The Fear 8 of the Young
Dr. Watson, one of the Johns Hopkins
psychologists, has been raising some interesting
, questions based on some laboratory studies of
children. His general conclusion was that many
( of the motions of children, especially their fears,
' which ar usually regarded as instinctive, are, in
fact, the result of training and frequently of too
' much "cuddling" on the part of parents. He
sustained his point by the experience of three
. children from a hospital who had been reared
as to receive practically no stumulus to their
emotions. None of those children were afraid
of strange animals. Little girls showed no fear
; of white rats placed near them and none of the
, children was afraid of the dark. Dr. Watson's
general conclusion seems to have been that
childish fears are the result of training and that
they may be and should be avoided.
Why should a child be afraid of a spider but
not of a snake? Why should a healthy little girl
. shiver at the sight of a butterfly? Why should
" a girl not be afraid of mice, but utterly unable
to remove a bug or worm from her clothinfc?
These and dozens of other puzzles will occur ko
people who have taught children.
Dr. Watson's theory that fears are implanted
by training does not go far as a guide for per
' pfexed parents. Some sort of training children
must have. A child must be taught not to
touch, a hot stove, not to le&n out of a window
and a' hundred other matters of self-protection.
Many other things it will learn by imitation of
its elders without any formal instruction. That
sort of training is inevitable., unless the baby is
to be brought up in a glass case. And more
, over such training is highly desirable. It gives
to the child so much" of tre experience of the
race as it is able to comprehend and apply. A
child is better equipped with it than without,
i even though in the latter case the child should
; escape the fear of mice, of dogs and of the
dark. The point for parents is to disciniinate
"between wise fears, which make for the child's
safety, and foolish fears, like that of mice, which
it is likely to pick up from its playmates or
urses. Brooklyn Eagle
VOTE THE ROAD BONDS.
Voters of Douglas county are called upon to
approve authority for a $3,000,000 bond issue, the
proceeds to be used in road improvement
In amount this is the biggest bond issue ever
asked for such purpose, or for any other pur
pose for that matter except to buy a public
service plant, but Omaha and Douglas county
are doing things on a big scale nowadays and
the big figures should not scare us off.
All must realize, if they do not already, that
a complete transformation of our transportation
methods is in progress, that we are almost over
from the era of horse-drawn wagons and car
riages to that of motor cars, trucks and tractors
and that present roadbed needs for the day-by-day
traffic are entirely different from what they
formerly were. Money put into temporary road
work or paving surfaces inadequate to this
traffic is money wasted, and it would be better
to do nothing unless we are prepared to build
roads that will meet future requirements.
Douglas county in years past has spent a
great deal of money on county road building
without satisfactory returns. If the $3,000,000
bond issue is now voted, the tax-payers who
foot the bills will have to see to it that there is
vigilant oversight over its expenditure and
make sure that this money is not also wasted.
They must, furthermore, insist that the selec
tion of the roads to be improved by paving will,
be highways promising the most benefit to the
in-and-out traffic of the city rather than roads
that benefit but a few or tend merely to raise
the value of tracts belonging to favored land
owners. The civic organizations that are back
ing the bond issue may, we believe, be relied on
to continue their interest to the proper expendi
ture of the money, and this should remove any
hesitation or reluctance to approve the bond
proposition.
Back to First Principles.
The police investigation discloses a peculiar
condition in which we see the commissioner
in charge of the police department actively de
fending the officers under trial for misconduct
and at the same time sitting as a judge in the
case. s
This anomaly apparently grows out of a
patch-work of laws superimposing our commis
sion plan of government on the old mayor and
council system. Under the old regime the po
lice were subject to a board of fire and police
commissioners, and the police board in turn,
accountable to the mayor and council. To safe
guard police officers from arbitrary action, they
were entitled to a hearing on charges before re
moval, and it is specifically provided that "this
provision shall not be construed to prevent per
emptory suspension of such member by his
superiors in case of misconduct, neglect of duty
or' disobedience of orders," and to prevent
needlessly prolonged suspension, the trial was
to be held at, the second meeting of the board
thereafter. In the case of a police commis
sioner charged with misconduct the council was
similarly to grant a hearing and reach a de
cision upon the testimony within a reasonable
time.
