Wonder if the Winnipeg strike has anything to do with this Medicine Hat weather we are getting. Mr. Wilson got a puncture on his way to St. Germain, but it was in an auto tire and no harm resulted.

Yes, all but one. The no-stop cross-continent aeroplane flight will be due before long. We'll be on the look out when they pass over Omaha. The watch of the Rio Grande has been re established, and this time it ought to he main tained till something is settled. Herr Hohenzollern has been allowed to read the treaty, and it is said he does not like it a little bit Another argument in its favor. The National War Garden commission has heeen dissolved. All right, let's call them some other name, but keep them at work for us. Paderewski pleads that the new republic of Poland is not responsible for the pogroms, and asks for an investigation by the Allies. Stop the murders first. Austrians opened their act in the peace con ference by complaining because they had been kept waiting. They need not worry; all that is coming will reach them soon enough. -The alleged student of the University of Nebraska who went to Kansas City to obtain liquor for commencement festivities has met a fate he deserved. He is in the hands of the police. Previous practice in the police department put officers under suspension whenever involved in serious misconduct charges to be restored when they cleared themselves. Seems to be different nowadays. -. The senate committee at least was informed that no collusion existed between the Postal Telegraph company and the Postoffice depart ment, in the matter of taking over the wires. But the point is how to turn them back. London policemen show signs of returning reason. They called off the strike and are pa tiently plodding their beats, guarding and up holding the majesty of the law with that sol emnity of mien attainable only by one of the gild. Critics of the NC-4 set out that the journey consumed twenty-three days, whereas a reason able trip by steamer only requires six. Yes, but the main thing is, it was accomplished. The first steamer trip was not a record in the point of time elapsed on passage. Interesting Odds and Ends The rat is is the only wild animal that lives under the same roof with man. Those who have to do heavy brain work re quire more sleep than the most strenuous man ual laborers, for the reason that the body re cuperates more quickly than the mind. Within the last few years the price of furni ture made of mahogany and walnut has almost doubled, largely because of the vast amount of these woods being used in the making of aero plane propellers. In the early days of the confectionery trade it was entirely in the hands of the apothecaries. Not until the beginning of the 18th century was the confectionery business separated from that of the apothecary, and sweets pure and simple began to be sold. The recent tumbling of thrones and crowns in Europe is not without historical precedent. Napoleon's downfall in 1814 emptied seven thrones, from Warsaw to Spain, and the wave of revolution in 1848 swept eight sovereigns, in cluding the pope himself, into exile. One pound of wheat is of far greater value as food than a pound of meat. A pound of wheat contains about 13 ounces of nutritive food, the remaining three ounces consisting mainly of water and fiber.. A pound of the lean portion of meat contains only four ounces of nutritive food. The newest of indoor sports is shooting at moving pictures. The old-fashioned shooting gal lery with its bulls-eye targets, its clay pipes, or its silver balls dancing on water jets is "out of date and doomed. One can now shoot at the naturally moving likeness of beast and bird or fven at columns of advancing infantry and cav alry. It is a fact not generally known that half a million cats were enlisted by Britain to help fight the Huns. During the second year of the war some one discovered thai cats have a deep rooted aversion to poison gas, and gave notice of its presence long before any human being had an inkling of the danger. So hundreds of thousands of stray felines were picked up in I .i.iriATi -nrl nfhrr r:lir and shinned oil whole sale to the front, tn addition to serving as gas .-letertcire the rats also rendered valuable IicId in the clearinr of trenches and dug-outs of rats 4 xaccaia . N WERE THE BURDEN BELONGS. . Spokesmen for Germany continue to protest that the burden being placed upon them by the peace terms is more than they can bear, that it means that Germany must work for decades to icome to get out from under the load, that the conditions imposed are barbarous and brutal and altogether beyond possibility of fulfillment. Foreseeing the answer that the burden should rest upon those who are responsible for it, these German apologists also keep repeating their de sire for an impartial inquiry into the causes of the war with a view to determining who is to blame, in the hope, of course, that by making people believe there was real provocation or that other nations were likewise at fault, the jus ticeof the decree of the peace conference may be questioned, and the case perhaps reopened. This is all for effect upon people possessed of short memories and unaccustomed to looking below the surface. Had Germany not made scraps of paper of its sacred treaties, repudiated its most solemn obligations, launched forth upon a program of world domination, deliberately thrown the brand of death and desolation over the face of all Europe, there would have been no war burden to. bear. The question now is not that of loading Germany down to hold it back on the path of progress, but to take the load off of the nations