You should know that Only seven cities in the United States have more large banks than we have in Omaha. Getting warm again in Mexico. Omaha is showing up pretty fine as a sum mer resort. Japan's explanation is that as Germany could not pay, China must. Austria lias fifteen days to think it over, but might as well sign at once. Austria also will cease to be a sea power, having neither fleet nor ports. A bumper crop of sugar is coming on, so we may avoid "rations" if nothing more. Panama rules that 4 per cent beer is non intoxicating, but that is so far to go! Berlin workmen have lucid moments. They are now reported as seeing no good in a "peace V strike." London crowds kept up the peace celebra tion over the secodd day. But London has not yet gone dry. Des Moines police made the mistake of im personating federal officers. It is bad enough :o imitate a "copper." The man who beat his wife because she :ou!d not supply the table on $5 a week ought . :o go to market himself occasionally. An Omaha parson says he would not give nuch for another "Billy" Sunday revival. But somebody must shake up the sinpers. All China asks is freedom from Japanese . aggression. Surely the big nations can afford ; v.o grant that much relief to the Celestials. The president has an unfailing recipe for a quiet Sunday. I; s to go aboard the May flower without papers, and stay out of sight. Packing house employes appear to think that wages ought to go up with hog prices. It night be all right if they came down the same ivay. According to the Omaha Hyphenated, the ; only settlement of Shantung short of war is to "let Japan have its own way. That was all the : kaiser ever asked. Nebraska "suffs" aim to meet with the leg . islature and see that the ratifying job is prop erly done. So far this move is not threatened with a referendum. Interest in The Bee's Free Ice and Milk fund shows how the big heart of the world responds to the call of the little ones. And this is 100 per cent service. Senator Pomerene says . the United States must be on guard for the next two years, and Secretary Baker is "scrapping" the army as rapidly as he can. These democrats should get together. ; Half a million dollars' worth of diamonds came over from Holland in a package no bigger than a cigar box. This may recall to some Ne braskans that another cigar box once held con ; tents of considerable importance. ;;" The agreement between the grain dealers and the wheat administration that the United States prices will be "reflected" in purchases of wheat from producers is all right as protect ing the man who raises the grain. Now let a similar arrangement be made for the benefit of the folks who buy the bread, and all will be forgiven. The Soft Drink Bar The Bartenders' Union it will not disband. It is proposing to maintain itself in perfectly good standing as a labor organization. Expert mixers of beverages why should their talents be wasted? Well they are not going to be wasted, not even temporarily; not even during the "demobilization" dry spell. The drink mix ers know a few tricks about mixing drinks that will put punch in the punch that has no high wine kick to it. And as to cocktails well there are cocktails and cocktails and not every cock tail has an alcoholic juice to it. There is the oyster cocktail, for instance, that is mostly cat sup and cayenne pepper, and there are other cocktails with less alcoholic kick than the new. Orthodox, 2.75 per cent beer. As to what can be done with highly gas seated water, a gill or so of Mr. Bryan's favor ite beverage or a selection from forty other concentrated fruit juices may be with a little ginger or a little cayenne pepper put in, and, perhaps, with a few other mysterious touches known to the artistic drink mixers, and, there you are with a nonintoxicant brew that, like as not, would cause a red Indian to deliver a few '.mpromptu remarks. , There are floating rumors about an artificial champagne made from gassed water and pine apple juice, which, according to the vouchers for this kickless substitute, will fool anybody who don't know the difference between cham pagne and gassed cider, and it is alleged there have been many in the years agone who have Imbibed gassed cider under the belief that they were putting down champagne. The soft drink has really never yet been developed to the limit 4 possibilities. Baltimore American.' REVIVING A DEAD CRY. Clacquers for unqualified endorsement of the peace treaty and its League of Nations con tent are now resorting to a miserable subter fuge in order to discredit the senators who wish to make certain reservations. Unless the sen ate gives assent to the treaty, with approval of the Shantung deal, we will have war with Japan. In fact, it is boldly asserted that the critics of the document are looking for war. This is quite as silly as was the "war" cry that proved so potent in 1916, and the appeal is being made just as it was then, in hope of catching ap proval from the hysterical. The president shows little faith in the success of this venture, for he approaches the senate from another angle. He has asked permission to name a commissioner from the United States on the reparations commission. For the moment the senate is inclined to wait until it ean examine the proposal to see just how far such action will commit the body toward accepting the treaty. The crisis is not far away at Wash ington, and the several maneuvers of the ad ministration leaders give color to the belief they are preparing to make some concessions. The treaty must be ratified and the league en dorsed, but with specific reservations Tj points vital to American interests. This result will not be materially changed by the effort of the democrats to blow dust in the eyes of the people. Peace Terms for Austria. Conditions for peace presented to the Aus trian