The squeal of the defeated Hun is a natural

Poor little Holland has her woes further in

Hindy offers his sword to the socialists, but

Mr. Burleson's efficiency plans for railway
mail service get fine illustration in the fact that
appeals for democratic votes, issued and mailed
in New York in October, are' just now reaching

The united war work drive is just as impres

necessity for making it a success is fully as im
perative.' Make the giving a joy by giving
promptly and liberally.
Von Hindenburg is to be questioned by a
committe from the" soldiers' and workers' coun
cil, who will decide whether he is an asset or
a liability. If he ever gets back to his Masur

Profiteers, big and little, may take warning
front the proceedings of Monday. In cele
brating the overthrow of the kaiser abroad the
people indicate what may be the fate of the
meaner lot of oppressors at home.
The Hun was frightful to the very end, a
fact attested to by his drenching small French
towns with poison gas on Monday morning just
before the hour for the armistice to become
effective. Those things will be remembered
long after peace comes.
Spreading Joy in France
Nothing has so delighted the French who
have been brought into touch with the Amer
ican troops as their wonderful gayety that
neither the hardships nor the tragedies of war
can dim or dampen. The Paris LTllustration
has had many an article couched in the highest
terms of appreciation, describing the effect upon
French village of the behavior of. American
troops both before they went into battle as well
' as after they came out. Their singing and dancing-Mho
dance including the familiar college
campus "snap the whip" or "snake dance;" their
teal for cleanliness, their smiling faces, the
whiteness of their teeth, their chivalry, and,
what touches the French abave all, their ardent
belief in their cause and the idea that they are
there to redress a gross wrong, and to be the
happy vehicle of justice to France and to the
world. All these things are painted by able
?rench correspondents and writers, so that it is
the simple truth and not the fond admiration
for its own that leads Sophie Borie Norris to
accentuate this phase of the American "crusade
over there. Indeed, her vivid pen picture of
these boys, well or wounded, who have a ca
pacity for gayety that goes hand in hand with a
sound head, even .to the insouciance of being
inveterate "souvenir collectors," is one of those
heartening things that must be read along tvvith
the more solemn lists of those who have made
.he great sacrifice. Only those who have a good
cause and a clear conscience can be gay, and
that despite their amazement at the "yelling"
(college cheers and Indian warwhoops and cal
liope calls) and at the shrill "whistling," about
which they have their doubts, the French see
the fine side to this almost rollicking gayety and
art telling their countrymen all about it, is a
fine feather in our cap. With all the horrors,
we have a right to be rap-v -s tv of au
tocracy impends. Philadelphia Ledger?'-
PART OF THE PEACE PROGRAM. .
So many big things confront the world as a
result of the end of the war that the best
thought will be engaged for some time in ar
ranging the program for future action. Con
sent will generally be given to the proposal that
our first business must be to feed the hungry.
The Bee long ago pointed out conditions that
prevail in central Europe, where more than a
hundred million people now face starvation.
Had it not been that the barrier raised by Ger
many was broken down, millions would surely
have perished for want of food. With our ut
most endeavor many of these will not be
reached. To send supplies, then, is the immedi
ate business of the hour.
Fortunately, the change in conditions of
j .ocean traffic will permit the tapping of great
j stores of food held in the Antipodes, in South
j American, and other lands where it has been
! unavailable because of lack of shipping. But
this will not be enough, nor can it be reached
early enough to meet the emergency. America
must provide at once for the wants of Europe.
This naturally entails on our people a con
tinuation of the food conservation program to
which we have become accustomed. Just as we
gave last winter to feed Belgium, Holland,
Switzerland, Spain and the Scandinavian coun
tries, while aiding our Allies to keep up their
war effort, so must we give now that starvation
will not complete the work the war begun. Un
til another crop can be sown and harvested in
Europe its population must be fed by the world
outside, and the greater share of this duty will
fall on the United States. y
When the food crisis is passed we can take
up the other details of the work of restoration
there.
TODAY
Right in the Spotlight.
The 80th birthday of Joseph
F. Smith will be celebrated today
by members of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-Day Saints, com
monly known as the Mormon
church, of which he is the president.
President Smith is the nephew of
the Joseph Smith who founded the
church. Was born in the village of
Far West, Mo., in 1838, he was but
10 years of age when the great Mor
mon exodus to the Salt Lake valley
took place. The youth drove an ox
team in the long journey across 1' e
plains and for some years after ar
riving at Salt Lake he worked as a
mannal laborer. Then he went to
the Sandwich islands as a mission
ary, returning in 1858 to become a
member of the High council.
Further work as a missionary in
Europe and other partswas follow
ed in 1866 by hi ordination as an
apostle. In 1880 he reached the
post of second counselor of the
church and in 1901, following the
death of Lorenzo Snow, he was
chosen to the presidency.
Founding a German Republic.
Herr Schiedeman has, according to reports
from Berlin, declared the German republic from
the steps of the Reichstag building. In general
terms, the overthrow of the empire has been
made complete and a new. government set up.
For the present this is essentially socialist, as
that party already had the organized machinery
of government to seize and exercise control.
It is also reported that an agreement has been
reached between the moderates and extremists,
intended to insure the world against a repetition
of the bolshevik excesses such as occurred in
Russia. In some way the proceedings remind
us of what took place in Paris in 1871, although
as yet there has been no conflict between the
"Commune" and the National Guard, such as
marked the transition in France. That the dis
orderly and criminal element does exist in Ger
many is admitted, and the new government will
chieve much if it can maintain order without
calling on the conquering armies of the Allies
to assist in putting down and quieting the tur
bulent. Also, it may be questioned if in
Schiedeman, Liebknecht, Ebert and their kind
will be found a group of patriotic statesmen
comparable to Thiers, Gambetta, Favre and
their associates, who so successfully founded
and fostered the French republic. The German
people are really on trial now, and as they be
have so will they establish themselves before
the world.

