Do not overlook the Hapsburgs; they are as

Five million men under arms by spring is

Six and a half billions more for Uncle Sam's

Germany is replacing sunken Spanish mer

Atrocities on the Sea
In the whole history of German barbarism
there is nothing more revolting than the latest
submarine atrocities reported this morning.
VVithin a few days the Lusitania outrage has
been twice repeated with aggravated details of
wanton cruelty .in the case of the sinking of
Hirano Mam and the Leinster, while the cold
blooded murder of more than 200 Americans
when the Ticonderoga was sunk recalls the
studied savagery of the Belgian prince case.
The Hirano Maru was a passenger liner and
had some 320 persons on board, including many
women and children. Of these less than 30
were saved wncn mc snip wai scni uuwji. ruicr
the deliberate destruction of the vessel the sub
marine commander stood by and prevented res
cuers from saving the passengers. Four hun
dred passengers were lost when the Irish mail
boat Leinster was sunk under similar circum
stances off the Irish coast.
The Ticonderoga sinking suggests that an
effort was made to revive the practice of de
stroying ships "without leaving a trace." Of
.the 250 persons on board when the Ticonderoga
was torpedoed only 17 were saved. The rest
were killed by the gunfire from the submarine
while tney were trying to escape in tne water
tnd In lifeboats. The single lifeboat that evad
trj this fire was only saved when the rope with
which it had been tied to the submarine snapped
as the U-boat submerged without warning.

AMERICA'S SHARE IN THE BATTLE.
America's share in the present great battle
is just beginning to be understood by the folks
at home. When the line between Verdun and
the Swiss border was turned over to General
Pershing word was passed around that our boys
had been sent to a "quiet sector," to become
inured to the stress of warfare. Proceedings
at Belleau Wood, Chateau Thierry and the
drive across the Marne, with participation in
the thrust against Cambrai and other active
service in the west and north, have greatly
overshadowed the situation along the right wing
of the Allied armies, but now something of its
importance is coming to be realized. While the
foe is retiring in Belgium and Flanders, giving
up one after another of his strongholds, some
almost without resistance, he is making the most
desperate resistance to the Americans in the
Argonne wood and along the Meuse, north
of Verdun. Defeat here means that the Meuse
line is no longer tenable for a stand by the re--tiring
German hosts. General Liggett's army
is slowly breaking down the utmost endeavor
of the Hun to hold to this region. While the
more spectacular advances of the British, French
and Belgian forces in the west fill the news col
umns, the real fight is that in progress where
General Pershing briefly says our boys are mak
ing "satisfactory gains." Foch's plan of battle
is slowly unfolding,(and we know now he gave
the Americans the post of honor.
Nailing Some Campaign Lies.
Chairman Beach of the republican state com
mittee has effectually put a quietus on part of
the democratic campaign of mendacity. For
the purpose of covering up weak spots in the
records of their own candidates, and to camou
flage the notoriously open liaison between the
leaders of their party and the disloyal German
Amerjcan alliance, the democrats have been
circulating stories that the republicans imported
tJerman speakers into Nebraska in 1916.
The records show that a German campaign
spouter came into Nebraska and offered his
services to the republican state committee. On
being turned down, he went over to the demo
crats and was employed by them. His services
were so valuable that after the campaign had
closed the democratic state committee paid him
a bonus for the work he had done. To dig up
this man and charge him to the republicans
when the public records in the office of the sec
retary of state show he was employed and paid
by the democratic committee is a fair measure
of the tactics now being employed by the des
perate backers of a ticket that fails to enlist
popular support because of the influences and
interests that are concealed behind it.
Voters are not likely t? be deceived by such
tactics, especially when they recall the orders
issued by Val J. Peter, then president for Ne
braska of the German-.merican alliance, that
the first duty of its members must be to vote
and get votes for G. M. Hitchcock, chief spokes
man for the kaiser in the senate.
rrnnsv
Behind the Lines in Austria,
Things are going very badly for Emperor
Charles at home as well as on the battle front.
Coincident with the report that the Italians
have finally captured the great Austrian base
of Durazzo, in Albania, completing the work
begun by the navy a few days ago, comes news
that Prague, Pilsen and other important Bo
hemian centers have been placed under martial
law and that German troops are being rushed
to control the revolt. Dr. Wekerle, Hungarian
premier, talks of resigning his position, accom
panying his declaration with tne statement that
the treaties between Austria and Hungary are
now subject to examination as to their binding
nature and asserting that Hungary is entitled
to a separate seat at the peace table.
These conditions foreshadow the falling
apart of the Austrian empire, whose inherent
weakness has long been apparent. When Bo
hemia and Hungary have set up independence
not much will be left of the domain of the Haps
burgs. In the Hungarian attitude may be de
scried an even more interesting possibility.
While it is true that Hungary cheerfully fol
lowed the lead of Austria into the war, the
Wekerle suggestion that the treaties on which
the combination rests be examined carries with
it an implication that the Magyars may seek a
separate peace. With Bulgaria gone, Turkey
going, Roumania and Serbia revived, Hungarian
leaders can vision the invasion of their land by
a conquering force. To evade this, if possible,
they are willing to desert their partners in
crime and leave the Germans to their fate. It
is becoming a case of every man for himself
and the devil take the hindmost now.
"Let Us Have Peace" at City Hall.
The Bee reluctantly approaches Mayor Smith
with a proposal that he tender his good offices
to Commissioners Ure and Butler, in hope that
peace may be restored at the city hall. At least,
such an effort might have the effect of inducing
the combatants to restrict themselves to the
rules of civilized warfare. Gas attacks, such
as those lately indulged in, involve the innocent
bystanders, while the explosive projectiles em
ployed are of a type certainly outside the con
templation of any Hague convention. It may
be that the war aims of the-belligerents could
be ascertained, and with this knowledge an ac
commodation would be possible. So long as
hostilities are carried forward with the intensity
that now characterizes them, only suffering and
misery result, while an offer of mediation might
be the means of reaching a truce, if it did not
actually terminate the conflict. Let us have
peace 1
A citizen who has bought bonds and savings
stamps, observed the Hoover rules, sent his
sons to war and done many other helpful things,
says he did not feel that he had been called upon
to make any real sacrifice until he was asked to
pay $3 for an article he had purchased for $1
before the war. Then he felt like saying:

