ice Fund" for hot weather little tots, The Bee, with the help of its sympathetic readers, will establish a "Free Shoe Fund" for shoeless children of needy families otherwise unable to attend school through the winter time. The exceptional success that has met our efforts to furnish milk and ice to relieve suffer ing babies leads us to believe the present ap peal for shoeless school children will also have a generous response. That such a charity is not only needed but of practical application and certain of definite results is the unanimous verdict of charity work ers and school teachers who have been con sulted. Youngsters simply can not trudge through snow and ice with feet sticking through tattered shoes or do their lessons while suffer ing from frosted toes or chilblains. Too many children are deprived of their education be cause poor parents can not keep them in shoes at present high prices. It is to keep these children in school and comfortable while going to school that this shoe money will be spent. To prevent imposition, the fund will be ad ministered through a committee of school teachers already appointed by Superintendent , Beveridge. Contributions, which are asked for in sums not exceeding $5, in order to make it a popular charity and give all a chance to help with a mite, will be acknowledged through The Bee and a strict accounting made from time to time of the disposition of the money. We hope and have reason to believe "The Bee's Free Shoe Fund" will become an established institution, as has the "Free Milk and Ice Fund." Where Man Outdoes Nature. Normally such disasters as the Minnesota forest fires or the Porto Rican earthquake would absorb public attention to the exclu sion of all other topics. Today they are ac cepted as matters of passing foment only. Not that our people are no longer sympathetic, grown cold and indifferent to human misery, or that they will lag in administering comfort to the stricken. The calm acceptance of such disasters as matters of course comes from an experience with horror so extensive that noth ing can add to it. Nature's convulsions, en gulfing thousands, are majestic exhibitions of uncontrolled force, but they dwindle when compared to the dire devastation deliberately wrought by man. Human sympathies have been so shocked and numbed within the last four years that giving of relief now has more the form of a routine act than the outcome of a warm and generous impulse. Man has so far outdone nature in spreading terror in the world that ordinary disasters no longer thrill the mind or challenge the imagination. Our sufferers at home will be cared for and will have compassion in their misfortunes, but the record made by the Hun will be a shadow over the world for generations. Fixing Value for "Good Will One of the most aggravating stumbling blocks in the way of levying a tax on profits is that of good will. That this intangible asset has a value is admitted by all, but how o ascer tain and correctly set it down none has discov ered. Congress got around it by permitting it to be entered on the books wherever it could be shown that its value had been established by actual purchase. But this only applied in cases where a business had been sold, and could not be made use of by a going concern that had built up and developed its own good will and still enjoyed that valuable but intangible asset in its management. The question is likely to assume van acute, and perhaps equally perplexing, phase in an other of the government's transactions. Samuel Untermyer of New York, addressing the bank ers' convention in Chicago, pointed out that through Mr. McAdoo's management of the rail roads the element of built-up or developed good will is being destroyed. Contracts, traffic ar rangements and similar tangibles are disappear ing by reason of readjustments.. These may be traced and accounted for, and some compensa tion made when the final settlement comes, but the intangibles that were wiped out cannot be so weighed, and yet their loss will be noted in the value of stocks. Difference in value between a live and a dead concern is always ascertainable, but the essence of developed good will is its continuing pres ence. It is not transitory in a going concern, but vanishes quickly under such ministrations as have been visited on the railroads. Sooner or later the question of how to deal with this must be squarely faced, but its solution will not be arrived at speedily or easily Right in the Spotlight A stalwart figure surmounted by a massive head a personality cer tain to arrest attention anywhere. Such is Vice Admiral William S. Sims, the commander of the Ameri can naval forces operating in Euro pean waters, who today is in line for congratulations on his sixtieth birthday. Admiral Sims is a native of Canada. He entered the United States Naval academy from Penn sylvania, and was graduated in 1880. In addition to the routine duties ol his calling he has served as naval aide at the American embassies at Paris and St. Petersburg. From 1907 to 1909 he was naval aide at tached to the president. Atthe be ginning of the present war he was president of the War college at Newport. The admiral is a man of the athletic school, a lover ol out door games, neither smokes nor drinks, and would like all of Uncle Sam's sailors to do likewise. One Year Ago Today in tha War. Belgian troops made a successful attack on the Germans at Dixmude. United States government took over 468 ships aggregating 3,000,000 tons.

One thousand five hundred and thirty-seventh day of the great war Birthday greetings to Vice Ad miral William S. Sims, U. S. N., commanding the American fleet in the war zone, who is 60 years old today. ; Trenton, N.

