J The Kansas City, Mexico & Orient Railroad
System is to be greatly extended in Mexico as
soon as the government can make arrange
ments to resume construction work. This is
the railroad that we once had pictured on paper
as headed for Omaha, and if it finally mater
ializes as a great railroad system it would
naturally reach out into this territory. It will
do no harm for us to keep an eye in that direction.
No Great Loss to Germany
V The loss of Alsace-Lorraine and of the Saar
fields would not be very serious to Germany
if production in the other fields were normal.
The Saar fields are now producing about 28,000
'tons per day, and the French are experiencing
' none of the difficulties that attend the operations
of the German mines. The Saar output can
easily be brought to 20,000,000 tons per annum,
and the output of the mines of Alsace-Lorraine
to 3,000,000 tons. Twenty-five million tons sub
tracted from 275,000,000 would not represent a
very serious loss to Germany, but 25,000,000
added to 40,000,000 would represent an enor
mous increment to France, exceeding her im
port of 1913. The coal of the Saar is of ex
cellent quality for furnace and coke ovens. The
loss to Germany rests rather upon geographical
than quantitative considerations. The coal from
the Saar went to the industries of the Upper
Rhine and to Bavaria; and if these are to be
supplied by Dortmund, a longer haul, this would
.represent a definite impost upon the industries
of. these sections.
. The future situation may be summed up in
one sentence. If German coal production re
covers its normal capacity, the loss of the Saar
and Alsace-Lorraine may be regarded as neg
ligible; if German coal production remains in
its present situation, the loss of the Saar and
Alsace-Lorraine mines is still negligible, be
cause the situation will be so bad that it could
not be any worse. World's Worty
MUNICIPAL ICE PLANT NOT A CHARITY
The Bee has called attention to the fact that
the concerted boosting of prices by the private
ice companies, gives the municipal ice plant an
exceptional chance to show what it can do to
supply the demand of householders at reason
able rates, but that to meet the demand ade
quately it would have to install a delivery
system.
Discussion of this subject evinces a peculiar
confusion of ideas. City hall spokesmen talk as
if a special duty devolved upon the municipal
ice plant to take care of the poor and to see that
there is no suffering by people who cannot af
ford to pay the higher prices exacted by the
private ice companies.
Now we submit that the municipal ice plant
is not an eleemosynary institution. It is no part
of the machinery of poor relief any more than
is the municipal water plant. If either of them
were, it should be handled by the poor authori
ties and the water or ice should be given away
without charge at all. The municipal ice plant,
if it has any justification, is a co-operative un
dertaking of the tax-paying citizens of Omaha,
to provide themselves with a necessary public
service on a reasonable cost basis. It is a
municipally owned and operated industry, con
structed with public money for the public bene
fit. It is a municipal ownership experiment that
can make good by Konly supplying Omaha
householders with ice as needed, not by. play
ing pig-tail to the private ice companies or by
doling out its ice to people who proclaim them
selves to be poor.
Let us get it straight, that Omaha's munici
pal ice plant is an actuality, that it can deliver
fhe goods with proper effort, that it is for all
the people and not a class, that it is a business
undertakiog,and not a charity.
Could Germany Have Won?
Some interesting extracts have been brought
to our notice from a book ust published in
Germany by Colonel Bauer, a high German
military authority, discussing the war from a
technical and historical standpoint, in which
he insists that Germany lost because of political
conditions at home and not because of military
impotency in the field. Quoting from the re
view of the book:
The initial plan of campaign, says the col
onel, was based on the conception of a rapid
victory in the west. This did not happen,
partly because of the "calamity that Moltke
was in the saddle at the critical time," and
partly because in 1913, through fear of the
Reichstag, the strength of the army was not
brought up to the arranged standard. The
battle of the Marne, with the subsequent
"probably entirely unnecessary retreat," gave
a tragic turning to a victory that was already
practically achieved.
The second phase (the driving back of the
Russians, the conquest of Serbia, the Verdun
offensive, and the defensive battles of the
Sonyne) could not lead to a military decision.
The third phase began with the assumption of
command by Hindenburg and Ludendorff, and
was characterized by far-reaching reorganiza
tion of the forces on the field and at home. It
comprised the brilliant offensives against
Roumania, Russia and Italy, and the collapse
of the enemy's offensive in the west. "Thus
at the end of 1917 Germany had reached the
summit of its military success, and when the
Russian revolution happened it was free to
seek a decision in the west with all its
strength."
The U-boat offensive was a powerful aid,
and might well have led to a decision by the
spring of 1919, although "it was introduced
with clumsy diplomacy, begun without suf
ficient technical preparation, and not pushed
with the requisite vigor." The war could have
been won but for the political collapse at
home, and the chief cause of that collapse was
the failure of the government to "realize that
only victory could end the war favorably for
Germany," and their consequent temporizing
with pacifism at home and their overtures for
peace.
The government and the crown sincerely
believed in the honorable intention of the so
cial democrats to be found and to support a
monarchy based on the people's will. Under
the influence of this illusion, they gave way
step by step until all was lost not merely
the monarchy, but Germany itself.
This is probably as good consolation as any
that can be fed to the misguided German peo
ple who find themselves the sorry victims of
their own vainglory and blindly submissive
acceptance of the Hohenzollern frenzy for
world power. Victory seemed within Ger
many's grasp more than once, only to be lost by