Right in the Spotlight
Antonio Maura, who has formed a
new cabinet in Spain, has long been
numbered among the foremost
Spanish statesmen and public offi
cials. During the past two decades
he has held numerous cabinet posi
tions and upon several occasions he
has been called to the premiership.
Senor Maura belongs to the ultra
conservative faction and is said to
entertain pro-German views with re
gards to the present, war. While
serving as premier in 1904 he in
curred the animosity of the Spanish
students and of the revolutionary
elements by the strong measures
he adopted to suppress the strike
riots in Barcelona, which city is the
chief center of the- Spanish repub
licans and socialists. The measures
adopted by Premier Maura is Barce
lona and his harsh treatment of the
insubordinate students at Salamanca
led to two attempts at his assassina
tion in 1904.

The same food, in quantity and quality, that
is issued to American soldiers; the same hous
ing and sanitary accommodations, the same
medical care, the same hours of labor as their
American captors, the same provisions for their
spiritual welfare and for; recreation, are the lot
of the German prisoners of war taken by the
A. E. F. and held by it in its own prison camps
back of the lines.
The policy outlined in a recent general or
der Is being carried out to the letter at the pris
oner of war enclosures in the S. O. S. It is
needless to say that it is in striking contrast
with the treatment accorded to American pris
oners of war by their German captors, whose
brutal methods with men forced to surrender
to them are only too well known.
Take a typical prisoner of war pen, such as
vou may see at any one of several camps in the
S. O. S. Save for the high f.nce of barbed wire
about it and the sentries pacing up and down
outside of it, you would think it to be the aver
age set of American barracks buildings. Every
thing is neat, everything ' is well appointed,
everything is laid out with military just-so-ness.
There are the chlorinated water bags, pro
tecting the users against possible infections
from polluted sources of supply; there is the
mess shack, fitted up with all the necessary con
trivances for turning the ample American ration
into palatable food; and there, under the shade
of the barracks buildings, are the prisoners
themselves, rolling their cigarets, for they get
a tobaco ration from their captors of three sacks
of makin's per man per week.
The varied types of German vou see in the
enclosure are not always engaged in rolling
their own, however. To live and keep fit, they
must work; and work they do for nine hours a
day, Sundays excepted, which is the average
normal time put in by the working soldier in
the S, O. S. these days. According to their
strength, according to their ability, they work,
some on road repairing and on railroad con
struction, more at their ow.i particular trades,
such as cobbling, tailoring, gardening, cooking
at any and all of the trades that come in handy
about a big base camp.
In connection with the cooking, it may be
said that all the food eaten by the prisoners is
dished up by their own cooks, so that there may
be no tiuestion of the army rations not being
nanaied in a way to appease the German appe
tite. For each working day they put in the pris
oners are entitled to a certain amount, of pay.
the exact sum not yet being decided on. Ar
rangements have been made to have this given
to them in canteen slips, exchangeable for goods
at their own canteens only. In addition to the
canteen privilege, arrangements have been made
to have them visited by a chaplain of the Luth
eran persuasion, the creed of the majority of
them, and to have a mass said every Sunday in
their enclosure for those of them who are Cath
olics. Each prisoner is allowed to write two letters
a week, subject, of course, to the necessarily
ripid censorship. His bathing privileges and
toilet facilities are the same as those of the
Americans.

