Those midnight thunder showers are just a little bit trying to the nervous folks. Iowa claims to be the first over the top again for the Victory loan. Hurrah for the Hawkeyes. The airplanes keep right on claiming their victims, just as if the fighting had not ceased. Yankton has just elected a woman city com missioner, something Omaha will attain in time. ; "We for democracy and got flu and pro hibition," says a returned Yank. Frank enough. ' With the base ball season formally opened, Mars is going to have a hard time to hold the public eye. It took the president a long time to learn to say "unconditional surrender," but he surely sticks to it. , A world-wide prohibition drive is about to be launched. We want to see it after it has made one round trip. Making the world safe for democracy ought not to require that we sacrifice friendships that are long established. If the German delegates hurry they may get to Paris in time to see thej finish of a fine row in the Peace conference. .' Some further education will probably be needed before the $3,000,000 county paving bond issue is endorsed by the voters. Carter Glass sees the Victory loan a success. So do all his fellow citizens, many of whom are backing up their faith with their coin. Do not be disturbed when the waiter tells you the pat on the plate is something other than butter. The new law requires him to tell the truth about it. Mr. Burleson has closed the mails to matter criticizing his course as to the telegraph wires. What is the good of being a czar if you can not protect yourself? As it happens, the sheriff of Woodbury county entertains no illusions as to the desir ability of a "Wobbly" convention, no matter what the mayor may have in mind. J All the critics of Albert Sidney Burleson must be aware of one big point in his favor. He is the only living man Woodrowr Wilson ever appointed twice to his cabinet. Ejected from England and denied admission by the United States, Miss Troy is in a fair po sition to recognize the fact that the radical agitator's road is not an easy one among orderly people nowadays. Those returned army men at the Colorado agricultural school seem to have forgotten the first lesson they were taught in the army, that of obedience to superior officers. Even stu dents are expected to pay some attention to the instructors under whom they are set. - i Talk of separate peace between the United States and Germany has a strange sound to Americans, who blush to think their country so long held aloof when the cause of humanity called so loudly for action. The delegates who would return from Paris with a peace pact to which our friends were not parties might better not come home. Substitutes for the Saloons The Episcopal church seems quite ready to accept the challenge which has been thrown out that it is the business of the churches to find' a substitute for the saloon. That denomination, which two years ago raised $5,000,000 to pension its clergymen as they became incapacitated, pro poses to raise during the net three years a fund of $20,000,000 .for domestic and foreign missions, of which some $18,000,000 is to be used for several forms of church work here at home. There are various phases of this domestic mission work, including work among the im migrants, the support of weak rural churches and the like, but the plan which will arouse the roost interest is that which the committee in ' charge state in this .way : Has the church no message or act of sym pathy and helpfulness for the millions in our land who after July 1 will be deprived of the only social center provided for them? The saloon has served a community need. Cannot the church provide a better? You cannot take something away from a man without giving him something in return. ; This problem is new, being forced upon the country by the war-time prohibition order and .the passage of the prohibition amendmenfto the constitution. The Episcopal church, among others, has contributed to the voting strength which makes the Anti-Saloon league powerful. It is only fair that the churches, having closed the saloons, should provide something which will replace them as social centers. The danger is that the church, with its plan of ample finan cial backing for the new undertaking, may be too late. The need will begin on July 1 and it will become acute next January, when the con stitutional amendment will become operative. Commercial agencies of one sort or another will seek to meet this need as soon as it appears. Some of these may be an improvement on the saloon, but some of them almost certainly will not and they will have won their following be fore the church campaign is ready to start, un less the church makes haste. Many experi ments are likely to be made before anything is found which has the social pull of the saloon without the intoxication which it offers. The church experiment will be the most interesting of them all, and with the support which will enable it to wait for its business to grow it ought to succeed. Brooklyn Eagle. TEST OP STRENGTH AT PARIS. . Matters at Paris have reached a point where a genuine test of strength must be taken. Italy resolutely declines to recede from its demand for the port of Fiume. President Wilson definitely asserts that Italy can not have this port. How this deadlock will be solved must await the decision of the other powers. On this side of the water some wonder is excited as to the propriety of our president engaging to this extent in the adjustment of purely European matters. It becomes him as the great and goqd friend of all to assist to his utmost in bringing about any adjustment neces sary to the preservation of peace there and