SOUTH OMAHA, Feb 9.--To the Editor
OF Inc Bee; In times past when the con-
solidation of South Omaha with Omaha
mas been agitated the ants have said,
Wait until bill is passed that viii en-
able US to see Just what We are getting"
They said we would get nothing by an
nexing to Omaha unless some provision
was made In advance. Now, when the
Howell bill provides for even more than
we are entitled TO. they make great
noise about forcible annexation. All who
make so much noise about It are opposed
to the consolidation by any means. either
forcible or by vote OF the people.
1t Is my opinion that IL every person
IN South Omaha over 10 years OF age was
asked to point out The line on Twenty
fourth street between Omaha ana south
Omaha that not Is per cent OF them could
do IL unless shown where II is. When the
two cities are so closely interviewer and
are practically one in everything but name
there Is no reason why they should be
separate any longer,
Some who fear their relatives may be
pried loose from city offices are squeal-
ing loudly and protest against the emer-
gency clause in the bill. II we are going
TO be annexed 70 Omaha the sooner the
better. Even those most opposed TO Il
say 1t VIII come some time and Il might
as well be done first as last and be over
with. The people who went to Lincoln
have the noise. but those who favor the
passage OF the Howell bill are very much
more numerous.
Let as cut south out and make il
Omaha forever from now on.

OAKLAND. Ia, Feb. e--To the Editor
q The Bee; Will you please explain fully
the word "jitney?"-Yours truly,
READER.
Note-The word has not appeared in
the dictionary but will probably In com
ing editions. In the commonly accepted
sense "Jitney' means a small coin. II
is said to be Russian word with the
same meaning. Some attribute SC to the
Japanese. The word was frequently
heard on the midway of the Omaha ex-
position in 1885, meaning small coin or
what might be purchased for a small
coin, as. for example. a .ijitney sand
wich." for cents. As distinctive name
for bus service in cities, In opposition to
street cars. it signifies not the vehicle
but the fare--''a small coins cents.

that the allied governments are pro-
with the rights of neutrals to trade
with a belligerent in ARTICLES of non
contraband, and in the case of neu-
trail countries adjacent to the Allies
enemies with the rights OF neutra s
to trade with one another.
While officials here have not yet
had time To- study this new notice,
or reach any final conclusion regard
ing 1t. certain considerations involved
have ALREADY made themselves appar-
ent. 1t was pointed out that the new
policy of the allies seeks to obtain
for them all the advantages of a
blockade without any Of it's RESPONSE
bilities. The imposition OF a blockade
upon Germany, Austria and Turkey is
not desired by the allies because OF
the grave dangers of such a course
owing to the new elements of danger
TO the blockadng fleets In mines and
submarines, and also because OF the
vast number of ships that would be
required to make such blockades Of
the three enemy countries effective.
Makes All Goods Contraband.
What they have chosen In prefer
ence to the blockade is, according to
the view here, to make all goods des-
tined to the enemy contraband, what
ever their nature, and at the same
time declaring their purpose to seize
all goods cmanating from enemy
countries. The United States has al
ready protested to Great Britain
against its expansion of the appH~a-
ton OF the rules regarding contra
band, particularly with reference to
goods shipped via neutral countries
over which there has been a great
deal of friction. The new policy ag-
gravates this situation. Furthermore.
the burden of proof as to innocence
as to destination thrown upon the
90 rturna and the captors, who under
international law heretofore has
borne this burden, Is relieved.