which would have been Germany's victims had the gauge of battle fallen the other way. It is not a question of Germany working for years for the Allies, but of relieving the allied nations of the necessity of working for Germany indefinitely to make good the damage and cost of four years of devastating war forced upon them despite every effort to avoid it. Had the Huns won out or secured an incon clusive peace, they might by skillful camouflage have so obscured the records as to satisfy those who sympathized with them that they had some plausible excuse for precipitating the world into the horrors of war. It is the irony of fate that Germany must -pull the yoke it fashioned for its enemies. Those pleading for Germany should have thought of the weight of the burden and the possibility of having themselves to carry it, before they made it so heavy. Republicans Are United. Our democratic friends are lashing them selves into a froth over what they call the "pro gressive surrender." If the senators they label progressives had voted against their party and enabled the democratic reactionaries to capture the senate organization, then the present soap chewing would be replaced by boastings of democratic excellence rather than admissions of patriotic sacrifice made by the senators who are now being abused for not aiding the democrats instead of preferring their own party. As the matter stands, the country and the world, too, should feel relieved because the republicans de clined to (divide their strength and permit the return of the democratic incompetents to power. Tremendously important problems confront the present congress, and as these overshadow in dividuals, so the duty of service comes ahead both of personal prejudice and difference of opinion as to party policy. That is something the demcjerats fail to comprehend. The people who handed the commission to the republicans, look to them to execute the trust, and this they can do only by working together and not apart. Liberty's Shrine in the Argonne. It was not the soldier but the man, whose heart was touched to its deepest core, who spoke when John J. Pershing closed his Memor ial Day talk at the Argonne cemetery with these words: Farewell, dear comrades. Here under the clear skies, on the green hillside and amid the flowering field of France, in the quiet hush of peace, we leave you forever in God's keeping. And as the guns crashed and the bugles sung in salute to the dead, a new shrine for Liberty was formally consecrated, dedicated far beyond human power by the sacrifice of the brave men who rest there. In the simple language of a sincere man, General Pershing voiced the respect of their comrades, while General Foch and General DeGoutte added brief tributes to the American dead. The ceremony is symbolic of the years to come, when that burying ground will bear testimony to the devotion of the American people to their ideals, and will be an inspiration, even to the French who have so gloriously and tenaciously defended their land and their homes. Others may draw from vit the lesson of unselfish sacrifice, of high de termination, and from their graves these dead American boys will speak to generations unborn the message of hope and encouragement. They did not die in vain. America Must Hold Its Wire Supremacy. While the telegraph and telephone service in this country has been slipping, or at best stagnating, with no prospect of improvement except the promise of the Postoffice department to turn back the lines within the year, the Brit ish authorities are already taking steps for im portant extension and betterment of their rapid communication systems. The biggest innova tion is to be the burying of the wires, not only in the cities as we have done at the terminals, but throughout their entire length. According to the prospectus one new underground line car rying 104 telephone and 56 telegraph circuits is to be put in at once between London and Man chester, and another with lesser equipment be tween London and Southampton. Branch lines and connections which have been held up through shortness of material during the war period are also to be built at once and the tele phone 'and telegraph system of Great Britain speeded up in its development as it never was before. It is plain that American , work with the telegraph and telephone here at home and more especially in the war zone has impressed the British with their own backwardness and that they are now going to try to catch up with and pass us. It behooves us, therefore, to bend our energies to improvements that will main tain our supremacy. Both the telegraph and the telephone are achievements of American inven tive genius and we will look to American genius and enterprise to keep us at the head of the procession. Everyone wants permanent world-peace, but unfortunately people differ as to the best way to bring it about and some even are uncon vinced that it is within the attainable. Under such circumstances is it any wonder that it is not going unanimous? Jupiter Pluvitis took considerable liberty with the opening hours of Juno's favorite month. These family troubles in high Olympus make a lot of inconvenience fojr mortals. Getting Back to Civil Life From the Philadelphia Ledger. The men in America's service in war often looked on their return to "God's country" and to the peaceful old life they knew much as lost souls in hell according to theologians of past times were supposed to gaze at the gates of heaven. They could think of no happiness greater than that of doffing the trappings of war for the habiliments of peace and going back to work at the good old job. Now