However. the children do net play
freely all the time Each playground
has a daily program that IL aims TO
carry out as closely as possible The
days are divided into half hour per
jods many Of which are devoted TO in
strnctive yet pleasant, work, such as
rafia and kindergarten work; then
there is the story hour and an hour
in which rirg and athletic games are
played. The following program will

ton Of the German war board that
when it IS unable to defeat the British
navy legitimately in battle. it is en-
titled to try to force the British nation
to its knees by campaign Of terror
against noncombstants." The gist of
the German argument, then, appears
to be this:
England can't starve us; but just
because she tries to. we've got to sink
English ships and neutral ships. too.
If they get in our way-for we owe
it to civilization to teach tine British
cabinet a lesson.
Proceeding with his calculation of
the principle" involved, DR.. Won ia
gov explains that there is no prece-
dent for the siege of the civilian pop
ulation OF whole nation in its own
land, with no possibility of escape"
DR.. Won Jagow would hardly expect
that statement to be accepted here if
he knew American history What he
declares to be without precedent is
precisely what the United States did
to the Confederate states in our Civil
War. II is also what Great Britain
did to the Beers in its South African
war Germany herself established an
excellent precedent in her subjugation
o. Belgium by starvation last summer
Every fair-minded American will adj
nit thar the situation is really debat-
able that there is a German side to
IT. But Germany has been amazingly
unfortunate in not having that side
better presented than It mas been by
her foreign secretary and her other
public spokesmen.

1t is surprising to note the
large number Of people who
favor the idea of the Omaha
railway company stopping its
regular passenger trains at the
Washington avenue crossing.
Fully half of the people travelling
upon trains coming into the city
would be benefited if the train
made this additional stop. AS it
now is the trains run through
the city to the depot in the east
end and passengers who live in
the west end are compelled to
walk the entire distance back a
gain in order to get to their homes.
If the train stopped at Washing
ton avenue, fully two-thirds of
the people travelling would get
off the train at this stop.
There is also consid cradle com
plant on the freight service at
the depot. The force at the de-
pot is doing all possible to handle
business promptly but on account
of cramped conditions are unable
to give service.
The present platform where
the freight cars are spotted is
only long enough for two cars
and some times many more than
that are waiting to be unloaded.
The people of Washburn are
entitled to better service, both in
the passenger department and in
the freight department, and the
attention of the Omaha officials
should be called to this. About
the only thing that will relieve
conditions would be the building
of a new passenger depot which
would separate the passenger
service from their freight.