istry in France.

In Omaha 30 Years Ago Today.
Secretary Nattinger of the Board
of Trade left for Chicago to reprc
sent the city at the meeting of the
convention for the boards of trade.
A petition signed by fifty citizens
was submitted to the council pray-
America at the Peace Table.
Very soon the world will witness the most
momentous gathering of nations in its history.
Around the peace table will assemble represen
tatives of all the governments of the world, to
determine" the future of civilized life and na
tional existence. Lessons taught by the war
will be crystallized into binding agreements and
given the validity of treaties to be supported by
the moral and physical force and power of the
nations. Our president has never indicated his
choice for the American delegation. It is but
natural that he will want to be present himself,
but whether he will break the tradition, as he
has others, that has prevented the president
from leaving the country during his term of
office may not now be answered. The delega
tion should include our ablest men. In this the
president has an opportunity to redeem a funda
mental mistake of his policy and permit repub
licans to share in the great work. In this con
nection the names of Elihu Root, Henry Cabot
Lodge and other great Americans naturally
come to mind. The democratic party, too, has
its able men, and it should be possible to make
up a delegation that will represent the nation
and not a political party. Samuel Gompers will
undoubtedly be one of the group, and others
might be suggested, but the decision is with the
president, whose selections will be awaited with
interest. '
Harsh Terms Justified.
Dr. Solf, German foreign secretary, promptly
approaches President Wilson with a request
that the conditions of the armistice be "miti
gated." This was to have been expected. The
nation that endorsed and boasted of Bismarck's
perfidy in 1870, when he deliberately destroyed
a dispatch that would have preserved peace and
substituted one that forced a war; that has
gloried in the terms he dictated to conquered
France, and has lived since then to enforce
those terms, could scarcely be expected to abide
the application of justice.
The conditions of the armistice are not in
tended to crush Germany; they are designed to
protect the world outside. Only with a dis
armed and impotent Germany can the world
feel secure. To plead in the name of the Ger
man people at this time is to remind the world
that these same people gave their sanction to
the treaties of Brest-Litovsk and Bucharest;
that they shared in the loot of Belgium, of
"France, of Italy and of other countries where
the Hun came into control. Not alone the ap
propriation of property for military uses, but
wholesale despoliation scientifically carried on
under direction of government experts and sup
plemented by private theft, this climaxed by
the wanton destruction of everything that en
tered into the home life of the people in occu
pied territory. AH, this done with premedita
tion, careful deliberation and diabolical thor
oughness. "With what measure ye mete it shall be
meted out again unto ye" was notspoken in
vain. Germany is not to be looted, as were its
victims, but will be required to make restitution
and reparation. The Hun showed no mercy,
and now will receive only justice.