that they are back, with all their de served honors thick upon them, and now that the process of demobilization is every day re turning many of them to civilian costume and custom, it is not the exceptional but the general experience for a man to find himself lost ill at ease restive and positively uncomfortable in the life of peace, to which he thought he would slide back so easily.. His work brings him within four walls again, out of the open. To be sure, the out-of-doors was often made intensely horrible for the sol dier by the damnable contraptions of the Ger man. He could not retire to his dugout secure against the gas or flamcrojector. But at the times when it -was not poisoned or blackened the air was fresh and the life was as free as mili tary duty permitted. In the camps at home the bugles blew for all sorts of things at all sorts of hours, and a man had to turn out for a great variety of ex ercises not when he liked, but in concert with a mighty host who must synchronize their move ments. That was not liberty. It was nothing like liberty. The men concerned were temporarily giving up their liberty that they might gain liberty for all the rest of us. At home or abroad, individual prerogative and initiative were sacri ficed for the greater good of the greater num ber that came of concerted action. But whether in cantonment here or in the held over there, the men were members ot a great machine of quick action and alert de cision, which to a great extent did their think ing for them. They were in the groove of routine. They did not come by their daily bread by their own business. They got about $30 a month and their "keep," in place usually of the very much larger sum which they had made for themselves by their own enterprise. Now that they have returned, there is nothing auto matic, nothing self-determining, about the days regimen. They are thrown entirely upon their own resources, and no longer upon those of a vast, complex military establishment mechanic ally functioning to make provision for them. No wonder it takes time to effect the ad justment! No wonder that many men feel strangers though at homel There is a curtain of blood and fire and hurtling shells between the present life and the past, between today and yesterday. It is part of your proper concern and mine to ease the transition as much as we can, to make our sympathy felt, to hold the doors open, to be a little indulgent to those who have stepped out of a world of sharp command and instant obedience to our easy-going, un imaginative and even unsympathetic sphere that, humming the tune "The War is Over," goes blithely about its appointed tasks so soon for getting its hero worship and the wounded men. Surely after all they did for, us we must be mindful of them and try in all ways to reconcile them to their present surroundings. Government Money in Railroads The $1,200,000,000 asked of congress by Di rector General Hines for the railroad adminis tration is additional to the $500,000,000 appro priated for the railroads last year. These are large sums of money. Their total just about equals the cost before the war of running the entire federal government for two years. How such huge requirements now arise on account of the railroads alone is not made precisely clear. Mr. Hines hastens the assur ance that the roads "should" be able to pay back the $1,200,000,000 in time. This is because the money would be spent on capital account and not for operating deficits. But there is no great certainty on this point. We are only certain that the $500,000,000 has been virtually spent already and no part of the sum will ever go back to the government. It measures the amount by which the net income of the roads fall short of the guaranteed rental to the roads during 1918 and up to May 1 of this year. Yet more than half of this deficit of $500,000,000 accrued during the four months of the present year. And that deficiency continues with little sign of abatement. What are the di rector general's reasons for supposing a good part of the additional $1,200,000,000 now asked for will not go the same way before the. year is over? It is made clear, however, that the govern ment will have become a large creditor of the roads by the time they are returned to their owners. This is important. It must weigh with congress in the reconstruction of the regulative system which has concededly become impera tive. New York World. An Unwashed Plutocracy Either there is a well, a prevaricator loose in Boston, or it is time for the Massachusetts State Board of Health to "get busy" in that home of the cranks. One of these latter a doctor who writes books is proclaiming a theory that health may be promoted by the abolition of the bath and the adoption of various other things. As an evidence of the soundness of his theory he declares that he has made con verts to his down-with-the-bath cult in the sa cred precincts of the Back Bay. We don't believe that for a minute. If he had said that dozens of wealthy women in that home of luxury have adopted his theory of draperies without underclothing, or that those women were eating "coarse grains" the bean is not a grain, but a legume in the hope of reaching this doctor's ideal age of 110, we might have accepted it. The great Bronson Alcott be lieved that only those fruits of the earth were healthful which "aspired" he ate apples and pears, but refused potatoes; cabbages he could swallow, but not carrots. After that discrimina tion almost anything is possible from the home "l fads; anything, indeed, except the abolition of he bathtub. Brooklyn Eagle. I T O D A V The Dey We Celebrate. Jacob L.

