The Fist of Righteousness
Germany is seeking to have the United
,' States compound its felony. The United States
resolutely refused to deal with, to minimize or
to condone in any measure any of the offenses
"of the Germans. The stern edict, the fiat of
righteousness has gone forth, "They that take
up the sword shall perish by the sword." A
victory by the Sword is the only victory in
. sight that will be a full and permanent victory
for the gain of the world. Any other course
would be.derogatory to the honor of the United
; States, a proposal of any other course from
Washington would be a betrayal of the nations
that suffered three years of the German blight
prior to the entrance of this country into the
war. This attitude is not vindictive, but vjrtu
". ous.
.Should the United States engage to move
for peace short of full surrender of the foe upon
' the field and the inauguration of a government
;and reforms, stable, approved by governmental
'--experts of the allied nations and a peace that
'would satisfy all the just claims of the ravished
nations, the United States would be guilty be
fore history, recreant to its high obligations and
a traitor to the aims of humanity. The proposi
tion is unthinkable.
v . ThereNis nothing punitive, let it be repeated,
- in the attitude of this country. It is simply the
" attitude of adequate justice, without which there
would be a residual of wrongs unrigged that
would clamor later on for satisfaction. In the
end Germans a reformed Germany the Ger
man people come to their own. would be better
treated and would be gainers beyond anything

THE RECONSTRUCTION CONGRESS.
Peace may come upon us, as did the war,
overnight Not even the most conservative of
observers postpones its advent as long as two
years. For these reasons it is almost certain
that the next congress will be the reconstruc
tion congress. Under such conditions it seems
imperative that it be made up of men who are
pledged in all senses to the protection and
preservation of American interests. Remarka
ble as it may seem, we are no better prepared
for peace than we were for war. Should hostili
ties cease at any time within the next few
months, America would be found wholly un
ready for the great problems of demobilization.
Senator Weeks of Massachusetts introduced
1n congress a resolution calling for a joint com
mittee, to be composed equally of republicans
and democrats, six from the senate and six
from the house, to study and make report in de
tail on the questions involved. This was sent
to a committee, and was shortly followed by a
bill from Senator Overman, empowering the
president to name a commission of five to do
practically the work proposed by the Weeks
resolution. The chief difference is that under
the Weeks plan the work will be done by con
gress, in a nonpartisan way, while the Overman
bill puts the matter into the hands of the presi
dent entirely, and certainly opens the way for
the partisan handling of the enormous task.
The work properly belongs to congress, for
it requires legislation to demobilize the army,
restore industries to peace footing, turn the
railroads and telegraph and telephone systems
back to their owners, to provide for the opera
tion of the great fleet of ocean freight-carrying
vessels owned by the government, and to do all
the many details that come into the general
problem. When you vote for congressman or
senator, think not alone of what he will do for
the country at war, but what he will do for the
country when peace comes.
Shotwell for County Attorney.
If this is the era for young men who do
things and have a future before them, the popu
lar choice of a county attorney will go to A. V.
Shotwell, whose name appears on the ballot as
the republican nominee for that office. Mr.
Shotwell is by all his fellow attorneys practic
ing with him at this bar conceded to be a young
man of exceptional legal talents, earnest, in
dustrious, sincere, clean, forwardrlooking fully
competent to fill the job creditably. It just
happens that he has been a victim of the dread
"flu" epidemic, which has prevented him from
making a canvass of the voters as he had
planned, and for a time caused gravej fears for
his recovery. But this misfortune, we may be
sure, will not stop his friends from rallying to
his support or prevent the deserved approval of
his candidacy by a good majority at the polls.
The voter who marks his ballot for Shotwell for
county attorney will make no mistake.
Can the Leopard Change His Spots?
Dr. Solf's statement, contained in his cur
rent note to the president, that the government
of Germany has been placed in the hands of the
people, must be taken with a grain of salt. If
it be true, as he says, that "far-reaching
changes" have been made in the German con
stitution, some attention should be given to the
examination of the same. Voerwaerts, the so
cialistic organ, which hardly would be suspected
of minimizing any victory for the 'people, gives
this outline of the reform bill, which is not yet
become a law, despite the assurances of the for
eign secretary:
First: War can only be decided with the
sanction of the Reichstag and Bunder-ath.
Second: The chancellor can only remain
in power while he possesses the confidence of
the Reichstag.
Third: The chancellor will be responsible
for the political action of the kaiser, and the
chancellor and the ministry will be responsi
ble for their tenure of office to the Reichstag
and Bundesrath. i
Fourth: .The appointment and dismissal
of officers of the army and navy can only be
made effective by the signature of the chan
cellor. The ministers of war will be held
responsible for the same by the Reichstag.
Study these provisions for a moment or two
and note how far short they fall of realizing
anything that approaches free . government.
Under them the kaiser remains head of the em
pire, with the irresponsible Bundesrath between
him and the popular body. The rest of it is
brought about by indirection where it is now
direct. And the Reichstag that is to determine
all these things is the same that shouted "Hoch
der kaiser!" when von Bethmann-Hollweg an
nounced the declaration of war in 1914. Last
week it voted confidence in Prince Max as
chancellor.
The hand now stretched out may be the
hand of Esau, but the voice is certainly the
voice of Jacob.
Loss of the Sophia.
Some, day the story of the sinking of the
Sophia will be told not by a survivor, for there
are none, but someone on the steamers that
were held off by the storm while the fated ves
sel was pounded to pieces on the reef, will tell
the tale. It will . then be found that another
sad but bright chapter has been added to Anglo-Saxon
annals of the sea. A tragedy of the
North Pacific waters, where so many heroic
ventures have been recorded that they have
become commonplace to the men who brave
the storm gods in the sternest waters that chal
lenge sailors, the Sophia's fate brings softened
glory to a race whose boldness has made sea
lanes serviceable for centuries. Neptune him
self has not forbidden these to use th seas in
fullest freedom, but Kaiser Wilhelm sought to
prescribe rules, and to terrify with U-boats the
sailors who do not dread the strength of the
elements in their wildest anger. Had, the Ger
man emperor read the history of the race aright
he would have thought' several times before he
invited the Anglo-Saxon to a contest for su
premacy of the sea.
"The" New York soap box orator, after
spending a year in jail, has just been inducted
into the army he sneered at His sentiments
may not have undergone any change, but his
base of action has.
One clear ray of light comes out of the con
fusion in the Near East, and that is the Turk's
plea for peace. Unconditional surrender will
be mild for this malefactor.
LudendorfTs management of the German

