THE BEE'S SERVICE FLAG
Omaha is doing nicely on the war work
drive; keep it up.
, Real wheat flour is now at the disposal of
American consumers, but moderation should
continue to rule.
It will take considerable nerve in the future
to ask three, prices for an ordinary nonessential
because of the war, -
I Great are the people, the source of all earthly
power, even in Germany since the firm of Me
und Gott quit business.
Keep The Bee's shoe fund in mind; this is
for relief of needy little ones right here at home
and deserves attention.
Mr. McAdoo proposes to, cut the excess fare
charged on certain limited trains. This is an
other sign that the war is ended.
The interallied food council proposes to de
horn the American meat trust. Go to it; here
will be a battle worth watching.
' Up to date the soldier vote has changed no
result in Nebraska, but some of the defeated
ttill hold on till the last ballot is in.
. The reappearance of the sugar bowl on the
table in the eating places of the country will be
accepted as proof that the war really is over.
An authority on farm implements advises
retail dealers not to overstock, pending read
justment of prices. His advice will be pondered
by all lines.
The Omaha Hyphenated disposes of Gen
eral Pershing as possible candidate for presi
dent in 1920, but whether its action will afford
better gas for the boom of its owner is not
plain.
Officially the losses to American forces in
killed, wounded and missing ate set at less than
100,000. It will be found that the "flu" had more
victims among men in camp than died in battle
abroad.
' The British government just now gives out
a' story of the sinking of the dreadnaught Au
dacious in 1914. This was published in America
in 1914, but official confirmation of the fact is
grateful, evin now, '
Foch and Joffre each has received a distin
guished service medal and congratulations from
the United states. And well bestowed they
are, for nobler warriors or truer patriots never
were honored by the world.
Waiters in several big New York hotels have
gone on strike, setting up as a cause the mea
gerness of tips. Sojourners in Gotham who
have experienced the rapacity of the "tip" col
lectors will rejoice at the prospect here disclosed.
Mr. Wilson is considering legislation needed
to restore the land to a peace basis. If the
democrats could have allowed the Weeks reso
lution to pass valuable data, would now be in the
hanCs of the executive, who is moving entirely
without regard to congress.
A Chicago judge has decided that a man
ha no right to open his wife's letters, even
when he has cause for suspicion. This not only
more firmly establishes woman's independence,
but opens a new vista in the line of domestic
relations. Its possibilities are endless.
Our democratic brethren are worrying them
selves into a fever for fear the republicans will
make mistakes when they take over the govern
ment. This solicitude is charming but the
probabilities are it is insincere. Only monu
mental blunders by the republicans will ever
restore democrats to power, you know.
Time to Be Stern and Strong
Lest we become mushy toward the Ger
maqs, now that they are near the end of their
String and soon to be dealt with by their con
querors, it is well to keep in mind what the
frame of mind of the Huns has been during
their forced retreat from Belgium and France.
Typical of what German soldiers did in the
homes of those whose country they had brutally
invaded and laid waste, a single paragraph writ
ten by the late Don Martin, a careful and pains-
taking American newspaperman, in aescnoing
the vandalism committed in one house, should be
jnough. Here it is:
"Tore a Teddy bear in two; pulled arms and
' legs from large dolls; smashed a doll cradle and
generally wrecked a child's nursery."
In this house the vandals also smashed mar
ble clocks, tore valuable books to bits, broke
the keys of a costly piano, slashed oil paintings,
tapestries and lace curtains to ribbons, hurled
: ink on walls, shivered chinaware and art vases
and wrecked mirrors, beds and dressers.
Wanton destruction of this kind, committed
in the worst of animal frenzies, marks every
part of the occupied territory from which the
Germans were forced by their betters' to flee.
' These are the armies, these the men, who now
rAm. rrinffin tn th virtors fnr Irrmt. What
normal human being has now a tender spot in
his heart for them? Who can imagine a Foch,
a Haig or a Pershing interceding for gentleness
toward them or disposed to visit upon them a
whit less punishment than they richly deserve?
Minneapolis Tribune
BASIS FOR PERMANENT PEACE.
Lloyd George warns voters of the United
Kingdom that they have more to dread from
reaction than from bolshevism. The peace the
world has longed for must be founded on jus
tice, and not on revenge. Seeds for a future
war, no matter how long postponed, must not
be sown by the peace council. These senti
ments will bt echoed in America. It was the
ideal of justice for all nations, large or small,
for the weakest aswell as the strongest, that
led us into the war. Unless this ideal can be.
realized in the settlement on which readjust
ment is made, theft the great sacrifice has been
wasted effort.
