President and Peace Meeting - if here has long been talk of the possibility .bf the president's going to the peace conference. The matter has now reached the stage where it is under serious consideration at Washington. Mr. Wilson's personal opinion is understood to be adverse to the project This is easy to un derstand. There would be grave practical diffi culties in the president's absenting himself from - the country for any length of time.- And the peace conference is apt to prove a prolonged affair. Indeed, the strong probability is that it will not be able to comolete the huee work be fore it in plenary sessions, but will have to ap-' point commissions to study details, perhaps to take charge of particular labors of admimstra- - tion, for the timebeing, and later to report back. Jf it were a question merely of the president's being away for a few weeks there could be no conclusive objection to his accepting an invita tion to preside at the peace conference. But if it involved months of absence the argument would run heavily against his going. The af- . fairs of government here could not so well be conducted bv cable as could the American part of -the negotiations at the peace .conference. And. - even the president is not present in body, his spirit will be there and dominant. This is per fectly understood in Europe. The allies have already bound themselves to make peace, on the feneral terms which Mr. Wilson has laid down, t is not necessary for him to go to sign them in person. The written signatures, whatever -they are, can never make "the historian forget , the great part played by the president of the Uaited States.-New .York Post ' , LISTEN TO LINCOLN. ' On this anniversary of the delivery of Lin coln's Immortal address at Gettysburg it will be well to review the advice he then, gave his coun trymen. While intended for the great ques tions that then vexed the nation, that address contains thoughts that may apply to the present condition. To bind up the wounds of war, to carry forward the work of the soldiers in estab lishing liberty, is just as important now as hen. It was to this task Lincoln adjured the livingto dedicate themselves, that the dead might not have died in vain. A similar task confronts us, and the world, and the future demands the de votion of our utmost endeavor for the right. No selfish cause or class interest must be per mitted to turn the current of victory into priv ilege for a few. Forbearance is required of all, but not to the point where any will forfeit full share in the great opportunity that is now open ing for everybody. Old things are cast aside along with old ways, but the new must not be distorted or Jwisted into special application for the advantage of cfass, above or below, or in the middle. A square deal, a fair chance for every body, anj "government of the people, for the people and by the people shall not perish from the earth." End of Germany's Sea Power. How completely Germany is beaten is illus trated by the surrender of its navy. In, no other way could this be made so clear, even to the Germans themselves. Von Hindenburg and the great army laid down arms and started for home, defeated in battle and rendered harmless in surrender. They had fought for four years, with stubbornness and skill, only to be overcome at last by a jetter directed force. All this time the navy, on which so much thought and money have been lavished, the great instrument by which England was to be stricken and brought to subjection, remained inactive behind the har bor defenses at either end of the Kiel canal. The Dresden, the Emden, the Scharnhorst, the Gueisenau the Eitel Friederich and one or two other cruisers' played havoc with commerce for a short time on the high seas, but soon were hunted down. A sortie, terminating in the bat tle of Jutland, in which the Germans were sorely defeated, comprises the activity of the great navy on which the kaiser rested one col umn of his triumphal arch. Its inglorious end ing is accentuated by the scourge of the U-boat, set upon the world to bring about a victory in which terror should be the deciding factor. No color in all the kaiser's rainbow dream has twrned a more vivid yellow than that of his navy. Good Roads for Nebraska. Good roads ought to mean roads that are serviceable 365 days in a year, arjd such roads can only be had through careful construction. The Bee has preached this doctrine for many years, and still believes it. In Nebraska large sums of money are wasted every year in repair ing roads that are not more than 50 per cent serviceable. Ordinary highway construction does not produce permanence, and is costly even at its best, for too much power is needed to haul loads over it. All this is well known to everyone who has given the matter serious at tention. The state authorities sanction a standard road to be constructed of a mixture of sand and clay, because the material is cheap and plenti ful and permits of easy manipulation. This was brought out as a makeshift to enable the state to get in under the federal good roads law. It may comply with the letter, but hardly will ful fill the spirit of that law, for it is far from demonstrated that such a, road is a "good" one, even in the ordinary acceptance of the term. Farmers of Nebraska are: the greater users of the highways of the state; they save or waste according to the service they get from the roads they build to maintain. For many years they have paid from twice to three times as much as they should for hauling their produce to market and their supplies back to the farm. In this regard they