The Sinking Of the FIVE.

An apparent deadlock has been reached in
the negotiations with Germany, arising from the
sinking Of the American steamer, William p.
Frye, by the sea-rover Karlsruhe In the South Pa
cific last winter. The German imperial govern
ment takes the position that a belligerent has
right to destroy the carrier OF contraband IL that
action be deemed expedient when encountered
on the high sea. In the case of the Frye, the
captain of the Karlsruhe held II would take too
long to jettison the cargo Of wheat, and SO sank
the vessel The United States contends the bel
ligerent has only the right to seize such portion
OF the cargo as may be contraband, and that the
sinking OF the Frye was an illegal act. The Ger
mans offer damages In PREPARATION, but decline
to disavow the sinking. Our government is will
ing to accept the damages offered, but will not
permit that act 10 be construed as a waiver OF
rights under the Prussian treaty Of 1898.
Much water has run under the bridge since
that treaty was signed. but the great principle
therein contained is not subject to change Both
Great Britain and Germany set up the altered
circumstances OF war in Justification OF acts that
violate the recognized law of nations. This spe.
clai pleading can not be permitted to prevail
since no circumstances can give to one or the
other OF the nations. whether beliigerent or neu.
trail, authority to write It's own rules to govern
traffic on the high seas. II the contentious now
advanced to meet the protests of the United
States we're permitted to stand, II would near
continual and general struggle for the control
OF the seas.
In this matter, Great Britain and Germany
are on precisely the same footing with the United
states. Whether the controversy goes to The
Hague or not 1t will eventually determine q
question that has been up to vex maritime ma
lions in every war.

Msstine the Mexican situation.

While the outcome Of the conference at
Washington between the representatives OF the
American powers is as yet ION the knees OF the
gods" the step seems to be one that will lead
to the ultimate solution OF the Mexican sltua-
ton. President Wilson's program, tenta-
lively outlined, will place the lions share of the
responsibility on the United States, but It is not
unlikely that the South American conferees may
offer something that will look TO q division OF
the coming task Of providing Mexico with re-
sponsible government. In a broad sense these
ether governments are quite as much concerned
in the matter as is the United States All-Ameri-
can relations are becoming more and more con-
CRETE, and the future, as il may be presently
fOrecasted indicates the desirability of the
closest understanding between the several gov
ernments Of the two countries. II is, therefore,
expedientp to say the least. that all share alike
in the adjustment of the internal difficulties OF
any, when the conditions make such interven-
ton absolutely essential and necessary.
That the several Mexican contestants should
be given full opportunity to present their
claims seems Just and proper. for a determine
ton of the issue can hardly be had without al
lowing the sides 10 be heard. This will mean
that several days will elapse before anything
definite can come from the conference

The Fall Of Warsaw.

BY the capture of Warsaw the German allies
have achieved another conspicuous gain in their
operations against Russia. The full Importance
Of the victory cannot at this time be calculated,
for Il has many possible bearings. and experts
differ as TO it's exact relation TO the entire cam
paign. II will serve. however. to show the in
tensity with which the Germans have pushed
their campaign on the eastern front OF the war,
while holding the French, English and Belgian
armies stationary on the west front. In this
way II will have a moral effect that will greatly
overtop its immediate military Importance.
Whether Grand Duke Nicholas has been able
TO extricate his army from the enveloping move
ment initiated some weeks ago by the Germans
is yet 10 be developed. For the present, one
side will undertake TO minimize and the other
&C. magnify the achievement. but II will not do
TO think that either is fooling itself as to ex-
actly what has taken place For Americans the
chefest interest will rest on the fact that now.
rs a year ago, the armies Of the kaiser are show
ing the greatest initiative. and pressing their
campaigns with the utmost vigor.

The New yitnsy ordinanO.

The new jitney ordinance adopted by the
city council will not meet with the objections
encountered by the old ordinance because It elm
mates the drastic exactions which threatened
TO put the jitney completely out of business. The
license fee under the new ordinance is merely
nominal. and the bond to secure responsibility
to passengers is certainly not excessive.
The Bee objected to the exorbitant license
fec in the old ordinance. and II was this that
justified the resort to the referendum upon it,
II our advice had been followed the new ordi-
nance would go still further than It does in the
direction Of safety for patrons, through physical
examination OF the auto and tests OF its machin-
cry. but the main thing is accomplished by the
license to identify owners. and TO insist upon
competent drivers. who will give the public de-
pendable service. The new ordinance. instead OF
driving the iitney out Of business. should make
jitney driving a legitimate business, and what
ever defects or omissions are developed by ex-
perienee may be easily corrected by amendment

Has Hope In Esperanto.


