The "filibuster" saved the country several liillions. Our Ilawkeye neighbors have no occasion to complain of lack of material for gossip. What do you know about Vermont towns voting "wet?" July 1 is a long way ahead. The sleepy stiffs will never know what they missed by not getting tip at Omaha, but it is their loss. Mayor Rolph of San Francisco called the turn at Washington, but how does that help the situation? Killing the civil service law for Omaha ought to strengthen the determination to have heme rule here. "Careful' selfishness" has saved disaster many a time, and is not a whole lot worse than "watchful -waiting." Justice Cohalan now knows whether the war ii over. The president declined to enter the same room with him. Filipinos are again agitating for , inde pendence. Let them be patient and they will get it in good season. We hope Mr. - Wilson has recovered his equanimity by this time, but he certainly was not in the best of humor when he left home. "Democrats organize to present solid frdnt of opposition" in the next, congress. But that is not partisan pontics, you know; it is pure patriotism. ! Americans have always responded to the call of humanity, but that does not mean they are to abandon their own interests entirely because humanity needs assistance again. For a nation that did not know which side was right in 1916, but is now ready to take on all the troubles and pay all the bills of the world war, Americans are showing some speed. Already the covenant of universal peace is being, amended to make the United States as sume a greater share of the cost of the war. What wonder it meets criticism here. Mr. Burleson is going to sell us a new de sign of 3-cent stamp to commemorate Victory, but what most of us would like to see is the postal service back on its old basis of efficiency. I'lie superintendent of 'police again passes the buck to the police judges in the matter of auto speeding. What the public would like to see is a reasonable measure for safety, reasonably en forced, no matter by whom. Claude E. Kitchin modestly steps aside to let Champ Clark become democratic floor leader in the next congress. It will not make a great deal of difference which is at the head, the party will continue to be behind. The German cabinet says it will not submit to coercion from the Entente allies. Oh, very well. Maybe they had better talk the matter over with Herr Hindenburg and Herr Luden Jorff before making their resolution irrevocable. Up to the present nobody knows just where the president stands on the Irish question, un less it can be extracted from his promise that when it comes up at Paris he will use his "best judgment," and that may mean anything. It would be very impolite for any other nation to rite up at Paris and inquire if the constitution of the League of Nations is to be more care fully observed than is the constitution of the United States of America by those who have sworn to defend it. All Truth Tellers Testimony more contradictory could hardly be imagined than that which has been offered in regard to the embarkation camp at Pontanezen, near Brest. On the one hand, many soldiers who have been there tell dreadful stories about their hardships and sufferings, while, on the other hand, several newspaper correspondents, including some who presumably would not be reluctant to report horrors if horrors existed, have made what they declare to have been care iul and complete examinations and either adtnit or proclaim that the much-criticized camp, all things considered, is a credit to American ability to guard the health of our soldeirs and Ameri can determination to do it. And now we have a detailed report of an examination "made at General Pershing's order by a competent subordinate of higft rank, and he, too, says that the camp is well organized, the buildings weather-tight and warm, the food good and its distribution excellent, and that adequate measures have been taken to keep the men out of the mud inevitably formed in that port of France at this season of the year when many troops are gathered in close quarters. That is, of course, an investigation of the accused by themselves, and favorable reports are naturally to be expected in such circum stances, but it is incredible that Major Gen. Helmick would deliberately misrepresent facts that are known to thousands and thousands of people, or that General Pershing would as de liberately present falsified hospital statistics. This, however, is not to say that fsomebdy is lying," and still less to say the men who have so bitterly complained about their experiences at the Pontanezen camp are the ones who have been doing it. A possible theory of the dis crepancies in the evidence is that the witnesses all tell the truth, but are referring to different times that evils once real enough were reme died as soon as possible. Allowance mnst be made, too, for the impatience and irritability of the soldier, eager to get home and detained on tuo coast of France where, apparently it al ways rains for a period the length of which he docs not understand. New York Times. PRESIDENT, PEACE AND THE PEOPLE. In at least one of his assertions at New York, the president is eminently accurate. Not alone a majority of the American people, but every right-thinking individual throughout the world ardently, yea, devoutly hopes that the negotiations at Paris will produce durable peace. They know that such peace can be established only on justice, and that it will endure only so long as justice is done to all. And the world is ready to accept for trial any reasonable plan, the workings of which will produce the har monious tranquility so poignantly desired. , But this scarcely justifies Mr. Wilson in his attitude towards the men who differ from him, who decline to accept without question or com ment otherwise than favorable the dictum he presents. His career as president of the United States does not warrant such assumption on his part. Take his utterances, from