' A tense detective story is diverting summer reading. Readers of The Bee will have a good one in "The Woman jn Black," soon to start as a serial in our columns. Over in France the police prefect in whose district the stoning of the German peace com missioners occurred was promptly canned. They do it differently over there. Berlin went without newspapers lor 48 hours. Considering events that are going on now, it seems the Germans might be happier without reading the newspapers. 7 Mr. Burleson guessed wrong again. His eleventh-hour prediction of conversion to the principle of collective bargaining failed to square him with the Federation of Labor. i , The war, we are told, has put an end to the leisure class in Europe which used to be the patron of art, science and culture, and the re sponsibility for saving the situation has been passed over to America. Art follows financial supremacy. We are it and must front. Tips for their instructors to supplement the inadequate pay of college professors is sug gested by a Harvard students' paper. Wouldn't that be fine! And the boy dropping the big gest contribution in the box should Te entitled to the best examination marks and the cum laude on his diploma. English the World-Language St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The latest editions of dictionaries of the English language published in the United States contain more words than are found in French, German, Italian and Spanish combined. A great increase has come with the advance in applied science. Take, for example, the sub ject of electricity or, in a lesser degree avia tion. It would be wastage to have in every language a separate lexicon for new terms ren dered necessary by the development going for ward along new lines. These changes are rapid and it would be foolish to cultivate a confusion of tongues in dealing with them. The com merce of the world, it is clear, will be prepon derantly carried on by the nations that speak English. In international financial affairs the English-speaking races will be distinctly in the lead. English is more prominent than any oth er at the Versailles peace table. It is the tongue of two of 'what' are called the Big Four in the weighty negotiations. In its dreams of world domination the German government required English to be taught universally in its public schools. An educated German is , rare who lacks a working knowledge of English. Thli entire wqjld may rest assured that the English language is worth while. It is itself a composite, but with a virile, admirable founda tion of its own FALSE BASIS OF SYMPATHY .STRIKE In refusing to aid or countenance the pro posed one-day general strike, planned as a labor demonstration in behalf of Mooney, con victed. of complicity in a San Francisco bomb throwing plot, the American Federation of Labor has taken a stand which will commend it to all sober-minded people. This action shows that conservative labor leaders under stand the false basis, or rather lack of basis, of the so-called sympathy strike. If there is justification at any time for a strike, it is when it is undertaken to redress the particular grievances or enforce the special de mands of the workers who resort to this method of "persuading" their employers. But for men to quit their tasks and go on a strike to emphasize their opinion that a twice-convicted prisoner has not had a fair trial, is a far fetched proposition. In principle, however, the sympathy strike is the same when workmen without grievances and receiving satisfactory pay become voluntary idlers in the'thought that they are helping out other workers who have gone on a strike to bring their employers to time. All strikes are costly to all con cerned, but the sympathy strike inflicts its damage upon those who are not at fault, upon the employer who treats his workmen right as well as upon the employer who abuses his po sition, and also upon the workmen and their families, who have no complaint of their own. Every wage controversy or labor trouble should stand or fall on its own merits. To be sure, there ought to be a better way to ad just such disputes than by stopping the wheels of industry while the workers go on a strike, but multiplying strikes as a sign of sympathy is not apt to be helpful to. labor's cause and the brainiest leaders of organized labor clearly see this. The World's Power to Absorb Gold. That there will never be a limit to the world's power to absorb gold, is quite evident from the unceasing flow of the stream without any back-flow, regardless of its ups and downs. According to a recent statement, coming from a British source, the total annual increase of the world's supply of gold is in round figures $450,000,000, of which $300,000,000, or two-thirds of it, is produced within the British empire. It must be remembered, however, that the British empire is a collection of widely scattered ter ritories in all parts of the globe, and despite its control of .production, Britain can have no monopoly of the gold supply, for the greatest accumulation of gold in any one country is in the United States. ' What the war has done is