palpable mistakes, but victory in the true sense
of the word was never possible for Germany
because the German cause from the start carried
its own destruction. The marvel of the future
historian will be that Germany could go as far
as it did and hold out so long.
Teachers' Pride of Profession.
The ancient and honorable profession of
pedagogy seems to be falling into disfavor, in
this commercial age. The school board reports
that many teachers are quitting and going into
business callings. Many say they don't like to
be called "school ma'ams."
In recent years, one fault found with teach
ers was that they lacked pride in their profes
sion. It was not so in other ages and it is not
so to the same extent today in other countries.
He or she who taught the young idea how to
shoot has been looked up to as the leader in
the community.
"And still they gazed and still the wonder grew
That one small head could carry all he knew,"
is the way Goldsmith expressed this respect
and reverence with which the teacher was re
garded. It is true that teachers have been under
paid. Measured in mere money their services
should be valued higher. But the privilege of
engaging in the great task of moulding future
generations, of instructing potential presidents,
scientists, philosophers, business geniuses, is
surely worth something to her who looks upon
teaching as a great sertice to humanity as well
as a means of" earning a living. It has com
pensations which the keeping of the dry books
of business does not have.
Some years ago the prefession of acting was
in disrepute. It has been brought to a place
where it ranks with the best. The thing that
helped most to bring it 'there was the pride of
the actors in their profession. .
The teachers need that. Many of them have
it. Many have not. The womaft or man,
whether she is an abecedarian or a teacher of
the highest branches, if she realizes the im
portance of her work, will take high pride in
it. That pride will be communicated to her
pupils and others.
If the heads of our police department are
doing, as they say, the best they cn, they are
still not doing well enough to satisfy Omaha,
much less to fulfill promises made by them and
for them.
What We Owe Our Dis
charged Soldiers
By Maj. Gen. Leonard) Wood.
Appreciation of the work done by our sol
diers, sailors and marines in the great war can
best be shown by active measures to return
them to suitable civil employment upon their
discharge from service. It is a national duty
and one not to be shirked by a nation that
stands for justice and square dealing. Our sol
diers were sent to their training camps, to the
battle line, with every demonstration of a na
tion's appreciation of the sacrifice that these
men were willing to make. Now that the active
operations of war are suspended, we are in
clined to lose interest in those who made our
success possible. This is the time for the na
tion to show that it understands and appreciates
the sacrifices which our men willingly made
when they answered the call for national
service.
The 4,000,000 men inducted into the service,
less the dead, are being returned to their homes.
We must organize all lines of effort so that
every possible opportunity will be given them
to settle down happily in civil life. Some of
them we will find a bit difficult to handle, and
we must have considerable Datience with them.
They have been through a big experience. Some
are a bit unreasonable in a way, and perhaps it
is hard for them to settle down.
In seeing that they are returned to suitable
civil empoyment, and by that I mean employ
ment in which they will find contentment, we
will find it at times difficult to deal with them.
We must remember that many of these men,
before going in for the great adventure, had
never been far from home, had never seen the big
things of life, had never had the opportunity of
finding themselves. During their service in the
army they found out that all men were equal
except as distinguished one from the other by
such characteristics as physique, education and
character. They discovered that men who are
loyal, attentive to duty, always striving to do
more than required, stood out among their fel
lows and were marked for promotion. Natural
ly many of them now see that their former em
ployment will not give them the opportunities
for advancement which they have come to prize,
and for that reason they want a change. They
want a kind of employment which offers oppor
tunities for promotion. Many such men are
fitted for forms of employment which offer
this advantage, and they must be given the op
portunity to try to make good in the lines of
endeavor which they elect to follow. It is not
charity to give these men the opportunities for
which they strive. It is justice. Others are
not mentally equipped to take advantage of such
opportunities if offered, and with these we will
find it more difficult to deal. They must be rea
soned with, and directed if possible, into the
kind of employment best suited to their charac
teristics. We will find many of the men have tempor
arily lost efficiency in the lines of employment
which they followed before entering the service',
but for that reason alone they must not be de
prived of the opportunity to regain their effi
ciency in those lines, nor can they be offered re
duced wages during this period.
Our soldiers, sailors and marines offered
themselves for the great adventure. Many of
them have been through the great adventure,
in which they offered their lives to the end that
justice might prevail and the world made safe
to live in. Those who did not come face to face
with the great adventure nevertheless were
ready to do so, and it was through no fault of
theirs that they did not have the opportunity.
In training camps working from early morning
until late at night, fitting their bodies to meet
the physical hardships of war, fitting their minds
to meet the mental shock of combat, and in the
battle line under soul-stirring conditions, these
men stood ready to make the great sacrifice.
Let us remember that a square deal for our
honorably discharged soldiers, sailors and ma
rines will strengthen the morale of the nation
and will help to create a sound national con
sciousness ready to act promptly in support of
truth, justice and right.