his resignation easier to bear for the kaiser.

about in expressing myself, my 'sole'
wish is that you will save me from
becoming a 'crabbed' old bachelor. I

Ute Chief Shines as Scout
Stars and Stripes, France.
The Ute war cry rang through French
town the other day when Chief Ross, otherwise
Private Ross, battalion scout of the infantry,
during a moment of triumph over his (jerman
enemy, forgot himself and uttered the ancient
tocsin of his race.
A year ago, -when Private Ross bade farewell
to his native state Arizona and shed his buck
skin riding trousers for a uniform, he immedi
ately became a chief. Not a chief with the same
executive powers as the chiefs that ruled oyer
his race years ago. but a olam buck private chiet,
His white brethren insisted on calling him chief
the first day he arrived in camp, although he
peeled potatoes for the mess sergeant that day,
and real chiefs are not supposed to do K. F.
Chief Ross is not what you would call a
model soldier. He has been known to salute
an officer only once, and that was when he had
gone to his captain for the third time to request
a pass. He never talks much, although he has
a fair knowledge of English. He had smiled-up
to the other day only once since he has been
in the army, and that, his comrades say, was
when his scout commander promised' him a cer
tain errand which the officer was about to send
him upon.
It was at a training camp in America that a
scout captain first noted the scouting abilities
of Chief Ross. One day the regiment was
maneuvering, and it was necessary to send out
scouts. Lhiet Koss was selected. A detach
ment, commanded by the captain, was to act
as the enemy, and it was Chief Ross' duty to
scout ahead of the advance guard, locate the en
emy and report his location to the colonel.
An hour later the Indian reported the exact
location of the "enemy" and then disappeared.
When the captain and his detachment had been
captured Chief Ross brought up the rear. He
had returned to their position and hid behind
a log to avoid a mistake in case the "enemy"
changed its location. During his going and
coming the scout had been unobserved, and the
captain was much surprised on learning that his
position in a thick berry patch had been under
observation by Ross from the time he entered
it until his capture.

