Presidents Pan.American Plan.

Mr. Wilson has submitted what on the sur
face looks like attractive outline basis
of for the All-American coalition we have been
assiduously promoting. II lacks, however, in
certain elements necessary to command support.
Certain qualities of workabillty are missing
from the presidents prospectus as will be dis
covered when even casually analysed. Not alone
does It contemplate the extension of the Monroe
doctrine beyond it's original scope and purpose,
but It involves the entire abandonment of the
policy OF Independent action that has existed
since we have had a government OF our own.
The question OF "entanglng alliances" is
brought directly to the front by this proposal to
make the United States a party to and respon-
sible for South American participation in the
arrangement; In fact to make ourselves their al
lies and guarantors.
Another questionable provision is that for
the prevention OF revolution. Who is to decide
which is the revolutionary side of the rumpus?
How are the people OF any South American
country to avail themselves of the right Mr..
Wilson cherishes dearly, OF altering or abol-
ishing their government Political revolutions
are not always unaccompanied by exhibitions of
force, and a brutal government, supported by a
standing army may easily perpetuate itself and
enslave the majority IL its opponents are denied
proper means for resistance. The abolition Of
war ia still beyond us, and the right OF revolu-
ton is still recognized and the president, him
self. is publicly pledged to a policy of allowing
our neighbors to work out their own problems
in their own way.
A better understanding and a closer relation
ship, political as we'll as commercial between
the American governments is desirable. but this
must not be expanded to include obligations
that cannot reasonably be fulfilled.

originating with The Bee and which was once
proposed in congress. though without success at

II the plan for an increased army is in

rivals, Omaha being the center OF system of
trunk lines that covers the entire country, as
well as the most important point on the trans
continental traffic route. The government al
ready has extensive and well equipped army
plant here. and not much would be needed IN
way OF addition to make IL the most compre-
hensive Of all army supply dspots. while its
safety from falling into enemy hands is guaran-
teed against anything short OF national extinc-
tion.
The project needs only the strong and united
support OF the citizens to insure Omaha seeur-

British Blundsrs in military camuaiOu,

Official reports, now slowly coming out, tell
terrible tale of blunders OF British army lead
ers. The valor of the men is well established,
but tremendous loss OF life has been entailed
by mistakes that might have been avoided with
more care. The Gallipoli campaign failed be-
cause the generals did not know what they we're
doing. The experience at Loos where a victory
was won. and lost again, and an army OF 1907
600 men destroyed because someone had blum
dered," is duplicate example. Heroism alone
does not win battles. Strategy and tactics must
be perfect, and movements must be exactly as
planned. The experiences of the British hold a
lesson for Americans. Our war will be de-
fensive but We must have officers and men in
readiness. trained and familiar with their du-
ties and with the science OF warfare. or we will

Those Penny School Lunches.

True to its nature, our aristocratic. pluto

a vicious protest against the experiment of the
kind-hearted women undertaking to establish
penny lunches OF hot soup and crackers for the
school children in certain districts. Not that
this worthy enterprise is costing the taxpayers
any money, nor that the child is under duress or
compulsion to buy the penny lunch. nor that the
lunch is not worth the penny. is the burden of
the complaint, but that 1t is invasion OF the
sacred function OF the home. That is certainly
a terrible indictment of these good women
that they are/working to destroy the usefulness
OF the home by furnishing hot lunches to school
children to make them more responsive and
efficient pupils School lunches may be too
progressive for the Bourbon democracy of the
World-Herald, but we venture the opinion that
they are not too progressive for the friends of
the public schools in Omaha. who want our
school system to continue to rank with tho best.

City Budget FINALLY .Pluggsd % Size. >

The city commissioners have accomplished
the anticipated feat of making the city budget
for the year exactly fit the maximum income.
This was achieved by scaling down estimates
that we're Durposely made too large. and which
their advocates did not expect to get. Our citi-
zens do not expect that the proper administra-
ton OF the city's business Is TO be hAmpered by
lack of money for all reasonable purposes. but
the proposed appropriations exceed by far the
combined cost of carrying on the government OF
the consolidated communities during their sepa-
rate existence. No sign Of the loudly promised
economy may be seen in this. Moreover. the
work of pareeling out the money was done in

PLANS FOR BIG
FARM EXHIBIT

A final meeting of arrangement
for the Solebury Farmers Exhibit
will be held this evening at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. William w.
Hurley, north of New Hope, and it
is expected that this mutual fair will
have the greatest year in its history.
One Of the special features will be
the Boys Stock Judging Contest,
under the care of N. E. CARRIER,
Bucks county farm agent, who will in
struct the ones who enter the COM
petition as to the methods employed
in awarding prizes to farm animals.
Boys between the ages of Is and 81
will be eligible, and it is thought it
will be most valuable lesson to
farm boys, and they will be put to
judging horses, cows and hogs, in
dependent of the regular officials Sc
cured for that purpose, of course. A
handsome set of encyclopedias, fresh
from great publishing house, will
be awarded to the one who makes
the most points in judging, so there
is likely to be keen rivalry.
A championship cup will be award
ed jointly with the Pennington fair
people to the exhibitor who wins the
most points at Pennington on We'd
nesday, August 9th, and the Sole
bury Deer Park on Saturday, Sep
TENDER 8, jointly. The trophy is a
handsome silver cup, and will be
awarded for the best farm team,
either sex, under 1900 lbs shown at
both places. Horses will count 70
points, wagon 20 harness 10.
There will be twenty-five classes
of horses in the enry list; nine classes
of cattle; fifteen classes of pigs and
sheep; eleven classes of poultry; four
classes of pet stock; sixteen classes
of grains and hay; twenty classes of
fruits; thirty-one classes of vege-
tables; nine classes of needlework;
eight classes of arts and crafts;
thirteen classes of preserving, pick
ling and canning; nine classes of
baking; thirteen classes of flowers
nine classes of athletics, and eight
automobile classes, besides several
special classes.
This is a most successful farmers
fair, conducted without profit, by
the Solebury Farmers club and the
Carversville Grange, and depending
entirely upon gate receipts for ex-
pense money, excepting a few small
concessions which net but mere
fraction of the cost of running the
affair.