elsewhere. In this attitude he has the unques tioning support of all. But does this justify him in taking a dictatorial stand such as he has? He argues with some adroitness that the issue of the war has altered conditions that might have supported the Italian claim. This scarcely amounts to a warrant for his request that the treaty of London, under which Italy went into the war, be now revised. Italy had a definite and well. understood object in view, and is not in a mood to abandon any part of that quest now, because the president of the United States feels it incumbent on him to favor certain new states that have appeared. Moreover, surface evidence at least shows that the citizens of Fiume, the port in question, desire annexation to Italy and not to Jugo slavia. Lloyd George and Clemenceau have said they would stand by the treaty of London. We should know in a little while now whether the United States of America has risen to the state of arbiter of the world's fate, whether it be for democracy or riot. It will also concern us greatly as to what course Mr. Wilson will take in the not impossible event of the decision being against his announced de termination to award Fiume to the Jugo-Slavs. Also we may get an early notion of the road along which the League of Nations is leading. Burleson's Tyrannical Censorship. Albert Sidney Burleson is having a lot of trouble in regulating the transmission of public intelligence, but he is doing the best he can to see that nothing gets out but what he wants to go. His worst break came on Sunday night, when the New York World sought by wire to offer for simultaneous publication in news papers outside of New York an article review ing the Burleson regime. Telegrams proffering this article to other papers were refused trans mission by both the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies. It is explained that the managers of these companies acted on their own initiative, and they set up as defense that the matter involved was libelous, and they were justified in suppressing it as far as possible. Control of means of public communication ican not be carried farther. Mr. Burleson has now absolute sway over the mails, the telegraphs and the telephones, and is not bashful or dif fident about asserting it. He excludes from the mails or forbids transmission over the wires, at his own pleasure, and is answerable to no one save the president, who twice named him as postmaster general. His censorship is complete and absolute and tyrannical as well. If other members of the cabinet were to follow his ex ample, we would soon have to appeal to some body to make America safe for Americans. Nature's Invitation. If ever Nature holds forth invitation to man, it is now, in these early spring days, when budding tree and shrub, the grass wet from last night's rain, , the soft breeze, the whistle of the lark, the buoyant lilt of the robin's melody, and every aspect of the great outdoors is an inspiration and a promise. Across the sky of April float the great clouds, argosies of rain, sent up from the southland to refresh the north ern fields. Between shines a sky of such blue as painter never put on canvas, and the warm sun wakes to life the things that have slumbered all the weary months of winter through. Rivulets trickle along the little gullies, and brooks broil madly to join the, creeks, now swollen far beyond their normal flood. Rivers are at freshet stage, and everything gives evi dence of the great creative forces sprung into vital action again, starting a new round of the cycle of existence, birth, growth, decay and death. A walk in the park, a stroll along the street, or better still, a ride into the country, will give the weary city man the relief he can not find in' his office. ' Nature asks you out of doors, these April days. She is donning her new garb, and would like to have you watch as she decks herself in finery that soon will shame the utmost pretense of man. It is spring, and the world is full of the impulse of life. Let its influence enfold you, and you will be a cheery optimist, no matter how you feel before you start outdoors. Germans to Have a Voice. While the dotted line will be carefully pointed out to the German delegates when they reach Versailles, it is not expected that they will immediately sign the peace treaty. Courtesy, even to the vanquished Hun, demands that they be given an opportunity to express their opin ions. So it is now announced that theigh and well born herrs who represent the government recognized will be permitted to argue the point within reasonable limit. It is scarcely conceiv able that their arguments will have the effect of securing any material modification of the terms of the treaty, even to the dotting of an "i". or the crossing of a "t," for the document is made up, sentence has been passed, and it will be carried out. Just as the judge goes through the formality of asking the prisoner at the bar if he has anything to say before sen tence is passed, so will the Peace conference extend this privilege to the Germans. The lat ter, may well recall what the darkey said just before he was hanged: ,"Dis am gwine to be a hell of a lesson to me." Sioux City's mayor let his milk of human kindness overflow enough to obscure his judg ment, and is likely to be recalled by his in dignant constituents. When the executive of a community forgets what is due the public, and gives aid and comfort to the I. W. W. or any similar organization, he ought to be lifted down from his high place. Bolshevism may or may not be disappearing in the central European countries, but the bol shevik army is dwindling, under the attrition of the