A thousand warning social schemes,
thousand new moralties,
And twenty thousand dreams.
Each on his own anarchiac way,
From the old order breaking free
Our ruined world desires, you say,
License, once more. not Liberty.
But ah. beneath the struggling foam.
When storm and change are on the deem
How quietly the tides come home,
And how the depths OF sea-shine sleep;
And we who march toward a goal,
Destroying only to fulfill
The law. the law of that great soul
Which moves beneath your alien will;
We, that like foemen meet the past
Because we bring the future. know
we only fight TO achieve at last
A great reunion with our foe;
Reunion in the truths that stand
When all our wars are rolled away:
Reunion of the heart and hand
And OF the prayers wherewith we pray;
Reunion in the common needs.
The common strtvings OF mankind;
Reunion OF our warning creedR
In the one God that dwells behind, .

Going Of Rev. Adolph Hult.

With the departure OF Rev. Adolph HUT
from an Omaha pulpit to take professors chair
in the college at Rock Island. to which he has
been called we bid adieu to man who has been
OF real service TO the community. Quiet. with
out ostentAtion. conservative and sensible with
a remarkable faculty for saying the right thing
at the right time, DIR. Hult has had unob-
trusive but nevertheless powerful influence on
the affairs OF Omaha. Scholarly modest but
courageous. he voiced his opinions in a way that
commanded attention. while his criticism. prof
fered on proper occasion. was keen but kindly
lie was well known to the readers OF The Bee
through his contributions TO its columns. the
most extensive OF which were his Impressions
OF a First Tripper," a series Of timely articles
on Europe. showing his faculty for close obser-
walton and his spirit OF kindly critical comment.
DR.. HUT will be missed from community in
which he has been genuinely useful.

The Lamar Vacancy on the Bench.

The death of Justice Joseph r. Lamar of
the United States supreme court reminds us of
the circumstances under which he was called
to his exalted position by President Taft. JUS
tice Lamar was q native of Georgia and
member of a distinguished southern family. His
cousin. Lucius ouintus Curtis Lamar of Mis-
sissppi, was a member Of Grover Cleveland's
first cabinet and was elevated to the supreme
bench by that president. The activities Of the
Lamar family in the way Of politics had been
distinctivcly democratic, but that did not deter
President Taft from selecting Judge Lamar for
the supreme bench. although 1t already had a
precedent in the case OF Justice Lurton. What is
O. interest at this moment is whether President
Wilson will emulate his predecessor In making
his choice for the vacancy with the same broad
vision.

Why Army Costs So Much
nr l1aior a.n.rnl Hura 2. soott.

The chief Of staff OF the United States army
Major General Hugh l. Scott. has written the fol-
lowing letter to a citizen Of New Yo.k, Joseph l.
Delafield, under date of December T. explaining the
high cost OF the military establishment as compared
with the establishments OF European countries;
Sir: Replying to your letter dated November r.
1915, wherein you request TO be furnished whatever
printed matter there may be showing how the present
appropriations for national defense have been APP
piled and why II that other nations have been able
20 do much smaller appropriations, am
directed by the secretary Of TO inform thst
there Is printed matter OF official character
which discusses appropriation from the point OF
view you mention.
From time TO time statements have appeared in
current publications showing the large appropriation
necessary for the support OF the military establish
ment Of the United States and the relative small cost
OF the German army. BY dividing each Of these
by the total strength OF each military estab
lshment an effort IL made TO compare the high cost
OF one of soldiers with the cost OF German
soldier which Is very much lower than No In
telligent comparison can be made between the cost
Of the German and American military establishments
without having first clear understanding OF the
differences in the military systems OF these two
countries.

Condition OF this nature susceptible Of cor

tary military system. will continue to pay
excessive amount for national preparedness TAX
ing into consideration the handicaps under which the
government has 10 work In maintaining our army
under the present system II will be found that It is
administered as economically that OF Germany or
any other country.
I hope the above may. in part, at least, answer
your questions. There is really nothing print on
this subject which is at all authentic stated above
a number OF comparisons of the cost of our army
and foreign armies have been made at different times
but the bases OF comparison more faulty
than the data used. and sound conclusions cannot be
drawn from any such discussions.
Omaha daily bee., 1916-01-04

In addition. there many other factors which
enter into the necessarily high cost OF army
under present conditions only limited number OF
which be mentioned here. One of the many items
OF expense in this country is that OF transportation
both OF men and supplies In this country the
eminent must pay in cash at the commercial rate for
all transportation. while in Germany the railways are
state owned. Everything which buy in this
try for the maintenance OF the army is higher than
corresponding articles In Germany, and after pur-
chase must be transported over vastly greater
distances
The above only few OF the items which make
army more costly than that OF Germany All OF
them are due to the system employ to maintain
our military forces There are, OF course, number
OF items which render the cost OF army unduly
high. which really imposed the country
result Of political considerations One of these is the
maintenance of the large number of park-lke army
posts scattered all over vast country Another -
the proviso OF law. which compels to shift indi-
viduals OF garrisons in two years.
Another is the detached service law which makes It
necessary shift officers all the country at
frequent intervals.

The German pays his military obligations to The
state in personal service while go into the labor
market where forced to compete with other
employers OF labor in order to soldiers.
In addition. there Is a small class OF volunteers In
the German army who In exchange for certain privi
leEes to service. maintain themselves and supply
their uniforms and equipment. Again the nor
NAL wages in our labor market, where obtain our
recruits are much higher than In Germany. The
comparative cost OF these two soldiers in dollars and
cents. therefore little except to emphasize the
cost TO government and indirectly TO the citizen
OF maintaining military establishment the volun-
tary principle II wish, then to compare the cost
OF army with the cost OF those OF other nations
must limit comparison TO those nations which
employ the same general system ourselves. We
will find that only other nation in the world
does so-Great Britain.
In sixteen trades and calngs, data for which
obtanable in both the United States and Great
Britain for 1912. find that the average wage was
15s per cent higher in this country than in Great
Britain. But the difficulty does end here for the
price pay to induce soldiers TO enlist and to
maintain them thereafter is affected by the standard
Of luxury and the cost living in the countries
under consideration. Again taking British figures
(which we'll known to be higher than the Ger
man. find that the cost of the food consumed by
the workingnan in this country Sc per
higher than in Great Britain the cost OF fuel
per cent higher, and the cost OF rent 81 cent
