Major General William M. Wright now is

"- No American general has done better work

, ywho returned recently. It was he who com
v: founded the Third and Sixth corps in France
'. and it is related of him that he forced a river
crossing which several American divisions had
; failed to take, despite a gallantry entailing
- heavy losses.
,.' " General Wright, when told by General Persh
v.Ing that the commander-in-chief expected him
1 'to cross, gave his word that he would accom
plish the task. He then gathered together as
- many of his corporals and sergeants as possible
l, and explained to them what the exploit called
Jot and why he must depend upon them. The
thinking American bayonets promptly respond
ed and the crossing was taken with only a nomi
ml loss a splended example of .a wise general
and of the admirable initiative and self-reliance
,of the enlisted Amencan soldier. Only those
who have visited the Argonne battle fields can
' gauge correctly the extraordinary achieve
ments of our soldiers there. Because of the
difficult terrain, divisions and brigades,, even
regiments disintegrated. Yet the American

PRESIDENT TO THE CONGRESS.
Mr. Wilson's message to the congress is
worthy of careful perusal, as much for the
things he says as for the manner in which he
says them. It has a general air of cautious ap
proach, as though he were addressing a body
of whose temper he was not assured. This may
account for the casual treatment accorded some
of the more important subjects, although the
president admits his absence from the country
has cut the close personal contact with affairs
necessary to definite conclusions and specific
recommendations.
His advice that the revenue law be amended
to lighten the burden of taxation, and do away
with some of its cumbersome, costly and op
pressive features, had been discounted, as also
has been his suggestion with regard to woman
suffrage, war-time prohibition, and th return
of the railroads and the wires to their cor
porate owners. Equally expected are recom
mendations with reference to post-war labor
conditions. If congress can find a'way to lead
to the new relations the president thinks may
be brought about by a reorganization of in
dustry, the service to humanity will be in
calculable. Mr. Wilson prudently exercises his right to
withhold for the present discussion on the peace
treaty and the topics connected therewith.
Until the pact has been presented to the senate
in formal manner, the debate may proceed as it
has along general lines.
This brings his communication down to its
matter of chief importance, the future of Amer
ican industry and commercial relationswith the
world, which means the tariff. The president
clings to the theory of tariff legislation as em
bodied in the Underwood bill, which is in its
essence a free trade measure. Discussing the
future from this point, he recommends that the
free list so far as it affects raw materials be
not disturbed. Measures for conserving the
American dye and chemical industry from re
vived German aggression are asked from con
gress, which body is referred to a recent report
of the Tariff commission for guidance and au
thority. In his disquisition Mr. Wilson leaves
the impression that he realizes the difficulty
of squaring his life-long free trade habits of
thought with probk. s presented by new world
relations and the post-war domestic situation.
What he will find is that the republican con
gress will be quite as eager as himself to do all
the things that are necessary to restore our land
to the ways of peace, and to give solid founda
tion to all its progressive activities. Just as in
war the leaders of the party stood firmly for
America, so they will in peace. This may lead
to sharp differences of opinion with the ex
ecutive as to tariff and similar legislation, but
it is safe to predict he will not want for sup
port in sane and sober efforts to readjust home
affairs and bring peace and prosperity to all
the citizens.
Making Sunday a Day of Terror.
Sunday is to be a day of inconvenience and
terror in hundreds of Omaha homes this sum
mer. This has been decreed by the mayor,, act
ing in conjunction with the ice companies Ice
will not be delivered to any consumer, large or
small, in Omaha on Sunday, says the mayor.
It does not matter if we have experiences
such as were encountered last summer, when
temperature of 110 with a simoon blowing from
the south, was endured. Babies' milk may sour,
meat and vegetables may decay, and humanity
may suffer, but the sanctity of Sunday must not
be broken by delivery of ice.
Ice companies have neglected to organize
their business on a seven-day basis. Many es
sential industries or occupations are required
to give continuous service, and no good reason
may be shown why the furnishing of ice should
not be included in the list It is not asked that
men be compelled to work at this arduous em
ployment seven days a week; the remedy is a
simple matter of readjustment of the working
force, so as to keep the business going steadily
while each employe will get one full day's rest
in every seven. Others have done it, and the
ice men might.
It would be more to the point if the mayor
were to exercise his moral or legal powers to
secure the readjustment, rather than to serve
notice on those who can not carry over ice from
Saturday to Monday during the heated term
that they will have to go without the service
needed for their well being.
Disappointing the Democrats.
Nebraska republicans in congress played a
low-down trick on the enthusiastic Washington
correspondent of the Omaha Hyphenated. In
stead of leaping into the arena, tomahawks in
.hand, and making the house chamber . resound
with their war whoops, as had been so ex
tensively advertised by the local purveyor of
misinformation, Messrs. Kinkaid, Andrews, Mc
Laughlin, Evans, Jefferis and Reavis voted for
the party's choice for speaker and other officers,
and did their utmost to organize the body
along lines of such harmony as must squelch
the hope of the ousted incompetents, who
looked to a republican split as their only chance
of retaining a vestige of the power they have
so justly forfeited. You hardly would have
thought that men of such amiable and gracious
mien could do a thing so heartless, but they did,
and not one of. the revolts, uprisings, somer
saults or, other unseemly exhibitions predicted
came to pass. In fact, the whole aspect of con
gress on its opening day was a disappointment
to the democrats, which is sure to increase as
days go lj and the majority does all the things
it ought to do to bring relief to the country and
none of the things that will shed even a tiny
ray of light into the camp where only gloom
prevails.
President Ebert declares foreign countries
will assist Germany in resisting the "terms of
slavery" laid down at Versailles some of those
Germany so thoughtfully looked after when it
declared war on all the world and neutral as
well as enemy vessels came under the doctrine
of "spurlos versenkt." Herr Eebert will do well
to remember that the hand of the Hun was
lifted against humanity, and it is the world and
not the Allies that now seeks justice.
New York is to raise $40,000,000 by means of
a state income tax, if you want to know what it
costs to live in the Empire State. However,
most of- that will be contributed by folks who
have to go there on business. .
Germany has ignored the week of mourning,

