New York reports that there
were six Americans aboard the
Yarrowdale.
Reports from Brazil say the
German sea raider has with her
three small submarines of new
type, apparently employed in
scouting work for the mother
ship. A possible clue to the re-
cent whereabouts of the raider
comes in a Rio Janeiro report of a
strange craft recently sighted
steaming rapidly off the northern
Brazilian coast.
The British steamer Yarrow-
dale, which the German admiralty
last night brought in on Decem-
Der 81, the crews of eight of the
steamers taken by the raider,
numbering 4o9 persons, put into
the German Baltic sea port of
Swinemuende, according to later
German advices.

Washington. Jan. 20. - The Ger
man admiralty statement that neutral
subjects in the crews of vessels cap
tured by the German raider in the
South Atlantic have been removed
as prisoners of war; will raise a
complicated question if any Ameri-
cans are among them.
The whole question turns on
whether an armed merchantship is a
war vessel and the gulf between this
country and Germany on that ques-
tion is still unbridged. or course,
Americans on such ships could be
considered as prisoners of war only il
tie vessels were considered as war
vessels.
No indication has been received that
any OF the vessels sunk by the Ger
man raider were other than defen-
sively armed. The State Department
has held throughout that vessel can
not be classed as a warship unless it
is under naval orders and the naval
flag and manned by naval crews.
The German admiralty statement
made just at this time when the
armed ship issue between the two
countries is becoming more compli-
Gated was taken to foreshadow a more
pronounced attitude as to the question
on Germany's part.

Planning for the New Army.

Final passage of the new army bill has COM
PEELED the disclosure Of some of the plans laid
by the War department for operations under the
law. Greatest immediate importance will attach
to the announcement from Secretary Baker that
assembly of men under the selectve draft will
not be commenced until September. This date
is about as early as possible under the circum-
stances 1t allows only little over ninety days
for the accomplishment of the immense amount
of preparation that must be carried out. 1t is
encouraging, too, for it suggests that the expert
ence OF last summers mobilization OF the National
Guard is not going to be repeated, Men will not
be taken until the government is ready to pro-
vide for them The shortage of supplies now adj
mtted, is not alarming, for the public is aware
of the fact that for many months all our factory
output of war goods has gone to Europe. These
plants will now be speeded up on work for the
home forces, that clothing and bedding at least
may be ready when the recruits assemble.
Another outstanding feature Of the program
as laid down in Washington is that eighteen of
the thirty-two great camps will be located in the
south, twelve of them in the new Department of
the Southeast, which embraces the most reliably
democratic states we have This will permit car
rying through the winter on the outdoor work Of
training the soldiers and will also insure spend
ing considerable proportion of the appropria-
ton for their support where it will do the most
good for the party. This arrangement is for
tuitous rather than arbitrary.
1t may be assumed that the authorities will
now move with all due celebrity to prepare the
army and that the delay will not check the ardor
OF the nation, but the next three months will give
our people plenty Of time to consider how costly
our neglect is proving. Have we learned the
lesson experience has sought to teach us?

War Takes on a New Phase.

The presence in English and French waters
Of Yankee and Japanese warships, bent on taking
up part of the work carried on so far by the Brit
ish and French naves, gives ruddier tnge to the
fire Of war. 1t shows these nations are, allies in
fact as we'll as in name To the people who have
been so sorey tried in the dcluge OF destruction
these newcomers bring proof that the sacrifices
made by brave men and women in the combat
against autocratic oppression has not been in
vain To the war lords OF Prussia the message
must be that opposed to them is such union Of
forces as they could not have reckoned on in the
beginning and against which they will not make
Roadway. Moreover, it is reasonable to look for
more or real activity in the war at sea now, for
the dash and initiative Of American and Japan
csc sailors will not be wasted in mere watching
The men who have written the history of navies
for the last half century may be depended upon to
add some new chapters to its annals, A new phase
Of the conflict is now opening.

Omaha As An Army Mobilization Point.