These policies run for various periods of years but probably the one best known as the 20-year endowment. This policy is one on which the in ured pays premiums for 20 years and at the end of that time, he receives the face value of his policy in a lump sum. On this policy, the in sured not only pays for protection, but he has to add enough to that to build up a savings fund which will amount to the face value of his pol icy at the end of 20 years. Because of this fact, the 20-year endowment policy is a very expensive policy, al though it is probably the most talked of policy of all, yet In a vast major ity of cases, it is the least practica ble. It is & good policy for young men making large salaries who are unable to save, because this policy loads them down with a heavy prem ium and compels them to save. It will teach them to be thrifty. It is also a good policy in a business sense for the man who is looking forward 20 years and has a definite place for this particular sum of money that he expects to receive at that time. But this policy has some very ser ious objections, especially for young men. In the first place, it matures wherfttSsey are too young. It leaves them without insurance at a time In their lives when they will still need insurance but they either have to pay a very high premium rate for a new policy at that.age or they will be unable to secure" another policy because of some physical defect. It also matures at an impracticable age except for the man who is carrying it purely as a business policy, because the average man is at the height of his career from 40 to 55, and usually does not need a policy to mature during those years. The yearly premium on each $1,000 of insurance, on the govern ment policv is as follows: Age 20, $39.10. Age 25, $39.35. Age 30, $39.69. Age 35, $40.28.

The Scared Negro. THE Mighty Bronze Genie pranced and galloped like a race horse, giving Little Lame Laddie a thrilling and exciting ride on the way toward Great Doctor's camp. The re sult was that he soon got all out of breath. So did Peggy and Billy, and mey were glad to throw themselves down on a grassy bank beside the river where the Genie stopped for a short rest. Lame Laddie was filled with glad wonder. He had never before been in the woods and all about him were things that surprised and delighted him. "Rattelty, rattelty, how do you do?" cried King Fisher in his funny voice. "How do you do!" answered Little Lame Laddie with a smile. Then he grew wildly excited as King Fish er suddenly dived into the deep waters of the river. "Oh, he has fallen into the water! He will be drowned!" shrieked Lame Laddie. Billy Belgium laughed. "Why, King Fisher Is only fish ing," he said. "Watch him come up." Just then King Fisher struggled to "Save Me! Save Me!" be shrieked.

"Look at Blue Heron out there at the ode of the woods," answered Peggy. Pino Heron was standing perfect ly still. Then down flashed his spearlike beak, and when ho raised it there was a squirming flsh held fast. "What fun! T'd like to en Ash ing cried Lame Laddie. "So on hall," declared the Mighty Bronze (Jenle. "J have a hook and line in my pocket, and if Billy Bel gium will cut you a pole we will fix you up in a jifly." Billy picked out a slender branch of a tree and trimmed it into a pole, , while Peggy dug bait with a sharp stick. The Genie fastened the line I to the pole and showed Little Lame Laddie how to fish. , "Now, you can stay here fishing ! while we look for the Great Doc- ' tor," said the Genie. "I'll tell my birds to look after , you," said Peggy to Lame Laddie, i She called to the birds, and they I came flocking to her from all direc- 1 tions.