Tha absorption by the council of the powers
of the police board under the commission plan
and the assignment of one of the council to
superintend the police department has obviously
confused all the checks and balances, and
it is time to get back to first principles. If
the "police commissioner wants to be executive
head of the police department and share the
blame for all the misdeeds of his subordinates,
defending them as his own, he should not sit
as judge in his own case. On the other hand,
if'all the councilmen are to serve as judges in
these cases, the one assigned to supervision of
the police department should act as the law con
templates, only through his chief of police, hold
ing the chief responsible for the force under
him and keeping himself in position to be fair
and impartial in deciding on complaints that
come up to him. There is a time-tried and ac
cepted rule that no man can properly be judge
in his own case, and this applies to a city coun
cil acting as a court the same as to any other
judicial body.
A Questionnaire Unique.
It has been demonstrated as a result of the
war that there can be no such thing as a fifty
fifty American loyalty. In consequence of(a
resolution presented by a democratic member
from Texas and adopted by the lower house of
congress, we may have some light soon upon
the prevailing percentage range of obligations
to the government of pay-roll employes in the
hire also of private individuals or corporations.
The resolution calls upon the heads of each
of ,the government departments to report at
the earliest possible moment "the names of all
government employes of that department who
are also employed by any person, firm or cor
poration, the name of such employer, the hours
of service given to such employer and the
amount of compensation received by such em
ploye per month for "such outside service."
The inquiry is plainly aimed at some flagrant
abuses. In urging this resolution its sponsor,
Congressman Blanton, declared that he knew
of one instance where the head of an im
portant bureau, drawing $4,500 from the fed
eral treasury, was also paid a large salary by a
private concern to manage its Washington af
fairs and that the office and clerical force of
this concern had been housed in a government
building, with free rent, free light, free water
and free janitor service, paid for by the gov
ernment. He also claimed knowledge of nu
merous department appointees pulling down
large salaries from private concerns whose work
they performed during hours for which they
were paid by the government. To ascertain
the 'facts, a questionnaire is to be filled in by
the employes in the various departments an
swering specifically whether they are receiving
outside salaries, the names of their outside em
ployer and the compensation received.
If this procedure proves advantageous for
stopping these abuses in the federal govern
ment, why will it not point the way for like
action by our state, county and city govern
ments? A dual employment may sometimes be
unobjectionable, depending wholly upon the
kind of employment and whether one interferes
with the proper performance of the duties of
the other. When a private concern puts a
public servant on its pay-roll, it is fully aware
of that fact, but the employing public is not
consulted nor usually advised of it. In any
event, it will do no harm to know what public
officers and employes also have other positions
and to what extent there is possibility of con
flict between their interests and the public interests.
General French's Memoirs
London Times Synopsis of British Com
mander's Review of War Experiences In
Three Parts.
Lord French was told by Mr. Haldane as
early as 1908 that in the event of war with
Germany he would be asked to take command,
and he was asked to exercise his mind on the
problems of this task, which he did to the belt
of his ability. It does not appear, oddly enough,
that he took any part in the military con
versations that went on for many years be
tween us and the French, and the council of
war, which he attended on August S, the day
after oik declaration of war, seems to have bad
a singularly open mind about what was to be
done. Two subjects were discussed : what
should be the composition of the British ex
peditionary force, and, secondly, what should
be its point of concentration. There was an
"idea" that one cavalry division and six divi
sions of all arms had been promised, but our
obligation seems to have been very indefinite,
and it was eventually decided to keep two di
visions at home and to send one cavalry and
four infantry divisions. Equally vague were
the arrangements about the point of concen
tration, and it was dqceided to send for a French
superior officer to Acquaint us with the plans
of the French general staff. Apparently all
that had been decided in the conversations that
had been going on for years was'that we should
concentrate on the French left and detrain be
tween Maubeuge and Le Cateau. Colonel
Huguet came from France on August 10, and
there followed a debate whether these decisions,
vague as they were, should be revised or ad
hered to. Lord Kitchener thought our left would
be too exposed at Maubeuge and favored t con
centration farther back at Amiens. Sir Douglas
Haig suggested postponing any landing until
the campaign had actively opened and we could
see where our army could be most effectively
employed. Had Haig's plan been adopted we
should undoubtedly have co-operated not with
the French, but the Belgian army, and, apart
from other objections, our landing in Flanders
would almost certainly have been opposed.