are not progressive. The question of good roads will be presented to the coming legislature in a practical way; it will deservemore attention than was accorded it by the last assembly, when it was given simply the consideration that would avert loss of the federal contribution to the construction fund. Members of the next legislature will serve both themselves and ihe state if they will now make even a cursory examination of the problem and be ready to deal with it from an understanding point of view. . . x War and the Plague. V First thoughts of war almost invariably turn on loss of life incident to conflict of armies. The death roll here is always impressive, fre quently, magnified through vain imagination, but remaining to the end a convincing evidence i man's innate savagery. Such thoughts ex clude a fact that is entitled to far more consid eration than it ever gets that death is the por tion of all. Moreover, now that the fighting in France has ceased, the relation between the war and the plague is coming to be considered Whatever the rause, whether it be from dis turbance of the nutrition of the people because of carelessness growing out of war excitement, or for any other reason, a pandemic has pre vailed, and its death toll has been in the United States practically double that exacted by the war. Almost, if not quite, as many" men died in training' camps here as laid down their lives in battle abroad, while the number of civilians who succumbed to ih- "flu" is greater than either. And the war is over, while the disease daily adds, to its victims. No comfort can be had from this, unless it be that men of science are striving with utmost endeavor to discover means for checking the scourge. The only I lesson is that war, terrible as it may be made, holds scarcely more of danger than follows man in his most peaceful seclusion.

' Lincoln's Gettysburg Address November 19, 1863. Four score and seven years ago our fath ers brought iorth on this continent a new na tion, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any na tion so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation' might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and deadu who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It israther forv us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us; that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of de votion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this na tion, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth. Bills Germany Must Pay Philadelphia Public Ledger. Two main objects led Germany to launch the campaign of unrestricted submarine, warfare even at the risk of bringing the United States into the conflict. The more obvious, of course, was to starve out England and prevent the transportation of its troops and supplies. The other, of secondary importance while the war lasted, was to pave the way for gaining commer cial supremacy when the war was over. The first object has been defeated, but the second can yet be achieved if the allies permit them selves to be persuaded by casuistic pleas for generosity to a beaten foe. The sinking of en emy, tonnage is of course a legitimate war meas ure, though Germany made it illegitimate by destroying life as well. But the sinking of neu tral tonnage is a breach of international law, whether lives are lost or not. Germany did this for no other purpose than to wipe out commer cial rivals. Thus Norway is its chief rival- in the shipping business among all the neutrals, and Norwegian ships have suffered more than any other. The war was from the first a busi ness enterprise on Germany's part, and this line was to be one of the most profitable. The allies have the first claim on German shipping. None others should be admitted until theirs is satisfied. In the armistice with Austria a surrender of the Austrian navy is provided for, and nothing less can be asked of Germany. But Germany has a large merchant marine, partly interned in neutral countries, partly safe in its own ports, partly taken over by the allied countries. In ordinary circumstances all its ships would be returned to it after the war, with payment for their use if they had been used, or for their purchase if it was desired to buy them. We have under the American flag a large Ger man fleet for which Germany has the right to ask an equivalent in money. Without denying that right, we shall have also a right to deduct from the debt full compensation for all the losses inflicted by Germany upon allied com merce. All the allied nations will have the same right. It may be that all the German , tonnage now in allied or neutral hands will not Suffice to pay the bill. Yet the demand of ship for ship, just as it is, will hardly be pressed to the extent of leaving Germany with no means to work out the heavy indemnity which will presumably be Exacted from it. ' That the neutrals should now be making out their bills is not surprising. That of Norway is an especially heavy one. Nearly 900 of its ships have been, sunk by German submarines with a tremendous loss of life. Holland, Swe den, Denmark and Spain have all Suffered, though in less measure. The Norwegian claim comes first, however, not merely because it is the largest, but because the other neutrals have served Germany more or less at the expense of the allies. Denmark is excusable, perhaps, since it had no power to resist. But Holland has played a callous game throughout, and Sweden's pro-Germanism has been flagrant and manifest. As for Spain, though it protested at latf, and has compelled Germany to turn over