GLoRY's PATH.

Washington Post: 1t was said of
Gen. Wolfe that Just before the bat
tie in which he lost his life he told
his friends that he would far rath-
er have beenl the author of Grays
"Elegy" than to take Quebec on the
morrow. 1iah
There may be something in this
recognition on the part of military
leaders of the comparative rank their
formidable art takes by the side of
literature that bodies good for the flu
Fture. That 'the path OF glory leads
but to the grave" has been a truth
which, until recently, however, ac-
|centuated the destinations of that
same pathway rather than checked
the desire to travel it. Nor has the
pursuit lost it's zest, if articles from
keen students at the front have
sketched rightly the psychology of
the battlefield. These tell of officers
and men sent back wounded, of the
immense relief experienced by them
during the earlier period of their in
validism, and then of the fierce de-
sire to return once more to the grim

NOTICE TO HoMEsTEADERs.

Recently brief /, announcement
was published Of an opening OF pub
lie lands ON the North Platte irri-
CATION project, Nebraska, to be held
at Alliance, Nebraska, on March "a,
Through an error in checking up the
area available to entry, it was stat
ed that IA, Oo0 acres of public land
would be subject to entry on that
date. While it is true water will be
available for that amount of land
the fact is that only 1000 acres
will be subject to filing, the balance
having been taken UP several years
ago, although not yet patented.
Many thousands of inquiries have
been received from homeseekers in
dicating a very widespread interest
in the opening and presaging a rush
of settlers In order that everyone
interested may be informed OF the
facts the following statement is is
sued by the Reclamation Services:
Only 81 irrigated farms will be
subject to entry and some OF these
are of inferior character. AS these
farms are to be allotted by lottery, a
large crowd will lessen the chance
of each applicant. Each entryman
must deposit with his application APP
$500 per acre besides
the customary filing fees and COM
missions. Unsuccessful applicants
will have their deposits returned al
ter the drawing has been held.
with limited capital
should be advised that these farms
carry mortgage to the government
of Slipper acre, payable in 20 years
interest.

Forty-second street during single
engagement. After the first battle,
if the 5000 bore the ,brunt of the
fighting, about 20 per cent would
probably be killed, wounded or cap
tured and would have to be replac-
ed by fresh troops. If there was any
delay in jumping reinforcements to
the, front and if the enemy deliver
ed a counter attack there would be
nothing for it but a nasty defeat, and
possible determination of the re-
mainder of the 5000. With 5000
men on the offensive the lessons of
the European war indicate less than
3, 900 of the enemy could successful
ly check them. An offensive force
has to be three times as strong as
the defenders of the transatlantic
entertainments, If there is to be any
hope Of success. This applies to
straight fighting on comparatively
level battle areas. ~ -

j, scenes Of war;.

How much of this same spirit will
grip our own people, should they be
thrust headlong into the maelstrom,
it may be premature to dwell upon.
There is little reason, however, to
suppose that they are exempt from
the universal thrills and emotions
of the flesh, or that the immense
gamble will appeal less sensibly to
them than to Others.
Nevertheless, the actual glories Of
war, the high lights that. once play
ed over the bloody fields, have large
ly disappeared. Down at its actual
basis war has become "a business of
the most monotonous and sordid
character. The year and O half of
lighting in Europe has demonstrat-
led this truth beyond chance of con-
tradiction. All the more reason that
the nations energies should be con-
Icentrated, its forces organized, itss
every available element of defenses
and offense brought to the highest
state of perfection, ready for press
ing emergencies or for possible
far off contingencies. If the glory of
the path has been dimmed, these
measures of preparedness will at
least result in fewer graves at the
end. a.