the speech he made in Philadelphia, after the Lusitania af fair in May, 1915, when he sought to quiet the righteous anger of the American people with the plea that generally increased indignation, "We are too proud to fight," on down to his latest words, delivered to a selected audience at the Metropolitan Opera house, and we find a continual shifting of position. He has moved from stand to stand, through all the moods of' pacifism into and out of belligerency, and now demands that he 1 be given unquestioning acquiescence in whatever he proposes. Such a review will convince the candid person that the president has put considerable of a strain on a free people accustomed to dealing directly with its own affairs. In, October, 1916, at Omaha Mr. Wilson said Americans had not gone into the war be cause they had not yet found which side was in the right; they could not yet tell for which cause they wanted to fight. Contrast this with the tenor of his address at New York Tuesday night, when he in effect insisted that Americans are ready and eager to take on not only the burdens of Europe, butthe cares of the world as well. One may not wholly coincide with this broad and all-inclusive philanthropy, and yet be free from the accusation of being "sepa rated from the general currents of the thought of mankind." Mr. Wilson especially scorns those who "set up a doctrine of careful selfishness" for the pro tection of America, which might be contrasted against the attitude he took a few years ago, when he specifically and persistently declined to protect American citizens in Mexico because such protection might result in war with Mexico. The men who are now asking 'that the con stitution of the League of Nations be modified in particulars essential to American interests have motives no less patriotic, philanthropic or beneficial than do those who are ready to take on not only the white man's burden, but all the other cares and troubles of a disturbed world. They observe, however, that France, Italy, Japan, and other nations, great and small, are asking for better protection than the tentative draft promises, and can see no good reason why this boon should be denied to America. Un questioning acceptance of the president's per sonal views, especially when they are presented in a manner so indicative of irritation and dis pleasure, is not a final test of devotion to the country's welfare. Plight of the Railroads. Failure of the appropriation that was to have gone to the support of the railroads tinder government management has its serious aspects, but it also has a, side that will in some way justify the situation Business may or may not suffer in consequence, but the railroad adminis tration will be required to get down to business and run the roads about as the owners would be required to do. Governmental operation has thus far been relieved of the serious problem of paying expenses out of earnings, and of se curing capital for extensions in the open mar ket. The half-billion revolving fund Mr. McAdoo thought would be ample disappeared as water poured on sand, and Mr. Hines has already disposed of the .three-fourths of a bil lion he asked, when the appropriation failed, No question is made of the necessity of the expen ditures proposed. Betterments and extensions, renewals and repairs of equipment, and all those details were matters of experience to the operative railroad men, who had to provide funds for carrying out the projects, as Well as to meet the increased payroll and other ad vancing costs of doing business. These prob lems were 'solved by thif federal administrator easily and simply. He 'knocked another hole into the treasury reservoir, and let the money spout. For a little while the roads will be man aged as a business enterprise and not as an eleemosynary institution. This experience ought to be reflected finally in the determination of the disposition to be made of the whole ques tion of government ownership. Business, Not Politics. The conference of governors and mayors at Washington developes that the country is gen erally getting impatient under the paternalistic patronage of the democratic federal adminis tration. As the mayor of San Francisco put it, it was not necessary to call them 3,000 miles away from home to tell them the country needs good roads, and that every American should own his own home. .' The mayor of Omaha made it a little more specific, citing the fact that "somebody in Washington is standing on his foot," holding back a million dollars' worth of public improvements in this city. Governor Edge of New Jersey and Governor Cox of Ohio came into sharp clash over the socialistic tendency of the administration, and in other ways tacks have been distributed along the path of which the cabinet officers in charge were to roll the rubber-tired chariot of state. Up to the present writing, the conference has made clear only one point, and that is that the democrats are not gaining much through this transparent attempt to make political medicine out of national necessity. A prompt deniSl from Belgium that any there suffered starvation or was poisoned by spoiled wheat or any other food sent from Amer ica ought to end the miserable gossip Circu lated in this country. It will not, though, for the propaganda so extensive prior to the days of 1917 is reviving in all its insidious and devious danger. Americans should be on their guard constantly against efforts to thrust a wedge of jealousy or distrust between them and their al lies, and should remember that Germany still is our foe. ... Seniority will continue to rule in congress, according to report from Washington, but the policy of "mandarinism" can not endure forever. Doughboys Going to School Stars and Stripes, France. Twenty thousand men of the Third army and 10,000 of the First army have enrolled as students in army post schools to be conducted under the auspices of the army educational com mission, it was announced this