The first day the regiment went into battle
Chief Ross was very active. By night he knew
every shell hole in No Man's Land, the location
of every machine gun nest and sniper's post.
It was during that first day of battle that
the Indian scout relapsed into a silence pro
found even for him. He spoke to no one except
on rare occasions. When directed to perform
a certain errand he merely grunted and then
faded away into the forest or underbrush. The
errand performed and he has never failed to
perform one yet, whether it be a machine gun
nest that needs silencing or only a sniper he
would return to his own lines without even so
much as making a report to his scout commander.
His actions were noticed by the French offi
cers and poilus. What they regarded him as at
first they were too polite to tell, but soon they
began to understand and admire him.
I here came the night at rismes when the
scout officer and a patrol found themselves lost
in a dark wood. They dared not go one way
or another without first obtaining proper infor
mation as to their location for fear of walking
into the German lines. They were discussing
their problem when a dark form crawled out
from under a shelter and approached the lieu
It was Chief Ross. He walked over to the
officer, pulled at his coat sleeve and bade him
follow,, uttering one of his grunts. Fifteen
minutes later the party walked back into its
own lines. '
Chief Ross developed a certain paternal af
fection for a German luger pistol that he cap
tured one night in the enemy trenches. He
carries it with him wherever he goes for fear
that one of his white brothers will annex it in
his absence if he leaves it lying around.
It is with this automatic pistol that he ac
complishes his various tasks as a battalion
scout. He seldom carries anything else except
hand grenades. His supply of ammunition is
always low, but he manages to visit the German
trenches often enough to keep supplied, and this
German-made weapon has killed many boches.
Ihe scout commander expressed his desire
to acquire a pair of German field glasses. He
made the remark to another officer in the pres
ence of Chief Ross. That night a scouting
party went out and Chief Ross was of it. Next
morning the Indian approached the scout com
mander and presented him with a pair of field
glasses. "I get him dugout," he explained,
pointing toward the German lines.
It was last week, during the American ad
vance beyond Fismes across the Vesle, that the
greatest test of all came. A machirre gun was
holding up the advance with a harassing fire.
It was broad daylight 3 o clock in the aft
ernoon. Ihe task of silencing the machine gun
was left to the scout commander. A picket pa
trol was to go out and accomplish the job. The
work fell on Chief Ross and three companions,
the three being picked because they are almost
as clever as Ross himself.
The patrol disappeared into the underbrush
with the Indian leading, his luger pistol ready
and two grenades bulging in his hip pocket.
ihe machine gun emplacement, it was dis
covered, was in the high window of a building;
not 200 yards from the American line. Two
men were left out front to draw its fire, and
Uiief Koss and the fourth man advanced on the
position from two sides.
It was Ross who got within ranee first. He
crawled up to within a few yards of the build
ing and could see the muzzle of the machine
gun protruding through the window.
An instant later a well aimed grenade hurled
from the chief's right hand burst inside the
compartment, killing one of the two Germans
and demolishing the gun. The surviving Ger
man retreated through a back window and slid
to the ground directly behind the building,
where he would be protected by German ma
chine gun fire from the rear.
It was certain death to attempt to reach the
retreating Hun from either side of the buildine.
as machine guns were then pouring forth a hail
storm ot bullets.
The German was cunning, but not nearly so
cunning as the Ute. Chief Ross swung himself
up to the roof, and, catlike, approached its ridge,
wnere ne naa a commanding view ot his fleeing
enemy.
Three shots did the job.
It was then that Chief Ross releaser! hU
tribe's ancient war whoop. It was his moment
of triumph. And if the other members of the
patrol cduld have seen the Indian's face at that
moment they might have seen him smile for the
second time since he has been- in the army.
Allies on the Danube
The stretch of ihe Danube shore now held
by the French lies in Bulgarian territory. The
fact is significant. It shows that Bulgarian soil.
according to the terms of Ihe capitulation, is
available for the allies as a base for operations.
The 'French on the Danube are facing Rou
manian territory, and dramatic developments in
that country may be expected in the northern
advance. The Greeks are now standing on their
eastern frontier, and it may be assumed that the
British are with them, ready to march across
the strip of Bulgarian territory between the
Mesta and. the Maritza, in the direction of Con
stantinople. Dispatches to the London Times
dealing with events preceding the Macedonian
campaign relate that when Germany and Aus
tria found themselves unable to send reinforce
ments to Bulgaria a bargain was struck with
Talaat Pasha whereby in return for a loan a
Turkish army from Asia Minor was to be
brought over to Europe. The Turks received
the money, put no tfoops were forthcoming.
Consequently, ,a Greco-British army should en
counter no formidable opposition in an advance
on Constantinople wherevver policy dictates
such a step. New York Post. --- --
To Voters With Consciousness.
Omaha, Oct. 28. To the Editor of
The Bee: How I am going to vote
or how any individual is going to
vote at the coming election is not a
matter of any great importance, but
it may be of some interest to other
voters to know how the president's
extraordinary letter advising every
voter to vote the democratic ticket
affects at least one independent
voter. 1 have not been for years in
entire sympathy with the republican
party. I went with the progressive
party, and still believe its platform
to be the platform upon which the
country must work out its salvation,
steering a straight and correct course
between radical socialism and equal
ly radical individualism. I said at
one time that I never under any cir
cumstances would vote ag.Jn for
George W. Norris for anything be
cause of his war record, and told
him so. As a matter of course,
when the democratic party nomi
nated Morehead it shook my resolu
tion to some extent, for Morehead
has all Norris' disqualifications and
none of his qualifications for the
Job; all of his disabilities and none
of his ability, but even with that I
was in doubt, as I have been as to
a number of other republican candi
dates. A good friend suggested to
me only recently that someone ought
to write a letter helpink doubting
voters (he said there were thousands
of them right in Jmaha) to decide.
I toM him I'd do it in a minute if
someone would tell me what to do.
Then, along comes the president
and solves the problem nicely. I,
for one, am going to vote for repub
licans, and I'm going to stretch a
point every time in favor of a repub
lican against a democrat. I am not
going to slavishly follow the presi
dent's example that is, I will not
vote for a republican who is clearly
disloyal against a democrat who is
clearly loyal, but I'm going to give
him the benefit of the doubt every
time. The president seems to want
democrats, loyal or disloyal, as
against republicans, but I am not
going that far tho other way. As I
said in the beginning, that isn't at
all important, but if the letter affects
other independents likewise, it will
be important, and I think it is up to
a lot of these to make the fact
known for the benefit of my friend s
doubting thousands.
Come on with the letters. Lets
make this one point so plain that it
cannot be misread millions and bil
lions, lives and property, health,
comfort, all to the president to con
duct this war to a successful con
clusion and bring about a just and
permanent peace, not one cent nor
one- vote for partisan profit or party
triumph. And let's discourage, for
all time, another attempt to make a
partisan matter out of a great strug
gle for national existence and na
tional welfare. H. W. MORROW.