Omaha, Oct. 15. To the Editor of
The Uee: Race patriotism with
stands all. No people living under
the Stars and Stripes, claiming citi
zenship in this grand old country,
can lay claim to a greater patriotism
than ours the negro. Therefore,
let every colored voter register at
once, and do not fail to go to the
polls on the 6th of November and
vote the republican ticket. And buy
Liberty bonds. War does not ex
cuse disfranchisement, "Jim
Crow" cars and social injustices, but
does make our first duty clear. It
does say to the heart of every negro
American, "We shall not bargain
with our loyalty. We shall not
profiteer with our country's blood:
we shall not hesitate the fraction of
a second when we are summoned to
battle to fight for the greatest re
public in the world." Everybody
should hear Dr. J. R. Ransom of
Kansas on the 23d in South Omaha,
and in Omaha the 24th, on the

Our Colored Troops
H. H. Windson in Popular Mechanics.
Had it occurred to you the universal loyalty
of our colored citizens? Have you ever met a
colored man in this country who was a pro
German? Do you even know anyone who thinks
he has actually seen one? I have personally
made this innuiry in the south, in New England,
on the Pacific coast and here at home in the
central west, and have arrived at the firm con
viction "there ain't any such animal" as a pro
German American colored man.
When the big war started and BernstorfF let
loose his long and carefully prepared plans of
arson, bombs, strikes and general confusion in
this country, one of the most dastardly schemes
on which his boss depended was an uprising of
the 9,000,000 colored people in the south.! The
effort was well organized, bountifully supplied
with money, was operated with great secrecy
and at first was carried on outside the larger
southern cities. All sorts of impossible rewards
were promised; the blacks were to own and rule
the south; every sort of poison lie was used to
tempt the colored people into a revolt against
the whites. It was expected and hoped this
revolution would keep this country busy for the
duration of the war. Of all this, people in the
north heard very little.
To the everlasting credit ofithe colored peo
ple they refused to be led into Jhe trap, and, like
the proposed revolution in India and Egypt and
some other countries, the plot miserably failed.
At, last we entered the war. What then of
the colored man? When voluntary enlistment
was offered he responded promptly and in large
numbers. During the civil war it was no infre
quent part of a northern general's report of a
battle that "the colored troops fought bravely."
The reports which are reaching us of the col
ored troops in France include more than "fought
bravely" they fight magnificently.
A letter from an officer describing such a
regiment going "over the top" is a picture worth
painting. Bareheaded, shirts unbuttoned, or no
shirts at all, with the most unearthly yells, as
demons let loose, they went at the enemy like a
cage of wild lions released. These boys from
the cotton and cane fields like best to fight with
the bayonet, which Fritz enjoys least of all, but
in hand-to-hand combat they fall back on their
trusty razor of knife, in the use of which they
are more than proficient The stanchest Hun
js said to tjuail and run before one of these
"dusky giants bent on carving a map of Florida
on a fat German face, or a delta of the Missis
sippi oh his throat.
Yes, the colored troops are still "fighting
bravely."
People and Events
Too many persons on the good roads of life
lack self-starters. They have to be cranked up
to go. , Back number kings and kaisers are de

To a French soldier gallantry is second na
ture. Henri Clandon, representing his country
at a ceremony in New York, called young girls
from the sidewalk and decorated them with
tricolor brooches. Say, girls, wasn't that per

A shady barkeep in Chicago cleaned up

A champion riveter pulled down $64 for eight

fellers of labor may file a first mortgage on 26

Thirteen railroad dining car waiters, chefs
and stewards indicted by a grand jury down
east for conspiracy to defraud the government
must revise their notions about Uncle Sam as
an easy boss. It is possible now and then to
"solider" on your Uncle's innumerable jobs and
get away with it, but when it comes to swiping
more money than the pay check calls for, then
or later trouble Marts and heads the crook for
some imposing stone-walled castle.
One of the several big questions put up to
Illinois voters for settlement next month is
state regulation of private banks. Sounds
strange that a progressive state should make a
political issue out of compulsory financial hon
esty, but it's the truth. Sixty-four private banks
have gone into the hole in seven years in Cook
county alone and thousands of people robbed of
their deposits. Talk about "easy money." The
Illinois system which permits anyone who has
the price of signs and fixtures to launch a bank
and rake in unsophisticated money beats all
other iO way ' -