week at general headquarters. , The school bell is ringing in many parts of the A. E. F. In the Ninth army corps, now stationed in the vicinity of St. Mihiel, it was stated, 11,000 men are already attending classes. In regions further south, including Bordeaux, where the famous University of Bordeaux is preparing to receive 1,200 American students, post schools and colleges are being got ready. The exploitation of the Dijon area is a possibil ity of the near future. Under tha terms of general orders 9, general headquarters, division schools, where men may take work corresponding to high school courses and also vocational work, are to be opened in all divisions. Hundreds of former college and academy professors are being withdrawn from various branches of the A. E. F. and sent to direct an dteach these schools, and thousands of text books are being shipped to them. The plan is to make these divisional schools con tinuous in operation, having them move with the divisions when they are" ordered Hobokenward, breaking up only when the outfits are mustered out at home. For the higher branches of education, courses in 14 French universities and in several of the larger English and Scottish universities will be offered, as previously announced, to duly quali fied applicants the same rules applying to offi cers and men who wish to continue interrupted undergraduate studies or take up post-graduate work. But, in addition, the A. E. F. is going to have a college of its own, entirely complete in equipment barracks, class rooms, teaching staff and text books, at Nevers. - Taking a course in one of the foreign univer sities or in the A. E. F.'s own college will not, however, mean that a man will be stuck here if his unit is ordered back. The privilege will be extended, so it is planned, to all officers and men in attendance to choose whether they want to go home with their units or stay and finish their courses. In addition, all officers and men, while taking university work, will be considered as on detached service and will draw their full pay- . ., The subjects being taught in such post schools as those operated in the Ninth army corps area include elementary and advanced French, French history, governmental institu-' tions of the allied countries, salesmanship, draw ing, architecture, civics, English reading, com position and literature, causes of the present war, use of gas engines, arithmetic, algebra and trigonometry, shorthand, and for elementary students, reading, writing and spelling. 1 The effort is to make all the courses as prac tical as possible. In the course of architecture, for example, which is under the charge of a former lecturer at the University of California, Mhe class visits and inspects various types of buildings throughout the corps area, including old Roman edifices. For the divisional schools a divisional school officer has been appointed in each of those units now in France. Under him are regimental and company school officers, reporting to him and extending the program laid down. In each di vision, also, there will be- appointed from the army personnel a man with library experience to act as divisional librarian, working in co-operation with the divisional school officer to secure the needed text and reference books. The American Library association will ap point from its own personnel for each army an army librarian to have general supervision of the divisional book distribution, and will also have its representatives at the more important centers in the S. O. S. A central library and distributing center will be established for the Third army at Coblenz. The language difficulty in connection with work in the French universities is expected to be overcome by the offering of intensive courses in French to prospective students for several weeks before the opening of the regutar univer sity courses. Much of the instruction, though, will be in English, either through the medium of French professors who know the language or Americans assigned to lecture and translate. At the University of Bordeaux, however, all the courses will be given in French. As a sam ple of the accommodations to be provided by the French ' universities, the Bordeaux faculty has decided to admit about 500 Americans to its law school and about 200 to its medical school. To the latter only those men will be admitted who have had at least two years' study in Amer ican medical schools. The scientific school will accommodate about 200 Americans, and of this number four specially qualified men will be allowed to take the course in astronomy at a nearby observatory. The re mainder of the university's quota will be eligible for the regular general course in French litera ture, history and arts. As to the agricultural program embodied in the army's educational scheme, the farmers' in stitute courses which closed recently at Bor deaux proved highly successful. They were given at 14 different camps in Base Section No. 2 and the attendance ranged from 300 to 800 or more. '. So great was the enthusiasm manifested that it is now, proposed to have permanent agricul tural training staffs at each of the larger camps in the section, under the general charge of Maj. George J. Dowling. At the embarkation camp of the Bordeaux region, where the men stay only a few days be fore being shipped home, lectures on agricul ture, accompanied by motion pictures, are to be arranged. How Brother Met Brother. "Haiti Who goes there? Advance and give the countersign!" This command, which rang out clearly in the night on the battlefield of France for a moment startled Sergt. JohnVHar vey of Uniontown, Pa., although the tones seemed rather familiar. Sergeant Harvey did as ordered and for the first time in four years met his brother, Sergt. Edward Harvey. Neither of the brothers knew the other was within sev eral thousand miles of France. "AT The Day We Celebrate. Frank W. Corliss, of the Waterloo Creamery company, born 1 1 842. Dr. Charles, W.