Former President Theodore Roosevelt has accepted an invita tion of the Liede.kranz society of New York to deliver a Liberty loan address before its members tonight. Storyette of the Day. The late Senator Tillman abomi itwted the kaiser's aristocratic creed. "The aristocrats," he said, "were made to rule, and the common peo ple to obey that is the kaiser's creed. Why, the kaiser said one day that it was painful to him to fight the French army because French officers were not aristocrats. "A pork packer said to the kaiser at Kiel but his speech had no ef fect " 'Aristocrats, your majesty, are like potato plants. .The only good thing belonging to them is under ground.' " THE TEUTON FLAG Tear down the Hun Kaiser' a flat; Halfmast Hate'a polluted rat;; Destroy it, all who can; Deep sink It In the wavea. It binds our fellow men To groan with fellow slaves. It ehlelds a plrate'i decks; And 'neath tts bloody folds Are heard the clank of rustling- chains. Awake the burning scorn, The vengeance long and deep; That, till a better morn. Shall neither tire nor sleep. Swear once again the vow. By all we hops and dream. That what we suffer now Tha future shall redeem. 1 O. A. BOLLINGER. North Bergen, N. J. ., , , . . ,.. .. i What Do the Terms Mean? To the Public: Manifestly it is only a question of time when the president's 14 conditions of peace, as ampli fied in his two Liberty loan speecnes, win be accepted by our enemies. While this is most gratifying, everyone must recognize that if r;ri ous ambiguities in these terms should develop or radical differences in interpretations houid be placed thereon, the end may not be as near as it would now seem. It is axiomatic that until the minds of contracting parties meet there can be no contract. I hope I will not be accused of criticisirg our noble president, whose every utterance is so beautifully worded as to be universally ap plauded, when I suggest that the time has now arrived when these terms and conditions should be analyzed and their actual purport made known. It would be a sad thing if the Amer ican people should get vhat they have bee., shouting for and then discover that they have been shouting for something they did not want. Of the major item in these terms only do I feel confident of my interpretation. By "removal of all economic barriers and the establishment of neutrality of trade conditions" (see condition three), "freedom from economic serfdom" (see Wisconsin campaign lette-), the prohibition of "any form of economic excl. sion" and "the prevention of all economic rivalries in definite and binding terms" (see speech ot Seo tember 27), especially when read in the light of the school of political economy in which the president was educated, and which for many years he taught and has always spoken, leaves no doubt in my mind that he intends to estab lish international free trade in such "definite and binding form" that the enactment of a pro tective tariff, as distinguished from a tariff for revenue only, by any signatory nation will con stitute an act of war against all other parties o the treaty. Undoubtedly our allies will welcome, the neutral world will rejoice and the central powers will be willing to surrender practically every thing for such a provision. This is evident from the fact that there are two essentials to a mar-kct--first, ability to pay, and second, needs. I put ability to pay first, for the mere possession of the means with which to Luy always creates needs. After the war all the- world will :e in need, but America only will possess the means with which to buy. International free trade, therefore, should be acceptable to everyone ex cept experienced Americans. But there are several other matters that in terest me wherein I am entirely at sea: First, does "even-handed and dispassionate justice" (see Third Liberty loan speech) and "impartial justice, with no discrimina.ion between those to whom we wish to he just and those to whom we do not wish to be just no favor ites and no standard but the equal rights of the several people concerned" (see Fourth Liberty loan speech) mean that the sufferers of atroci ties and the perpetrators thereof are to be ac corded the same treatment in the treaty? If not, will someone cite a statement in condition or speech that more than squints, if indeed it squints, at indemnity or reparation? Second Do these quoted statements and others of similar import in what the president is pleased to call his "practical program as dis tir.guished from a thesis" (jee speech ot Sep tember 27) imply that the people of Belgum, whose factories have been scrapped, natural re sources plundered, cities burned, youth deport ed, children mutilated, manhood sterilized, women debauched and the people of Germany, whose lands as yet -re unscathed bv the horrors of war and whose barns and warehouses are bursting with loot, are to face this new, unsel fish world from which "all economic rivalry has been removed in binding form" on equal terms? j I cannot believe that is what our noble president means, but I have looked in vain for any state ment which our representatives at the peace table can quote with reliance should Germany claim its legal right to place the most favorable interpretation possible upon a solemn proposi tion for a contractural settlement. ; State Press Comments Alliance Times: The mayor came home Monday night and the walks were oleaned off Tuesday morning for the first time In the two rainy weeks. Blessed is the name of the mayor. Fdgar Post: The Post Is in favor of the next Nebraska legislature put ting up a law forever barring for eign lanpuares, and candidates who favor that should bo elected. Rratrire Express: The temporary rlcsing of the clubs, cigar stores and pool halls gave a number of Beatrice men a miifh needed opportunity to remain at nome and get acquainted with their families. Norfolk Press: Omaha is to build a "tower of liberty" on the court house Iflwn. If they build it as high as the price of butter it will be likely to topple over and endanger the sur rounding buildings. Fremont Tribune: Under the stimulus of the passage of a bill by the lower house of congress facilitat ing the development of water power there is present talk of a revival of Platte river projects. Of course these will have o wait till after the war, but It is a good idea to begin now to 'get ready for that active period of development Falrbury News: The more ' we think of this peace proposition the more we feel convinced that the proper thing for the allies te do would be to turn the kaiser over to the French for a peace