United States has any occasion to get
excited over it. 1t is true that the
Silius was a neutral merchant ship
and was entitled to immunity from
attack under assurances given by
Berlin to Washington. If Americans
had been killed, Washington would
have occasion to demand reparation
and perhaps an apology for the mis-
take of the submarine commander in
attacking a neutral ship. The pre-
sumption is that Germany would be
glad to express regret and offer in
demnity, as she has done on previous
occasions. As neither American life
not. property was lost, the grievance
lis one which should apparently be
taken up with Berlin by the Nor
wegian government
So far as the main fact of attack
without warning is concerned-if it
shall prove to be such an instance
the German government has never
given assurance of immunity for
anything but liners-ships which
make business of carrying passen-
gers as we'll as freight. Ordinary
freight carriers have been t9rpedoed
without warning since the opening
of the blockade without protest from
the United States. 1t is doubtful now
whether the presence of Americans
in the crew Of an enemy ship that
could not be called liner would
make legitimate grievance at this
stage of the controversy.

A NATION OF CHEMISTS.

In the April American Magazine
Oscar w. Underwood, author of the
present tariff law, says that Ger
many's supremacy in making dye
stuffs is because that country is a
nation of chemists.
''The reason for Germany's SUI
premacy in the dye stuff industry Is
not tariff reason, or labor reason,
in the ordinary sense" he says, "but
is due to their system of education.
They have a greater proportion OF
young men educated i'm the line OF
than we have, and chem
lists are one of the chief require
ments of the dye stuff business. Ger
many has a surplus of chemists, so
far as the high-salaried positions
are concerned, and you can hire any
grade of chemist cheaper there than
here. This condition could not be
changed by any tariff provision. In
order to keep out all foreign compe-
Lition in that line it would be nee
assary to have the rate so high as to
work needless hardship on many of

LAST OF THE FREE LAND.

Lincoln Journal: No small amount
of fuss Is being made over the ap.
preaching government rattle of for
ty-three small farms in the North
Platte irrigation district. This in
wolves 1900 acres of land. To such
Tiny transactions has the govern
ment descended from the days when
an empire of the area of California
was given to American railroads by
the government. Or the days when
an area a half larger than the state
of Nebraska could be set aside at a
stroke for the support of education
the beginning of the school lands. "
Nearly thirty years ago the land
hunger OF the American people had
the. whole territory OF Oklahoma
with which to satisfy itself at a
gulp. The great land hunger which
manifested itself in the land seekers
movement of the first decade of the
present century had large areas in
the northwest to sample. Even at
that time the home supply Of land
ran SO short that thousands expa-
triated themselves for the sake of
wheat lands in regions SO far north
that summer hardly comes ere win
ter SHOWS begin.
Another land movement is now
due. 1t would have been in full
swing by now, doubtless, but for a
war to set back the clock. On what
is the coming wave of land hunters
to spend itself?
Free or cheap land has been the
American safety valve. A popula-
ton straining for self betterment
has had it's own remedy-to go west
and grow nip with the country. With
the government reduced to adyertis-
ing an opening Of forty-three farms,
the safety valve may be considered
forever closed. The expansive en-
ergy formerly exerted outward must
hereafter work itself out intensive
Iy. Increasing land speculation,
with rapidly rising prices of land
and proportionately increasing dis
among the landless
would seem inevitable. The tone
of our politics and the intensity of
our social problems cannot but be

STATUS OF THE SIL1US.

Sioux City Journal: The Paris
Temps comments that the sinking 81
the Silius cannot fail to reopen the
entire conflict between the United
States and Germany" This is not Sc
plainly perceptible at this distance.
The Silius was Norwegian bark
engaged in transporting grain from
New York to Havre. A number OF
Americans were aboard her, not as
passengers, but as grain handlers.
The Silius was blown up in the night
off the coast of France. The FIRST re-
port was that she was blown up by q
torpedo from a submarine, and that
the missile was launched without
warning. A later report was that
the vessel might have been destroyed
by a bomb from an aeroplane. An
other possibility is that the Silius
may have struck floating mine. I'm
less submarine was sighted there
probably will be no way of determ-
lining definitely that the damage was
not done by a mine. Though the
setting adrift of floating mines is
contrary to international law, there
has been no effort to hold any coun-
try to account for damage done by
them during the present war.
Assuming that the sinking OF the
Silius may fairly be attributed to a
German submarine, there still are
reasons to question whether the

THE NEW EPOCH.