Storyette of the Day.
"France's success in this war,"
said Gen. Oscar L. Standish of Sn
Francisco, "has been due in great
measure to the readiness of her
come-back. No matter how hard
Germany has hit her, France has
always returned the blow with speed
and vigor.
"France, . in fact, has been as
ready as the young fellow who pro
posed to the school teacher. The
school teacher said to him scorn
fully: ,
"'Do you suppose, Mr. Doolittle,
that I'd ever marry a man so be
nighted as to carry a great big horse
shoe in his pocket for luck?'
"Doolittle paled. Then, recovering
himself quietly, he gave a loud
laugh, took out his horseshoe, laid
it on his knee, patted it and said
gayly: ."
" 'Well old fellow, I guess no
body'U ever doubt your efficacy after
this!'"! San Francisco Bulletin.
The Capture of Sedan
New York Times. ,
France is much beloved of us, and the
Tricolor stirs the blood of Americans. We shall
always honor the name of Lafayette, and our
gratitude for the, aid of France in the dark days
when the young' republic was fighting its way
into the light will never die. It has fallen to
troops of the United States under Pershing to
be the first to enter Sedan in the great offensive
of the western allies before which the Germans
have been retreating to their frontier, leaving
thousands of prisoners and great spoil 'of guns
in the hands of the French, British, Belgians,
Americans, one of the most disastrous retire
ments in history.
It seems only the other day that Pershing
stood at the erave of the Frenchman so be
loved of Washington, and spoke those words
that will always be memorable: "We have
come, Lafayette!" For 48 years "revanche" for
the woe they suffered at Sedan has been written
on the hearts of Frenchmen. The word has
been a synonym for the defeat, humiliation, and
abasement that the Germans inflicted upon a
proud nation in the war of 1870. Who could
nave dreamed in all the intervening years of
waiting and forbearance that it would not be
the Tricolor, but the Stars and Srtipes of the
ally of the American revolution which the eyes
of Frenchmen living in Sedan would see stream
ing in victorious battle above their town in the
war that was to settle the long score with Ger
many? To Americans as well as Frenchmen
what a thrill there is in the news contained in
Mr. James' dispatch to the Times:
'In the First army's remarkable six days ad
vance of 40 kilometers it not only liberated 100
French villages and several thousand civilians,
but also captured the city of Sedan, liberating
5,000 French folk. It also cut the main German
railroad system of communication from the
western front through Luxemburg. Moreover,
the Americans have driven the German Fifth
and Third armies, which were holding the pivot
of the whole front, in full retreat."
To the mind of every American soldier so
fortunate as to take part in the glorious entry
into Sedan must have occurred the contrast be
tween the rout of the Germans, which he was
witnessing, and their arrogant triumph in those
days of August, 1870, so somber for France. By
forced marches the Third and Fourth German
armies had taken positions between Metz,
where Bazaine was shut up, and Chalons, and
the Germans had pressed MacMahon's army
back toward the Belgian frontier, foiling his at
tempt to rel'eve Bazaine. Defeated in several
days of fierce fighting, MacMahon decided to
make a stand at Sedan, then a fortress, and he
occupied the heights surrounding it on the west,
north and east. The Germans, outnumbering
the French two to one. encircled MacMahon's
army. Battle was joined on September 1, Wurt
temberg troops blocking a French retreat upon
Mezieres, and the Bavarians, Saxons, Prussians,
and the King's Guard attacking the whole
French line. Few battles have been so brief
and decisive. After carrying the village of
Bazeilles the Germans brought their heavy ar
tillery, 500 guns, to the heights above Sedan
and began to bombard the town, to which the
French had fallen back. On the second day
Napoleon III, who was with the ill-starred
French army, raised the white flag. Two thou
sand, nine hundred officers and 83,000 men laid
down their arms; the French emperor became
a prisoner, and with this disaster the second
empire fell.
There is no fortress of Sedan to surrender
today. A residential and indusrtial place now,
it is to be hoped that the retreating Germans
have spared its churches, the college, museum
and the remains of the castle of the 15th cen
tury. The battle for Sedan by the Americans
began, it may be said, on September 26. and in
an advance of 34 miles the fighting has been of
a desperate character. For sentimental as well
as for strategic reasons the Germans have
fought -hard to keep the enemy from across the
sea out of Sedan. Lines of communication be
tween Metz and Belgium have been cut by the
American victory, which must have cost the
Germans far greater losses than the trench suf
fered in the Chalons-Sedan campaign.
s Sedan now means to Germany a disaster that
has eclipsed the triumph of 1870. Americans,
who were supposed to be impotent to transport
armies across the Atlantic, have been the in
struments of the revenge for which the French
had longed. ,