A Working Eagle
From the New York Times..
Since the smashing of the dual monarchy the
double-headed eagle, symbolizing the union of
Austria and Hungary, roosts on the perch of
archaeological ornithology, youngest brother of
the dodo. The Austrian escutcheon, where this
perfectly appropriate image of the old double
faced policy of Vienna and Budapest so long
was rampant, is to be changed to suit the al
tered and humbler circumstances of German
Austria. . The German-Austrian Kovernment
has brought into Parliament a bill providing
tnat nencetorth the Austrian eagle shall be con
tent to wear but one head. It is encouraging
to see reform in German Austria, even if it takes
only the held of heraldry and symbolism. True,
the reformed eagle, though single-headed, re
mains more than a little singular. He is to
wear a crown. What does German Austria, re
publican, socialist, or sovietish, want of a king
bird, a king, or a crown? However uneasy that
aquiline head, the talons are to be, if more curi
ously, yet far more usefully kept busy. One
claw will hold a scythe, token of agriculture,
the other a hammer, token of industry. A
strange product of L'Art Nouveau, of which the
home and high seat was inaVienna. If Mr. Bar
num keeps communication by sychotelephone
with this oblate spheroid and hears of this bird
more marvelous than the griffin, must he not be,
in Dr. Holmes' phrase, "homesick in heaven"?
Looking back to Pannonia and Noricum, the
German Austrians may have some title to the
Roman eagles, but the legion eagle was reduced
to pigeon size. A pole carried the eagle, not
the eagle the pole. From the aesthetic point of
view a bird carrying a scythe and a hammer is
as anomalous as the most malicious Greek ir
regular verb; but Jove's eagle, grasping the
thunderbolt, was highly irregular, too. In con
sideration of the new purpose and the bourgeois
morality which this improved bird denotes, it is
more than easy to forgive the curious "derange
ment of epitaphs" evident in his attributes.
Here, as always in these cases of incongruity
and transformation, let us consult the one un
erring oracle, Sortes Carrollianae. And here is
the answer: "'Very true,' said the duchess.
'Flamingoes and mustard both bite. And the
moral of that is: "Birds of a feather flock to
gether." ' 'Only mustard isn't a bird,' Alice re
marked." Seriously, this scythe, however dangerous a
weapon in the hands of amateurs, and this ham
mer are welcome signs, so far as they go, of an
Austrian German resolve to turn away from the
everlasting military trumpeting and trumpery
and get to honest work. Not nearly so much as
the' North Germans, but still far too much, have
the Austrian Germans been obsessed by the
worship of militarism and dazzled by the eternal
procession of gold lace and froggings and
stripes and buttons. The most civilian of
chancellors had to wear a uniform. All Ger
many is a broad alley of preposterous princes
and generals and civilians, like Bismarck, in the
togs of war, 10,000 unnecessary persons who in
life probably tripped over their own swords
when they had to wear them. Let us hope that
the snobbish veneration of Pickelhaube and
sword is over in German Austria; that hence
forth the symbols of the majority of her peo
ple, her farmers and peasants and factory work
ers, will be honored in fact as they are to be
on her escutcheon. But the crowned eagle
should shed the crown.
Our Free Legal Aid
State your -case clearly but
briefly and a reliable lawyer
will furnish the answer or .

