authorities in London are considering
the substitution Of Spanish for Ger
man as second language in schools
and public examinations, The advau-
tages Of Spanish over German are thus
stated by one of the advocates Of the
change.
We do not want German trade. bu,
we do want South American trade
The Germans have made great prog
ress there, but the war has halted
them for the time being, so that gn'
field is open to Great Britain if we
can speak the language.
Spanish is easier to learn than Ger
man. 1t can be taught very quickly
to student Of French, which is the
first language in all English schools.
German is of little use outside Of
Germany. whereas Spanish is spoken
over a considerable part OF the
world.
The teaching Of Spanish is being
encouraged in the United States with
Ia view to that country's capturing
Germany's trade Great Britain TOO
wants share in that trade"

Sidelights on the European War

Petrograd- Correspondence of The

persistent rainy season over the
greater part OF the lighting front is
taken by the Russian peasants as
sign that the text inscribed on the
Iegimental standards God is on our
side'-is not misplaced The Russian
places great faith in the defensive
merits OF his rainy season especially in
the marshy sections, where intimate
knowledge Of the boys viii enable To-
cal guerilla bands, under the skilled
leadership Of picked Cossack daredev-
lis, TO keep up a continual harassment
Of the German tanks and rear.
The local peasantry alone is famil-
lar with the shifts and tricks of the
narshIands. especially in the treacb-
eT0us Pinsk district, for there the boys
vary with the seasons and according
to the rainfall A case has already
been reported from this district in
which a German column was sudden
" surrounded by a small force Of
suerilias, who crept by secret ways
across the swamps and raised an
alarm on all sides al once. The
enemy, seized with panic, endeavored
to find a way out and the whole col
umn disappeared in treacherous
morass which seemed possible road
to safety from the unknown strength
OF the attackers
1t is still somewhat early for the
appearance of the guerrillas. whose
best opportunity viii come when the
snow obliberates the landscape for
all save the native-born.

Fore.tration for Nebraska.

The Nebraska Academy of Sciences has
adopted resolution endorsing the report Of
the Nebraska Forestration commission and urg-
ing the adoption OF its recommendations. A
copy of this report is not at hand. so that II can
not here be discussed but the subject is one Of
immense Importance to Nebraska. That II has
BILE to us as progressive people.
AS far back as ten years ago, c. F. Harrison
OF York had demonstrated the adaptability Of
the jack pine to the climate and soil of Ne
braska's sand hill section. The inquiry, obser-
walton and experimentation OF the United States
Conservation commission established the prac-
ticabliity OF the forestration OF large portion
Of what is now waste land in Nebraska. 1t is
possible to make the sand hills bear pine trees
and grasses that will render the region avaia-
BILE for grazing purposes far beyond its present
possibilities.
The Bee has presented this matter to the
public on many occasions and has urged it on
the legislature as a proper subject for careful
attention. Forestration deserves TO be pushed,
because OF the good that II contains for the
future of the state, but 1t is for the state to
assume the expense and responsibility for the
direction and care of the enterprise that is
greater in its promise than nine out Of ten
projects put forward with more of urgency.
The action OF the Academy of Sciences should
not be permitted to fall with the adoption OF
the resolution referred to, but should be given
such support that when the next legislature
meets the subject OF forestration may be so
presented that IL cannot be ignored or pigeon
holed

Another Reviving Industry.

Reports from various shpyards and ma
chine shops along the coasts establish the fact
that the marine engineering industry is in very
healthy condition of activity just at present
Americans are really entering into ocean traffic
again with something like determination to
become a factor in the world carrying trade
The failure of the administration shipping bill
in the senate apparently was not fatal TO the
revival of enterprise along these lines. Numer-
GUS large ocean steamers under construction
now for American owners, to be added 10 the
cargo-carriers under the American flag. while
It is stated the American line will ask the gov
eminent for loan TO construct two ships OF the
Lusitania type, a matter which will have to
await congressional action.
Not alone are the ship builders Of the United
States busy with orders from American owners
but South American companies are buying many
vessels for increasing their merchant navies.
Facilities for docking in many eastern coast har-
bors are being increased and other improve
ments and extensions for greater facility in
handling ocean traffic are being provided. It
appears that the shipping business, seriously as
Il has been affected by the war, is not in q
bad way. and that Americans actually are taking
advantage Of the opportunity to again become
factor In ocean traffic.

ere two ways of developing Omaha as an in

hut Il is equally necessary to give the established
manufacturing concerns the local support they

grow is the steady expansion Of its various in
dustries increasing the number Of mechanics,
wage workers and other employees, who in turn