Poles, Czechs and others. That is the most significant sign. A steamer will always be waiting at Brest to carry Mr. Wilson home. The next one will not hava so biff a load to carrv. either. Between France and Germany Philadelphia Ledger. Shall France be sacrificed to Germany? This dastard question is constantly crop ping up in the cabled criticism and, local com ment on the perplexing and dilatory proceed ings in Paris. It is not always put plainly. That would require "nerve" or irresponsible bravado. But it is slyly suggested; it is deftly insinuated as a charge against the policy of this or that leading delegate; it is attached as a necessary or damning eonsequence to some program or proposal. . It is a question that "begs the question." Every man with red blood in his veins knows the answer. The free and democratic civiliza tion that the valor of France saved will never desert the intrepid people who would not per mit the modern Attila to "pass." Nor is this only gratitude. It is intelligent self-preservation. President Wilson has well put it that "the frontiers of France are the frontiers of freedom." If we once permit forces hostile to the, free, genuinely democratic and well-ordered government of the western world to subdue the magnificent French democracy with its deathless devotion to liberty, the liberties of the rest of us will be in a precarious posi tion. We cannot give France and Italy for the loss of France would turn the flank of Italy in a most perilous manner either to Berlinism or bolshevism and be sure that we can still preserve the free democracy of the rest of us. One thing may be taken as settled, and that is,, that the spokesmen for the two great Anglo-Saxon nations, who are" coming in for some, criticism on this very score, are abso lutely determined without the smallesst doubt or diversity of opinion that every conceivable guarantee of the integrity, safety and tranquil ity of both France and Italy, so far as any such guarantee will be more effective than mischievous, must be incorported in any peace treaty that they will sign. - It is a sinister and unpleasant, comment on the ingrained spirit - of suspicion in human nature that such a statement should be neces sary. It ought everywhere and always to be taken for granted. But i tis because some writers and speakers approach the discussion of many of the features of this exasperatingly and perilously prolonged pour-parlering in Paris with the unfair and untrue intimation that . our Latin allies are being deprived of safeguards which both justice and sagacity would award them that we feel it essential to make this positive assertion. Nothing of the kind is being done. Nothing of the kind will be done. The Anglo-Saxon delegates are not "disarming" France through any "tenderness" for Germany. It is infamous that so foul a charge should be so much as hinted. There may be and seemingly are honest differences of opinion as to the best way to safeguard France and Italy. There are such differences of opinion among Frenchmen and Italians, in spite of the overwhelming popular argument which can always be summoned within any nation to the support of the widest possible expansion of the national boundaries. But a difference of opinion as to means does not necessarily imply a difference of intention as to ends. And, in this case, it is an insulting accusation of treachery, disloyalty, cynical bad faith, betrayal of brothers-in-arms, to intimate that there can be a difference of intention as to ends. President Wilson and Mr. Lloyd George are not urging a "league of nations" for the purpose of coddling Germany. They are urg ing a "league of nations" because they and many others of similar mind believe that this is the only way to bind Germany over to good behavior. It would be a very simple matter today to carry the French frontier to the Rhine and put a cordon of allied troops there to keep it fixed. Germany likely would not sigh such a treaty its present government would fall probably a Spartacan government would take its place. But the allied armies are quite capable without much risk or sacri fice of playing the Brest-Litovsk game and maintaining their steel barrier impregnably planted on the Rhine, permitting the disorgan ized Germans to raise any sort of sheol they relish on the other side of the river. But would that be the best way to insure the safety, the prosperity, the settled peace of France? In the first place, we all know that the United States would not consent very long to sustain an effective . American army as a part of the new "watch on the Rhine." We would bring the boys home again. Undoubtedly the British would do the same thing. If there were nothing more at stake than the industrial and commercial rivalry which will infallibly follow peace, every nation would want its workers to come home and convert their machine guns into spindles. But there would be more at stake the cost of the armies, the standing provocative challenge to Germany, the danger of bolshevist penetration from east of the Rhine, and a score of other accessory burdens and dangers. Would they not be better off if the alleged and sneered at and bitterly attacked "idealism" of Wilson and Lloyd George should manage to present them with a neighbor who had been terribly disillusioned as to the profits of "mili tarism" and wars of conquest, and who bore in his own body no heart-burning wounds which constantly stung him to seek the heal ing ointment of "restoration?" True, the "idealism" may fail. It will fail if its enemies get their way. But is there not more hope in it than in branding the largest people in mid Europe with an intolerable shame? Let us be frank about it. What made Italy fight? Its "Irredenta." What made France accept an alliance with the Russian autocracy? Its "irredenta." What made Roumania fight? Its "Irredenta." What made Bulgaria fight? Its "Irredenta." What made Greece fight when it got rid of its German king? Its "Irre denta." Is an "Irredenta" a good thing then to give Germany? Think it over. It is not at all a question of what Germany deserves for its recent measureless iniquities. It is what France and Italy and Britain and America de serve as the reward of their great sacrifices, their splendid courage and their faith in the glorious future which in spite of the de moniac cataclysm of Armageddon still beck ons the human race.

