The court also afiirms the judgment of

ceived while in the employ Of the Kmeri-
can Smelling an6 Refining company.
The court reverses the judgment secured
by Paul Nickel against Robert Butke in
tho Douglas county district court for
damages received while in his employ.
The court affirms the judgment secured
by Mary A. Rosencrans against the Mod
ern Woodmen of America, the court hold
ing that absence for seven years was
sufficient to warrant the presumption
of death of her husband, Charles II. NJ
Rosencrans. and that the policy was
payable.
Confession Properly Received.
In the murder case OF Fuller shellen-
berger, who was found guilty OF the
murder of Julian Bahuand in Nemaha
county, and sentenced to Imprisonment
for life, the court holds that the con-
fession Voluntarily made by Shellen-
berger before arrest and before any ao-
cusation had been made, was properly
secured BY the court in evidence. The
opinion which was written by Justice

partial administration of justice demand
a chance to produce all the material
evidence upon which he (Shellenberger)
relies"

sian in his application for legal authority
to take back his old name of ''Moham-
med Nadir,' has not shown sufficient and
reasonable cause for the court granting
the change.
The opinion is by Justice Rose, Justice
Sedgwick dissenting and Barnes and
Hamer concurring in the opinion of Sedg-
wick.

RcpriSalS Bound to Fail

THERE is but one thing good that NAV be
said OF the bombardment of Karlsruhe
by French aircraft--that the French War
Office. in its official announcement, commits
no hypocrisy. 1t does not take the trouble
to declare that Karlsruhe was fortified and
II pays only casual attention to the supposed
military advantages OF the raid 1t was an
act OF reprisal-so admitted and proclaim ed
and France makes no bones OF it.
Heretofore acts of reprisal have been
confined almost exclusively to Germany and
Russia. The tender treatment of Belgian
women and chidren-so we were told--was
an act OF reprisal So was the bomba rdment
of watering places the English coast So
was the dropping Of aerial bombs on sleeping
villages So was. and is, the murderous
ferocity of submarine warfare. So the use Of
asphyXiating gases. In fact. German eff
ficiency and preparedness have not been bet
ter eNemplfed than in German capacity to get
in reprisals somewhat ahead Of those crimes
OF the enemy they are supposed to avenge
In East Prussia the CosSacks of the Car have
done what they could. it would seem to live
up 10 their old regulations and establish
their present passion for modern military
kultur.
The attack on Karlsruhe has no real war
rant. Reprisal in civilized warfare has a
definite and limited scope and purpose. If
one beligerent kill prisoners. the other as
an act OF reprisal. may do likewise: but justi-
hcatlon for this lies not in the infiction of
punishment on the helpless victims, but in
the thought that it will stay the repetition of
the original crime
We do not believe that any reprisals
France and England may plan or commit will
have any such effect Frightfulness appar-
emily, is carefully considered component of
the German method of warfare and there
can be small understanding OF the minds that
inspire and direct this warfare in the thought
that they will be turned from their policy by
amateur attempts at imitation.
The murder OF German noncombatants will
not discourage the murder of English French
or Belgian noncombatants. Rather will it
spur frightfulness to the commission of new
atrocities. The allies, when they engage in
THIS rivalry, take up hopeless cause. De
cidcdly. il is not their game, and they are
bound to lose.
They will lose also something of more
value, which is the good opinion of the neu-
trail world. When the war on both sides de-
generates into barbarism, not much will re-
main for neutral choice.

He Missed His Time to Die

IT HERE was double tragedy in the death
L OF Lieutenant Reginald \. j. Warneford,
who was killed on Thursday by his aeroplane S
fall. There was the obvious tragedy of the
snuffing out of gallant and venturcsome
spirit, and the more grievous tragedy of that
spirits destruction in mere trial light, that
followed within few days exploit that
caught and held the attention of the world.
On June young Warncfori in his aero
plane destroyed Il Zeppelin, by rising high
above his unwieldy antagonist and dropping
bombs on it. II was the first time that Il
single aviator had won such triumph. and
ii gained for him the Victoria Cross and the
Cross OF the Legion OF Honor. Ten days
later he took an enterprising magazine writer
for a spin through the air and with his pas
senger, topped to earth.
How much better it would have been for
hm-how much closer would he have APP
proNimated the soldiers ideal-had he be-
come involved in the wreck OF the Zeppelin
for which he had accounted. and met then
and there soldiers death.

Ice is sent wherever ii is requircd-and the