government are in the main the same as those assented to by Germany. The exact amount of indemnity to be required from the smaller country will not be determined finally before May, 1921. The peace commissioners recognize the inability of the Austrians to pay all they are responsible for. and will deal with them ac cordingly. Prewar debt is to be apportioned between the new nations that have arisen from the wreck of the empire, on the ratio of revenue provided. War debt is to be assumed by the new republic; such portion of it as is held by nationals of the new countries is to be disre garded entirely. As an offset to this all government-owned property of the late empire, including public service utilities and crown lands, goes to the new nations as reparation in part. Austria's army is to be reduced to 30,000 men, and universal service abolished. Arms or munitions may not be exported or imported, and only one factory will be permitted to man ufacture such materials. Others must be dis mantled or converted. This determines the fu ture of the great Skrupa plant. Making of war, which has been really a fine art with the politicians who revolved around the Hapsburg court for many generations, will go with their army to the discard. The shrewdest, most unscrupulous diplomatic double-dealers the the world ever knew no longer can menace humanity. Other details of the treaty are carefully worded, so that the high and mighty power that precipitated the world war by undertaking to crush a little neighbor is humbled to the limit. And yet the terms are just, and have due regard for the present and future of Austria. Vienna will cease to be a world capital, but may yet become the political and social center for a happy and prosperous people. Shoe Leather and High Prices. The Shoe and Leather Reporter, replying to a letter from Senator Capper, who inquired as to the reason for the proposed great uplift in the price of shoes now promised for the fall, passes the buck in several different directions. Increased consumption of leather, due to the war, is the principal cause alleged, but advance in prices on steers, on hides, on leather, in labor costs, and in other ways are made to share the blame. Finally, we are told: "It would be conducive to a better understanding if the American public could be informed that shoes have been selling at $25 and $30 for many long months in both the warring and neutral coun tries of continental Europe." Well does the American public know this, and what is more, it knows that for the last five years it has been urged by the Red Cross and other charitable agencies to contribute of old clothes, worn shoes and the like, that poverty-stricken mil lions might not go naked and barefooted through the winters in continental Europe. Are we to be reduced to that condition? Only a few in Europe could pay $25 and $30 a pair for shoes, and not many in this country can stand such prices. The Shoe and Leather Reporter winds up its statement with the comforting con clusion: "That there have been occasional ab normal profits and losses in the leather indus tries, just as there have been promotions and casualties in the war." Ability to pay will rule here as elsewhere. Labor and the League of Nations. That the American Federation of Labor heads should send out an appeal to affiliated bodies asking support for the League of Na- i tions is no occasion for surprise. At the late ; Atlantic City convention of the Federation, the league was endorsed in principle by a vote of 29,909 for to 420 against. This was after care ful and dispassionate discussion of the league on the floor of the convention, it having been privately debated among the delegates for more than two weeks previously. Organized labor, however, is under no de lusions as to the nature of the proposed com pact between the nations. It was known to the delegates before the vote was taken that certain cf the principles embodied in the labor "magna charta" written into the treaty had been modi fied by the Peace conference at the instance of Sir Robert Borden of Canada, who was un willing to go as far as the others. In spite of this, the document is accepted even by those who -have misgivings as to its entire service ability, because it offers a reasonable solution for the political troubles of the world, while setting up machinery by which some of the economic problems may be dealt with. Organized labor of America, through its cen tral congress, frankly accepts the proffer of the statesmen assembled at Paris, pledging its faith by the overwhelming vote of endorsement. It will be well if the statesmen do not "keep the word of promise to the ear and break it to the hope" of these men. New York's birth rate was driven down by war and the marriage rate is curtailed by economic pressure. Either cause is enough, but both may be removed in time, Why Not a Ford Dictionary From the Minneapolis Tribune. Henry Ford, who is now red-hot for pre paredness, nevertheless still wishes the world were in such a good humor that no part of it would think of going to war with any other part of it. It may seem presumptuous for what our president calls a "pigmy mind" to make suggestions to a man of the mental stature of Mr. Ford, but wouldn't it be possible for the great Detroit business man to put the world in that kind of humor by publishing a work entitled "Ford's Unabridged Dictionary?" We have been struck with the definitions given by Mr. Ford on the stand in his libel suit against the Chicago Tribune. Judging from the few samples disclosed at this trial, we ven ture to say that a lexicon compiled by Mr. Ford would be notably marked for its original ity and for its independence of all other lexicons with which the English-speaking race has been blessed or cursed. We have had a plentitude of dictionaries for the