Overturning outworn forms of government,
unhorsing autocracy and disposing of heredi
tary rulers does not comprise the entire program
of democracy. These are but details, the clear
ing away of rubbish from the new path into
which the world is turning. Other forms of
social injustice and inequality remain and must
be dealt with.
The conception of the square deal has been
uppermost in American minds for many years,
and it must be realized. To its application all
must unite, with the same fervor that all joined
in making it possible to have such an oppor
tunity throughout the world. Only on such a
basis is peace abroad and tranquility at home
possible.
Where to Hold the Council.
Steps preliminary to the holding of the peace
council are already being taken. British,
French and Italian premiers will -shortly con
sult at Paris over some details that must be
arranged in advance, This all brings up in an
interesting way the makeup of the American
delegation as well as the location of the coun
cil's meeting place. Sentiment abroad is re
ported to be much in favor of having President
Wilson as head of the American delegation. At
Washington it has been announced that while
the American representatives will be selected
with due re'gard for their ability and representa
tive qualities, some opposition has arisen to the
proposal that the president' leave the country.
This rests on the belief that the executive should
be continually present during the reconstruc
tion time.
. President Wilson's presence at the council
easily may be secured by the very simple ex
pedient of holding it in the United States. No
really good reason exists why this cannot be
done. The Hague has been suggested on the
sentimental ground that the Peace Palace al
ready exists there. Lausanne, Versailles, Paris,
London and Constantinople are other localities
proposed as the meeting place. None of these
offers anything that cannot be matched by the
United States. Washington has had a tremen
dous influence in deciding the outcome of the
war, and might well be the scene of the gather
ing that will fix peace agreements.
Our government is in position to invite the
nations of the earth to gather here for the most
wonderful conclave ever held. Let us have the
meeting, and- let future generations refer to the
Washington convention as one of the world's
great monument,!
New Life in Germany.
The socialists have completed their organi
zation for the general government of Germany,
and now must rpovide for details of manage
ment. Some obus difficulties confront those
who are provisiol ally in control, but these nor
mally should be far less than were presented to
the Russian patriots, who sought to save their
land from ruin. Greatest of all factors in favor
of Herr Ebert and his associates is the phleg
matic character of the German. If his creature
wants can be provided for he will he more pa
tient while steps are taken for relieving his po
litical needs.
Another advantage is that through the close
organization of the socialist party and the co
operation of the labor unions, machinery is al
ready at hand to perform the ordinary adminis
trative functions of government. How well this
may be adapted to the emergency is to be de
veloped. For the present it has worked quite
well, because it has enabled the party suddenly
placed in power to form a cabinet which will
have a legal show of right through its affilia
tion with the Reichstag. Its real strain, will
come with the return of the soldiers, some of
whom already show the taint of extreme bol
shevism. However, it is plain to even these that the
relief they must have from outside only can
come to them when they are well behaved, and
this fact may operate to hold in check any who
might be inclined to turbulence and disorder.
It is reasonable, then, to think that Germany
will escape most of what took place in Russia,
but the danger point has not been passed.
, On Behalf of the Homeless Man.
The local food administrator announces the
use of wheat flour is for the present to be re
stricted to homes only, and that public eating
places will not be permitted to serve the un
mixed flour nor to increase the allowance of
bread to customers. This ruling puts the man
without a home at a distinct disadvantage.
While Omaha is a city of homes, it yet has a
very large proportion of population made up of
those who eat at restaurants, hotels and other
public eating houses. These have felt the food
restrictions far more severely than at the homes.
Householders have not been lacking in patri
otism in observing all the requirements of the
food administrator, but they have been able to
use the substitutes to greater advantage, and so
have avoided stinting themselves or their fami
lies unduly. The folks who "dine out" have
met the patriotic impulse on one hand, the
profiteering propensity on the other; they have
had to endure increased prices and reduced por
tions, and were forced to make the best of it.
The caterer found ,it to his personal interest
strictly to enforce all the Hoover rales, and did
so to the limit Now that these rules are be
ginning to relax, consideration should be given
the man who sits on a stool while he eats his
patriotism is unquestioned, even though he has
not a home to go to, and his hunger is equally
undeniable. Give him a share with the others.