to bring about a very noticeable redistribution of the gold hold ings of the world, which the peace treaty, through its financial arrangements, will tend to confirm. The countries left poor by the war will require a long time to acquire anything like their former proportion of the gold used in commerce and for the arts, and the danger is not that there may be no call for gold, but that the high cost of mining as against the de preciated value of money may check the vol ume of the output. This is one place where the operation of the law of supply and demand is bound to be effective, slow though it may be in working the result. General French1 $ Memoirs The Army as a School. As was naturally to have been expected, the drive to recruit an overseas peace army of 50,000 volunteers for post-war duty, is not going as fast as it would have gone under the stimu lus of a prospect of actual fighting, but good progress is being made and there is no reason why the object should not be attained within the two weeks set as the time limit. While our war experience may not have popularized military service as a permanent oc cupation, it has demonstrated the benefits of two or three years in the army for physical development, salutary discipline, broadening ef fects of travel, and opportunity for valuable training along special lines. The new military service is a short college course in practical work at the expense of Uncle Sam, which would otherwise be secured only at considerable cost in time and money. The army is no longer the place for down-and-outers who do not know where else to turn, but is to be a school for ambitious young men who want to make use of it as an avenue leading to desirable oc cupations. ' If these facts can be brought home to the people, there should be no serious difficulty in overtopping the mark. of 50,000 volunteer re Taxes That Should Be Repealed. Congress is still sticking at the repeal of the so-called luxuries taxes, the chief argument against repeal being that these taxes are not burdensome and the people from whom they are collected can well afford to pay them. It goes without saying that what constitutes a luxury is wholly a matter of definition de pending on viewpoint for what are now com monplaces were. the rare possessions of the fortunate few only a few years ago. One of the axioms of political economy is that a tax is a bad tax when it imposes un necessary inconvenience or annoyance on those who pay or is excessively costly of collection. The worst feature of the luxury tax inflicted by the last revenue law is the multiplicity of bookkeeping and billing it saddles upon the merchant, which is merely accentuated in the little articles, like soft drinks and ice cream cones, on which the tax scarcely equals the cost of accounting. If Uncle Sam really needs this revenue, which is' doubtful, he should de vise a less pestering way of getting it. N. B. And what we , say of the so-called luxury tax applies a thousand-fold to the in excusable dual system of mulcting the news papers and periodicals by a two-rate postage exaction one rate on that part of the paper sheet covered with reading matter and a higher rate on that covered with advertisements. The. California raisin crop is reported the largest in history. Great news for believers in the potency of that concoction in whith one raisin is supposed to supply the "kick." J Descriptions of Willard and Dempsey lead to the conclusion that they are cdmposites of Chevalier Gerard, Hercules, d'Artagnan, George Washington and Teddy Roosevelt. Six French fencers were defeated by an American lieutenant before the Paris Fencing society. Is there no limit to what these Amer icans may get away with? I ( London Times' Synopsis of British Com mander's Review of War Experiences In Three Parts. II. Lord French is a man of strong personal likes and dislikes, and he reveals them in his narrative with extraordinary freedom. Joffre he admired and got on well with: to French he is one of the supremely great leaders or his tory. Of the late General Grierson and of Sir Henry Wilson he speaks in the warmest terms, tnat snows that it he can blame he also knows how to praise, and has sympathies as strong as his dislikes. General Sordet, about whom the wildest rumors were current in this country on the strength of a single passage in the official report on the retreat from Mons, is the subject of the warmest eulogy. Lord French, at his first interview with Joffre, immediately after landing in trance, had asked that bordet s cav airy should be put on his left flank (for which he was so anxious from the first), and that it should be put under the British command. To this second request Joffre did not accede (at that-time there was not on either side any ques tion of a united command), and though he agreed to the first request there was apparently some delay in conveying the instructions to Sordet. that was the sole cause ot the slight and very temporary friction between French and Sordet, for whose work he had the highest admiration. The only French general with whom Lord French could not work was Gen eral Lanrezac, the