high-brows, the aristoc racy and the bourgeoisie. We are in sad need of one for hoi polloi, or the proletariat one that shall be simple; one that shall look upon words as without ancestral trees; one that shall be conceived and executed in the new atmos phere of a world made safe for something or other. A few deadly parallels in definitions are in order: Noah Webster defines an idealist as "an adherent of a doctrine of idealism." It doesn't get us anywhere except into deeper trouble than we were before. Mr. Ford says an idealist is "one who helps make profits for others." There we have en visaged for the mind's eye a person who does something that we all understand. Mr. Webster defines an anarchist as "a mal content respecting all existing institutions, re guarding them as essentially tyrannical, either as aristocratic plutocratic." Very well, but what do malcontent, institutions, tyrannical, aristocratic and plutocratic, each and several, mean? No response from the galleries. Mr. Ford says an anarchist is "one who throws bombs or seeks to overturn a govern ment." It fills the eye and mind at once with the bewhiskered man, the smoking, foul-smelling thing and the object at which the man takes a smash. In an unabridged work we should expect Mr. Ford to tell, of course, why is a United States senator. 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. Service In Siberia. A Worried Mother No orders have been Issued for the with drawal of the 2 7th Infantry, now stationed at Vladivostok. Siberia. It is employed on guard duty there, looking after American property and assisting in maintaining order. Your son. having vol unteered, may be held for the full period of his enlistment, unless he was accepted only for the emer gency. If the latter is the case, then he will be released from the service as soon as he can be spared after peace has been declared, but can not be held longer than six months. Would advise you to write to the adjutant general of the army to ascertain the exact status of this soldier. Frightfulness in Reaction The German finance minister's plan of raising $22,500,000,000 by "levies on capital" is a direct response to the reparation obligations accepted in Germany's ratification of the peace treaty. That document calls for the payment of $20,000,000,000 within the next five years and such further sums thereafter as may be decided upon by a reparation commission. Minister Erzberger has spoken of the tax rates necessary to make this preliminary pay ment as "frightful." As now submitted by him, they are all of that. They are assessed not against income but against property. Persons having no more than $1,250 in total property possessions are exempt, but above that amount the rates start at 10 per cent and end at 65 per cent, for properties exceeding $750,000. This means that the wealthier people of Germany must give up to the state over one half of all they possess. They cannot do this all at once. That would involve a forced liqui dation absolutely ruinous to industry and all concerned. They will be given time to pay, but pay they must, first or last, and pay they must under such a levy if they flee Germany, as many of them are doing, for they cannot take their real property with them. There is no precedent in all history of a people brought under so heavy an industrial servitude as this. The billion-dollar indemnity imposed by Germany on. France in 1871 was the greatest of the kind known up to that time, but compared with this preliminary levy on Germany it was about as 30 days in jail to the 30 years through which the repara tion provisions of the peace treaty are to run. This is German military frightfulness in reaction upon Germany. It expresses itself in other terms on the rebound, but they are terms which can be understood by all. New York World. Sal line Dates for Casuals. M. E. L. Sailing dates for casual detachments are not announced in advance. When there Is room on a transport these unattached organ izations are assigned, but it is not possible to tell in advance when they will start. This applies to the medical corps who have been at tached to the casual camp at Brest. This department does not appear in The Sunday Bee. Why Bolshevism Must Fail If one wants to know why bolshevism must fail, all he need to do is to take note of the fact that the bolshevists have confiscated the churches of Russia and suppressed the Sunday schools and prohibited all religious teachings in public. Then he can meditate upon the fact that since the beginning of time no govern ment has ever been maintained that did not have some kind of religion for a basis. Lenine and Trotzky were shrewd in many ways, but they were foolish in the matter of religion. Had they been wise they would have at least "used" the churches or encouraged religion of some kind. It need not have been the Christian religion; it need not have been the Orthodox Greek church as established in Russia, although that would have been the logi cal thing. But to break down the churches with one mandate and to forbid religious teach ing that was suicide, however long it may be until the corpse is buried. But it would not have been bolshevism had it not sought to destroy religion. Religion and bolshevism are as far apart as the poles, and they can never be made to work in har mony which is to say that bolshevism cannot be made to work at all. In his daily needs man demands religion of some kind. He may find consolation in the worship of Buddha, he may find solace in the contemplation of the words of Confucius, he may pray to Mahomet or to Zoroaster, or he may commune with God r but the fact remains that unless man worships at some shrine, unless he takes note of some thing besides the material things of life, neither his home nor his government will endure nor peace and happiness fall to his lot.

