One of the most colemn moments in the his tory of mankind was that following 11 o'clock on the morning of November 11, 1918. Even those who through 50 months and more had listened to the steady crash of the all but con tinuous battle could not then appreciate just what was contained 'in that first moment of silence following the final salvo of the great war. They were too close to see the picture, to catch all that was contained in that blessed hush. It-meant that perhaps for the last tine the guns of magnificent armies had roared out in warfare; not only that the terrible struggle which for four year had deluged the world in blood, bringing misery and suffering to innocent millions, had come to a definite stop; it meant also that earnest, inking men. were firmly re 4 solved to take counsel together to the end tffat there should be no more war. Whether this end can .be brought about, and humanity be relieved forever of the scourge, is not yet answered. Men are striving to make war impossible, and, if not that, then so remote, that people every where may mbve in the presence of peace and not under the shadow of an army. Somthing like this is embodied in the plans of the American Legion for having Armistice day made a national holiday. It should be so dedicated, for on no other anniversary can the lessons of true Americanism, of unselfish de votion to the highest and best ideals of our system of government be tanght more appro priately than on this, which brought such relief to milHons of Americans. Every day ia a good day for such work, but this one November day,' so fraught with deep and abiding meaning, should be made sacred to some definite purpose, and what undertaking could be better consecrated to it than the effort, to make Americans better men and women, and so make the world a better place is which tq,Uve. a. .(, ; i V v. Americanization dpes'upt, fcnd at teaching the j foreign-born citizen a few words'" of our lan guage, giving him a Sentence or -two from the Constitution of the' United States, or a few phrases from the utterance of some of our statesmen. He may become familiar with our laws, pur social forms!" our business methods, and yet not be an American We found, to cur sorrow1 that many who had lived' among us for years were not yet Americans when the test came. To ' make Americans is to instill into the minds and hearts of all a reverence and an understanding of the ideals of America; of what human liberty consists, what it contains, and on what it rests. And it is not alone the foreign born who need this teaching. Many of them have a much higher conception of the truth than is generally found among the native-born. The American Legion., proposes to devote Armistice day to this work, to the end that liberty may be perpetuated, our institutions made secure, and the blessings of peace be brightened for those who enjoy them. In this -work the legion de serves the support and assistance of every American citizen, for all can learn something by taking part in the program. "Tom" Marshall Is Content. A glutton for punishment, perhaps, as his long service as vice president of the United States . might testify, "Tom" Marshall knows when he has had enough. Therefore he an nounces that he is through fighting for "the" League of Nations. The "people having ratified the election of a candidate for president made at Chicago, the vice president accepts the ver dict and will devote the remainder of his term in office to presiding over the deliberations of the senate. Mr. Marshall is one of those who serve but "only , stand and wait." Whether equipped or not for the duties of the high office of president, he has filled the one to which he was called with great dignity and considerable force, , During the bitter days of debate on the League of Nations tonvenant,. he made some rulings, that appeared to be based on par tisanship rather than logic, and these were promptly overruled by 'the senate, but it is likely that no vice president ever retired from office with a conscience more clear because of faithful devotion to his duty, loyalty to his po litical leader and with a bette record of pa triotic service than will Mr. Marshall. British "Governing Class" Disturbed. " It remained for' a woman to do what the war could not for'fne British. Margot Asquith's , book has shaken the "governing das"- from its self-complacent attitude, and, whether it means, as one writer, Expresses It, "the death knell of, a society," it surely i- making them sit up and take notice. As wife of the premier when the war commenced and a leader in the coalition government under, which the great campaign was carried on, Mrs. Asquith had plenty of op portunity to get behind the scenes. She saw , the stage being seizor every shift, the "propeV ties" arranged, and even some of the great move ments rehearsed before the public got its chance to look on and applaud. Her book lays bare some of the pretenses, the shams, Jhe hollow ness of the .so-called "governing class" of Eng land, proves its members to be just men and women, animated by the same desires, swayed by the same passions, .and capable of the same Sacrifices as ordinary humanity, and nothing More. One of the bitter complaints against the book arises from the fact that it will afford texts for many a radical preachment. If so, it may serve England well in the way of hastening thC day when the land will become really demo cratic, and the silliness of London society will not pass current as honest statesmanship and constructive government. Whatever Margot Asquith had in mind when she took the cover off, she has started something that bids fair to end in real reform. a Machine-Made World. t Can the invention of labor saving machinery go too far? There is no doubt that the devel opment of machine production has cost the world a considerable part of what is called the spirit of craftmanship, and that where one man spends his day in the monotonous performance of some single operation such as screwing on bolts," there is little enjoyment to be found in labor. Under the division of labor by which it requires dozens or scores of workers to complete an article, each one adding some minor contribution, no single man or woman can feel a personal pride in the perfection of the output. This is what was meant by Samuel Gompers in his speech, in New York condemning the tendency to replace men with machinery. Printers once opposed the use of. typesetting machines by which one man could do the work of many, but today more printers are at work getting better pay than ever before. Under the old conditions, the number of pages was limited; the invention of -typesetting devices has permitted papers to double theijr size many times, and to furnish employment to more work men. ,. When the steam shovels were excavating the cut on Dodge treet, a man who was somewhat tipsy stood on the bank and muttered that those powerful scoops had deprived a thousand men, with shovels, of, employment. "Yes, and a' million men with teaspoons," was the com ment of another bystander. If it had not been for the steam shovels, the hill would never have been cut down, and there would have been that much less oppor tunity for employment. The same thing is true of many projects, made possible only by the use of power machinery. And no man who knows the backache that comes from wielding a shovel all day long will resent having been forced into other employment. There is no doubt that in factory work as it is now conducted there is too little oppor tunity for the exercise of the creative instinct. The problem of how to bring back the joy of production is a big one, but it should not be answered by even a partial rctuYn to the ex pensive and slow process of hand labor.