Waterloo Courier: In remark
able interview given out at Trinidad
in the West Indies, Colonel Roose-
welt declares that he is not candi-
date for the presidential nomination
and adds this significant statement:
Indeed, will go further and say
that it would be a mistake to nOmi-
nate me unless the country has in
its mood something of the heroic,
unless it feels like deyoting itself
not only to ideals, but to the pur-
pose measurably to realize those
ideals in America.
This is one of those rare times
which come only at long intervals in
a nations history when the action
determines the life of the genera
lions that follow. Such times were
those from 1776 to 1885,, in the days
|of Washington, and from. 1858, to
1856, in the days of Lincoln"
Any thoughtful person at all con-
>
versant with the present status of
international affairs will at once
recognize the truth Of Mr.. Roose-
velts words. The nation is upon the
threshold of new epoch in it's his
tory. in a world torn by war and in
the face of universal readjustment<
this country must assume and main
tain its place in the galaxy Of ma
lions. No longer able to depend up
on it's splendid ISOLATION it must
lift voice in settling the affairs OF
the world. Not only that but it must
be in a position to make its words
effective. 1t must have hack of them
material strength worthy the po-
sition it holds ASIA world power. It
must make itself a strong military
and naval power. But back Of this
must he people awake. to the great
occasion and aflame with the nation
al spirit. Likewise the country must
have a great leader--the Washing
ton or Lincoln of the present epoch.
| It must find that leader within the
next few months. Will it be Theo-
dore Roosevelt, or is there another
lbig enough for the momentous task? ?

proclamations urging the public to
cooperate with the different state
committees of the commission to OBJ
tain clothing and shoes for the three
million destitute in Belgium and
Northern France. The concerted ac-
ton is the result of the many recent
cabled reports forecasting the star
walton of millions of non-eombatants
|if the commissions work should be
interrupted.
The officials in their appeal call
attention to the dire need OF clothing
existing among the women and chill
dren and set aside different days, to
be known as BUY Yard of Cloth
days in order that the merchants
and public may concentrate on sales
of cloth and shoes for those wholly
dependent on the commission.
Among the governors who have is
sued proclamations are Charles w.
Gates, Vermont; R. L. Williams, Ok
lahoma; F.. M. Byrne, South Dakota;
Frank B. Willis, Ohio; w. M. Ferris.
Michigan; J. E. Ferguson, Texas;
Herman w. Johnson, California; O.
C. Curtis, Maine; R. H. Spalding,
New Hampshire; David Walsh, Mas
sachusetts; John J. Morehead, Ne
braska; Locke Craig, North Caro-
lima: Arthur Capper, Kansas.
Although the public's response to
the commissions winter appeal for
100000 in cloth or money to pur-
chase cloth, was generous, the re-
suits fell far apart of the supply nee
essary to clothe the three million
destitute in the war stricken coun-
tries. The commission announces
that it has purchased and shipped
cloth from which, the commission
textile experts estimate, the Bel
gians will be able to fashion about
I777,S5O garments. This number it
| is stated is entirely inadequate to
| u
meet the needs.
The commission is continuing its
efforts to awaken the business men
and women Of the country to firm
err realization of their duties as
Americans to care for these limo
cent victims of the worlds tragedy
abroad. In Belgium and Northern
France thousands of women accus-
toned to the refinements of the we'll
to-do have now reached point
where they are without the decen-
lcies in linen.
The Camp Fire Girls, of America,
10000 strong, Saturday, March

ture for, propaganda purposes has
been sent from the girls New York

efforts the girls purpose to collect
or buy individual bundles of new

The company has authorized the 1s- suance of an additional $21,500 treas ury stock to be sold at par. This stock has already been subscribed and the funds will be used to drill four wells.
 The contract for two wells was let some time ago to J. s. Totley, who brought in the Wildcat No. in record time and who will spud in No. 2 soon. A derrick for No. in the same loca- ton, will be erected early this week.
 One of the two remaining wells will be located on the Bills farm, which consists of 600 acres. This property is owned by an estate controlled at Bolivar, Tenn, and it's structure is regarded with the best in the field