Omaha ought by all means to be selected for
one Of the training camps from which the new
army OF conscripts is to be whipped into shape for
fighting service. The district to which Nebraska
is assigned includes also the two Dakotas, Mime
sofa and Iowa and with the officers reserve corps
assembled for drill at Fort Smelling just outside
OF St Paul and Minneapolis, it leaves only two i'm
portant army post centers for consideration,
namely, those at Omaha and at Des Mones and
il it narrows down to such choice, as seems like
ly, what Omaha has to offer should appeal con-
vincngly to the military authorities charged with
making the decision. This is not question OF
satisfying rival claims or recognition on the score
of relative patriotism, but OF best accommoda-
TONS easiest access and effective results.
The army chiefs need not be reminded that
Omaha has the equipment of two military posts
Fort Crook and Fort Omaha-ready to hand, a
quartermaster's supply warehouse and facilities
and also an army headquarters building and could
take care of the men with very little additional
barracks construction. They know that as the
converging point OF all the big railway systems of
the section, the men can be gotten in here and
out conveniently and quickly without overtaxing
the means of transportation. They know too, that
by virtue of the same situation they can here best
assemble the food and supplies and all other main
tcnancc necessities.
Every factor OF economy and efficiency in
mobilization points to Omaha as the logical place
for the training OF the soldiers.

Corn and the Cook
New York World

Right where "Tama Jim" Wilson, secretary Of
agriculture left it twenty years ago, the question
recurs of teaching the English to eat American
corn. 1t is matter timely both to the food crisis
in Britain and to the newly warmed and strength
ened relations between two great nations attached
to one mother tongue
For many years we of the New World have
furnished to our profit the roast beef Of old Eng
land. There will be more than a commercial hap
piness If we may extend into complete Anglo
American service the product of our corn fields.
Economy, good health and good cheer go with
the range of corn foods, from the pones Of Dixie
to the lnjun pudding of New England. Not for
getting the mush and milk which not infrequently
marks the end of perfect dietary day.
One thing, nevertheless, is vital to the issue.
That thing is the cook. Not invariably over here
does culinary efficiency meet fully the rich poten-
tialties Of the yellow grain. Still we do have
good corn cooks, and we know better than to mis-
Judge the meal, when a fault is presented from
the kitchen. If Britain is to be persuaded to take
to the corn, it must be through the able co-opera
tion of bue-ribbon American artist at the range.

Government in Great Britain and
Germany,

Magnet Neb., May 10.-To the
Editor of The Bee: Can your read
ers have couple of articles that will
adequately elucidate the difference be-
fore the war in the basis of represen-
tation in the United States, Germany
and. possibly England in the law max
ing and law enforcing departments?
EVAN A. CHAPMAN.
Ans.-Assuming you want to know the
qualifications for voters and the responsible
ties of government, we answer:
In the United States universal manhood
suffrage, and in many states women. at the
age of 81. Our readers are familiar with
the division between federal and state gov
ernments.
In Great Britain the qualifications for
voters are Male. 81 years old, freeholder
of annual value of 40 shillings, leaseholder
or copyholder of annual value of pounds,
householder or ledger of annual value Of 10
pounds: owner of property of this value in
different election districts may vote in each
district.
In Germany suffrage is universal for
males of the age of 25; soldiers in the &C.
tive army, and certain specified incompe-
tents excepted. In Prussia the age Is Is,
out the voting Is done lndlrectyi voters are
divided into three classes. according to taxes
paid, First group consists Of those who pay
one-third of the total taxes, second group
those who pay one-third, and third group
similarly formed. Each group chooses an
equal number of electors, who. in turn elect
the members of the house of representatives.
This puts control into the hands Of the
smaller number of wealthy.
Essential difference between the form Of
governments lies in the fact that the Brit
ish cabinet is responsible to the Parliament,
and not to the king. while the Prussian min
istry and the German imperial ministry are
responsible to the king and emperor and not
to the parliament. The king of Prussia un-
der the constitution is head of the German
confederation with title of emperor, and is
irresponsible. Powers of the Reichstag are
limited by the constitution, and the emperor
may refuse to promulgate any law passed IL
he deems it unconstitutional. otherwise he
has no veto power. His orders concerning
the army and navy must be signed by the
chancellor. leaving him irresponsible, but he
appoints his own chancellor, who is answer
able only to the emperor. Prussia elects
three-ffths of the popular membership Of the
Reichstag, and also controls in the council or
upper body of the assembly.

Ulster Views of Irish Question.