seven ves sels interned in Spanish ports as partial pay ment for damages, its course has been timid, to say the least, and it ought to take ,its chances after more imperative claims have been satisfied. The nations that have borne the burden of mak ing the seas safe again must be served first. Drama of Sedan With what dramatic color the war for the liberation of the ravished provinces of France closes The Americans, debtors toN France, to Lafayette of immortal memory, the Americans take from the Huns Sedan, the loss of which in 1871 was a tragedy for the French in the French and Prussian war. What high dramatic interest, indeed, centers in this actbf fine chivalry 1 And how wonderful the movings of the hands of the clock of destiny that it should be timed as the curtain drop of the hostilities for the Americans! a When the poet and the dramatist and the painter have time and perspective for the great pictures and great stagings and the great dramas of the present war, let them not miss this as a theme of sublime spiritual interestl France and the Unted States, friends from the cradle of the American republic and from the days of the French revolution France and the United States are welded yet still closer in the enduring ties of blood by the latest battle of the Americans, a battle that made it impossible for the Germans to do other than accept the te'rms of the armistice, no matter what these might be. Hail to France 1 Cherished be the memories of tre American men who wtre the heroes of the mighty drama of the capture of Sedan from the hold of the Hlhns! Baltimore American. The Ejaiser as a Sidestepper - Readers ot the "Willy" and "Nicky" corre spondence will remember that back in 1905, when Russia was;ompelled to make peace with Japan, "Willy" telegraphed to "Nicky" suggest ing that he sidestep the responsibility of a dis advantageous and humiliating peace by putting it up to the Duma representatives to adopt what was practically worked out for them at Plym outh and let the people's representatives bear all the odium which might ultimately result therefrom. That would lead the people to think that their own representatives had , betrayed them and incline them to turn to "Nicky" again. This may be the policy which the kaiser is trying to adopt now. He is loading up the Reichstag, by his own will, with the responsi bility of extricating the German nation from the humiliating position to which it has been re duced. Matters are going from bad to worse and when the revolution comes and the govern ment is overthrown, the kaiser will hope to be able, as he advised "Nicky" to lay the blame upon the Reichstag, throw out his chest-and offer himself as the only savior of the German rition. ! fk , And who shall say that the iSerman people are not stupid enough in their blind devotion to a domineering spirit like the kaiser to accept him again as their leader and give him the sup port which he would require to retain his place arid influence as the head of the empire. There might be some pretended political reform, but the kaiser would still possess the substance of power. Minneapolis Tribune. " Free Rides for Railroad Men. North Platte, Neb., Nov. I A To me sailor of The Bee: Several articles have appeared in vour col umns of late against the giving of passes to railroad employes, and from the tone of them are from writers who do not understand the principles on which these favors are In days past all polticians carried a book of passes to give out to vot ers about election time, but nowa days passes are for bona fide em ployes only. , Pleasure passes are issued only to those who have served a specified time and each five years of meritori ous service has its bounds in regard to free passes. There are very few stores or 6ther businesses rh the country today which do not income way extend courtesies to their employes in some manner, either by giving reductions In goods bought or vacations with pay, none of which the railroad em ploye receives. The farmer has hired help, prob ably a man and wife, and I am sure you would think it very wrong for him to go to town in his car and let his help walk or pay their way not a good wayyto reward or keep a good man. Employes of all railroads are given to undrestand that faithful, merltorlolis service will be rewarded, and the most of us take this as the reward. We are restricted on passes from riding trains that are popular with the public, and also those that are ordinarily crowded, besides, we as sume all risk as to accident. I am sure that if (he public knew the conditions under which railroad men work and suffer in time of storms they wouldn't feel that we were getting something for nothing, or that they were kaying for It, and would say that we were only getting what was due us. I will admit there are some who abuse this pass privilege, but so in all other things. I know men who have been on the road a lifetime and have never had a pass, off of the short district on which 'they work, so it is hardly fair to make all suffer to punish a few. I have been a railroad man for over 20 years and I see lots of peo ple who are i.s welt, or better, paid In other walks of life getting re wards for faithful service, but I have never felt envious of them in the least, as I felt they must deserve It or their employer wouldn't have presented it. Don't be a knocker Just because you can't have everything you see others have. You can have these passes, too, If you care to go through five to ten years' apprenticeship In any branch of service on the road "You'll earn them." W. B. BROWN, Engineer W. P. R. R.