Return of Twelfth Engineers. Isadora Thank you for the clip ping from the Collinsville paper. We have r.ot yet noticed that the date for the return of the 12th engineers has been fixed. At last accounts this regiment was with the Second army, engaged In railway operation. As that army is being demobilized and its units sent home as rapidly as possible, it may be assumed that the return of the 12th will not be great ly delayed. The regiment had a very honorable' part in the fighting that brought victory over the Huns. Missing Soldier's Address. Mi3S P. S. Writn tn rh nrHntnnr general of the army for the address of soldier who left Fort Riley with evacuation ambulance company after attending medical officers' training school there. The present address of evacuation ambulance company No. 39 is A. P. O. 705, lo cated at Bordeaux. Soldiers on sta tion at Fort Leavenworth are under the same military discipline and con trol as at any other military post. The disciplinary barracks is really the military prison and soldiers con fined there are under stricter dis cipline and more carefully con trolled, as they are undergoing pun ishment as well as being given a chance to reform. This is an in stitution. separate from the military post known as Fort Leavenworth. Many Questions Answered. Mrs. L. B. B. Sorry, but we can not tell you the meaning of the in itials f'O. C. T." and "A. R. T." The soldiers have adopted many arbi trary abbreviations which puzzle the civilian. Mrs. F. V. M. Military police company 223 is in the service of supply and is not scheduled for early return. Mrs. J. H. Field remount squadron 342 is in the service of supply at St. Nazaire, and Is not scheduled for early return. Appli .cation for the immediate release of a man in this unit should be made to the officer in command, present ing an affidavit setting forth reasons for the request. Mrs. A. V. B. Salvage unit No. 316 has not been assigned to convoy; efforts are being made to get all these units out of France as fast as possible; watch The Bee for an nouncement. Mrs. V. The Eighth aero squad ron Is attached to the Sixth army corps, and has not yet sailed from Bordeaux; these units are coming home as rapidly as transport can be provided, but not in any regular order. Mrs. G. D. See answer to Mrs. V., foreeroing. A Soldier's Sister The 58th in fantry is part of the Eighth brigade, Fourth division, and is included in the army of occupation; no time has been fixed for its return. The 25th engineers is engaged In con struction work with the First army, and no time has been set for its re turn; its present address is A. P. O. 774. M. A. H. Latest word from the 408th telegraph battalion is to the effect that it has sailed and will reach New York about May 10. The 355th infantry is part of the 89th division, scheduled to sail for home in June. No orders have yet been issued for the return of the Sixth division. Mrs. H. V. Write to the ad jutant general of the army for in formation concerning a missing sol dier. The 109th military police is in the service of supply of the army, Intermediate section, with headquarters at Nevers, south of Paris about 60 miles. A Soldier's Wife The 110th in fantry is on the schedule to sail with the 28th division in May; can not tell at which port they will land or which camp they will be sent to muster out. Mrs. C. L. To secure the release of a soldier for essential reasons write to the officer commanding his company, presenting affidavits or a sworn statement embodying the rea sons for making the request. This is the first step, and the others are taken by the military authorities. The 96th aero squadron is part of the Third army, in occupation of Ger many. An Anxious Mother Regret we can not tell you when Company H of the Eighth provisional regiment will be sent home; these units are not attached to divisions, and there fore no sailing schedule for them is announced. A Soldier's Wife Your Informa tion in regard to the 109th supply train is probably correct. This unit his been employed in the convoy service since the 34th division was sent home, and no date has been fixed for its return to the United States. Mrs. C. S. Bakery company No. 306 is in the service of supply of the army, and its present address is Monttgny-le-Roi, via A. P. O. 757. No time has been fixed for its return to the United States. Soldier's Sister and Brother No time has been fixed for the return of ambulance company No. 40, it being part of the Sixth division, which is likely to be held In France Indefinitely. An Anxious Mother Application for the early release of a soldier from the service, for any reason whatsoever, can not affect his rights as regards his Insurance, which takes the place of a pension, or any of his allowances or standing in the service. The 119th field artillery Is part of the 32d division, and is scheduled to sail for home in May. DAILY CARTOONETTE HERE PETE &IUE-ME fi Boost UMTHTHlstT WQ HE DID' jtfte jMs' Come -Q