commander of the Fifth French army on our right flank. Lanrezac he found lacking in courtesy and a pedant, and half the narrative of the early days is an ac count of his disagreements with him. The most dramatic passage in the narrative is Lord French's account of the hopes with which he went to bed on the 21st, and of his motor ride on the morning of the next day, in which he discovered that Lanrezac was already in full retreat. As though that shock were not enough French received another in the form of a re quest from Lanrezac that the British should attack the German flank to relieve the German pressure. Lord French's strictures, though severe, are just, and Lanrezac was afterwards replaced by Franchet d'Espercy. But it is characteristic of the ' fairmindedness of the British general that with so many grievances against Lanrezac he should still recognize so warmly the "extreme brilliancy" of the Fifth army's counter attack later at Guise during the retreat. The Mistake of Le Cateau. Lord French avoids any detailed description of battles, and the chief 'interest of his chapters on the retreat from Mons is his severe criticism of General Smith-Dorrien for fighting the bat tle of Le Cateau against his instructions, which were to retreat. These, instructions were car ried out by Haig, whose conduct of the retreat was masterly, and Smith-Dorrien was not in any appreciably worse position, indeed, had greater inducement to avoid delay because he was on the exposed left flank. "Colonel Ansell, commanding the Fifth Dragoon Guards, one of the finest cavalry lead ers in the army, who fell at the head of. his regi ment a few days later, gave information to Gen eral Allenby at about 2 a. m. regarding the na ture of the German advance. This seemed of such great importance that the latter at once sought out Sir Horace Smith-Dorrien and warned him that, unless he was prepared to con tinue his march at daybreak, he would most probably be pinned down to his position, and would be unable to get away. "Sir Horace asked Genieral Allenby what, in his opinion, were the chances he had if he remained and held the position, ad'ding that he felt convinced his troops were so exhausted as j to preclude the possibility of removing them tor some hours to come. Atlenby's reply was that he thought, unless the commander of the Sec ond corps made up his mind to move at day break, the enemy probably would succeed in surrounding him. Nevertheless Sir Horace de termined to fight." In this battle we lost about 14,000 officers and men and 80 guns. That the army escaped at all Lord French attributes to the work of the cavalry under Allenby and Sordet. The battle, moreover, made the rest of the retreat more arduous and destroyed all chance of making an 'effective stand behind the Somme or the Oise. The whole narrative shows that so far as the Second army was concerned there was a great deal more truth in the Times dispatch than in the contemporary official accounts. Le Cateau did temporarily break the Second army, and Lord French's own dispatch at the time is largely to blame for the misunderstanding of the situation in this country. In this dispatch he seemed to exculpate Smith-Dorrien for fighting at Le Cateau, and he now explains that when he wrote it he was ignorant of the sup port rendered by the cavalry and accepted Smith-Dorrien's own estimatee of the position of the German forces opposing him. But he denies vigorously that headquarters ever gave a tacit consent to the battle. (Continued Tomorrow.) Ringer's Claims as, a Republican, Omaha. June 16. To the Editor of The Bee: I notice by your edl torial of today that you mention the fact that City Commissioner Ringer had "called you down" for criticizing his administration on the ground that he is a republican. That might be all right if Mr, Ringer had always "toted fair" in politics himself. I strongly supported Mr. Ringer for city commissioner even in face of the fact that he used the so, called "open primary" to break my back in the race for police judge of South Omaha a number of years ago, Mr. Ringer brought out a democrat as a stool pigeon candidate for the nomination and he got Just enough votes to beat me for the nomination, for a change of about 20 votes would have nominated me. I did not con sider that I was under any earthly obligations to support Mr. Ringer for city commissioner, but did so in the hope that he might make a suc cess of the office that he so strongly asked for. I am not now criticizing his administration, nor am I up holding it. I am simply on the fence awaiting the final outcome. I did not consider it fair to the republicans of South Omaha that Mr. Ringer brought out a democrat for police judge and by that means forced the nomination of a man who was doomed to defeat from the day he was nominated for police fludge on the republican ticket. i Ringer secured about 100' votes for his democratic candidate from republicans, of whom more than two-thirds would have voted; for me. I am not such a hide-bound partisan that I do not at times vote for candi-. dates on the democratic ticket for office, but I do think