Germany and 1ts Aims

BY centering its fire little Belgium, Ger
many evidently intended to pave the way as
speedily as possible for a direct attack on Eng
land as the following statement by Major Mo-
raht. the eminent Berlin military critic, shortly
before the fall OF Antwerp, confirming current
3 opinion, indicates;
Only amer the fan OF Antwerp shall We haye our
rear asnd right TANKS free. The occupation OF Ant
werp viii be big step toward our settlement with
England and will enable US TO direct our efforts
against tho toughest and most INSCRIPTIONS OF our
enemies.
Even with Brussels, Antwerp and in time
ostend secured. however, Germany would yet
be a considerable distance from the goal aimed
at, IL England Is It's aim. The Belgium cam
paign must, however. be viewed from another
interesting standpoint Those who have read
the late Price Golfers Germany and the Ger
MANS" will recall that he defined the destiny
OF Germany as lying out through territorial ag-
erosion. small country in area, 1t was
thickly populated and needed more land, he
contended. But later view is that Germany's
supreme need ls not so much land, as seaports.
that being essentially an industrial country, IL
must have better outlets for its commerce on
the north and can have them only by obtaining
possession OF more big ports.
In this connection the New York Times re-
Gently quoted "a minister of neutral state of
worldwide experience" as saying that, while
Holland was not antagonistic to Germany, 1t
feared Prussian milltarism and therefore sis far
from divided in sentiment, but is wholly and
tirey on the side of the allies, except FOR small
unimportant clique" He went so far as to say
that Hollands early participation in the war
was mot improbable" In that event. though
there is ground for believing that the crux of
the war will come in a direct encounter be-
tween the two closely related powers Germany
and England.

The Decision Again,t dollar eas.

The decision of Judge T. G. Munger Of the
federal court in what is known as the Omaha
dollar gas case" is against the city. In word,
the court holds that the city s bound, just the
freely entered into and that having contracted
freely entered into, and that having contracted
with the gas company to permit charge not to
exceed S1.25 per goo cubic feet. it cannot dur
ing the period Of that agreement compel it to
sell at a lower price.
Much as we would like to have dollar gas.
and though the company might supply gas prof
itably for dollar. the contention OF the city in
this case, repudatng one section Of a contract
while taking advantage OF other sections, was
not an eneviable one. The truth b. a city like an
individual business corporation, has more to
gain by scrupulously living up to its agreements
than by finding loopholes to evade them
The adverse decision in the dollar gas case
lctves the city Just where It was II has lost
nothing that 1t had, but is brought face to face
with the problem OF dealing with the gas ques-
tion at the expiration OF the present franchise
now only four years off Had this decision come
little earlier. IL might possibly have made o
difference In previous negotiations for dollar
gas. because many people we're led to believe
and that the gas company was conceding moth
ing in its offer OF immediate reduction in ex-
change for franchise extension.
That. however is now neither here nor
there, for appeal by the city would consume
most OF the time Of the remaining unexpired
term. Whatever course II shall be decided To
pursue, our sad experience with the water works
at least teaches several things not to do.

Are the People Thinking More


The present state election campaign in Ne
Oraska, though characterized by very little ex
element is no exception to the campaigns the
country over in this particular. The fact f. we
seem TO have dispensed with much Of the former
noisy demonstrations with spell-binders dining
their nostrums and panaceas into our ears Does
the absence OF these wilder methods of elec-
pioneering indicate more thoughtfulness on the
part Of the voters?
Happily we have ground for believing that
voters DO lot more thinking on their own ac-
count than they used to, but on the other hand
they are not wholly impervious to the pin
pricks of flattery sophistry or pure buncombe,
as events show. II the spread-eagle orator has
left the hustings. perhaps 1t is not entirely due
to deeper thinking on the part Of the voters. but
to some extent to the fact that he can find
more profitable receptions the Chautauqua
platforms, where lot of campa gning and cleo
pioneering is done these days under various dis
gulses.

misrepresentation Campus Question.
OMAHA. oct 13-To the Editor OF The

statements. The legislature Of 1913 ap-
propriated three-fourths of / mill FOR Elk
years FOR a special university building
fund. II IL estimated that this levy will
bring t2.5OO.OOO. That amount Is fixed and
a vote either for or against removal will
not affect the amount one cent either

The only question that Is being sub
mitted to the voter Ia whether that
amount shall be spent In consolidation
upon the farm campus OF 40 acres, or
whether we shall build two complete. sep
arate universities. one down town and an
other on the farm campus. both In the
city OF Lincoln. two and one-half miles

This card IL part OF campaign OF mis-
representation conducted by the interested