Lord French supported the original plan of con
centration at Maubeuge, and his view prevailed.
Friend of the Soldier
Replies will be given in this
column to questions relating,
to the soldier and his prob
lems, in and out of the army. .
Names will not be printed.
Ask The Bee to Answer.
The Prime Error.
This uncertainty a week after the war had
.begun about these very fundamental questions
or our strategy creates a bad impression and
calls for a great deal of explanation. One rea
son given by Lord French is that we could
never get Belgium to say until the last moment
what she meant to do in the event of war Yet
another reason and it comes out over and over
again in the narrative is that while we knew
that the Germans would invade Belgium, we
never thought that they would come so far
west. A concentration at Maubeuge was mani
festly wrong if the Germans proposed to
invade by way of Brussels; it faced east, where
as the right direction should have been north.
"I had always thought that Germany would
violate Belgian neutrality, and in no such half
measure as by a march through the Ardennes,
which was what our joint plans mainly con
templated. I felt convinced that if ever she
took this drastic step, she would make the ut
most use of it to pour over the 'whole country
and outflank the allies.
"The principal source of the terrible anxiety
I felt took its root in the thought that we were
too much mentally committed to meet an at
tack from the east, instead of one which was
to come as it actually did. It reassured me,
however, to know that our actual dispositions
did not preclude the possibility of stemming
the first outburst of the storm so effectively
as to ward off any imminent danger which
might threaten northern France and the chan
nel ports."
The channel ports were, in fact, saved, but
no thanks to these original dispositions, but to
the blunder of the German high command in
not occupying and holding them. If we could
have counted on the enemy's committing this
colossal mistake and on the French winning the
battle of the Marne without us, -there might
have been much to be said 'for Haig's idea of
delaying a landing until the Germans had com
mitted themselves deeply into France.
Guard and National Army Returned.
Chief ot Start March has an
nounced that homeward movement
of national guard and national army
combat units from France is com
plete. Movement of regulars has
begun, the 6th division being on its
return. It must be remembered
that thousands of national army and
national guard men are still in
France as replacements in regular
army divisions or who went over
seas with or to replace quartermas
ter, medical service, and other units
in the A. E. F. services of supply.
Most of these men will be out our
ing June and July.
The First Division.
MaJ. Gen. James W. McAndrews,
General Pershing's chief of staff,
says that the First division will prob
ably be the last to return. With the
exception of the army of occupation
and some sections of the service of
supply all combat division divisions
are now out of France.
British Tactics.
Lord French was appointed to the com
mand on his South African record as a tacti
cian, and he frankly admits that he had never
envisaged a war of fixed positions.
"All my thoughts, all my prospective plans,
all my possible alternatives of action, were con
centrated upon a war of movement and ma
neuver. I knew perfectly well that modern,
up-to-date inventions would materially influence
and modify our previous conceptions as to the
employment of the three arms respectively; but
I had not realized that this process would work
in so drastic a manner as to render all our pre
conceived ideas of the method of tactical field
operations comparatively ineffective and useless.
Judged by the course of events in the first three
weeks of the war, neither French nor German
generals were prepared for the complete trans
formation of all military ideas which the de
velopment of the operations inevitably demon
strated to be imperative for waging war in
present conditions.
"It is easy to be 'wise after the event,' but I
can not help wondering why none of us realized
what the most modern rifle, the machine gun,
motor traction, the aeroplane, the wireless tel
egraphy would bring about. It seems so sim
ple when judged by actual results. The mod
ern rifle and machine gun add tenfold to the
relative power of the defense as against the at
tack. This precludes the use of the old meth
ods of attack, and has driven the attack to seek
covered entrenchments after every forward rush
of at most a few hundred yards.
"I feel sure in my own mind that had we
realized the true effect of modern appliances of
war in August, 1914, there would have been
no retreat from Mons, and that if, in September,
the Germans had learned their lesson, the allies
would never have driven them back to the
Aisne. It was in the fighting on that river that
the eyes of all of us began to be opened."
This is a singularly frank piece of self
criticism and disarms the only criticism of
French's generalship that is really valid name
ly, that he underrated the strength of defensive
positions and owing to his belief in the war of
manoeuvre persisted in his belief in making pre
mature offenses.

the unit he is in before we can tell
you where he is.