Bonus for Soldiers. II. M. The $60 bonus Is to be paid to officers, soldiers, field clerks, and nurses of the army on honorable separations by discharge or other wise from the service. It will not bo paid to the heirs of any deceased soldier. Soldiers yet to be dis charged wlll'recelve this bonus on the regular payroll. Those already discharged and having received their final pay should write to the zone finance officer, Lemon building, Washington, P. C, giving mili tary record since April fl, 1917, and inclosing discharge papers or order for discharge. Checks will be sent from the office of the zone finance officer in the order claims are received, and the discharge papers will be returned with the check. Drafted men who had re ported to post of duty on or prior to the signing of the armistice are en titled to this bonus. The number of claims to be paid, more than a mil lion and a quarter, will occasion some delay in getting the money out to everybody. Many Questions Answered.

Keep Alive the Brotherhood. Omaha, March 3. To the Editor of The Bee: One of the writers in this column has advocated an or ganization of discharged soldiers and sailors, and in my opinion it would bo of great value In perpetuating that great brotherhood of men which the war has created, and In fostering the spirit of tolerance which was instill ed in all of us by meeting and living with men of every type and station in life. Those who were not privileg ed to spend a few months in the close fellowship of camp life cannot realize how much prejudice and false pride was broken down in the barracks and mess halls of the great canton ments, where the farmer, the tradesman, the mechanic; the rich and the poor; the religious and ir religious: the northerner and south erner, all met on an equal' footing, discussed their views and learned to be more sympathetic and charit able toward thost who differed with them. The great majority of the men will return with a greater ap preciation of their rights and a broader understanding of their duties as citizens and they will be the greatest, leavener that has ever entered the political life of this country, exercising the balance of power between the ultra reform ele ment on the one hand and the ex treme liberal element on th other.

The basket came near going into the mud. too, but Billy Juggled it frantically as it tipped back and forth and Anally held it safe and secure. "Ho, ho! what a joke!" roared the mean sprites. It would have been funnier If the washing had spilled In the mud," complained Joker. "Shame on you!" cried Peggy. "Then Mammy's hard work would have gone for nothing and she would have lost the 13 she will get for it. That's a mean idea of a joke." Billy was busy while the mean sprites were laughing. The instant Mammy hit the sidewalk and while the basket was still in the air there flashed Into his mind a way to work his plan against tho mean sprites. "Lay still and pretend you are dead," he whispered to Mammy. "We will give an awful scare . to those banana-peel jokers." The breath was knocked out of Mammy by her bump, but her sharp eyes had seen Billy rescue her bas ket and she knew he was a friend. So she gave Billy a wise wink, and sank back with a sigh. "I'm killed! I'm dald!" she groaned, closing her eyes. "Oh, Mammy, are you hurt?" cried Peggy, alarmed when she saw Mam my so still. Mammy just gave a gasp as if were her last one. She Is dead: ' cried Peggy. Billy whispered a message to Chuckle: "Run and get Policeman Sense." Away scooted Chuckle at ton SDeed. A look of horror came over the faces of the agreeable sprites when they heard Peggy's cry. The mean sprites-' quit laughing In a hurry. They thought they had killed Mam my with the mean joke and were badly scared. "Run! Here comes Policeman Sense," shouted Wit, aa a burly sprite in uniform came hurrying down the street. "Where? Oh where can we hide?" cried the mean sprites in a panic. "I know a place! Follow me!" shouted Billy. "Quick! Show us quick!" yelled Joker. Billy ran toward the tar heater and all the mean sprites ran after him, with Joker, Mocker and Wit so eager to hide they almost pushed him along. They were all scared out of their wits and never stopped to think that Billy might lie tricking them to pay them back for their treatment of him and Peggy. It took but a minute to get to the tar heater. Billy lifted off the heavy iron cover of the melting pot and pointed to the space within. "Hop in there quick, before Po liceman Sense sees you," he cried. (Tomorrow will b told how Billy makes It hot for thft mean sprites.)