OMAHA, Aug. $40 the Editor Of The
Bee: In your Letter Box recently no
ticed a short letter by Charles p. Lang
concerning the international language.
Esperanto. Mr Editor, I am a native OF
Yucatan. although since childhood It has
been my good fortune to be able to call
tho United States my home. But during
my life have also travelled by various
means in various countries OF South
America and Europe and Africa. While
in these countries / have studied the
populace, from peasant, peon and slave
up to royal and imperial masters Among
all classes find there exists a desire
for better and greater knowledge both
OF themselves and their neighbors in
other countries. and other tongues.
sociability is the natural trait OF man
kind all over the earth, but this trait Is
seldom seen by the average foreigner.
Why?
Because where two persons Of different
tongues come together there exists lack
OF understanding. The case IN plain
words is. you perhaps are German, 1 am
perhaps English or French. You cannot
understand me and cannot understand
you. The result is embarrassment and
lack of cordiality between us ensues,
also as / have learned to my sorrow I'm
several South American experiences, a
clash often is the ultimate end. As con-
Germs commerce, II Is very plain that
where no cordiality exists business cannot
progress. II only some language, prac.
teal and harmonious, could be invented
to serve the needs of busy and misun-
derstanding humanity as an auxiliary
tongue. peoples OF widely different and
difficult tongues. / truly think suffering
humanity would lose half of it's economic
burden.
Various attempts have been made to
establish the use of an existing language
as an auxiliary, but these attempts have
all failed, partially because the promoters
of the idea were not able to convince the
world that any one national language
was better suited to serve this purpose
than the rest But the greater reason
has been the complexity and difficulty OF
tearing any one national existing Ian
guage. The business man is too busy,
the laborer too poor and too busy.
Latin was considered by many for an
international purpose on the grounds that
as a dead language It favored no one
NAHUM ~ 10 usou ny many OF tne priest
hood and scholars. but for the average
man 1t has the old objections of being
difficult to learn, requiring also much
time and some money; also II has been
found too ancient for modern needs.
l often have heard Of Esperanto as the
language of hope, being easy to acquire,
recurring very little time and the ex-
penditure of little money. Shall we now
then turn our attention to this language
Of hope in an effort to solve the problem
OF better understanding?

Six months ago Bethlehem Steel was a neg

The Latin BuwaboO.

TILDEN, Neb.. Aug. ITO the EDITOR
Of The Bee: The opening OF the school
year is at hand and with It comes the
Latin bugaboo" affrighting the high
school student. with his mind already
made UP only to just acquire enough
to keep out ct trouble with the school
authorities; while the most common COM
plant among teachers is, that language
study Is attempted before grammatical
constructions are comprehended. Fancy
the hopelessness OF teaching Latin. or
a modern tongue, to a student who does
not understand the demonstrative, and
relative pronouns and the instructor
seeks TO illustrate the "qui. quae, quod''
with an English sentence as ~ say that
that that, that you said. was not that
that, that you said that. that that was.
At which many q teacher will be cast into
q confused mass of questionable homo
nyms, herself; whose offices are widely
dissimilar and yet all wear the same
uniform; for here are demonstratives,
relatives. nouns and other constructions
wrapped in the same garb. The Latin
fabric is necessity to comprehend Eng
lish. even though its grammar is com
pick. yet II furnishes a series OF small
problems to be solved by the dictionary,
and contrasts with mathematics, which
deals in other proportions; therefore
language study IL a valued source Of
development and can only be mastered
by the equivalent language study to
facilitate logical construction. which the
arbitrary forms Of many modern tongues
fail to render.
Therefore. II the student would study
a type language that would correspond
in the linguist hierarchy with Euclid, or
the first rules OF arithmetic in the nathe-
NAUTICAL realm; being clear, consistent
self evident and OF universal appiica-
ton the bugaboo OF ancient as well as
modern language study would disappear.
The above cited That sentence wou..
then be rendered so simple that a grade
pupil would at sight discern the intro
ductories. demonstratives. relatives, nouns
as well as other constructions; which
here appear in the same form, by means
OF this international language, which
would thus become the clearing house
OF tongues and q neutral friend OF them
all. CHARLES p. LANG.
