FOREIGN Trade Of United States.

Externally the commerce of the United States
has suffered quite severely, as result Of the
war. but It Is far from being dead as is shown
by the bulletin Of the Department Of Commerce.
The imports at thirteen principal ports for the
week ending January 80. amounted to more than
$27,000o00, while the exports sent out from the
same ports totalled above sss,O00, 900. These
thirteen ports handle about so per cent OF the
foreign commerce OF the United States, so that
the whole showing for the week in question will
be well above $100.00O.0O0, volume Of ex-
ternal trade that Is quite satisfactory,
Trading between the United States and Euro
pean ports Is still very brisk, despite the inter
ruptions incident to the war. The nature Of the
articles imported has been much changed. and
not few things that were formerly purchased
abroad IN large quantities are now being made
at home. Many articles OF manufacture which
formerly figured but lightly in the export trade
are now being sent abroad in large quantities
These facts directly and fayerably affect the in
dustriar situation In the United Stares.
Large shipments are being steadily made to
the countries at war. and with the adjustment
OF certain questions In connection with the con-
troll OF the seaways sim further activity in the
export trade may be looked for The United
states Is the great source OF supply for the world

Let tha Rirda Alone

The Nebraska senate has just performed a
real service for the farmers of the state by put
ting a quietus on bill that had for It's purpose
the determination OF the crows. 1t seems little
bit remarkable that at this time any farmer
should be found shortsighted enough TO give
his countenance to movement having for its
aim the Interference in any way with the birds
who make their summer homes in this state
Nebraska Is blessed with a wonderful variety
OF birds. and the farmer should understand that
these are his best friends The slight cost OF
crop damage that may result from the presence
OF the birds, no matter OF what variety, Is more
than repaid BY their activity in destroying insect
pests whose unchecked ravages, would soon do
nude the state OF all growing things. The crows,
In particular, are the foes OF the rodents whose
Expectations would soon amount TO damage far
greater than could possibly be wrought by the
birds themselves. The slight.toIl that is taken
from the fields and orchards of the state is but
little recompense for the service actually per-
formed BY the birds. BY all means let them
alone,

ECONOMY. or arand.tand Plarl

We are just now being RECALLED with much
OF laudaton of Governor Morehead his numer-
Gus virtues and excellent qualifications being
extensively extolled, preparatory, an observer
might conclude, 10 some further flight by his
excellency across the political fields OF Nebraska
However, the zeal Of the governors advocates
now and again seem to outrun the limit OF pru-
dence, and place him in position against which
some legitimate criticism may be directed.
For example, we are just now informed that
during his term OF office. Governor Morehead
has made no charge against the state for the
expenses incident TO maintenance OF the executive
mansion In Lincoln nor for money expended on
account OF Journeys the executive OF the state
may from time to time be required to take In
connection with his official functions. This
would be well enough. but coupled with it Is a
showing OF the moneys expended on these items
by his predecessors in office going back to Gov
ernor Savage. and coming down through Messrs.
Mickey, Sheldon. shallenberger and Aldrich. thus
insinuating that Mr.. Morehead has been very
considerste when II came 20 saving the state
money.
The question comes up here. is this economy
or merely grandstand play on the part Of the
governor The state of Nebraska is we'll able
and quite willing to pay its officials, and GER
tainly does not require that its executive serve
at loss to himself. Appropriations for delay
ing the legitimate expenses OF the governor
have always been made IN good faith, and demo-
Gratis and republicans alike have availed them
selves OF the provision. The salary Of the gov
etnor is not sufficient to pay the expenses he is
iegitimately required 70, assume an effort TO i'm
crease this pay was defeated by the voters last
fall. but not with any intention that the governor
should be compelled to pay out more than the
state allows him. II such policy were adopted
II would effectuslly preclude poor man from
aspiring to the office.
Governor Morehead has perfect right to de-
cline an expense account allowance from the
state, and to defray from his own means the en-
tire cost Of maintaining himself in office. but
he should not criticize. even by innuendo. his
predecessors in office because they did not antic
pate his democratic devotion to economy

L..,,an,n ana the Flag.