name will not be printed.
Let The Bee Advise You
Damages Caused by Chickens.
W. C. W. What remedy, if any,
does a property owner, living outside
or tne city limits or any lncorpor
ated city or village, have to keep his
neighbors' chickens from destroying
nis garden and grain growing upon
his own land? Can the owner of
the chickens be compelled to keep
them penned up or are the property
owners compelled to keep their
premises fenced 'chicken tight to
keep their neighbors' chickens out?
Answer I do not know of any
law requiring either party to keep
their premises fenced or to keep
chickens shut up, but the owner of
chickens who allows them to run at
large and to destroy the garden and
crops of other parties upon their
own lands is liable in an action for
damages for the damage done. You
should notify vour neighbor to keep
his chickens oft your premises or
inai you wu require mm to pay you
ror damages done by them.
Moral Regulation On a Peace
Basis
The ships bringing American soldiers home,
the floating of the last Liberty loan, etc., are
physical signs that the war is over. But there
are psychological signs as sure. An example is
the simultaneous outburst of diatribes against
dancing, women's clothes and the stage.
One minister pays his respects to the "moral
leprosy" of the drama and the "moral scaven
gers and filth-producers" responsible for it. An
other tales as his target, a recent public ball
under charitable and religious auspices, de
nouncing it as "paganism" and warning New
York that it will "have to pay the piper for its
folly and' sin;" for "the secularizing of the
Lord's day, the half-dressed women, the pagan
wining and dining." And at Atlantic City a
woman physician addressing the State Federa
tion of Women's Clubs deplored the vogue of
indecent gowns, immodest tight skirts, immoral
new dances and "unmentionable bathing shits."
Is not this a complete return to the peace
basis of social censorship? Morals, like laws,
may, be silent in war, but here we are back to
the old status of things where every prospect
pleases and only woman is vile. Ministerial and
other reformers may be congratulated on the
celerity with which they have demobilized from
war work and resumed the activities of moral
regulation. The campaigning promises to be
lively, from the vigorous beginning made. And
it cannot be gainsaid that there is need of it.
But what has come of similar moral thundering
in the past to make the public confident of its
purifying effect? New York World.
Occupations Open to Wounded
Wounded American soldiers who have been
assigned to reconstruction hospitals are given
two kinds of treatment, one curative, the other
occupational. "Sometimes it's an old occupa
tion ilke that of the boy who was a drafts
man and is preparing to resume his work.
Sometimes the artificial appliances supplied to
the disabled soldier enable him to master, in the
curative workshop, even such strenuous imple
ment as the anvil. Boys who were farmers
often elect, if badly crippled, a course in hot
house vegetable growing intensive farming
directed to cauliflower, lettuce, Brussels sprouts
and like luxury products, which yield profit for
a single worker.
"The list of possible occupations is long
chicken raising, stenography, electrical trades,
carpet and fine rug mending, moving picture
operation, welding, photography, carpentry,
telegraphy really, almost anything.
"And back of all the treatment and the trail
ing is the effort to make the disabled soldier
think of himself without sensitiveness or
self-pity; to help him face his 'handicap,' not
with 'resignation,' but with fighting courage and
a determination to put himself back in the regu
lar two-armed, two-legged world, doing all that
it can do." Everybody's Magazine.

