THE BEE'S SERVICE FLAG Rifl lMt "Unconditional surrender," says Vox Populi. Who is backing the suit to defeat the home rule charter? Well, the flu orders are keeping the home lights burning, if nothing else. The weather man is doing his level best now to save the future of the food situation. The Allies have taught the German army an excellent substitute for the "goose step." "Big Jeff" for congress. Let's have a con gressman who is more than "a messenger boy." "When the devil was sick, the devil a monk would be," and the Hun is a pretty sick devil right now. 1 This being the people's war, they should have something to say about how it is to be terminated. A few good, snappy words from Washington right now would find an anxious listener in Con-stantinople. No war was ever won by writing notes or talking about it. Victory comes only to armies in the field. Omaha may now catch the popular disease of "airplaneckitis," said to be so prevalent round aviation fields. V; The kaiser is keeping safely in the back ground till he sees how his agent succeed. "Take 'em off, Wilhelm; we know you." e tYes, dear reader; we know the McLemore resolution was beaten, but we also know that Charles Otto Lobeck voted against beating it.. m The "flu" may put a stop to political meet ings, but it will not keep people from thinking, and that is fatal to the democrats in Nebraska this fall. Talk about keeping off crowded street cars in Omaha sounds all right, but how will we do it? Everybody wants to go home at the same time, as usual. This nonpartisan ballot, foisted on us to open the door to democrats, is not meeting ex pectations even of its sponsors. These wonder working reforms go askew about half the time. ' A little common sense properly applied ought to relieve the alleged difficulties in the Nebraska potato situation. The problem is , simple enough to make easy the location of any profiteering. Presumably the Hyphenated World-Herald prints translations of editorials from 'Der Deutsche Tribune, so the kaiserites who cannof read German may have them the same as those who still adhere to the language. Gee, it's tough, Harvey, isn't it, to try to write in Omaha editorials for the Hyphenated that will fit in with what the senator-boss says from time to time at Washington without pos sessing the powers of a mind-reader? The camouflage democratic pencil pushers who always cry "dirty politics" when their pet candidates are touched in vulnerable spots keep calling out, "Slippery Sam," in hope that a coin age of epithets will make up for lack of argu ments. Is this clean politics? Suppose repub licans referred to Governor Neville as "a tin soldier" or a "Mullenized manikin" or a "Hitch cock pig-tail," would not that be answering in kind? But what's the use? - Saber Cuts in Food It is officially announced that there is to be a further cutting in the portions sold to customers in hotels and restaurants. There is no possible ; reason to doubt that the managers of such re " fectories will comply with the strictest letter and spirit of the new regulation. Always, since the beginning of war pressure on food supplies, they have demonstrated a spirit of law-abiding-ness in reducing portions, which would do them infinite credit if only the weapon with which they do the cutting were two-edged, and could ' cut away, along with the material, at least an approximation to a proportion in the price. But - as wielded'thus far by the publicans it is not a two-edged sword, butV cavalry saber, with but one sharp edge. ' In a genuine cavalry charge the saber stroke is downward. In hotel and restaurant charges, since the beginning of restrictions, it is upward, in this sense; you continue paying the price and getting less for it While it might not oe true or fair to say that the caterers are profiteering, ' it is an undeniable fact that, under progressive .reduction in portions served w '?

