GERMANY'S GREAT STRENGTH
IN ITS MACHINE GUNS

British Headquarters, France, June
26.- 1t is almost impossible to exag-
gerate the Importance of the German
strength in machine guns, which they
use with the greatest skill and courage.
They had a stock of $4,000 on hand
at the beginning of the war, and have
been keeping this supply replenished
constantly from their arms factories.
A favorite trick is to leave ma
chine gun or two hidden in a cellar or
similar place of concealment until the
enemy's advance has swept by, and
then open fire on the rear. The post
Of the men serving the gun is of
course hopeless, but they are fairly
certain to sell their lives dearly. con.
tinuing to fire their gun to the last.
As an instance of the deadly swift
ness of machine gun fire, it is stated
that man coming under the fire of
one of these weapons and shot through
the head can be struck yet ten times
more in the second or two that he
takes to fall to the ground.

CANAL TRAFFIC IN BRITAIN
REVIVED AS RESULT OF WAR

London, June 26.-The war has
brought about revival of canal traf-
fic throughout Great Britain, and the
canal companies are doing better than
they have done in many years. This is
due mainly to the congestion of the
railways and at the ports.
Practically the only limit to the
traffic available to the canal com
panies is set by the shortage of labor
and barges. Most of the younger
bargemen joined either the army or
navy early in the war, and the canals
like the railways, are frequently COM
PEELED to refuse traffic because they
cannot find men to handle it.

What Of Those New school Buildings !

After an energetic publicity campaign i'm
pressing upon the people the dire necessity OF
additional school facilities to relieve existing
pressure a bond issue OF 100000 was
submitted and voted, almost without opposition,
at the election held the first Tuesday Of last
May. Since then the third month is now pass
ing with no move being made, so far as the pub
lie 10 aware, in the direction of getting down to
business with the construction OF new school
buildings. First the delay was ascribed to the
desire to wait until IL was definitely known
whether consolidation would carry, but the con-
solidation election is nearly two months In the
distance, So can have nothing to do with present
conditions.
The main point is that II the school build
ings were urgent in April how can they be
less urgent In July? How can II be possible to
relieve school congestion the coming year IL the
building season is permitted to so by without
even q start. when 70 erect suitable structure
In the proper manner will at best consume from
six TO ten months? II is hardly likely we know,
that the entire million dollars can be advan-
tageously used new school buildings all at
once, but the voting Of the money was In re-
Spouse to a specific demand, and the intention
was that this demand should be met. not next
year, or in the dim and distant future but now.

The Newest Submarine.

A few days ago a submerSble boat Of the
American navy came into New York harbor from
a South Atlantic station. after a nonstop run
Of 1850 miles. So far as is known. this exceeds
any performance of this type of boat elsewhere
recorded. Now. the latest Of these craft has
shown by careful test that 1t has . cruising
radius OF 5000 miles. or that 1t can cross the
Atlantic to Europe and return without taking
on fuel other supplies. Ordinarily, this in
formation would not be of moro than momentary
concern to the public. but in these days when
alarmists are DINING into the public ear that
our navy is deteriorating. that we are as de-
fenseless as an oyster without shell and the
inventive genius Of the country is to be enlisted
in hope of saving US. II Is we'll TO realize that
our naval designers and constructors are capa-
BILE OF producing craft as efficient as any ever

The Governor and Good Roads.

Every citizen of Nebraska can join with Gov
ernor Morehead in his advocacy Of the good
roads campaign. Much progress has been
made in Nebraska already. for here the
roads problem is not involved with many Of the
complications and difficulties presented else
where. This state is well favored by nature for
the easy construction and maintenance OF fine
high roads, which fact perhaps accounts for the
people tagging somewhat behind in their efforts
to improve on nature even 80 slightly. No
matter from what source came the stimulus, the
apathy in this direction has been overcome, and
Nebraskans are now as much interested as any
in the condition Of their highways. AS result
the state is gaining much in the estimation OF
those who travel between towns by modern
methods, but the existing good roads can easily
be made better, and effort expended on them
will be well repaid.

SOUTH SIDE. July Ito the Editor
Of The Bee: l saw by the papers OF
yesterday that now IL the time to kill
doves. If there Is one bird that ought
to be saved above all others from the
gun of the fellows who think they are
sportsmen IL is the gentle and innocent
dove.
II has been a wonder to me that the
legislature has not passed an act to
protect the dove and to save II from
further destruction. At tho rate they
have been killed In the last few years
they will soon go the way of the wild
pigeon and the buffalo. The American
spirit as furthered by Roosevelt and
others that think they are sportsmen is
to kill all wild animals and birds. That
is one reason for my dislike of Roose-
Welt. A few years ago when we would
drive out in the country we could see
doves in large numbers along the fences
and hedges. Now 1t is a rare thing to
see one in going along the roads for
many miles. Instead of protecting the
squirrels that destroy birds and their
nests and are general nuisance be-
sides. the legislature should pass an act
to protect doves for a number Of years
at least, for thoy are of some use while
squirrels do moro damage by far than
they are worth.
I believe that a movement TO protect
doevs should be started with the pur-
pose OF getting the next legislature to
pass an act to forbid their further de-
struction. for the man with the sporting
gun will soon have them totally exter-
minated.
Let us try 20 discourage the destruc-
ton Of the fine old turtle dove. for Il
ought to be regarded as q shame that
such fine birds should be destroyed for
the little mouthful Of meat that may be
on them. F. A. AGNEw,