A German cannon for the court house lawn
will be. a good thing, and particularly so if it
happen to be one taken by Nebraska boys. If
the city gets one, though, it will be in luck, for
the probabilities are that most of them will be
made over into structural steel to be used in
restoring France and Belgium,

Right in the Spotlight
The suggestion that the Hon. Wil
liam Arthur Holman, premier of
New South Wales, will enter Brit
ish politics is interesting. Mr. Hol
man is one of the ablest of Aus
tralia's statesmen. He was born in
London, and was to have been a
cabinet maker not in the political
sense but he went to Australia,
took to journalism and the bar, and
so found his way into public life.
In 1901 he was elected a member of
the legislative assembly for New
South Wales, and 10 years later be
came attorney general. In 1914 he
became premier of New South
Wales and leader of the labor
party. Since the commencement of
the war he has been active in the in
terest of the allied cause. Last year
he visited the front and narrowly
escaped a German shell which killed
his companion.

Storyette of the Day.
Three days on the western front
had been quiet, with only an occa
sional shell coming over from
"Fritz."
On the fourth day a new draft
came. Among them was a young
man named Simpkins, who was a
professional ventriloquist; he
amused the men and kept up their
spirits.
At about S o'clock that afternoon
the Germans came over to pay a
little visit, but when they got within
50 feet of the allied trench the com
mand was given in German to re
treat The men looked at each other and
then at Simpkins, who Vas roaring
with laughter. At last he said. "The
poor fools, I ordered 'em back."

When Pershing Comes Home
Plans are already a-foot in New York City
to give General Pershing a welcome on his ar
rival home that will live in the annals of, the
nation. While the subject has been only tenta
tively discussed, and while nothing definite can
be decided upon until the probable time for the
return of the American commander is an
nounced, it is already assured that the welcome
will be a rousing affair in which the entire coun
try will participate." -
The reception awaiting General Pershing
will recall the welcomes to Gen. Ulysses S.
Grant on his return from a tour of the world in
1879, to Admiral George Dewey on his return
from Manila bay, in September, 1899, and to
Col. Theodore Roosevelt on his arrival home
from his African trip.
General Grant and Admiral Dewey were
given greetings marked with patriotic enthusi
asm such as belong to distinguished men whose
achievements were on the battlefield, while that
to Colonel Roosevelt was largely a tribute trom
political adherents and admirers.
General Grant, on his return from his tri
umphant tour of the world in 1879, the year fol
lowing his retirement from the presidency of
the United States, reached San Francisco from
Yokohama on September 20. In his honor was
given the biggest naval parade in San Fran
cisco's history. As it passed in review cannons
in the harbor torts boomed a salute of i guns.
From the wharf to his hotel the distinguished
ex-president and soldier was driven in an open
carriage and was greeted by thousands of en
thusiastic San Franciscans who lined the way.
That night a parade was given in his honor and
the city was illuminated and fireworks were'set
off. From a stand in front of his hotel General
Grant made a brief speech of thanks.
On his journey east with Mrs. Grant he was
given banquets and receptions and greeted with
every manifestation of enthusiasm in the differ
ent cities in which he stopped. The journey
was interrupted by a visit of several weeks to
his old home in Galena, 111.
Returning from his memorable victory over
the Spanish fleet at Manila bay, Admiral Dewey
reached American waters on September 26, 1899,
with the flagship Olympia. The next day the
Olympia dropped anchor off Tompkinsville and
Admiral Dewey was welcomed on board by Mr.
Roosevelt, then governor of New York, on be
half of the people of the state. He was next
greeted by a committee of city officials and citi
zens, who outlined the reception in his honor.
Mayor Van Wyck visited Admiral Dewey on
the Olympia the next day.
The Dewey celebration lasted two days. On
Friday, September 29, a grand naval pageant,
consisting of war vessels, merchant marine and
private yachts, was held, and on Saturday there
was a land parade. The program on Saturday
began at 7 o'clock, when a reception committee
visited Admiral Dewey on board the Olymp;a.
The admiral was landed at the Battery at 8
o'clock, and there was met by another commit
tee and a guard of honor, consisting of a squad
ron of mounted policemen. He was escorted
to the city hall, and there received a loving cup,
the gift of the city. The admiral next visited
Grant's tomb on board the steamer Sandy Hook,
and later luncheon for 500 guests was served on
board the vessel.
The land parade followed at 1 o'clock. After
passing through the Dewey arch at the north
entrance of Fifth avenue and Washington
Square, which was erected to commemorate the
victory at Manila bay, the admiral reviewed the
parade from a reviewing stand at Madison
Square. There were in line 32,800 marchers,
consisting of soldiers, sailors, militiamen and
civic organizations. Other features of the cel
ebration consisted of night pageants on Friday
and Saturday nights, the harbor, North and
East rivers, for miles being illuminated, to
gether with magnificent pyrotechnic displays
on land and water.