Somebody made a bad bungle in waiting till the last minute to countermand the order for our last c-uota of draft men to proceed to train ing camp. Not till after these men had assembled at the appointed court house rendezvous to be in ducted into the army not till after they had all given up their employments, often at great sac rifice, relinquished their living quarters and packed away or disposed of their belongings not till after those from out-of-town had made the trip to Omaha, many accompanied by moth ers and sisters or fathers and brothers to speed them on their way with a last farewell not until after the civilian escort had reported and the military band from Fort Omaha had been dispatched to enliven the send-off not until after all this was the slightest intimation given that they might not go. The reason for cancelling the order because of the prevalence of the "flu" epidemic may be good, but this condition is by no means a new one; on the contrary, it has been on for several weeks, and the call for these draft men could easily have been withheld or modified a week ago. No on? who saw the forlorn folks sitting all day long, from early( morning till night, on the stone coping of the court house square, waiting and waiting to learn whether their loved ones were soon to depart, could fail to realize the harshness and hardship of the bungle. Of course, there is no use bewailing what has happened, but something should be done at once to apply the remedy. The boys out of jobs and out of house and home should be taken care of the government, or if not the govern ment, the civilian relief of the Red Cross, should furnish a temporary place fp'r these waiting sol diers so that they do not have to carry the whole load of a mistake for which they are in no way responsible. Is the American Public "Uninformed?" The general feeling will be that he the president must be trusted to answer this last fulmination from Berlin without any pressure of uninformed public opinion upon him, one way or the other. Philadelphia Ledger. What are we to infer from this that the American public is not informed as to the causes, the progress and the aims of the war? The president has told the country and the world that he esteems the leaders of Germany as without honor, wholly untrustworthy and unable to speak our language of agreement. He has declared himself in favor of force to the utmost. Since August, 1914, the world has had de tailed information of continued atrocities, out rages on decency, violation of all laws of hu manity and rules of civilized warfare, the charges amply substantiated by competent testi mony of eye-witnesses and victims. This has come through official as well as private channels. Are we to withhold judgment now, assuming to believe that overnight the Hun has changed his nature, that by the operation of some hocus pocus unknown to us the same German govern ment has suddenly ceased to be an arbitrary despotism and become responsible to the peo ple, and therefore worthy of our confidence and fellowship? Will it not be far better for the world if Mr. Wilson-g-eturn to his declaration at Baltimore and give vitality to his words uttered at New York? Mr. Lansing said at Syracuse: "We will give them war, and war, and more war, until Germany will sicken at the very name of war." Those were brave words and well spoken, and received the endorsement of the whole Amer ican people. Will we now let up, just because the dose we are administering is beginning to have the effect intended? Mr. Wilson may have some information as to the military situation of which( the public is unadvised, but ,he can well afford to heed the universal sentiment of his people in dealing with Germany. Foreign Comment on the German Note. American opinion as to the insincerity of the German peace maneuvers is unwavering. Only one voice is heard on this side of the water, and that is for surrender unconditionally. It is interesting to notice, too, that comment in England and France is in perfect harmony with views so frankly expressed on this side. Less could not be looked for, as none expects either Great Britain or France to be content with a negotiated peace. In the present instance, though, the tone it unconstrained, while in the case of the first note our Allies rather held back, to see what effect it would have over here. Then the steadfastness of America in the war was made plain to them; they were at once ac quainted with the fact that we are not likely to be gulled by German blandishments, misled by sophistries of accomplished diplomats or de ceived by the assertions of shameless liars. Having this assurance, the public men, editors and others on the other side no longer hesitate to utter their opinions. Naturally, the govern ments are silent, but H may be taken for granted that President Wilson is making no move with out fully advising with London, Paris and Rome. Full accord in aim and action is what has brought success to the armies of democracy and will surely defeat the Hui. 1 Under the Sword of Justice. Orders said to have been issued from the German high command to end looting and devas tation as the retreat goes on may rest on some foundation other than apprehension of retalia tion on German towns. Lord Reading's re mark that justice may be tempered with mercy where extenuating circumstances exist, but that in the case of Germany justice must be stern, has found a wide endorsement. The New York Times, for example, recalls that Wirz, the brute of Andersonville (who was German-born), was tried, convicted and executed six months after the surrender of Lee. Eminent British authori ties, and French as well, agree that to allow the high offenders to escape scot free would be flouting justice. It may be the exponents of kultur who have wrought such horrors in the world for the last four years can see something other than condonation awaiting them. They are under the sword of justice now. Did you notice the difference in expression of two great newspaper owners, Northcliffe and Hitchcock, in their comment on the German note? The Britisher came out flat-footed and emphatic in rejection of the plea from Berlin, while the kaiser-coddler straddled and side stepped, as h$ always las. The contrast is sig-nificantjl I mmmm mm 11 L J ' Right in the Spotlight. Mme. Sarah Bernhardt, the world famous French actress who has closed her American tour in order to return to France to undergo another surgical operation, today enters upon the 75th year of her perpetual youth. In the annals of the stage the career of Mme. Bern hardt is without an equal. Bom in Paris, of Dutch-Jewish parentage, she made her first stage appearance at the age of IS. Thus, her profes sional career covers a period of nearly 60 years. When at the height of her fame she was generally rec ognized as one of the foremost act resses of the world. She first ap peared in America in 1880 and since that time she has made numerous tours of the United States and Can ada. When past 70 years of age the famous actress was seized with an ailment which necessitated the amputation of her right leg, but even this misfortune did not bring to an end her professional career. j One Year Ago Today in the War.