Omaha, May 1910 the Editor of
The Bee: In the evening issue Of The
Bee Of May II John Rush is re-
ported as saying that any red-blooded
lrishman resents as an insult the Of
fer of the English government to make
home rule for Ireland immediate,
leaving Ulster under English rule, and
calls such proposal preposterous. 1t
would be of interest to have Mr.. Rush
explain why such an offer as that of
the English government is not most
evidently fair and just. II Mr.. Rush
has better suggestion to make it is
of special interest now. Why does the
south Of Ireland wish to force an Of
fensive rule upon Ulster? If the Irish
nationalists are fair and just, and have
suffered as much under English rule
as their public utterances would lead
one to believe. will Mr.. Rush explain
why they desire to force an obnoxious
government upon Ulster, placing them
selves in the exact position which they
so bitterly condemn in the English
government? II may not be as gener-
ally known as it should be that the
north of Ireland was eolonized by the
Scotch and English at one time and
SO the present inhabitants doubtless
md it much easier to affiliate with and
llVe under the rule of those whose an
tecedents were similar to their own.
AS we know, al nation so called may
be mere geographical expression, not
one Of nationality, and hence not to
be treated as the homogeneous union
OF people. All unprejudiced infor-
nation points to a division in Ireland
an agricultural section as against
an urban and manufacturing one; diff
ferent ideals, as refer to the seditious
uprising which the south of Ireland
permitted the German nation to aid
them in not many months ago; the
fact that Ulster has furnished the most
OF the volunteers in this war, If the
news agencies to which we are in
debted for the knowledge of so many
current happenings can be cited as ev-
idence, and many other instances
showing a clear division. If the Irish
nationalists refuse this fair settlement
which has been a standing offer for
some time, they will lose the sympathy

Our Army Of Engineers


The sending of an army Of nine regiments Of
engineers and highly trained railway men to
France will be Of more practical value than the
transporting OF several times that number of
troops, inexperienced in the mode OF warfare now
being employed on the western front, and it
should have. equal psychological value. Modern
war makes heavy drafts on all the resources OF
science. For that matter, war has always utilized
science, even before Archimedes was called upon
to devise the military engines that postponed the
fall Of Syracuse There is scarcely physical
science that is not making contributions to the
conduct of the great war The present aspects
of the fighting especially call for civil engineers
and experts in transportation problems. Under
American supervision marves OF quick railway
building have already been accomplished. We
suspect that American ingenuity had part in
facilitating the renewal of the allied offensive
after Hindenburg began his strategical retreat.
Americans have been famous for such things. 1t
was during Shermans march that confederate
grumbngly obeyed orders to blow up tunnel.
good. Old Sherman carries a lot Of extra tunnels
with him and he'll have one down within an hour
after he arrives" II was during the same march
that private soldier in wel-worn uniform vol
unteered to repair locomotive the retreating
confederates had purposely crippled. "I helped to
make this engine" he explained.
Our army Of engineers will not need military
training. They will need some such organization
as that of the American circus. They are already
trained in the real work they must do. With I'm
limited labor and material they will be able to do
in hours what would normally require days or
weeks. It will be brief respite that retreatng

YORK, Neb., May 12.-To the Editor
OF The Bee: We have stringent law
defending our song birds and we have
another law protecting bird murder
ers. What are we going 10 do about
it?
The squirrel is the most remorse-
less enemy of birds. Every squirrel
is responsible for the death of fiftv
to one hundred birds. Our birds
know we love them. They refresh
us with their sweet songs Early in
the morning and in the evening they
search our gardens for cut worms and
other pests and we reward them with
ruthless and relentless warfare Squir-
rels often pounce on the mother bird
and devour her and then eat the eggs.
That is their business and they fol-
low it up relentlessly A squirrel
once came into my house, where a
couple of happy wrens built a nest
in my coat pockets, and devoured the
eggs What a funeral we had then!
My tears came at their pitiful wailing.
If any young robins should escape
they are ready to pounce on them.
A lady in York said beautiful bird
sat on limb near her window all un-
conscious OF danger and poured out
his sweet song. A sly and noiseless
squirrel bounced upon him and de-
voured him.
With all these facts before them
our senate preferred the whisk of
squirrels tail to the song and service
of our birds. A rule for making
senate seems to be to take strong
dose of double distilled idiocy, mix it
with about ten grains of downright
incompetence and make a law out of
it with IS penalty. Perhaps our
neX senate can give us law with
a IS fine for killing rats. There
might be some reason in that COM
pared with the other. The rat can't
begin to do the mischief the squirrel
can. c. S. HARRISON.