of The Bee: If l had the self
esteem held by the South Side cor
respondent who took to himself the
glory of influencing congress to the
extent of repealing the daylight sav
ing law I might with equal Justifica
tion claim the responsibility for the
republican landslide in Nebraska,
for did I not jn two occasions in
The Bee Letter Box call upon the
public to tarn out the IneflVient
democratic office seekers and office
holders because they had no other
instinct than that of creating new
offices for the faithful and reckless
expenditure of public funds?
The scheme of the democrats to
brand criticism as unpatriotic was
expected to aid materially In keep
ing them in office, but their work
was too coarse and the people si
lently and effectively criticized with
the ballot.
Now that the republicans are
again dominating national affairs, it
will be safe for any American citizen
to express honest critlrlsm without

late political campaign by the dem

quintessence of damphoolishness.

Christmas Gifts for Soldiers '
When our government's device of "Christ
mas coupons," one of which was to be sent
home by each soldier abroad to the relative or
friend he might select for the privilege of send
ing him a seasonable gift, was announced the
plan was viewed with resignation, if not exactly
with favor. That is because it was recognized
that, if all of us who could and would send
Christmas presents to the men in France were
allowed to do so, the carrying of the packages
would take up far more ship space than possibly
could now be devoted to other than strictly
necessary transportation. With the passage of
time, however, resignation to a justifiable re
striction has given plade in many instances to a
feeling much like irritation.
On the other hand, the men across the water
are writing home two things first, that most
of them find it difficult, and those engaged in
active operations almost impossible, to over
come the many obstacles to getting the coupons
from their superior officers, and, second, that
not a few of those who could conquer those ob
stacles are embarrassed when it comes to choos
ing the recipient of the coupons. This embar
rassment has two sources the invidiousness of
a selection among several persons about equally
entitled by love or friendship to be thus favored
and the delicacy that forbids the making what
seems like a demand for a present from any
body. So, in not a few instances the soldiers have
decided not to try to get the coupons.
Here there is growing up the impression that
this determination is just the one the military
and shipping authorities like best and the one
they tried to bring about. Hence the irritation
to which reference has been made, and it is to
the indirection by which the desired end in con
siderable measure has been reached rather than
to the reching of the end. If we had all been
told that in the existing conditions it would be
inexpedient and more than inconvenient to -ship
even 2,000,000 small Christmas packages from
the United States to France, the reasonableness
of the statement would have been recognized
at once, and nobody would have done any more
about the matter than sigh, as so many times
before, that "war is war. The providing of a
way that wasn't a way was different and fret
ting. New York Times.
- Super-Piracy of Huns
Even if it stood by itself on the records of
these wartimes, the case of the Norwegian bark
Stifinder and its abandoned crew would be suffi
cient to convict German frightfulness of outdo
ing piracy in point of ruthlessness. Such is the
conclusion one must reach who reads the plain
story of the bark's crew who have just reached
New York after long days and nights of tortur
ing, heart-breaking struggles in an open life
boat. There were 17 men on the Stifinder'when it
left New York, bound for Australia September
26. They took to two boats October 13, when
a German submarine first looted and then sank
the bark. They were a thousand miles from
the nearest shore. The brigands of the sea
turned their backs and sailed away. Seven vic
tims of this barbarity are still to be heard from
or never to be heard from. Ten are in this
port with their pitiful tale of 15 days of hunger,
of ceaseless, blistering toil at the oars.
No crew with any prompting of human de
cency would have treated even a militant enemy
as that U-boat 'gang treated the men of the Sti-.
finder. That these suffering Norwegians were
not foes at all, but sailors of a neutral nation
is a fact' aggravating the German offense not
against humanity alone, but world-laws of bel
ligerency. New York World,
