ADD CHURCHILL

ADD CHURCHILL =. Winston Spencer Churchill. who has resigned his cabinet portfolio of chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, and plans to join his regiment at the front, had a great personal triumFh in the House of Commons yesterday
 where he delivered his speech in which he outlined his connection with important moves in the war while first lord of the admiralty.
 His unexpected revelations, how
 ever, had a somewhat dismaying eff feet upon the editorial writers of the London morning papers, who for months had been assuming that MT. Churchill was wholly responsible for what has been termed "blunders in carrying out the war operations and who had been rather lavish in bestowing adverse criticism upon him. They now are inclined to blame the government for not making these revelations before. and seem to find difficulty in making amends to Mir Churchill.
 The Times, in an editorial frankly absolves the retiring minister.
 His speech undoubtedly was a parliamentary triumph says the Times, "and we think the country. reading it this morning in a calmer atmosphere, will pronounce it a statesmanlke utterance marked by restraint as well as by force. and admirably calculated to achieve it's object. It's broad effect is that on the facts that he stated them he must be completely absolved from the specific charges of independent action brought against him."
 The Morning Post, on the other hand is still dissatisfied and argues that if on October 1S the king of Belgium had been allowed to carry out his project of retreat on the coast he could have extricated his army without serious loss, and saved Antwerp from bombardment and that it was Mir ChurchilPs advice that led to the delay The Morning Post criticizes other points in MT Churchill's speech in the same spirit. and in conclusion says:
 Upon the whole we are still very much reEeved that Mr Churchill left the admiralty, and we sincerely hope that he will not be allowed to assume any position of superior command in the army
 The Liberal Daily News thinks it would have been better had MT Churchill maintained discreet silence i Dealing with his revelations it still | charges him with recklessness. and | says it hopes Admiral Lord Fisher | will not reply to the speech.
 According to the Times, Admiral l Fishers own inclination would be to make a reply. but that he may be swayed by the natural wish of the government to avoid a personal con- troversy between two masterful men, both of whom have been good ser wants of the state

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

COUPON Cal, Nov. 15-The Liberty Bell paused here for half an hour this afternoon on it's return trip to Philadelphia, and during it's brief stay was viewed by several | thousand men, women and children of Cotton and surrounding towns. Inc tell arrived at o'clock, forty 1 five minutes behind scheduled time.
 As the historic emblem arrived it was greeted by a salute by Company K, of the California National Guard. from San Bernardino. Wreaths of red, white and blue flowers were placed about the bell by school girls as Colton's tribute to the bell As the children offered their flowers, daylight fireworks unfurled the na- tional colors in the sky.
 School children and their elders at Pomona, Ontaria, and other towns through which the Liberty Bell passed on it's trip here from Los Angeles, lined the railroad tracks for a fleeting glimpse of the bell.
 The next stop will be made at Yuma, on the Arizona border, to- night.
 YUMA, Nov. 15-The special train bearing the Liberty Bell reached Yuma at $40 o'clock tonight and was viewed by approximately three thous- and residents during it's minute stop. The relic then continued on it's eastward trip through Arizona.
 The Liberty Bell special was to make it's next stop at o'clock to- morrow morning. Tucson, Wilcox Bowie and San Simon also were to be given a few minutes time to pay homage to the bell before it crossed the New Mexico border tomorrow.
 Bell at Maricopa
 The special which was carrying the old timer was cheduled to arrive at Maricopa at 2:0O o'clock this morning, but several hours before that time the dispatcher on the Southern Pa cific notified those who were wait ing that the train was running about two hours behind time. Consequent l. ly the residents of MaricOpa had to wait until nearly four o'clock to catch a peep of the historic relic while it was being whirled eastward toward the New Mexico state llne-

Another Flare. BACK in ths NAVY.

Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske has resigned
as aide to the secretary OF the navy, apparently
because he is not in full accord with Mr.. Daniels
policy. The points OF difference are not made
public, although much speculative gossip has
been engendered by this latest bareback.
Rumor has It that matters connected with the
service administration of the department are at
the bottom. and Admiral Fiske is credited with
having said he did not wish to be in any way
chargeable with the country's unpreparedness
for war II this is true. It would seem that the
admiral might have chosen more appropriate
means for expressing his disapprobation of the
plans he objected to, and could have been OF
more service to HIS country by sticking where he
was than by resgning a billet Of so great im-
portance.
Secretary Daniels experience with the navy
illustrates the difficulty OF preaching peace to
men whose business II is to be ready to fight at
any minute. But something broader and deeper
than this Is involved in the present incident The
obligation OF the military and naval service OF
the United States requires loyalty from officers
of all grades to the president and his secretaries,
and even in protest an officer of high rank
should not overlook this.
The present situation emphasizes more than
ever the need Of a general staff. or war board,
for the navy, similar to that provided for the
army several years ago. and which has been
partly provided for by recent legislation. This
will permit the purely technical business Of the
navy, with its planning of strategy and the like.
to be handled by naval officers. and viii DO

Cost Of Rriase RuiIalns.

: NORTH LOUP. Neb., April ito the
Editor of The Bee; The people OF Ne
braska and the adjoining states have
begun seeing that the expense of bridge
building Is one of the sources by which
the country is drained of its ready cash.
How many times has your banker re-
marked that the automobile has been
the cause of making the community hard
up? The bridge expense Is much worse.
The fact Is now being widely discussed
that bridge companies have cut the price
of steel bridges 80 per cent 1t is fact
universally admitted that Nebraska has
been paying twice as much for bridges
as they are worth. The fact is, Nebraska
has been paying four times what those
bridges are worth. Bridge companies
have been trying also to break down
certain patent rights covering bridge
construction. Those patent rights formed
basis OF real competition against the
bridge trust, To array public opinion
against the patent rights, the bridge
trust advanced the argument against
patent monopoly. They got few farm
ers to fight their cause for them.
The State Board Of Irrigation is the
source of all the ovorcharge and weak
management in bridge construction in
this state. Why should Nebraska pay
more per ton for steel than a railway
company or any other firm? The present
cost Of steel from the bridge companies is
SO cents, or so per ton. The cost of
making steel is $3.50 per ton. The steel
mills sell it for sz5 to ss5 per ton. When
the fact is considered that bridge con-
struction Is very simple. to add $s5 per
ton for that construction Is out of rea-
SON. A dozen designs for bridges will
supply plans and specifications for 90
per cent of the bridges OF the state. and
there are half dozen firms in Nebraska
which would make those bridges in large
quantities for $40 per ton. If an efficient
department were TO go at this matter in
business like way. our bridges should
be bought for 10 per cent above the cost
Of raw material. The State Board of
Irrigation has lost this state millions OF
dollars through ineffieiehcy. Too many
incompetent policy men is the answer.

Omaha and the State.

That better understanding OF the relations
between the state and its principal city has come
about is emphasized by the brief visit Of the leg
islators to Omaha. The informal dinner was
marked by a spirit that fairly typlfies the sen
tment that has developed in Nebraska during
recent years. and which means that a community
of citizenship has finally been established. All
are citizens Of one commonwealth, with similar
interests and similar aspirations and all share
alike in the prosperity that must come with COM
mon effort. Cooperation is essential for one por-
ton of the state cannot thrive at the expense OF
another. For that matter sectional feeling is fast
disappearing in Nebraska and the greatness OF
the state is becoming the pride Of all. There is
room for ALL and prosperity for ALL when a
common effort is made for mutual good by all
Nebraskans.