Library problems in wartime are to be discussed by the Missouri Li brary association, meeting in annual session today at Kansas City. Storyette of the Day. The lady who had charge of the village postoffice was strongly sus pected of tampering with the par cels entrusted to her care. One day a rosy-cheeked youngster entered the office and laid a huge slice of cake on tht counter. "My sister, the bride's compli ments, and will you please eat as much as you can," she said. The postmistress smiled delight edly. "How kind of the bride to remem ber me," she cried, "Did she know of my weakness for cake?" "She did,' replied the youngster coldly. "And she thought she'd send you some to take the edge off your appetite before she sent any boxes to her friends."-Pearson's Weekly. OVER HERE AND THERE A drafted soldier, formerly a milk man of New Rochelle, N. Y., writes to the home folks: "I like army life alt right, only it Is mighty hard to lie abed until 5:30 o'clock in the morning." "Standard civilian flannel," manu-, factured under governmental super vision, goes on sale this autumn in Great Brltraln, for winter use. It carries a government label and a fixed price of 64 cents a yard. Back in New Jersey women mem bers of the Red Cross Motor corps and of the Motor Corps of America, when in uniform are invariably saluted as they drive by. At first some male gawkers snickered rude ly. Forced apologies quickly stop ped that line of discourtesy. The point of view of the boys at the front is expressed by a Cleve land soldier In a letter to his father, published in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "We have a big Job on our hands yet," he writes, "and we do not want to leave it uncompleted and then have to come across again in a few years, and finish what wi should finish now," ; -, ;. , Making Canned Music Literary Digest The hard-rubber "record" that makes Caruso sing or Kreisler play in your own little den was not formed directly by the voice of the one or the violin of the other, any more than the print on this page was laboriously placed here by the editor's pen. Both are the results of modern quantity-reproduction the wondrous methods by which all sorts Yf articles are multiplied by the million and distributed from sea to sea at a cost that bears only a small ratio to that of the original that was the source of them all. Your record was molded from a metal electrotype matrix, which was made from a "mother," jivhich in its turn was molded from a "master,' itself an electrcrfyped reproduction of the original wax disk whose grooves were really cut upon its sur face by the sound vibrations that it is ultimately to reproduce. In The Scientific American (New York, August 31) Austin C. Lescarboura tells of the various staees in the production and man ufacture of a record. And first he describes the studio where is born the real music of which the record gives us only the 'counterfeit present ment The arrangement of this music room is all-important, Mr. Lescarboura tells us, and in most places the musicians are introduced to a "studio" before they enter the actual "labora tory" where they play to the reproducing ma chinery. He writes in substance: "There is such a thing as 'phonograph fright,' just as there is the well-known stage fright. This, no doubt, is due to the changed conditions; there are no footlights, no audience and no ap plause. There is simply a little horn to stare at and to sing into. It is a brand new kind of work for the artist, who must learn to sing or play for the records. And that is where the 'at mosphere' helps matters, for it removes much of the cold, mechanical aspect of recording. The artist comes to a 'studio,' not a factory, and in the seclusion of the homelike private sitting rooms he can rehearse his selections until he is ready for the laboratory on the floor above. "The most bizarre feature of this laboratory scene is, no doubt, the seating arrangement. In order that each instrument will 'focus' on the horn without interference of any sort the mu sicians are seated on chairs of varying heights, with the lowest ones nearest the horn and the highest ones six feet tall in some cases at the rear of the semicircle. The music stands, in turn, are surpended from the ceiling by an ar rangement of overhead rails and hangers. "Certain instruments, such as horns, must be kept in the background, while others, the vio lin, for instance, are placed in the front row. In the case of brass instruments, where the horn is behind the player, a queer situation arises. The sound must be directed toward the horn, yet the musician must follow the orchestra leader. Fortunately, with a large mirror mount ed on an adjustable stand, the musician can sit with his back to the horn and the leader, while observing both through the mirror in front of him. "When everything is in readiness the mu sicians wait for the buzzer signal, which indi cates that the recording appartus has started and that every sound is being recorded. With the sound of the first buzzer signal silence reigns." Should there be a discordant note the wax record is ruined and work must start all over again. There is no such thing as patching; the rendition must be absolutely correct. Once in a great while in the middle of a selection a sneeze or cough breaks out triumphantly! And no matter how much time