The announcement you saw to the effect that the "smaller units of the Third army are losing no time in getting out of Germany" had reference to va rious groups, such as the air service, the repair shops, salvage corps, and such, connected with headquarters at Coblenz. We have not as yet noted any sailing orders for the 138th aero squadron, which has been stationed there. Two divisions, the First and Third, are to be held in Germany, and some of the other units will no doubt be kept with them. Watch the papers for announcement. Many Questions Answered. Helen J. We have no iniorma tlon regarding the sailing date for the Fourth division.

Honey dew plot to muke her queen, but Husby buzz forces her to work.) German scientists have obtained paper pulp from hop vines. At present more than two-thirds of the Polish industries are at a standstill owing to lack of raw mate rials and machinery, of which they were stripped during the war. American exporters should think of Munster (the south of Ireland) as a prosperous farming region, with a. population almost as large as Connecticut's and an area a little greater than Vermont's population (1911), 1,035; area, 9,532 square miles, but with less spending power per capita than the average Amer ican. Java has taken leadership In the cultivation of quinine away from India will have 34 per cent less wheat than anticipated. All of Asia will undergo a shortness of food also, the rice crops of China, Burma, Japan and India being far below normal. This will mean that these markets will be smaller pur chasers this year than heretofore. As is known, Czechoslovakia and Poland have for five years been isolated from all connection with foreign countries and as a result their stocks of all kinds of goods have been exhausted. At present they are in great need of raw materials and manufactured goods. The prices which at present are paid in Poland for most manufactured necessities are very high and very large imports are needed to supply immediate wants. THE SONS OF HAN.

HyoJ have no right to keep me J. a prisoner in this stuffy hive," said Peggy Bee to Busybuzz. "Set me free this Instant." "You'll never be free," sniffed Busybuzz. "Here you work and here you die. Follow me. There Was nothing else to do, so Peggy reluctantly obeyed. She made up her mind, however, that she would seize the first chance to escape. And if she couldn't escape any other way she might consent to take part in Honeydew's revolt and become the new queen of the hive. Busybuzz led the way to a high wall in which were set hundreds and hundreds of cavelike holes or cells. Over the wall were crawling active lady bee workers. Looking into a cell as she passed by, Peggy saw curled up in it a plump, white, wormlike body with a head resem bling a bee. In all the other cells were other plump bodies. "Why, they look like babies bee babies," exclaimed Peggy. "Of course they do and why shouldn't they," sniffed Busybuzz. They are bee babies, and your Job is to 'tend them." "My gracious, what a lot of them there are to tend," gasped Peggy. Busybuzz now called to an ener getic lady bee who was bustling around among the babies. "Fuzzyhum, this is a new nurse maid I've brought you. I don't know whether she is much good, for she is the looking around kind, but you may get some use out of her." "Hum! Hum: Keep her yourself DAILY DOT PUZZLE 'The Queen!" Rumbled Fuzzyhuni, "Now You're In for a Row!"

