what Shall 1t Protat9"

Peace hath its disasters only less pronounced
than war Disasters in peace, particularly in
some ways, are growing so rapidly in number
that railway managers feel 1t to be necessary to
make greater announcement Of their extent
and to point out the obvious ways Of avoiding
them. One of the trunk lines entering ST. Louis
issues three-page admonition, the last para
graph in which reads: what shall it profit man
to plan and scrape and save money to buy an
automobile, and then relegate it to the scrap
pile, with his own life thrown in for good
measured"
The argument begins and ends with that oues-
ton But between the beginning and the ending
are packed number OF telling arguments for
llnpressng upon the minds OF all drivers of We

not needing warning signs at all railway cross
ings, and citations OF cases in which human life

OF people were killed within a few months, and
more seriously injured. The first OF the citations

Desperate Conflict Now in Progress.

One OF the most sanguinary battles in all his
tory is now going on, with the outcome hanging
in the balance. The meat packers have joined
with the common people against the forces Of
High Cost of Living, and for the first time two
hitherto supposedly antagonistic elements are
aligned together. The latest engagement is
waged at the stock yards, where the hog raisers
met the packers and were forced to recede
slightly from their advanced positions. This fierce
conflict has lasted for months, with the daily sac
rifce of thousands Of porcine lives, and the ad-
vantage has all been on the side Of the growers,
who have steadily advanced their lines day after
day A determined stand by the allies has tenn
porarily checked this movement and even has
forced back the front ranks Of the assaulters.
For two days at least the cause Of the common
people has gained slightly and the allies may yet
turn back the hitherto invincible army that has
marched so irresistiby onward. The progress Of
the struggle is being observed with intense con-
Germ by heads of families, who finally foot the
bills and to whom the SIS pig is a real menace.

saving that due warning had been
given, and the Lusitania should have
kept out of the dangerous area. 1t
seems to be just to infer from what
Mr.. Lewis says that he would be one
of those persons. He made no at
tempt at refutation on this point.
In reference to the mine fields Mr..
Lewis saws: mot single American
life has been sacrificed" II that is
the fact, then are we not justified IN
believing that by an understanding oil
some sort, approved by our govern
ment American vessels have been
kept out of the mine field, as If we
had full respect for the extension OF
British control over a large part OF
the high seas? Suppose it had been
submarines instead of mines. Would
there be any difference in principle!
Is a mine more merciful than war
ship? Mr.. Lewis says that the ad-
miralty order referred to was modl-
fed within a short time after it was
made. If that is the case, wish that
some one would publish exactly the
words of the alleged modification and
tell when it was issued. Mr.. Lewis has
not informed his readers definitely on
this point. Are those people unreal
sonable who ask why should our gov
eminent respect an English blockade,
and declare that it will force passage
through the German blockade? Let
us have as much light on this subject
as possible. 1t is very important.
There is need also of information
about the restriction of international
communication. Is it true that there
is free communication with all coun-
tries but Germany and its allies? Who
owns and controls the cable terminals
in this country and Mexico?

China Breaks With Germany.

The Chinese break with Germany has been
anticipated for some weeks, since the president
and cabinet OF the new republic took practically
the same position on the submarine question as
that assumed by the United States. Reports re-
eeived at Washington indicate that the steps so
far taken have been identical with those pursued
by our own government. The German ambassa-
dor has been handed his passports and the crews
have been removed from German ships in the
Chinese harbors. Thus far the Chinese have
acted with due elaboration. In common with
all neutral nations, they have opposed the unre-
stricted use of the submarine and the continued
sacrifice of Chinese lives has forced the govern
ment to break with Germany. Whether this will
lead to actual participation in hostilities depends,
just as with the United States, on Developments
OF the German campaign. The move is signih-
cant as showing how far the moral force of the
world is set against such practices as the unwarned
destruction Of vessels and the endangerinr of
lives Of noncombatants.

Readjusting Transcontinental Freight Rates.

The tentative order just made by the Inter
state Commerce commission, intended to adjust
coast-to-coast and intermountain freight rates.
may finally liberate business OF the west from
burden it has borne as result of the inequality
between local and transcontinental rates. This
time the federal rate-making body takes the view
that water competition is negligible and that
coast-to-coast rates must be modified accordingly.
In laying down broad zone plan, under which
the readustment is to be accomplished, the order
apparently introduces some elements Of confu-
sion, but the details ultimately may be ironed
out after agreement is reached and the order is
made definite
In every way it is desirable that this long exist
ing inequality in the path of business be removed.
Almost since the time the transcontinental rail
line was established the Pacific coast has enjoyed
special advantages on freight tariffs because Of
water competition, which has been more or less
hypothetical Some ten years ago the so-called
Spokane case, now usually referred to as the inter-
mountain rate, attracted great attention because
Of the patent injustice under which the interior
cities labored. The partial adjustment then
attained was again disturbed when the Panama
canal was opened and the railroads asked for relief
from anticipated conditions due to possibilities
of transportation by water. This relief was
granted, although the competition was more
apparent than real, and now the commission pro-
poses to 60 back to where it left off in the Spo-
kane case and generally equalize freight rates
over a scope that is almost countrywide.
1t will be we'll for business Of all kinds when
this matter is, definitely determined, so that rail-
roads and patrons alike will know what TO do

Why Not Citizens Training Camp Here,

Although the official announcement scheduling
the citizens training camps to be held under War
department supervision during the coming sum-
mer and autumn does not include the military post
at Omaha there Is no reason why an effort should
not be made at once to secure this recognition
for this year, If possible, and next year without
fail.
The training camp idea has had its greatest
exploitation through what was done at Platts-
burg, drawing for its recruits upon New York
and New England and surrounding states. The
Plattsburg camp is to be continued for four
periods this year and additional camps for three
periods at Fort Sheridan, near Chicago, two Pc
RODS at Fort Smelling, near Minneapolis and ST.
Paul, two periods at Fort Riley and also at one
point south and one point west yet to be an
nounced. At none of these places, however, ex-
cept those in the vicinity Of the big population
centers are conditions more favorable or the
equipment and facilities for conducting the camp
more available than they would be here at Fort
Crook, which is otherwise lying idle. An equally
important consideration which must have bear.
ing with the War department, is the msconcep-
ton, too common in these parts, as to what "pre-
paredness' really means. which experience with
the sort of training given at Plattsburg would
help to correct

What Should This Nation Do?

Resents a savidge Remark.

South Omaha, March 14.-To the
Editor of The Bee: In the news col
umns of the dailies Of Monday the
REV" Savidge is quoted as saying:
II want no nurses when l am sick.
Deliver me from the hospitals and the
dark crimes of the nurses and sur
geons."
The malignant immoderation Of
such a remark may be beneath any
reply from the medical profession,
whose character and services to hui
mainly is comprehended by intelli-
gent people everywhere.
OF the nursing profession: How
could anyone be low enough to make
the aspersion quoted? There is GER
tainly no more upright, pure and de-
voted group of women in existence.
In Mr.. Savidge's easy familiarity
with God" he evidently substitutes
his own thoughts for divine inspira-
ton.
The ministers of Omaha are high
minded men above such innuendoes
and no presumption that they could
share such thought is possible.
The undersigned feels that the news
papers which published Mr. Savidge's
libel, owe themselves an editorial in
the matter, unless in their zeal to as
sault Mr.. Kugel. they have no regards
for innocent bystanders.