may have been ex pended on the record up to that pointit is now wasted and work must begin again'. We read further: "What takes place during the recording of a selection can best be learned by entering the long and narrow room back of the partition. "The sound waves entering the large end of the specially devised horn are brought down and intensified as they approach the smaller end. Here they strike upon a diaphragm which vi brates in' response to their impulses. Connected with the center of this diaphragm by a delicate lever is a fine cutting tool. This tool, moving in response to the motion of the diaphragm, cuts a groove in ,a revolving disk of soft wax, which groove corresponds in onfiguration with the outline of the sound w-es enteringthe horn. "Much depends on the wax disk. Its surface is carefully prepared so as to be absolutely flat and smooth and free from imperfections of any kind. Preparatory to being used, the wax disks are kept in a cabinet that is electrically heated so as to maintain a constant temperature. When a selection is to be recorded the wax disk, meas uring a half-inch or more m thickness by the usual diameter of the standard record, is placed on the turntable. The gravity motor is started and the producer tool placed the proper distance in from the edge. The buzzer signal is given to the orchestra leader at this time, and with the cutting of the required number of blank groves the second or 'start' signal is given." The first wax record is a so-called test record and corresponds to a printer's proof. As it is played the director, with the musical score in his hands, follows the selection, oointine out a loud note which must be subdued or the weakness of the accompaniment, or criticising the enuncia tion of a word. He thus "reads" the record, just as tne editor proofreads and revises this page before the reader sees it To auote further: "After the wax record is completed the wax is allowed to set or become hard. The test record is thrown out after having served its pur pose, as the grooves of soft wax have been more or less ruined by the steel needle of the repro ducer. "The wax master is carefully covered over with tine powdered graphite, which is brushed evenly into every groove and hollow. It is then suspended in an electroplating tank and sub jected to a weak electric current for a period of 45 to 50 hours. The weak current necessitates a long immersion in the plating bath, and the de posit, in consequence, is extremely hne-grained. The thin shell of copper deposited on the graph ited wax, carrying every grove and variation of the master, is stripped from its support and soldered on a heavy brass disk, after which it is nickel-plated to harden its surface. This elec trotype, to give it the proper name, is the 'mas ter.' "A second electrotype operation now follows. The nickel-plated master is treated with acid to prevent the next copper plating from sticking, and it is placed in an electrotyping tank for a period of 50 hours. The thin copper shell is then removed and mounted on metal and the electrotype thus obtained is called, the 'mother.' The mother is nickel-plated, treated with acid and placed in the electroplating tank in order to produce still another electrotype, which is known as the 'matrix and from which the com mercial records are molded." People and Events What the junkers are saying about Von Hin denburg these days may be translated into seven words: "It's a darn long time between vic tories."

To the Editor of The Bee: During these days I hear a good deal of complaint about our Congressman Otto Lobeck, particu larly on the South Side, where 1 have lived for the last 20 years. Some blame him because he let the great Camp Dodge cantonment get away from Omaha and go to Des Moines. Some blame him because he let the contract foil the construction of the buildings at the Fort Omaha Balloon school go to a foreign contractor. Some blame him because he Is una ble to exert enough Influence to get an adequate water main into Fort Crook so as to supply enough water to keep a larger number of men at that post Some blame him because his father was a Prussian and be cause they say he is pro-German. Some blame him because he voted wrong on the McLemore resolution. Some blame htm because during the early period of the war he Introduced in the lower house of congress the infamous embargo bill, introduced in the senate by Senator Hitchcock, to prevent the shipment of arms and ammunition to our present allies. Complaint is made of this bill be cause if it had become a law the whole world would now be in the power of Germany. I write this, letter, however, to say that while I am for Jefferis, and not for Lobeck, there is one thing for which Lobeck may perhaps be com mended, and that is that up to the present time he ras been able to pre vent the removal of the main Dost office building from Omaha. Of course, this building is rather large ana nara to move, and in the end Lobeok may let it get away from him. Let us hope, however, that before he does so we will have him replaced by Albert W. Jefferis. who will be a real representative of this district in congress and will do real things not only for us, but for the state and for the nation, and the winning of the war, and in helping to solve the great problems that will come after the winning of the war.
