The ExtOrtiOnere.

OMAHA, Aug. 15.--To the Editor of
The Bee: The administration is con-
@onted with the problem of raising
about NOo,OOO,0OO to make up losses on
account Of falling off of custom receipts,
etc. hope they will not overlook the
fellows that are now taking in an ex-
orbitant profit on sugar, coffee, beans,
etc. II the poor devil in the country has
to pay excessive profits on necessities
and then stand a war tax besides, what
inducement is there to support govern
ment that will permit such a graft to
be worked on the people. II. A.

The War and Its Causes.

OMAHA, Aug. 1b.-To the Editor of
The Bee: Mr.. Barthelme pleads elo-
quently and plausibly for Germany in
this war but he does not state the case
fairly It is true Teutonic is superior to
Slavic civilization, but that does not give
Austria any right to dominate and even
annex small Slavic states, as it has in re-
cent years. 1t holds even Hungary solely
by military power; all the Slavs east OF
1t are In constant fear of annexation.
There is no nation in Europe more greedy
of conquest than Austria and It should
suffer alone the consequences of its In"
justice to its eastern neighbors. True.
Germany Is in the triple alliance, but
so is italy, whose people refused to aid
Austria in its unjust war Germany
might have done the same.
As long as the contest was confined to
Austria and Servia 1t was, as Mr.. Bar
thelme says, contest between Slav ana
Teuton, but now II is like a general 1og
fight in which no one knows just what
he is fighting for, except that he is bound
to pitch in by alliance or entente. 1t is
not a race conflict, but Slav. Latin and
Saxon against German and Hun, Italy re-
fusing to participate. 1t is not therefore,
contest between inferior and superior
civilizations, but between the most civil
lied nations of Europe.
We admire the German people. Millions
of them have become American citizens
The kaiser is the dominating spirit in Eu-
rope IL he had said no, there would have
been no war, or at most only between
Austria and Servia, Russia, France and
England were reluctantly forced into this
greatest struggle in history 1t Is war
of rulers rather than people. II. after bill
lions of dollars are wasted and millions
Of lives lost, the people do not demand a
change in government am no prophet.

OLD HOUSES OPTIMISTIC

New York, Oct. 2S-Wide diversity In
interest rates is causing all sorts of com
plications in stock exchange circles. Gus
toners read in the daily papers OF call
money offered at 6 per cent and object
to interest charges of per cent, although
many houses have been unable to get
their rates reduced owing to the inability
Of clients to furnish collateral satisfac-
tory TO lenders.
Rates vary with the difference in the
standing Of the commission houses and
the quality of the collateral behind loans.
Steady pressure is notable against nom
payable dividends securities and many
'astocks and bonds that were acceptable
early in. July are not acceptable in loans
today.
Interest May Go Lower.
In some instances call loans were
marked below per cent today and bank
rs predict Q per cent rate next week.
But these figures only embarrass houses