Descent and Distribution.
C. and E. K. The title to our
home is in the name of our father
and mother Jointly. The property
represents the Joint savings of our
mother and father during their mar
riage. Our mother died a short time
ago and we wish to know if we have
any legal claim to a share in the
property. Our mother wanted us
children to have her share in the
property, but left no will and our
father is threatening to sell the prop
erty and take all of the proceeds
tnererrom. can he do this and have
we no right therein?
Answer The property in question
being the home of your father and
mother at the time of your mother's
death would, within the law of this
state, be a homestead which your
father can legally have the use and
enjoyment of during his lifetime, but
upon his death the mother's interest
would go to her children the same
as the father's interest. Your father
will not be able to sell this property
and give a good title without the
children Joining In the deed, as you
have a legal interest in the property
subject to your father's homestead
right. Your father probably would
not be able to sell the premises in
any event without having an admin
istrator appointed for your mother
and a decree entered by the county
court setting out the heirs and their
legal shares, which would no doubt
be subject to your father's home
stead right, but if he sells the prop
erty you are entitled to a share un
der the law.

bonds may be assigned in the same
manner as any other assignment
may be made with the exception that

So stand ya at the Atlantic's mist-bound
shore.
Ready to leap into the buoyant air
Ready to span, with wings outstretched
on high,
The ocean turbulent, 'neath the wind
swept sky.
Knights of the air, on high adventure
bound.
Our hearts with yours In unison do beat.
Faint not nor fear to risk the uncharted
way
And taste the glories of the risen day.
Like you, we, too, into the unknown

Dark clouds above and ocean waves af
fright, But all our paths are In the Pilot's sight.

The Tramps Take a Swim.
PEGGY and Billy sped across the

distance. They hoped to find a man
at home who would help to capture
the robber-tramps. But when they got
there, they found only a young gin.
She let them use the telephone, and
In a minute they had given the sher
for Hal's message. The sheriff prom

force of men with him.
"Wow! I can't stand the shock!"

'Now, I am going back to see if
I can aid Hal," said Billy.
"And I'm going with yog," declar
ed Peggy. And with him she went,
in spite of his urgings that she atay
safely in the house until after the
capture of the robber band.
They approached the river very
cautiously, creeping through the tall
grass and shrubbery as they neared
the thicket. Neither Harold nor the
tranps were in sight. From the edge
Of the river came the croak of Bull
Frog:
"Bad luck, bad luck. I'll hide In the
muck,
Tramps in bathing, oh luck, goodby
luck!"
"What a silly croaker Bull Frog
is," whispered Billy.. "Who ever
heard of tramps taking a bath."
"Maybe they do, onee a year," sug
gested Peggy. True enough, when
they peeped through the bushes,
there were three big tramps and
one small one splashing around in
the water. It took only a glance to
recognize the small tramp as Hal.
Even though he was swimming, he
carefully guarded his face from get
ting wet. He wasn't going to have
his tramp's disguise washed off.
"He, he! This water tickles!"
should one tramp, shivering as he
ducked under.
"Wow, wow! I can't stand the
shock!" wailed a second tramp
through his chattering teeth.
"You'll have to stand it and wash
up good," declared a third tramp,
whom others called Blinky. "Now
that we are rich we'll have to look
the part so that we can spend our
money without getting arrested."
"I believe I'd rather give up the
money and stay unwashed," cried
the first tramp, whom the others
called Slim Jim.
"We can make believe we are
eccentric millionaires I hear they
never bathe," suggested the secend
tramp, whose name was Round Rob
ert.
"Keep up your nerve. It will
soon be over and then you will not
have to touch water again until next
Saturday night," said Blinky. The
tramps looked so funny as they dab
bled themselves gingerly with the
water, that Peggy and Billy couldn't
help laughing. The three big tramps
acted as if the water were hot poi
son and as if it would hurt them if
it .touched them. As for Hal, the boy
tramp, he was swimming around
very happily, having a Jolly time
sporting in the stream.
"I hope they will stay in long
enough to give the sheriff a chance
to get here," whispered Billy to
Peggy. A low growl from the other
side of the bushes answered him.
"You can bet 'they'll stay in. I'll
see to that," said the growl.
Peggy and Billy peeped quickly
around the bushes, and there was
Johrniy Bull. He had gathered the
clothes of the tramps into a pile and
now stood facing the river, his Jaws
ready to grab the first tramp who
came out.
"Well, I can't stand any more of
this cleaning business," spluttered
Slim Jim.
"Neither can I. My skin feels as

Round Robert.
"Guess that will do for this time,"
cried Blinky, shaking the water out
of his eyes.
The three tramps stumbled toward
shore, and it wasn't until they were
almost ready to climb the bank that
they saw Johnny Bull. Then a low
growl from him caused them to
look up in a hurry.
"G-r-r-r-r. I'm hungry for a
mouthful of clean tramp meat,"
snarled Johnny Bull. "Climb out
here where I can get at you."
But the tramps didn't come out.
They stepped back. And as they