' Guilt Is Personal
Chicago Tribune.
British intelligence officers have announced
complete indictments against several hundred
German officers, from generals down, against
whom there seems to lie unescapable evidence
of atrocious acts. Those who have felt that to
place the guilt for heinous misdeeds would be
an impossible task, and that German horror
would go unpunished through inability to single
out the criminals in the great mass of war set
tlement, may be reassured. The! allies have not
forgotten; and while their armies have been
prosecuting warfare in the field the civil instru
ments of justice have been likewise alert.
President Wilson will find ready acceptance
of his pronouncement that "we have no quarrel
with the German people" when it comes time
for allied action on the charges against the
German officers accused of unnamable offenses.
While many may not agree with the president
that the German people have been thrust into
warfare against their better judgments, they will
quickly rgree that the junkers are responsible
for their share of it and take comfort in the
prospect that the murderers of women and
children will suffer proper penalty for their mis
deeds. It would be difficult to select from the
mass of the German people those to be hanged.
But the British have simplified the process of
picking out the right junkers. The president
can easily accept his own version that the mili
tary cate is responsible and amenable to justice.
- In his attitude toward the prosecution of the
trusts Mr. Wilson uttered the phrase, "guilt is
personal." The list of guilty German officers
gives the president further reason for sustaining
British action against them with his own ex
pressed doctrine. It is possible for the presi
dent to join in a demand for personal punish
ment aside from whatever general demands may
be made for the political resurrection of . the
German people.
Tancrede Matel has published in Paris a book
in which he presents the case against German
general officers. In this "Who's Who of
Atrocity" there are 573 Germans named, to
gether with the specific crimes alleged. For ex
ample: Von Hindenburg Ordered bread soaked in
paraffin for Russian prisoners.
Von Mackensen Ordered 1,000 Roumanian
children shot "because they had conspired
against him."
Rupprecht Massacred and hanged Russian
civilians. Ordered deportations from Lille,
Roubaix, and Tourcoing.
Von Schubert Caused 31 girls to be car
ried off as "orderlies" to his officers.
Von Bulow Posted this notice in Ardennes:
"Ten hostages will be taken in each street. If
there is any disturbance in the street all
hostages will be shot."
Klauss Sixty civilians in Gerbeviller shot;
Red Cross worker burned in petroleum.
Stenger Ordered fcll prisoners shot
Von Dreicht When drunk ordered 117
civilians shot.
Prince Eitel Friedrich Confirmed thief.
These are merely instances. In each of these
cases as in all the remainder of the 573, the ac
cusations are many and detailed. Here have
been set down some of the more conspicuous.
In Prince Eitel's case there is direct evidence of
numerous thefts of small things, including fur
niture and household goods.
Delivery of these men over to the military
authorities and the execution of swift justice
upon them will have a mighty influence on the
future of warfare and may cause future warriors
to respect the conventions of conflict if no
other good is achieved.

I Governors on the Rim.
From New Yfcrk to Nebraska inclusive every
new governor-elect is reported scooting for tall
timber to escape the frontal attacks of job
seekers. The number eager to serve their coun
try equals former peace time rushes, indicating
a host of hustlers untouched or inconvenienced
by former draft calls.' Besides, the great prob
lems of reconstruction soon to be solved stirs
in patriotic souls an eagerness for servcie only
equaled by (he size of the salary.
Abuse of Free Transportation.
Nebraska City, Neb., Nov. 12. To
the Editor of The Bee: In today's
Bee appeared a timely article on the
"Plethora of Passes." in which ex
ception was taken to the granting of
passes to others than ttie railroad
men themselves.
This is well and irood, but does
not go far enough. There is no rea
son why railroad men should receive
transportation in large or small
quantities as a bonus. They are al
ready paid as well, if not better, as
any other class of labor. It is true
that the "dead heads" do not neces
sitate the, use of additional equip
ment for their accomodation in-as-much
as their riding is distributed
over large areas and occurs at
diverse times; but a "free" rider
shirks his portion of the cost of fur
nishing transportation and shifts It
to other shoulders. You and I,
friend reader, are paying transporta
tion for railroad men who are per
haps paid for more than we.
In fairness to us all a sharp line
should be drawn between "official
business riding and personal trips,
Just as in the postal department the
employes can use "penalty" en
velopes for postefflce mail only.
