ARLINGTON. Neb., Aug. SO-To the
Editor OF The Bee; Being a constant
reader OF The Bee have noticed num-
Der Of letters regarding the European
war, and especially those written by Matt
S9ader
In the first place, II seems as though
Germany was little too quick in order
ing Russia to cease the mobilization Of
its troops and France also. Was not
the Germaps ready to begin war? And
hasn't one nation just the same rights
to mobilize troops as another? The only
serious mistake Germany made. to nay
notion. was trying TO cross Belgium. a
neutral country, TO fight France. Thus
Germany violated the treaty. which
brought England into the war.
The kaiser Is a great military genius
and has q fine army. hut he no doubt has
overestimated his strength. and il Is my
prophecy that Germany will be defeated.

state Normal and University.

OMAHA, Aug, a.-To the Editor OF
The Bee: Without any desire TO criticize
the efficiency of the state normal board,
I believe voice the sentiments OF large
number OF taxpayers, when I assert that
It Is a needless and expensive luxury.
The normal board has no work to do
which cannot be done equally we'll by
the board OF regents. Both Kansas and
Iowa have only one board with results
eminently satisfactory. Such a plan
could not possibly disadvantage either
the university or the normal schools.
The funds OF each are separate and can"
not be transferred from one to the other.
The regents would be as truly regents
OF the normal schools as OF the university.
All the regents would have TO do would
he TO use the appropriations and conduct
the institutions In accordance with the
spirit OF the law BY being under one
board the work OF each school would be
restricted TO It's legitimate sphere. The
expense OF he normal board would be
entirely eliminated and the tendency OF
our state educational institutions 10 work
at cross purposes would be a thing of the
past There seems to he every argument
for placing these institutions under one
board and nothing against IT, would
like to hear this matter discussed.

The War and Navy departments have renewed.
through the state department requests Of the Euro
pean governments engaged in for the privilege OF
having American army and navy officers accompany
the foreign troops and ships In the capacity OF obser
ers from neutral country. The intmation the part
OF this government that such privilege would be APP
preciated has elected response. Some forty army
Officers and about half many naval officers have
been Professionally selected but not yet publicly desis
mated to abroad observers with the foreign
forces. No OF the identity Of these Of
ficers will be made by the War and Navy departments
until II Is ascertained whether the foreign govern
ments disposed comply with the request from
Washington All the indications already stated in
these columns, have been against any such privilege.
There IL every inclination the part OF the foreign

NORTH LOUP, Neb., Aug. 3i.-To the
Editor OF The Pee: In the late primary
the people Of Nebraska have seen an
other denomination Of nominating can
didates for public office through a pro-
cess OF sympathy In conjunction with
the egg attack, the matter was published
far and wide. with the inference that
political gang opposed to progressive
principles was at the bottom Of II. . The
candidate had also been arrested and
any person might suppose the police ~
Omaha were manipulating to defeat the
will OF the people.
II the people will take a second thought
they may readily see that we who OPP
posed Mr.. Howell's nomination could
gain nothing by such an attack. There
are many earmarks that indicate q
carefully laid plan to nominate MIR
Howell and a slate by that process
People who have watched Mr.. Howell's
candidacy have noticed that he was
placed N the ticket by a class Of parti-
sans who have been in the anti-saloon
advocacy. In conjunction with those
partisans certain other great corporate
interests are at work to obtain un-
limited franchises Tor power on the rivers
OF Nebraska. Also in conjunction with
those interests are other political fac
lions. to-wit-the took trust, the unit
vsrsity frsternitios and a coertie of a
half dozen politicians who have obtained
control uf a church school whose power
they are using political machine for
personal gain and advancement. There
are too many signs which indicate that
this association OF political factions are
organized with the supreme intent to
give away our natural resources TO east
ern financiers. and for those resources
submit 10 state wide prohibition two years
hence. II II is possible to deceive the
people by q rotten-egg attack, promul-
gated by a yellow journal sheet under
the pretense OF progressiveness, the cleo
torats may fall into the same snare.

what Rus.,. win win by war.

j WnmN huhbka " !" ~ w
Z LINCOLN. Neb.. Aus. 3i-To The
Editor Of The Bee Many people are
pessimistic over Russia's outcome Of the
war. but the truth can't be concealed
from those who know that Russia has
already won the greatest victory as far
as commerce is concerned. which Is the
basis OF modern civilized war.
Let us analyze the situation OF Russias
victory. II Is we'll known fact that
Russia has a vast area OF forests, there
fore its lumber industry. internally and
externally Is very enormous. Russia eX-
ports its logs mostly from European
Russia which covers a territory OF Ga
10000 o. acres The total number of
acres In forests in Russia Is 81 ,si2.5H.
The chief exports to Germany are GER
calls eggs. timber and flax. The timber
IL floated In RATS ON the following
rivers; Bug. Narev. Nieman and vistula.
Tbos rivers fall into the Baltic sea. Al
though Russia exports a great deal OF
timber. lts people benefit very little. be-
cause they Get little work out OF Il.
The main German lumber industry Is
in the northeast OF Prussia containing
the cities OF Mcneil Konigsoerg. Thorn,
Bromberg and Danzg. All those cities
are well fortified. The entire defense
lines. or rather all fortresses OF Germany.
are connected with each other by means
Of underground telephones. while STRAIT
egiosl railway lines lead from the prin-
cipal military centers toward the from
tiers
Besides those northeastern fortifica-
lions there are natural Qualifications
such as lakes, swRmps and holes where
the natives dig for peat, which is used
for fuel SO. the Germans were never
afraid OF Russian invasion from the
northeast. The time has come when
Russia must conquer the northeastern
part OF Prussia, dlsregarding the price II
will pay for Il, as long as IL GAINS its
point. II will be national victory Tor
entire Russia. Then the German lumber
industry WIN be crippled forever

AN A IN PRICE

In another column Of this paper
Manager L. J. Willis Of the. Lyric
theatre announces an advance IN
price Of admission. He says the nee
sessity Of this has been apparent for
some time. The expenses of theatre
owners have been OF the increase for
many months and sone.expense after
another has been absorbed by them
without any advance in the price OF
admission but they have reached the
point where they are unable to give
the usual hgh-class programs at The
old price.
A few months ago programs were
of three reel lengths and no features
or serial films were exhibited, thiE
change cost a great deal and besides
this the film companies have raised
their prices on regular film service
to the exhibitor. They say the cost
Of production has advanced terribly
The public has been demanding better
stories and actors than they formerly
did. Where the film company once
paid only a few dollars for film
Istories they now have to pay several
hundred and the cheap actor doesn't
do in these days, they are compelled
to hire the best actors from the legi-
innate stage. Besides all Of this
every detail in the production il
looked after so carefully that the ex.
pense is very great.
Mr.. Willis says he regrets the nee.
essity of this advance in price but
believes his patrons would rather pay
the advanced price than have the
high, character Of his program low
