AMERICAN TROOPS IN FRANCE.

The meager announcement from France that
the second contingent Of American troops had
safely been landed is confirmation to the public
mind OF movement all had felt was under way,
but none cared to discuss because Of the injunc-
ton OF silence.
The United States actually is engaged in the
war now its armed forces being present on the
field as we'll as on the waters, and all its tre-
mendous energies and unlimited resources are
devoted to the consummation OF the task it has
assumed No longer is there doubt as to our
across the Atlantic Old Glory in on the battle
field once again.
Our promise to the world is that liberty shall
not perish. That glorious ideal for which the
best and bravest of men have stood through all
the ages, which has found its highest develop
ment on our shores, will be maintained. Stricken
France, desolated Belgium, sorely strained Eng
land, devoted Italy and struggling Russia will
take heart now, for the greatest reservoir Of men
and material in all the world has been tapped
and from It comes food of relief that will not
be stnted or measured, but will flow without re-
serve until democracy is saved from threatened
destruction and the future is made secure.
Behind Black Jack" Pershing and his men
is nation, one hundred million strong, whose
prayers, hopes treasure and lives are pledged to
his mission, and he cannot fail.

The passing of Dynamite Johnny" OBrien
at the age of so terminates career crowded to
the full with exciting adventures He told all
about them in his memoirs published few years
ago, including the account OF the shipment OF
dynamite to Cuba, which gave him the name.
But the gist OF his career is based on the fact
that from early youth he succeeded at all times
in being strictly unneutral, There are other men
like that and all nations have been contributors.
American liberty was largely due to their predi-
lections in this respect. II was foolish for the
young Lafayette to leave young wife and child
to come to this country, but he came. The same
was true of Kosciusko, Pulaski and others. Ed
mund Burke was fairly unneutral during the revo-
luton. Carl Schurz managed to get on every
side OF the political fence in his day, but no one
questioned his sincerity and no one doubts where
he would be lined up now. The world has a way
of honoring these names.
The truth is that no man with real insides can
keep from taking sides. The kind that do take
sides are the true pachsts, so devoted to their
doctrine that they are willing to fight for it at
the drop of hat 1t may be said of Dynamite
Johnny" that he was paid for his work, So he
was, in measure. But he gave back more than
he received We, too, made money from Europe
in the early stages of the war. Before il Is over
we will give it all back willingly and much more
America is full Of Dynamite Johnnies" in EN-
bryo. Moreover, their number will be increased
from now on. No truer word has been said than
that by the president that this is the last great
war in which neutrality will be possible even
for moment. 1t may be that all Of the result:
desired will not be achieved. Nevertheless, ideal
ism will aim high to that end. The only low ain
will be At the enemy who stands in the way.

elected | think he would have looked
after the interest of the people and
would have tried to devise some means
to punish the spectators who have
been robbing us blind for the last two
years. Had Hughes been elected
president he would have had the back
bone to meet the trusts and combina-
tions and millionaire food spectators
with a firm and vigorous hand. He
also would have had the backbone to
have met the savage warfare of the
Germans with a vigor that would have
met the most enthusiastic approval of
the people of America.
/ am not a Roosevelt enthusiast,
as everyone knows who knows OF my
position in political matters, but were
he president today we would see the
most stupendous preparations of this
nation to combat the Germans in all
of their merciless. inhuman and dis
graceful warfare. Had Roosevelt
been allowed to raise the army that
he could have raised without any draft
and had he been allowed to take that
srmy to France, his army would have

Clemenceau, the great French states
man, said, the mere presence Of
Roosevelt and his army at or near the
front would have been Of incalcul-
able value to the allies, who are fight
ing to drive despotism from the world
for all time to come.
No, Mr.. Brilliant. I did not vote in
favor of the food spectators who are
robbing us. I voted for Hughes be-
cause l believed he would carry out
the same vigorous policies as have
always been carried out by republican
presidents when the republican party
has been in power. The day Of retri-
button is bound to come to the food
gamblers and the reckoning will be at
the hands Of the republican party. The
party that Mr.. Brilliant belongs to
will never furnish the relief from our
oppressors in our midst 1t will take
the vim and vigor Of the good old re-
publican party to cause them to meet
their just deserts.

Omaha, June 23.--To the Editor Of
The Bee; Replying to the short let-
ter OF Jesse T. Brilliant, I will say
that he is very badly mistaken when
he says that I voted for the present
conditions that exist in the country
today.
We have never had national ad-
ministration that has so utterly failed
to enforce the laws against trusts and
combinations. A blind man could see
what the United States officials fail
to see. The laws that exist against
trusts and combinations have not been
enforced, nor has any effort been made
by congress or any state legislature
to pass any law to punish the rich
manipulators who buy up food prod
ucts and store them away by the mil
lions Of dollars worth. The govern
ment officials cannot fail to see what
is being done by the food SPECTATORS
in forcing the high cost of living
higher and higher every day. But
they seem to be asleep as to the rights
of the general public.
One Of the reasons I voted for
Charles E. Hughes is because he
"busted up" the ice trust and other
huge trusts in New York City and the

Omaha, June 26.-To the Editor OF
The Bee: The sheep-killing dog has
been known to do so many smart, de-
ceptive things In connection with his
sheep killing that he cannot be classed
as an idiot, a crazy loon. or silly.
ignorant fool. On the contrary, the
old sheep killing dog is what might be
olassed In his line OF depreciation, an
expert. He has been known to be at
home at bedtime, and there the fret
thing In the morning, comes crawling
out from under the porch when his
master gets up at daylight, seemingly
all right after quiet nights rest.
But in the meantime he had been sew
eral miles away and engaged in ter
rible slaughter Of sheep. not always
by himself frequently with associates.
Dogs have been known to engage in
this bloody butchering slaughter Of
sheep and escape detection for long
time, owing to their skill in destroy
ing all evidence that might lead to
their detection. They have been
known to 60 to a stream of water fol-
lowing their murderous attacks on a
flock, wash themselves clean Of blood
stains, roll In the grass to dry off. go
home and when traced down on sus-
picion appear to have clear case of
alibi until some little feature Of evi-
dence such as finding a few fibers Of
wool between their teeth. or blood
stain on some part OF the hair that
had not been removed, settled the evi-
dence Of guilt.
There Is but one remedy, one cure,
one means Of protection for the sheep
owner; one spark Of hope in the prose-
cution Of this business; one assurance
to satisfy the investor. and that Is
legislation for the government Of the
dog in each state that engages in the
sheep and wool industry. The dog
cannot be left to be a trespasser at
his own will, he must submit to re-
straint the same as any other prop
erty, other live stock and his owner
must be held responsible for damage
that he may do to personal property.
The dog Is personal property, listed
and taxed under some system Of as
sessment, per head most likely
The wolf is a predatory animal and
must be dealt with accordingly,
hunted down and destroyed and some
system Of bounty or reward must be
provided from public funds to en-
courage this work. The dog tax
properly applied will afford the funds
to pay IS on the grown wolf and then
frequently leave nice balance for the
county school fund and public road
fund or other features of public need.

Snowman Barnum is no more, but his spirit
animates the war grabbers. Make money" said
Phneas, honestly II you can, but make money"
The same thought in different form is expressed
in the letter of coal mine president produced
at the trial Of indicted coal men in New York.
We have the world as place to put the coal"
he wrote, "and are in elegant position to get the
very topnotch price for the stuff we have" The
modern version Of Barnum's motto lacks much in
terseness, but there is nothing the matter with its
gripping reach.