"That's the black man I scared i last night when he thought I was a ghost," chuckled Judge Owl. "I'm going to scare him again," and the judge slipped quietly into one of the tents. Hello! Where's the Great Doc tor?" asked the Genie of the negro. "None of your business! He is on his vacation," growled the negro, not looking up. "But we want new legs for a Little Lame Laddie. How much will the doctor charge?" asked Peggy. "His smallest fee is $1,000," Lgrowled the cook, still not looking up. "Geewillickers, I can't raise a thousand dollars," gasped the Genie.

To the Editor of The Bee: I am pretty sure that the Lusitania was the first ship that Germany sunk for the United States. What is the name of the second ship? What are the dates when these ships were sunk? How many United States ships did it sink before the United States en tered the war? Thank you ever so much for the Information. E. P. Answer The first American ship sunk by the Germans was the 'Wil liam P. Frye on its way from Seattle to Liverpool with a cargo of wheat. The vessel was sunk after all hands had been removed. The Lusitania was not an American, but was a British ship. Altogether the Ger mans are charged with illegally sinking 20 American vessels before the United States declared war on uermany. The list is too long to print. , but it does not rollow that they wish to become citizens of an international league that bids fair to become the greatest trouble-maker since the serpent deceived Eve in the Garden of Eden. Taft tells us the league will not meddle with our domestic af fairs, but he is proved in error by finding our greatest domestic ques tion, i. e., the labor question, already in the league. Wilson assure us that the world has changed and the na tion will operate under the league on the Golden Rule plan, but the worst trouble with our president's proph ecies is that they never come true. Our people will do well to get all the information of the league they can, but they should steer clear from propaganda-boosting. A. C. RANKIN. TXiyx&TED V IRON 0 no.

Oxford, Neb., May 30. To the Editor of The Bee: If as Wilson and Hitchcopk say, a great majority of our people are for the league of nations, why all this propaganda to create public sentiment in favor of the senate swallowing it whole with out amending it for good, or detach' ing its blundering errors? The peo ple have had a long wait for even a synopsis o the peace treaty and surely it would be wisdom for them to hold their verdict now until the official copy is received and discussed by the senate, which is the consti tutional body to pass upon treaties. who Is furnishing the money to finance this gigantic press bureau and gallery speaking tour for the league of nations? Why is it that every man who dares to raise his voice to warn his countrymen of the dangers to our government that lurk in the league has to be maligned as a reactionary and a political wire puller, as well as a heartless wretch who would take delight in seeing the world plunged into future wars? The fact that the senate was not consulted and, up to date, has not been fully- advised of all the entangling al lances Wilson has promised for our government is positive proof that the league is not a democratic measure; that it is neither open nor being openly arrived at and also that "self- determination of our people is aa journed. If ever there was a tirn for oui citizens to keep cool and think clear and hard, that time is now. It is no small matter to dethrone our con stitution, which has stood the test of war and peace and proved elastic enough to safeguard our interests. yet by no right construction does it sanction establishing a White House In Paris, nor does it offer one Jot of power for our president or congress to delegate away our rights to a for eign league. We entered the war for no such purpose; but instead, to pre serve our constitution -and redress the murders committed on our citi zens by Germany. Senator Hitchcock has., deserted his post of duty at Washington to go out and manufacture sentiment among the people that they may bring pressure on the senate to sup press their opposition to foreign, en tanglements. This is in direct oppo sition to the president's proclama tion that it should not be discussed till its final terms are known. Hitch cock declares that the senate will be forced to ratify the combine, as- the league and treaty has been so in terwoven that the senate's refusal to ratify or attempt to amend tll leave us out in the cold without any earthly hope of peace. It may be a coincidence, but that corresponds with the ideas expressed by Wilson when writing of the president's lim ited power in making treaties he ex plained how the trick could be turned in the following words: "The president's only power of compelling compliance on the part of the senate lies in his initiative in negotiaton, which offers him a chance to get the country into such scrapes, so pledged in view of the world to certain course oi action mm me senate hesitates to bring about the ap pearance of dishonor which would follow its refusal to ratify the rash promises or to support the indiscreet threats of the secretary of state." la it any wonder that Senator Boiah is alarmed and calls his col leagues to forset vote-getting and xtand for the cause of true Amer icanism?