"She'd keep me busy keeping her busy and I'm busy enough now, goodness knows." And away hurried Busybuzz for the clover fields. "Hum! Hum! I guess I'm as busy as she is," rumbled Fuzzyhum crossly. "With all these babies to feed I haven't time to waste on idlers." "I'm not an Idler," declared Peg gy indignantly. "If the babies need feeding I'll help you feed them. Then I'm going home." "Hum ! Hum! Bee babies always need feeding. You can feed 'em and feed 'em, but they'll not stay fed, and new babies are always coming along by the hundreds." Peggy didn't wait to argue that matter further. She pitched right in and began to feed the baby bees. And she quickly found that she had a real job on her hands. There were hundreds of them, all hungry for dinner. As she d them she fotgot she was a prisoner and that a plot was afoot to make her queen. "How funny they look!" she gig gled. "Hum! Hum! They look no fun nier than you did when you were a bee baby," rasped Fuzzyhum. Peggy giggled a bee giggle for, of course, she had never been a bee baby. Fuzzyhuni heard her giggle and tlew into a rage. "Quit that laughing and get busy," she ordered. "We haven't time for gigtrling or nonsense in a beehive." Some of the babies were queen bee babies, some were worker ba bies and some were boy bee babies, or drones. The queen bee babies got the most food and the best, tha workers came next, and the poor lit tle drones had to take what was left. Peggy was sorry for the drones, and she sought to feed them like the others. "Don't bother with those lazy drones," ordered Fuzzyhuni. "There are too many In the hive now. We don't try to raise them." "How awful!" exclaimed Teggy. "You bees are as bad to boy babies as the Chinese are to girl babies." "I don't know anything about the Chinese, but I do know that drones eat a lot of food they don't work for and a hive is better off without them," said Fuzzyhum. "We sting 'em to death or drive 'em out to starve." "That's cruel. I'll put a stop to It when I'm queen," cried Peggy. "Buzz! Buzz, Buzz! Treason! Treason! Who are you who dares to talk of being queen?" Peggy whirled around to find her self facing an irate lady bee much larger and more Imposing looking than the workers. And the lady bee's eyes were flashing with anger and her stinger was ready for ac tion. "The queen!" rumbled Fuzzyhum. "Now you're in for a row." (Tomorrow will be o!d how Peggy de fies the queen.) UfteJZ tees 3? "-wvl t i y ox Future of Dairy Farming. Wahoo, Neb., July 14. To the Editor of The Bee: One of the most prominent Saunders county farmers yesterday, in commenting on two articles that appeared in the last is sue of the Country Gentleman, namely, "Nebraska's Great Farmers' Union," with its picture of the Farm ers Creamery at Fremont, and the article on "The Dairy Man's Difficul ties," stated that, in his opinion, the methods of farming will be revolu tionized during the next five years. His first prediction is that the best land in the county will raise in price until it reaches $500 per acre and never drop below that price and that, eecond, the large tracts will give place to smaller and more In tensively cultivated farms. He pre dicts that in the future the Saun ders county farmer will devote more of his time to the producing of poul try and dairy products, they being more dependable as a surer income and pin less of his hopes on grain alone. He believes that the paving of roads In Douglas county through to Fremont, Valley and Yutan, the es tablishment of the Yutan bridge and th? eventual hard surface roads that will cross Saunders county, east and west and north and south, will re suit in the establishment of general trucking lines that will pick up the farmer's milk, cream and eggs at his door and his small fruits that he will eventually produce and take them to the markets at Lincoln, Omah.i and Fremont, relieving him of the whole responsibility. He further states that one of the reasons why the Saunders county farmers have not taken kindly to the dairying products is that the fer tility of the soil and the resulting good grain crops have caused a dis like on his part for dairy enterprises because of the time required in get ting th? products on the market, but that if this objection is removed the Saundes county farmers generally will go more to dairying and small farming. The scarcity of help and the 6ti!l increasing cost of machin ery, etc., is another item which he states wilL influence the building up of the smaller farms. . GEORGE A.'DAVIES. Observing the Sahbath. Omaha, July 15. To the Editor of The Bee: Man Is made of three parts, part is energy, part is divine and part is pleasure loving. If he lacks one of these he is an unnatural man. Now, God gives us seven days in every week, six days for ourselves and one to worship Him. We are spending six days in work, the one day left in pleasure seeking. Where does God come in? As an individ ual how can God bless us when we steal His one day? As the man is, so is the nation. Are you not afraid our great United States will crumble and fall as others have done in the past, when they forgot God? Now if a law is passed, stopping all amusements on Sunday, where is the working man going to get his pelasure?

Why cannot we, as a nation, have Wednesday and Saturday afternoons as holidays, and make every man, woman and child take one of these holidays, and have all of our games then? I think it would be only a short time until our churches would be enlarged, and we would have a quiet Sunday instead of the noisy ones we now have. Look not with contempt on the man that goes to a Siinciav ball game, but rather on Mr. Money Bags that cannot let him have one afternoon a week, and on our lawmakers and on our voters.