Down at Lincoln an agitation in which all the people of the state are interested is stirring the burghers. Some of the enterprising resi dents there are proposing to change the name of the $ne avenue that runs east and west through the town to "Pershing" instead of "O" street. Certainly some of the old-timers object; it was named "O" on the original plat, and "O" it shall remain till heaven and earth shall pass away, if these objectors trevail. But some things aside from their feelings are to be con sidered. Nebraskans in general not only "have an in terest but-a pride fn their capital city. They are paying out considerable money each year to beautify the place, by the way of adding fine buildings and similar improvements, and, as years go on, will spend more on various projects that will adorn and serve alike, until Lincoln has all the advantages nature can add to art, and will evince the pride of a progressive and prosperous commonwealth in its seat of government. When the promoters of the Lincoln project were hurrying to drive their plan through the territorial legislature back in 1867, they did not take time to hunt up any names for streets, ave nues, boulevards or the like, but resorted to the easy expedient oT lettering the thoroughfares east and west and numbering the north and south, and thus fastened on the village a system that prevails today. Nebraska has developed a sufficient number of real statesmen, leaders of thought, builders and doers, to provide Lincoln or any other community with a complete list of street names. It would be a mighty good thing if the whole street system of the capital were renamed, starting with Pershing and going on through the list, urtftil the directory would resbund with the roll call of names of men who deserve to be remembered by the state they served so well. N Over in Chicago a banker who had been robbed took up his own cstse, and now has his money back and the police on trail of the thieves. You may draw your own moral. A churchman reports Mexico more tranquil now than for years. It may be all that and still not be deadly dull. Mr. McAdoo also warnr us to go to work. He is beginning to realize what the Coxites saved him from. We are not sure but Mr. Debs will be just as much help in jail as he would out. Mr. Blanton still holds the record as an objector. No danger of drouth in Nebraska now. Impetuous Youth Daniel Kennedy, an Irish youth of 103 summers, who has lived in Nebraska for 95 years, recently announced that he is satisfied with the United States and in tends to settle here permanently. While we feel a natural sense of gratification at the prospect of having Mr. Kennedy for a fellow citizen, we are, in all justice, compelled to warn him against the folly of taking so all important a step on purely snap judgment. It may seem to him that he enjoys the somewhat shallow pleasures of life in the United States now; but how will he feel about it whenhis salad days are over? Is it not just possible that, when years have passed, leaving in their wake greater maturity and mellower wisdom, ne win discern the flaws in our far-from-ideal state and will yearn to return to the ould sod of his native isle? No, we caution Mr. Kennedy to wait and to deliberate. He is young now and head strong, with the usual tendency of the adoles cent to leap before looking. After he has thought the matter over for, say, another 95 years,, and has decided that American ideals are his ideals, then, by all means, let him have his own way about nat uralization. Let him have his chance to make good in this free country just as though he had lived here as long as the rest of us. Col lier's Weekly, Sturdy Orton stasgets up the east, .1 .

Sir: While sitting on a bench in Grant Park, enjoying a good segar and; the genial autumn sunshine, I was Joined by a seedy-looking gent who carefully brushed off tne bench with a newspaper and sat down bes.'de me. After open ing a conversTOon with a request for a small loan, with which I accommodated him, he un burdened himself as follows; "The financial plfght in which you find me." he began, "arises from a misplaced confidence in the judgment of the American electorate; a confidence which impelled me to wager considerable sums on the chances of James Cox and Ham Lewis. With an unflagging devotion, with impassioned eloquence, and with a holy zeal such ns fired the crusaders of old, these peerless protagonists of the people stormed the ramparts of the forces of evil. But an unthinking populanve, heeding only the siren song of the powers of darkness, plunged headlong to its doom. The fair name of Illinois lies trodden ln'the mire; the heart of the world is broken; hope .is deadvand black despair, with brooding wings, envelops this be nighted land.

