NEW YORK. June 25.-Enemy
Germans in the United States have
possession of post of observation
which the head of the imperial spy sys-
tenn himself could not personally have
selected to better advantage. says the
Tribune. They came into inyoluntarily,
but that does not alter the fact
The post is Ellis Island, where the
sailors removed from German ships,
together with number of German
spies arrested in the New York dis
trict have been interned since the be-
ginning of the war. They are in Il
position to observe the movements of
warships, transports and merchant
vessels arriving at and departing from
New York harbor.
Treated With Consideration.
The German enemies, altho in
termed. are treated with the utmost
consideration. Any letters which they
themselves write are inspected, but
that Is a wholly rutile censorship
They are free to receive and converse
with friends from outside; and the
friends who continually come and go
are mostly those uninterned enemy
aliens of whom there are one hum
dred-odd in New York. These unin-
termed enemy aliens have unrestricted
access to uncensored foreign mails
and cables.
There is absoluteiy nothing to pre-
vent the German prisoners on Ellis
Island from communicating to their
visitors valuable information touching
the movements of troop ships, war
vessels and merchant carriers, and
then nothing to prevent the enemy
aliens to whom such information is
impaired from addressing it to Ger
many either by letter or cable. There
is no American censorship over for
eign mail, some of which goes direct
to neutral countries without passing
thru British hands. Nor is there any
American censorship over cable mes
sages.

Come on Out to Nebraska!

In an interesting discussion in the Outlook
about gasoline power in agriculture, Theodore H
Price, one OF the recognized high authorities in
the east on business and finance, notes the prog
ress being made in developing the farm tractor
but evidences an appalling ignorance OF what has
been accomplished when he says:
Because such efforts are designed to meet
our supremest national need during the war
they deserve all the encouragement and public
ity that can be given them. | wish that some
arrangement could be made for permanent and
competitive exhibition Of all the tractors now
offered for sale, so that farmers and others who
are interested in the subject could make their
own comparisons and selections. Failing such
an opportunity to apprase their relative merit,
my own interest in the subject leads me to say
that ! shall be glad Of an opportunity to inspect
any improved tractors that have recently been
put upon the market. Provided my other en-
gagements permit and they are not too far from
New York. / will, at my own expense, go to
see them at work, and, il they commend them
selves to my judgment | shall so state pub
licly.
Without dwelling on the fact that these tractor
demonstrations have been regularly held for the
last several years, Mr.. Price should be advised
that the next big national farm tractor test is to
be held in Fremont the first week in August next
and he is cordially invited to come out and see
for himself. Aside from gaining any informa
tion he desires as to the relative efficiency of al
the standard tractors on the market, such trif
would also give him view of agricultural con
dtions in the most fertile section Of our LAND
and chance to estimate the food production pos
sibilities of the country which he can never gel
by sticking close to New York.

What a Bonehead Play!

In sending telegram to Samuel Gompers to
urge Secretary Of Labor Wilson to protest to
Secretary OF War Baker against considering
Omahas claims for the army cantonment, the
local labor strike strategists are making What
must be called "a bonehead play" They are
short-sghted, indeed, if they imagine they can
by such tactics win public sympathy for their
demands upon their employers or strengthen their
position with wage-workers who are regularly
employed in the community.
What surprises US most is that the building
trades strikers should put obstacles in the way
Of Omaha for the benefit OF Des Mones where
they know labor conditions from the union stand
point are no better, if not worse, and when they
ought to know the increased demand for mechan-
les which the location of the cantonment here
would bring would necessarily provide work for
all union men who are here and several thousand
more from the outside 1t is surely pity that
the rank and file of these unions should have to
share the blame Of such foolish leadership.

Nebraska's Contribution in Men.

Energetic efforts now being made to recruit a
third regiment Of the National Guard in Nebraska
bid fair to succeed. At the same time deter
mined drive to secure enlistments in the regular
army is in progress, with indications that the
requisiton will be met Marine corps and navy
recruiting has Jared we'll here, some thousands Of
young men having gone out from the Omaha
district into these branches Of the service. All
this tends to prove that Nebraska has contributed
of men fairly as could have been expected. Indus
trially and socially Nsbraskssis in position that
differs materially from that of older states. For
example, in normal times we have few unemployed
in the state, and during the growing season prac-
tically none. Every man who has gone into the
service has left vacancy in one or the other Of
the great industries that must be filled by another,
and some Of them miss the boys who have gone
out to fight. This has had deterrent effect on
enlistment, while the uncertainty Of the time when
the call for real service will be made has infu-
enced others to defer answering the call to the
colors as long as possible. But Nebraska has so
far met every demand and in the end will be
found with full list Of its sons in the ranks Of
the fighting men.

Sport a Needed Tonic

Sport is an industry even war cannot kill. As
many men play golf or nearly so as played three
years ago. Our tennis courts are packed with
championship performances Even college ath-
letes, depleted though their ranks may be, go
ahead with their accustomed contests. And pro-
fessiona base ball has attracted this year as many
as $4,000 persons to one game. 1t is possible that
when the new army is selected some Of the star
actors on the diamond may be forced to change
their club uniforms for the khaki Of Uncle Sam.
That would produce rather startling element in
the worlds championship race. Some Of the very
best players. indeed big majority of the best
ones, are still under 81 years Of age although here
and there "Honus" Wagner or Larry" Lajoie
is venerable enough to escape even call to the
veteran corps.
Is it right to continue all these sporting events
during world-war calamityi Many urge that il
is not, yet it must be obvious that the nearer any
country can retain its normal condition in all ordi
nary affairs the better can II meet those abnormal
and extraordinary calls which our people must
now face. Officers at the front do not wish their
soldiers to think OF battle until they 90 into it

Omaha in the Federal Reserve System.

The statement Of Secretary McAdoo of the
Treasury department that Omaha is to have a
branch Of the Federal Reserve bank shows that
the financial importance Of the city finally is rec
ognized in Washington Omaha is the center Of
business community far more extensive than its
own residents fully realize. 1t is the natural
market town for wonderful agricultural empire
and the gateway to region Of such unlimited and
diversified resources as must for years continue
to add an ever increasing share to the sum Of ma
tiona wealth. 1t is in the direct line Of the rapidly
growing trade Of this section OF the country. the
normal course Of which had to be detoured in
order to reach Kansas City. The mistake Of
hitehng all the great interests in Omaha's natural
territory to the bank down the river is now ad-
mitted and will be corrected as far as possible,
and the solidity Of the local banking houses, never
in question, will now be enhanced by the pres
enee of the new and needed institution.

Shrinkage IN German Moneg

The value of German currency, as measured
in the present bid of neutral markets for drafts on
Berlin, payable there in German paper, stands by
Compared with the similar measurement Of other
currences, Germanys paper is now worse depreci-
ated than that of any other important nation; with
the two exceptions of Austria, whose financial
condition is known to be nearly ruinous, and
whose currency rules at discount Of 90 per cent,
or more on neutral markets, and Russia, whose
political and economic dsorganization has brought
the ruble down to discount of s53s per cent In
all these countries political considerations have
undoubtedly had hand in the depreciation of the
currencies; but paper imitation must have been the
main influence Imitation is probably worst in
Russia, though Austria's refusal since the war
began to publish any figures has its own implica-
tions But the German Reichsbank's notes, not
now redeemable in gold, have risen to S20s60 900,
600, as against $l,6s9,000000 and $l,31l 100000,
respectively, one and two years ago, and 1894 000