that no demo crat has any business running on the republican ticket, nor has a repub lican any business running on a democratic ticket. For that heason I oppose any open primary. There is one thing I do object to besides I do not think it is right or Just to the people of Omaha to import men to hold down city jobs from other cities. There are plenty of capable men In our own city to hold the of fices, and they ar the ones who should be considered. It would not be right for us to im port a president from. Paris, for we have one there now; nor Is It right to import men for city Jobs for a city of 200,000 inhabitants, from Chicago or any other city of the country. Mr. Ringer ought show a little political consistency before making criticism of others in that line. FRANK A. AGNEW. Making Friends We like people instinctively, rather than by deliberate choice, and we like them because they help fill out our own natures. Sometimes we look over our list of friends and wonder why there is such diversity among the members. It is because we are many sided ourselves, and two persons who 'fit well into our own lives may not have any points of contact with each other. If we give thought to our friends, one by one, we can often discover why we like them we can isolate the quality that attracts us to them. When we have found that we will also find our friend has this quality without being so aware of it that he makes a boast of it. When our friends begin to take the attitude that they have some quality we need we drop them. While they are unspoiled in those bits of char acter that help ours we like them. When they become self-praising in those elements they lose their attraction. The people who are friends to so many others are those who can't account for it they are unspoiled in their possession of good qualities; and they are fortunate, indeed, if they continue to be natural. We like people we can trust, we make friends with those who fill out our own characters and we trust those who are natural. If you find that you are losing your friends look into your own mind and see if you are not losing some of the naturalness that brought those friends to you. Toledo Blade. Single Track Minds. Potter, Neb., June 17. To the Edii;r of The Bee: One of the most silly attacks on our president in connection with his noble task of having a league of nations es tablished was made in The Bee's Letter Box by one George Henry Caigue. In the first paragraph this worthy critic accuses the president of using "arguments which are "characteristic" in defending his "theories," but is not able to give something better. His smallness is shown by the fact that he would have the president use "arguments" to defeat the very purpose for which he is laboring in France. Then our worthy critic has some where read the phrase, "single track of mind," applied to the president, but does not show in what manner the words of the president which he quotes indicate a single track mind. But, in the view of the writer, it would have beenbetter for G. H. C. to have had "a single track of mind" and the absurdity into which he plunges himself would not have oc curred. For look at what he says: "Posterity" says our presidential protagonist, (kindly tell me what that means), "will acclaim my sen timents as the absolutely right ones," a statement that Mr. Wilson has no more right to make than any ot the other 100,000,000 of the citi zens of this country." Granted! But has he not just as much right to make such a statement and has he denied this right to anyone? But that is not the only absurdity, for nearly in the same breath he speaks the same manner of thought in these words: "The present generations that will have to fight the wars in which the league will embroil us." Is our worthy critic of our president not here dealing with things of the future, things of which no one can know anything about? Of course the president, who can Judge to a certain extent the future by the past, must not speak of what may happen in the future; no, not while such minds which have no "single track," or, better, no "track" to go on, are around, but arrogate unto themselves the privilege to deprecate this in others. Oh, if our critic only had "a track" for his mind he would not flounder around so much. Grant ed that our president has only a "single 'mind track," or, in other words: that he has only this one object in view, namely, to bring peace, a lasting peace, to the world, that is infinitely better than to listen to such critics as our es teemed friend, G. H. C, who has nothing to offer in this, his article, but a little mud. In the next paragraph this worthy citizen reverses himself, takes it all back and accuses the president of having a "feminine mind," (thus we already have woman suffrage not only established, but a representa tive in the white House, but this aside), thus implying that the feminine specie does not possess "a single track mind," but many "tracks,' or, perhaps, no "tracks like himself. He is not clear on this point. . He then tries to make be lieve that the writtings of the presi- The Day We Celebrate. Francis E.