Wants Stricter Quarantine.
Omaha, Oct. 24. To the Editor of
The Bee: While the Spanish "flu"
is ravaging the city and killing the
people, why a half-quarantine, that,
by giving a feeling of security, does
more harm than good?
It is one of the most contagious
diseases, yet no house where it is
Is quarantined. The well ones of af
flicted families go and come at their
will, carrying and spreading the dis
ease wherever they go.
Every thoughtful person surely
realizes that to protect the people
from its ravages a quarantine no
less rigid than that for smallpox or
scarlet fever should be employed.
For the sake of saving suffering and
lives let us have a proper and effec
tive quarantine. Fumigate the well
ones of sick families and have them
stay away from home. Keep the
sick people in their homes and keep
well people away from houses where
there is sickness. Let a card be on
every house where there is "flu" and
arrest every person going into such
houses. Then, and not till then, will
the disease be controlled.

What Abou. Those Rifles?
Omaha, Oct. 28. To the Editor of
The Bee: I have been curious to
know whether the matter of John
H. Morehead and those government
rifles has ever been satisfactorily
explained. As I recall It, the rifles
belonged to the national govern
ment and were loaned in some in
stances to German societies in this
state. Didn't Governor Neville say
that the rifles had been loaned to
high school cadets? I have been
watching for the names of the high
schools. We voters want to keep
our history on straight, and I am
here to remark that before More
head asks for votes to send him to
the United States senate, and Ne
ville seeks re-election, they should
explain Just what happened to those
rifles. DOX BOX NO. 2.

A Word of Appreciation.
Omaha, Oct 29. To the Editor
of The Bee: Because of existing
conditions, the central food con
servation council has been unable to
hold any meeting at which it might
express in a formal resolution its ap
preciation of the successful work
done in Omaha during the last year
by Miss Nellie Farnsworth, federal
home food demonstration agent
If work well done is its own re
ward, Miss Farnsworth is well re
warded. While the cause for which she la
bored called forth her best efforts,
and while she gave no thought to
the plaudits of the people, surely all
block chairmen and all members of
the central council desire her to
know that, in addition to the admi
ration extended to her as a capable
and conscientious worker they feel
for her the real affection which the
The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary
liquid arvon ; apply it at night when
retiring: use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
Do this tonight and by morning
most if not all of your dandruff
will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no mat
ter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times bet
ter.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive and
never fails; to do the work. Adv.
