VIENNA, by mail to New York,
Dec. l0.-Lieutenant Franz kOales-
li, recovering in local hospital
iltom bullet wound through his
right lung, today gave a wonderfully
vivid and gripping account of one
more horror of the present great
European war-the horror OF the
Galician marshes.
These marshes extend tor almost
cTdless miles through great stretches
OF Galicia. Their almost fathonlless
nires are the accumulation OF CEN
turies OF decayed vegetable and ami
NAL matter. From them arise con
family malaria and other miasmatic
eNhalation> equally as deadly as the
5reachcrous ground, which a rank
growth Of grass cohceals. Once a
man by chance steps in this. he never
comes forth again And into one IF
these Lieutenant koaleski saw a
whole regiment of Russian soldiers
sink, sink sink-until the sickening
Gcath-dealins mire closed over the
last feeble gurgle OF its struggling
victims
"'Forward' Charge, to the as
,ault' was the cry that rang down
oar ranks said Lieutenant Koaleski
The Russian saw us coming and
for a moment stood still, as if con-
fused, too perplexed to move. Then
out rang their cry of About face,
and away they went.
But it was only for an instant For
1t the next instant something strange
.;Ad unusual happened. From what
could be ascertained at the moment
the Russians. who had been the first
to turn and run. had stopped sud
denly. Perhaps it was for the pur-
pose of reorganization, perhaps for
the purpose OF opposing resistance.
Yet, so burning were the Austrians
with the lust of the chase that they
barely perceived this strange fact.
They perceived only that they were
constantly and rapidly approaching
with every leap and bound to the
ranks of the Russians. and then in an
instant more they were all but upon
them.
Then it was that they perceived

dcnly stopped themselves. still kept

Ten Billions in Crops.

Figures just made public by the Department
OF Agriculture place the farm value of the
principal crops for the year at more than
S6,250 100000. To this must be added the
value OF the minor yields and the live stock
output, which brings the total up to more than
10000. 600 900. This enormous sum is four
times the total amount of the foreign trade Of
the United States, concerning which so great a
fuss is made. The total is the most eloquent
tribute that could possibly be paid to the agri-
cultural industry Of the country, 1t is so en-
phatic in it's nature that It seems to impress
even the democrats. who have hitherto shown a
determination to treat the farmer as a negligi-
BILE factor in the affairs OF the nation.
Some new records have been made, the
value OF corn, wheat. oats and hay exceeding
that of any previous year. while cotton failed to
establish new record. II has value Of more
than S75,O0o,O0O above last years crop King
Cotton, however, has been set back 20 fourth
place. corn. wheat and hay. all coming ahead
of the southern staple in the order OF value.
Even winter wheat alone is priced at figures
900 above the cotton yield for the year
Nebraska's share in this tremendous total is
such as not only establishes the Importance OF
this state as an agricultural producer, but
means the continued prosperity of its people
II has indeed been bumper year for crops. and
the future for the farmer is Consequently cor.

Hold Omen Connoil Meetings.

The omaha city council has just tried the
experiment Of sitting in the open as an excise
hoard. Its members profess TO be so well salts
fled with the result that they propose TO con-
tnue the practice. No good reason can be adj
vanced for the transaction Of any public bust
ness by public body behind closed doors. All
sessions OF the city council should be open to
the public at all times. and especially those ses-
sions which have to do with the granting Of
saloon licenses. Closed doors and secrecy are
always suggestive Of desire to cover up some
thing. No suspicion should be permitted to at
tach to the transaction of public business at
any time. The city commissioners know this.
and for their own protection should never sit in
secret.

RemOdeling the Communion.

Experience has demonstrated that the Inter
state Commerce commission as at present con-
stituted Is not properly adjusted to meet the re-
ouirements of its purpose. Growth OF the trans
portation industry in the United States has been
so rapid, and Il has developed In so many unex-
pected ways each presenting its own peculiar SER
les of problems, that the complications conse-
ouent have far outstrpped the scope OF the Inter
state Commerce commission. This fact is rec
ognized by the commission itself, and the report
now before congress asking for enlargement
of the body does not come altogether as a sur
prise.
Students Of the transportation problem we're
agreed that the country should be subdivided
into districts. wherein the conditions we're so
nearly similar as to make uniformity of control
comparatively easy. This plan is suggested by
the commission iteelf. II does not comprehend
any recession from the theory under which tho
commission was formed. or the principle upon
which II has operated BY the setting up Of
qualified tribunals within properly defined dis
tricts the questions arising within these districts
may be much more readily adjusted than is at
present possible There need be no more con-
flict between these tribunals than there is at
present between the several federal district and
circuit courts While final review may be left
to the general commission at Washington. local
matters will be adjusted within their own dis
trict. This plan should be eventually SO carried
cut that possible conflict between national and
state laws governing rights and conditions for
the industry may be harmonized to a point where
| friction will vanish.
Only on some such basis can the transporta-
ton industry Of the country be given the proper
protection without in any degree abandoning the
control which the public should have over t..

History Repeating Itself.

Our one war with France grew out Of a sit
uation exactly similar to that which now con-
fronts the two nations In the earliest years Of
the United States existence, the French under
took TO assert a right to overhaul and search
American vessels and to impress seamen found
thereon. to remove passengers, and to otherwise
outrage American rights. This was promptly
and properly resented. and a war OF short dura-
ton resulted. followed by peace which restored
the friendship that has since continually sub
sisted between the two nations
II is surprising that at this time the French
would again undertake practice that they
must know will be vigorously resented by this
government. Our history is full of incidents in
which the United States has gone to the limit In
asserting its right to protect any who may
properly be- under its flag. In thus asserting itF
own right, It as cheerfully recognized the same
right in other nations. The Trent affair is cited
again as an illustration of this
Without knowledge OF the text of the note
dispatched by Secretary Lansing to Paris. 1t
may be assumed that It firmly states the posi-
ton Of the United States on this question. II
is due to our standing the foremost among
neutral nations to insist that this neutrality be
respected by all, and no exception can be made
in the case OF France.