If we must give railway employes
a bonus to keep them from striking,
let us also give free postage to pos
tal clerks, free groceries to grocery
clerks, free fare to all United States
employes, free coal to coal miners
ad lib. ad inf. i
It would be pleasant and instruc
tive to hear from railway men on
this question.
Why should rai'road men be al
lowed to shoulder their share of the
cost of transportation onto some one
else? It is not a question of
amounts, but one of principle.

Jerry Wants to Know.
Omaha, Nov. 13. To the Editor
of The Bee: "Two Days Pay" is the
campaign slogan of the united war
drive. It is a call to duty and those
who give closest heed to the sum
mons will have the fewest reasons
for regret and apology hereafter.
However, as a horny-handed-son-of-toil,
who has given to this war drive
more than three days pay, I am
curious to know what proportion of
the enormous dividends of the
profiteers would equal two days pay?
Please give the desired information.

Official Inquiry into the cause of
the explosion which wrecked the
New Jersey powder plant of the Gil
lespie T. N. T. company, which de
stroyed $10,000,000 worth of prop
erty and 64 lives, reveals amazing
carelessness. Up to the hour of tne
disaster smoking was permitted In
all buildings except In the magazine
section. Since then smoking and
carrying matches are forbidden. One
of the surviving foremen testified
that In the storehouse he "discovered
an Italian with a match in his mouth
during the process of loading. I
took his number. In another build
ing I asked if anybody could give
me a match. One man gave me two
blueheaded matches. I reported
both men.. At another time I found
a match on the floor. No search for
matches was made in the store
houses." No wonder the plant got
what carelessness decrees.
Count Michael Karolyi, leader of
the revolution In Hungary, visited
the United States in the early sum
mer of 1914 and remained here until
the outbreak of the war. As a mis
sionary for the anti-imperial party
the count passed the hat for funds
to continue the fight "for complete
independence of the Magyar king
dom from Austria." On his return
to Europe he was Interned in France
as a prisoner of war, but eventually
secured his release and returned to
Budapest.
The British admiralty has pub
lished the names of the commanders
of the 150 German submarines which
the British navy has disposed of.
Of these men 116 are dead, 27 pris
oners, six interned in neutral coun
tries and one escaped to Germany.
The dead Include Capt. Lieut.
Schwelger, who sank the Lusitanla;
Schneider, who sank the Arabic, and
Wagenfuhr, who lined up on his
deck 40 survivors from the Belgian
Prince and then submerged, leaving
the unfortunates to drown. Wagen
fuhr's boat was sunk a fortnight
later with all hands.

Acid-Stomach EMes
Millions Old Before

What Is It that robs so many people
of their vitality, youth and good looks
makes them all in and decrepit,
years before their time? Some ssy
it's rheumatism that is ailing them.
Others complain of chronic stomach
or liver trouble Others are bilious.
Life is a burden to multitudes of
dyspeptics. Severe headache, extreme
nervousness, insomnia, mental depres
sion, melancholia, anemia, dizziness,
vertigo, heart and cheat pains, con
stipation, etc., claim other multitudes.
Sometimes these people are down
right aick. More frequently they are
just weak, sickly and unfit, not
knowing exactly what is the matter
with them. Nearly always they resort
to medicines of one kind or another
in the hop of retting back their
health and strength. And nearly al
ways they are disappointed, because
medicines don't build strength unless
they set the etomacti free from acidi
ty, allowing it to take full strength
out of the food eaten.
. What la It that causes teeth to de
eayT Dentists say add mouth that
the acid formed by the fermentation
of small particles of food lodged in
the teeth ie powerful enough to eat
right through the hard enamel. An
acid-stomach presents a similar con
dition. Excess acid retards digestion.
Food In th stomach sours and fer
ments, esusing pain. Gasses affect the
heart action. The Intestines become
th. breeding; place for countless mil
lions of deadly germs or toxic poisons.
These poisons are carried by the blood,
into every part of the system. Th.
famous scientist, Metchnikoff, said
if the system could be kept free from
these toxic germs, people might easily
live a hundred years or more.
The only safe thing to do is to rid
the stomach of its excess acid at once.
A way has been found in the won
derful preparation, called EATONIC
a compressed compound that absorbs
the excess acid and carries it away
through the bowela. Thousands upon
thousands now know of EATONIC
and ita amazing power to clean out
the excess acid and leaves ,the stom
ach sweet, cool and strong giving it
a chance to properly digest food so
that you get full strength of what
you eat and in thia way help Nature
build up vigorous health, strength
and vitality to take th. place in a few
days, of sickness, lassitude, weak
ness. EATONIC U worth year trial. t.