OMBAHA, Neb, Feb. Ito the Edi-
tor Of The Bee: Referring 10 your re-
cent editorial on sthe Lusitania incident,
1 wish to ask IL your presentation Of the
same is not misleading. especially where
you compare It with the case of the EN-
den," a German cruiser, which dlstin-
guished itself by the construction Of
dummy fourth funnel in order to deceive
a French and a Russian man-of-war. de-
stroying both Their claim that the En-
den also flew the Japanese flag has been
denied and has never been proven The
two incidents present no parallel what
ever French. Russians and Japanese
were enemies at war with Germany The
Lusitania is an English merchant vessel
hiding behind the flag OF, neutral and
friendly nation. In no instance during
the war did German ships fly the flag OF
neutral nation. which disposes of the
claim of "a case In precedence"
1t Is also erroneous to say that it Is
practically impossible for submarines 10
stop q fast steamer and that II is an
easy matter for such a steamer TO escape
a submarine. In your own columns, you
reported but shortly that the German
submarine U-21 within two days stopped
i've English steamers and destroyed them
after making their crews take 20 the hfe-
boats. l believe this dlsproves also the
statement made in your editorial that
the declared German blockade OF Eng
iish waters IL only paper blockade.
In view OF these facts ] must also
take issue with your conclusion that the
Lusitanla incident is of no consequence.
You win remember that at the beginning
Of the war the English press, voiced
furious protests against German mine
laying trawlers. claiming they had sailed
under neutral flags (which has never been
proven). and denounced the alleged act
is a shameful violation OF International
law At that time. as ruse Of the
Germans. II was deserted as a wicked
wrong, but when the English Lnsitania
flies the stars and stripes. ''the practice
10 rs old as civiliAed warfare and Is com
monty resorted to-" Can IL be that
anything England does is well done?
The abuse OF the United States flag
Is distinctly an unneutral act and only
an ally OF England could pass It over
without vigorous protest. Hiding be-
hind the United States flag is bad faith
and confession Of weakness on Eng
lands part. DR. HERM GERHARD

SOUTH OMAHA. Feb. l3--To the Editor
OF The Bee; Tho question OF consolidating
the smaller cities surrounding Omaha with
that city Is one that should receive the
support of all the broad-Hninded citizens
Of our state. Nebraska is one OF the lead
ing western states and should have one
or two large cities within it's borders
commensurate with its splendid possiblIl-
ties and the legislature should see that
the selfish interests of few politicians
be not permitted to block the onward
march Of the largest city of our state.
Minnesota's pride Is ST. Paul and Minne-
apolis; Wisconsin boasts Of its Milwaukee.
and Missouri Of its ST. Louis and Kansas
City. and they are all splendid cities and
every one OF them In their great growth
absorbed various cities. towns and vii
lagos that stood In the way Of their ex-
psnsion.
is there any reason why Nebraska,
with the contiguous support Of western
Iowa, should not make Omaha as large
as Kansas City, thereby inviting men who
invest only IN large cities TO open up
large factories and other industries within
our state, giving semployment to thou
sands OF men within our borders who now
60 elsewhere? This cannot be done un-
less the city of Omaha is permitted by
the legislature to expand and take in the
several small cities and towns surround
ing II, and which thrive in small way
by reason OF its greatness, and as a tax
payer OF South Omaha for fifteen years
know that the mass of tho solid citi-
gems therein favor consolidation.
have too much faith In the integrity
Of our legislature to think that the pres
ence of city officials drawing In many
cases over IS per day from the laboring
taxpayers OF our city, spending days in
Lincoln as supplicants to be retained in
office, and in no manner representing the
sentiment OF the actual taxpayers Of our
city. win in any manner be influenced
thereby, Onward march, should be the
slogan Of every Nebraskan. and every
member of the legislature. Let us all be
proud OF Omaha and Lincoln and help
them to be the Minneapolis and st. Paul