C. C. P. It is true that our records
do not show a 7th company in the
2d air service mechanics regiment,
but such a company may exist, and
the best information we can give on
it at this time is the reply directed

try with his organization.
Very Anxious, JL, M. H. You have
done all you can do. The adjutant
general of the army at Washington
is the only person who can give in
formation regarding individual sol

his illness, your son was left behind
when the 326th infantry sailed. It
is Impossible for us to tell where
he is. He will no doubt be returned
very soon.
Mr. Li. O., An Anxious Father:
Early returned of the 3d division is
not expected. In the regular divi
sions they are tilling up places of
drafted men and men enlisted for the
duration of the war by regular army
men as fast as possible. Drafted men
or men enlisted for the period of
war canot be held longer than four
months after peace Is signed.
V. S. . The 3U2d engineers reached
New York early in May, and all
members either have been mustered
out or will be very soon.

Washington, Monroe, Taft
Harrisburg, Neb., June 18. To the
Editor of The Bee: Why not make
It unanimous for Taft in 1920?
Some have sulked and some have
raved and a multitude have criticised
and found fault. Taft has calmly
stated wherein he differed with
what has been done during the last
two years, but he has always stood
four square for the "powers that
be" as they struggled against
tremendous odds In their efforts to
make the world safe for "life, lib
erty and the pursuit of Happiness."
Why not make William Howard
Taft the third of a great trinity
Washington, Monroe, Taft? Wash
ington was elected unanimously both
times. James Monroe carried all
the states at his second election, just
100 years ago next year. Why not
let Taft be the third man to be
president of the good old United
States of America, undivided by sec
tional or political animosltes? We
have poured money out like water
and'the blood of our boys, from the
north, south, east and west, has
been mingled on many fiercely
fought battlefields, why not take the
man who embodies the highest ideals
of American thought and elect him
unanimously? You may call this a
fool's dream, but you take it from
me it would be a million times better
for this nation, which we all love, for
us to fulfill that dream, than for us
to do what we are going to do if we
keep on in the direction we are
going today. EDWIN WARD.

sight that made them roar with
laughter. Red Beard had banged
right into a bee farm at the foot of
the cliff. On top of him came piling
his followers and the horses, all of
them smashing into hives and scat
tering them about.
Now it happened that in this par
ticular bee farm lived a bunch of
champion stingers. And these cham
pion stinpers didn't like to be dis
turbed. So when Red Beard and the
other Turks Invaded their peaceful
village and knocked their homes
about, the stingers got busy..
"Buzz-buzz-buzz-buzz-buzz!" arose
their war cry. Out they flew to at
tack the invaders. Then other cries
arose cries of smarting pain from
the Turks. The stingers stung and
the stung Turks howled. And as they
howled the Turks danced around and
beat the air frantically with their
arms.
Into the midst of this confusion
flopped the bandits, fresh from
Balky Sam's battering heels. They
knocked the legs out from under
the Turks and overturned more
hives, bringing into the fracas hun
dreds of other fresh stingers ready
to do battle.
In a minute the bandits were slap
ping themselves and beating the air
as frantically as were the Turks
And it happened that as they slapped
each other. That started them all
at the bees they hit the Turks and
hitting back and then the fur did
fly.
"Buz-buzz-buzz!" "Bangety-bangr-bang!"
With the bees stinging ai
fust as they could and with thi
Turks and bandits mauling one an
other It was an awful mixed-uj
mess.
But no one could stand those ho
stings very long; and soon botl
Turks and bandits were In full flight
with the horses galloping on aheai
of them.
"Ho, ho, ho!" roared the Bronst
Genie, laughing so hard that th
tears streamed down his cheeks.
"HI. hi. hi!" yelled Billy.
"Ha, ha, ha!" joined In Peggy.
"Hee-haw! Hee-haw! I told you
I would save you!" brayed Balky
Sam.
They were so busy laughing that
they didn't see the Turks and th
bandits come climbing up the cllfl
by a hidden path.
In f-v t. they never knew they wer
in danger until a swollen and badlj
slung head peeked around a cornel
and they heard Red Beard's plggj
grunt.
"Run!" shouted Billy. The Genii
picked up Peggy, and away they
raced along the shelf with the Turks
behind them.
(In the next Installment will b. to"ld
how the Turks and bandits como to
sticky finish.)