settlement. When a man considers what the French have endured it almost freezes the blood in his veins. Cer tainly no one of the allies could for a moment consider a peace plan that was not heartily concurred in by that long-suffering people. Wish you would take this matter up through the column of your valu able paper. We want this commute to show its true colors. ED. LUSIENSKI. CENTER SHOTS St. Louis Globe-Democrat: Your shining sword, with the handle this way, Wiihelm; that's all. New York Herald: "I have extend ed my hand," says the kaiser. One is not enough. Ha will be listened to only when he extends both up ward. Minneapolis Tribune: The allied arm'es have gotten beyond the ne cessity of putting on gas masks when the Ilohenzollerns launch a peace drive. St. Louis Globe Democrat: Bul garia entered the war in the belie that Germany would win. It seeks peace in the certainty that Germany must lose. Baltimore American: The kaiser who declared he would stand no nonsense from America, is finding out that the Americans are not goinp to stand any nonsense .'om him. Washington Tost: "We shall try so far as possible to grant auto nomy to nationalties in Hungary," says Count Tisza. The enemy is so anxious for peace that he is even willing to dilute it with a little free dom. Brooklyn Eagle: Hara is the first commoner who ever became Premier in Japan, and the first man who ever got that honor because he headed a majority in the Diet's lower house. Th,e future yielding to the doctrine of ministerical responsibility is ad umbrated. That makes the choice of Hara a constitutional landmark. Springfield Postmaster's Loy alt y. Springfield, Neb., Oct. 8. To the Editor of The Bee: In your paper of recent date was an article con cerning the loyalty of Postmaster Olderog of Springfield, Neb. It stated that he had attempted to eject the Congregational minister trom the postotflce for reading of the allied victories. " Thia "Prenrhnr" Pvch. with his very few followers, had been making . the postofflce a loafing place, where j they discussed all topics from re- j ligion to how our great generals i .hnnM .nnrinrr thin war.

As for the postmaster, he has been a subscriber to every one of the Liberty loans and has bought more than hl mints, of war stamos. and there never was a petition started horn far a srood cause but his name could be found on it. EX-PATRIOTIC LEAGUER. What lias Become of the Report? Platte Center, Neb., Oct 9 To the Editor of The Bee. Some time ago our governor appointed an Americanization committee, which, after meeting and organizing in Lin coln, adjourned to meet in Omaha; and since they have met in the latter named city, nothing has ben heard of the proceedings as far as being made publio through the daily pa pers, with the exception of the re signation of one of the members of the committee. The public in general should be informed as to what has been, or going to be, done; and that before November 1, 1918, because what has came out through private channels pP".v.t, to pmeil strong with politics.

When Writing to Our Advertisers Mention Seeing It in The Bee Third Does the statement, "Germany will have to redeem its character, not by what hap pens at the peace table, but by what fololws" (see the Fourth Liberty loan speech), throw favorable or unfavorable light upon what Amer icans hope the president intends? Has Ger many probably read this passage? Will it be likely to quote it at the peace table if our rep resentatives, then and there, for the first time call up old scores? Fourth Does the statement of September 27, 'All who sit down at the peace table must come ready and willing to pay the price that price is impartial justice in every item of the settlement, no matter whose interest is crossed," imply that Orientals, for instance, are to have free accesss and right of domicile in all coun tries, as well as the right'to sell the products of their labor thereia-without encountering protec tive tariffs? How else can "economic rivalries" between Japan and the United States "be re moved in definite and binding" form? The fifth of the president's 14 conditions reads as follows: "A free, open and absolutely impartial adjustment of all colonial claims, based upon a strict observance of the principle that, in determining all such questions of sov ereignty, the interests of the populations con cerned must have equal weight with the equita ble claim of the government whose title is to be determined." 1 .Fifth Does the foregoing imply a modifica tion of the statement in the Declaration of In dependence, "Governments derive all their just powers from the consent of the governed?" Is it likely to cause any discussion with our allies, and especially with England, in view of the fact that three days before the president announced his -"principle" David Lloyd George had said officially, "secondly, a territorial settlement must be secured, based on the right of self determination, or the consent of the governed?" These, and many similar statements from the highest earthly authority on an occasion of grav est importance doubtless mean definite things. I am simplv asking for light and am willing to pay for it if I get it. In my search for truth I have addressed two letters to the secretary to the president and one to the president himself. The only reply I have thus far received is to the effect that the president's statements are all perfectly clear. But they are not clear to my mind. I was em boldened to ask more definitely by the presi dent's assurance of September 27 'that he was "glad to answer again and again, so that those who struggle in the ranks may have a reply whose meaning tio one can have any excuse for not understanding." Recognizing the gravity of the situation, should we and our allies place one interpreta tion upon the president's utterances and our enemies, aiter accepting tnem, should show, or attempt to show, that they had understood them to mean something radically different, I write to offer $500 to any reputable international law yer who will give me in terse and definite form the legal meaning of each of the Fourteen Con ditions of Peace and the foregoing quotations trom the subsequent speeches of the president, which Chancellor Maximilian expresses a will ingness to accept. These interpretations must be inclusive as well as exclusive. If more than one series of interpretations shall be furnished which unan imity of understanding at the peace table shall show are correct, r reserve the right to divide this fee among those whose legal accumen shall be thus proven equal to my needs.