RED BEARD still wore his 70 foot boots, but he had done so much running for a fat man that he didn't have much strength left. So Instead of chasing the Genie, Peggy, Billy and Balky Sam on foot, he rode one of the horses. He grunted painfully at every gallop, but he was bound to catch the four fugitives and urged his men on to the fullest speed. The bandits had learned by this time that the Turks were not the ones who had smashed up their din ner party, and now they, too, joined in the chase of Peggy, the Genie, Billy and Balky Sam. The Genie was very strong, but all the running and laughing had taken his wind, and he was soon puffing like a locomotive. "I can't go much farther," he gasped.

To the Editor of The Bee: I notice the article signed George Henry Caigue, refer- ing to the utterance of President Wilson at Suresnes cemetery on Memorial day. Is it possible that Mr. caigue does not understand the English language? President Wilson's state papers have been read throughout the civ ilized world for the last four years and are generally said to be the best jjelivered since Lincoln, if not superior to any that Lincoln is sued. This is not my opinion, but the opinion of the most learned men in all the more enlightened nations of the world. If Mr. Caigue doubts this, let him ask the editors of World's Work, Literary Digest, Re view of Reviews or any other high class magazine. It is too bad that Lodge, Borah or Mr. Caigue are not president in the place of Mr. Wilson. No man gets so large he cannot be criticized, but it Is the utmost in ill breeding for us common punks to say things about really big men, of whom I think Mr. Wilson ranks very high among them.

London Opinion. There He Was Stuck, Hands, i'eet - and Scat. of them was a large building. On the side of it they could see a big siKn: "Sticky Flypaper Factory." The door stood wide open. "We must get inside," gaaped the Genie. "I can't run another block." Into the entrance they darted, slamming the door in the faces of the leading Turks. The Genie quick ly barred it, and then they turned to see if their place of refuge was secure. They found themselves in a large storage room. It had a concrete floor and around the sides were hun dreds of cans and casks filled with sticky flypaper, '-'stickum stuff." At! the opposite end were high windows. Bang! Bang! Bang! came thun derous blows upon the door. The Genie looked anxiously at the wood en panels. They were shaking under the attack upon them. "Those Turks will' break through in a minute," muttered the Genie. Peggy thought the same thing and she quickly began to figure out a way to escape. "They'll catch us like rats in a trap," declared Billy. "Unless we catch them," ex claimed Peggy, her eyes lighting up. Then she explained a scheme that had popped into her head. Acting upon it Billy and the Genie broke open cans and caskets, spreading the sticky flypaper "stickum" on the concrete floor. They worked fast, being urged on by the blows that were rapidly breaking down the door. Soon they had a large space covered with the "stickum," and they retreated to the window at the opposite end to see what would hap pen. "Crash!" the door broke in.. Clank! Whish! went Red Beard's 70-foot boots and he bounded out into the middle of the floor. Squash! he landed in ,the "stickum." The effect was surprising, for the springs in the boot threw Red Beard into the air while the boot itself stuck to the floor. Red Beard bounded a few feet and landed the other foot in the "stickum." Again he bounded up while the second boot remained behind, jthen down he came in his stocking feet in the stickum. . The shock was so great that Red Beard lost his balancee and sat down. And he stuck fast. He put his hands be behind him to life himself and they stuck, too. There he was stuck, hands, feet and legs, just like a. fly on sticky flypaper. And the other Turks and the ban dits, rushing in, were caught the same way. The harder they struggled to get loose the more they got stuck. "Ho, ho, ho! There you are and that's a good place to leave you!" roared the Genie, lifting Peggy high above his head. Looking down Peg gy saw where the tears of laughter DAILY DOT PUZZLE , I .25 ft V.