DREAMLAND ADVENTURE By DADDY. "THE POISONED SWORD." (Tha Myaterloua Knight la challenged by Klnar Bird to moet a atranger, tha Knight of tha Poisoned Sword, In combat.) I CHAPTER IV. The Warrior of Many Swords. THE unlcorm was astonished when the Mysterious Knight landed on his back. He reared up and tried to shake the knight off. Then he almost stood on his head trying to pitch the knight forward. But the knight rode him like a cowboy and couldn't be budged. The uni corn swung his horn wildly around and tried to Jab it into the knight's leg. "Don't let him touch you with his poisoned sword," screamed Peggy to the knight But the knight didn't heed her. He reached out and caught the unicorn by the horn. The unicorn Jerked and perked, struggling hard to get his head free. Then of a sudden something queer happened the Mysterious Knight pulled so hard that he pulled the horn right out of the unicorn's head. At least that Is the way it looked to Peggy and the Birds, who put up a great shout of Joy, for, with the exception of King Bird and his crowd, they were all on the side of the Mysterious Knight The unicorn Bnorted In alarm when he felt his horn go, and he snorted again when Billy swung the horn like a whip, bringing it down smartly on the unicorn's flank. That started the unicorn on a mad gallop, around and around the arena, with Billy urging him to a faster and faster pace by spanking him with his own horn. The unicorn rushed madly for free dom, leaving the knight hanging there. "HI. yi! This tourney la more fun than I've had In a week," shout ed the Mysterious Knight, waving his horn at King Bird. Just then, however, the knight's fun took a turn, for the unicorn whirled and dashed off Into the woods. As he galloped under a tree the low-hanging limbs caught the knight and swept him from the uni corn's back. The unicorn rushed madly for freedom, leaving the knight hanging there. "Hi yl! Ho, ho!'' the knight laughed at his own plight. "Hurrah! The knight has con quered the unicorn!" screeched the birds happily. "Ho, ho! That wasn't a unicorn," laughed the knight. "King Bird's Knight of the Poisoned Sword was only a big horse that came out of an automobile wreck with a spoke of the wheel caught in the bridle so it looked like a horn. You can't fool us that way, King Bird." "Kee-ee-ee! You're fooling your self. That wasn't the Knight of the Poisoned Sword. When you meet my champion you'll know you've struck the real thing." Thus King Bird yelled derisively. Crash, swish, bang, clatter, crash! Smashing sounds from the woods drew the eyes of all in that direc tion. Was it the real Knight of the Poisoned Sword coming this time? Whack! Wham! The sounds drew near so fast that the knight, weight ed by his armor, couldn't drew him self up into the tree. He hung help less from the limb as the stranger approached. He was still hanging there when a huge elk bounded into the arena and stood looking defi antly around at the assembled crowd. "Gracious!" cried Peggy. "It's Big Horn, leader of the park elks. He must have escaped from the zoo." "Look at his swords," screached the birds. "He could poison an army." Peggy, noting the sharp prongs of the elk's wide-spreading antlers, gave a shiver. Sure enough this was a harder foe for the knight than either of the others. The elk, looking about in noble challenge, saw the glitter of the knight's armor. "Hr r r ump!" he grunted, then sprang at the hanging knight. Crash, went the antlers against the armor, and It was a good thing that the knight's metal coat was thick or the prongs would have gone right through. As it was the knight was given a big thump that knocked him from the tree. He let go his hold, and in falling grabbed the prongs of the elk's antlers. In a second the two were battling in a thrilling struggle. (In tha next chapter will ba told how the Myaterloua Knight meeta the real Knight of the Poisoned Sword.) Ballot In the South. Omaha, April 23. To the Editor of The Bee: When Hon. Carter Glass, secretary of the treasury of the United States, speaks here next Friday why would it not be a good plan for him to explain some things to the people of Nebraska, where every citizen can cast a Vote freely and have it counted as cast? Mr. Glass ought to explain the reason for keeping 500,000 citizens of the state of Virginia from casting their votes, 300,000 of the 500,000 being white men, while a little bunch of autocrats run that state, Mr. Glass being one of them, for he helped frame the present constitution of his state by which the greater part of the citizens of his state are without the right of suffrage, under that constitution so skilfully drawn. If the several hundred thousands of young men were good enough to go to France to fight for what Wilson, Glass and others call democracy, why are they not good enough to cast their ballots in the state of Virginia? Mr. Carter Glass would not be secretary of 'the treasury to day had it not been for the crooked work done by the so-called demo cratic party in every southern state in cutting down the right of suf frage, not only to black men but to several millions of whits men as well. As I have said before, I hope that the republican national convention in 1920 will come (out boldly and de nounce the methods of the southern democracy in suppressing the vote of millions of men, while at the same time preaching democracy to the whole world. The southern democrats shed crockodile tears over the oppressions the races of the whole earth have been under, no difference what the race or color, except In our own land where both white and black are compelled to submit to their dicta tions by the millions without any re dress.