Long-Term Endowment.
The last policy to be considered is
the long-term endowment, which
matures at age 62. The Insured
pays premiums on this policy until
he Js 62 years old, at which time he
receives the face value o( his policy
in a lump sum. This policy is pure
ly an old age policy. It provides ab
solutely for that period in life which
is so much neglected. Age 62 is a
logical time for an insurance policy
to mature, because this age marks
the end of a man's working days and
therefore he needs something to re
place his earning power. Statistics
prove that about one man out of 25
at this age Is independent, and .this
fact proves how essential it is for a
man to carry this type of policy. In
surance is a business that eliminates
the possibility of the loss of a man's
earning power. This earning power
may be lost either through prema
ture death, disability, or old age.
These are the three contingencies
that a man wishes to guard against
in insurance, and this long-term en
dowment, which matures at age 62,
meets every one of these three re
quirements. A man is very conser
vative by the time he reaches this
age and he is not apt to lose this
money in reckless speculation.
The yearly premium on each
$1,000 of insurance on the govern
ment policy is as follows:
Age 20.. .$17.01 I Age 30... $23. 74
Age 25... 19.85 Age 35... 29.30

' (Peggy. Billy and Mighty Bronie Genie
seek the Great Doctor to get new legs
for Lame Laddie. The Great Doctor is
accidentally knocked Into a deep pool, and
the Genie and Billy dive to the rescue.)
The Great Doctor's Promise.
Blub, blub, blub, rose the bubbles
from the spot where the Great
Doctor and the fat black cook had
disappeared Into the pool. Billy
and the Genie, diving after them,
came up promptly, Billy with his
hand clutching the negro's collar
and the Genie with his hand grip
ping the Great Doctor's hair. Judge
Owl, whose claws were so tangled in
the cook's kinky wool that he
couldn't let go when the black
plunged into the pool, came up
spluttering and gasping.
It took but a minute for Billy and
the Genie to bring the two half
drowned men to shore. There they
lay while the water poured from
their mouths. Judge Owl freed
himself from the robe in which he
was tangled and dragged himself up
the bank.
"Whoop! No more Jokes for me,"
he spluttered. "I always get the
worst of it when I play ghost."
The Great Doctor rose to his feet
and stretched out his hand to the
Genie.
"You have saved my life," he said.
"What can I give you in return."
"You can give Lame Laddie two
good legs sn he can run and play and
grow up into a strong man," prompt
ly answered the Mighty Bronze
Genie.
"No, no! Great Doctor is on his
vacation. He can't work," gurgled
the fat cook.
"Say, if you feel that way about it
you can go back into the pool and
get yourself out," declared Billy
indignantly. He gave the negro a
shove that sent him tumbling into
the water once more. But Billy Just
as promptly pulled him out again.
"Give him legs! Give him legs!
But let mo out ot this water!"
sphitit red the cook.
"of course, I'll fix up Lame Lad

Let Victims Assert Their Rights.
Omaha, June 6. To the Editor of
The Bee: When I read the frequent
reports of passengers being held up
as booze suspects and especially of
a woman who was humiliated and
scandalized by a booze-hound in the
Union station, I wonder why the
innocent victims do not sue for
redress both offender and his bonds
men.
For the benefit of such victims I
quote Article IV of the federal con
stitution as follows:
"The right of the people to be se
cure in their persons, houses, papers
and effects, against unreasonable
searches and seizures, shall not be
violated, and no warrants shall issue
but upon probable cause, supported
by oath or affirmation, and particu
larly describing the place to be
searched, and the person or things
to be seized."
In the years that have gone men
have fought and bled in defense of
their rights as herein defined. Why
should men and women now tamely
submit to such gross violation of

Halt on Police Outrages.
Omaha, June 6. To the Editor
of The Bee: It was once an axiom
of the English common law that it
is better that a dozen guilty men es
cape than that one innocent man
suffer, and as long as the interests
of the innocent are protected it will
be easy to suppress anarchy and or
ganized disregard for law, but when
the fountain is polluted at its source
it will be difficult to convince those
ignorant and selfish persons who
are at all inclined to violent actions
that a violation of the law by indi
viduals is more to be punished than
is violation of law on the part of
those whose sworn duty It is to en
force the laws.
The recent arrest and abuse of
Mrs. Thomas Brown is a case in
point. Without authority or war
rant a so-called "morals squad" at
the hour of 2 o'clock in the morning
drags a respectable woman out of
bed, the officer refusing to leave
her bed-room while she puts on her

Mexican and taking therefrom prac

his wife. The man was charged with
concealing stolen property. Not one
article found in his house was iden
tified as stolen when he was tried
and still the Hon. Charles E. Foster,
police magistrate, before whom this
man was tried and acquitted, posi
tively refuses to permit him to have
his wife's colthing. Since this ac
tion was started, other policemen
have visited the Mexican's place of
business, making domiciliar visits
without warrant in an apparent ef
fort to intimidate this man. Of
course the average citizen is not
interested in what may happen to
Mexicans, but the arrest of Mrs.
Brown may show the people of the
community just what they may ex
pect from the police force of Omaha
as at present organized.
How long will American freemen
permit such outrages to go unre