SIGNS OF TUBERCULOSIS. When 'the National Association for the Study aifd Prevention of Tuberculosis took a community ex periment at Framlngham, Mass., it recognized a need for standards. There are certain symptoms which generally, are considered as raising a suspicion of consumptlon- and demanding close, carerul ex amination. The following is sub stantially the standard meaning of these symptoms, according to this association: 1. Loss of weight. By "loss of weight" is meant an unexplained loss of, at least 5 per cent below normal limits for that particular in dividual within four months' time. 2. Loss of strength. By "loss of strength" js meant undue fatigue and a lack of staying power, which are unusual for the individual pa tient and which cannot be satis factorily explained. 8. Fever. An occasional tempera ture of 99 degrees should not be considered fever. A temperature which persistently runs over 99.4 when taken at least four times a day (by mouth five minutes) over a period of one week, should bo con sidered of significance and to con stitute "fever." 4. Elevation, of pulse. Where the average normal pulse of the pa tient already is known an elevation of fifteen beats per minute, when the pulse is taken quietly at home during various periods of the day, should be considered abnormal. In cases where the average pulse .is not known, and, of course, this con stitutes the majority of cases, one should consider an average pulse of 85 or over in men, and 90 or over in women to be abnormal. The combination of a subnormal tem perature and an elevated pulse, as defined hdre, should be considered as of great importance. 6. Hemorrhage. Any amount of expectorated blood, with or without sputum, may mean that tuberculosis is present and requires careful aid thorough medical investigation es to its source. Blood streaks, blood spots, etc., may or may not mean tuberculosis. On the other hand a hemorrhage of one or two teaspoon fuls is presumptive evidence of tho disease. 6. Family history. An occasional case of tuberculosis in the patient's uncles, aunts, cousins, etc., should not bo considered of importance un less there has been intimate expo-I sure ana personal contact wiyi sucn a case. It is an important fact when the patient's immediate relatives, such as brothers, sisters, father, mother, or grandparents, have been tuberculos, and especially so when there has been prolonged and in timate contact. 7. Exposure. Childhood exposures are of the greatest importance. Mod erate exposures among normal healthy adults of cleanly habits is of less importance. Of course pro longed contact with unhygienic habits or surroundings may be a dangerous factor at any age. 8. Cough. There is no cough char acteristic of tuberculosis. Every cough that persists fop six weeks or over requires investigation. Tuber culosis may exist without any cough whatsoever. . 9. Sputum. The presence of sput um is not necessary for a positive diagnosis. The constant raising of suptum with or without cough re quires investigation. Absence of bacilli Jn the sputum after one or several laboratory examinations is Some Fort Omaha History. Omaha, Nov. 5. To the Editor of The Bee: Tho proposal by the government to nbamlon Fort Oma ha as a training tamp for the army balloon servico may or may not have "a political significance. Let us forget that Omaha, during the war, got very little recognition at tho hands of tho government as com pared with other naturally less favored cities. The reasons for that are largely political and need not be enlarged upon here.' I remember the dilapidated con dition of tho old fort ' along in 1801-2-3, duo largely to the fact that our depresentatlves in congress did not bestir themselves in tho in terest of Omaha as they might have done. I remember that Senator J. H. Millard took the matter up witn a. view to restoring the old fort to fa rendition of usefulness. Major uenerai wnuneo visuqu Omaha during a tour of inspection and Senator Millard asked him to examine the condition of the old fort With a view to its rehabilitation. The, general was not favorably im pressed, but later, at Washington, stated that if General Greeley, then chief of tho signal icrvico division of tho army, wovild lecommend the tho restoration of the old fort. Gen eral Chaffee would not object. General Greeley saw that Fort Omaha afforded a most favorable place for the development of nie signal service and ho concurred with Senator MHlard in the opinion that the fort should be restored. General Chaffeo made a recommen dation accordingly. Senator Millard enlisted the support it members of congress, went before tho senate and house committee on military affairs niul. asked for tin npproirla Hon. The N effort was successful. My ri'eolloeiUon is that Senator' Millard'H efforts resulted In tho ap propriation of ovr Siido.OOO and tho work was completed in duo time, rendering nlil Kurt Oniuha one of the most useful rrmy posts In tho nation. Add to the investment, t Mo expenslvo improvements mailo In tho fort to meet tlvi needs of tho great war and wo find hut not less thnn $1,000,000 have henn Invested there in In order to put tho fort in shape. And now, when tho reorganization of tho army is Ijeing effected, it Is all the more necessary that Fort Oma ha, be kept up to standard In order to fulfill the designs of General Greeley, who sought to make It a great training camp for tho army 'signal service.
