Omaha, May 3.-To the Editor of
The Bee: 1t does seem as though the
powers that be cannot bring them
selves to any conclusion regarding
this demurrage proposition, as they
are eternally agitating and aggravat-
ing the common shipper to that eX-
tent that there seems to be no par
ticular sympathy existing on either
side. But waving all predjudice and
giving the matter little common
sense reasoning l positively believe
that l voice the sentiment of so per
cent of the common shippers of these
roads who have been made to suffer
under this system and unite in brand
ing it gigantic fraud, conceived
only for purpose of grating with no
recourse on part of common shipper
to save himself. Usually q question of
this nature has two sides, but | have
been convinced lately that it is a one
sided affair. The writer has been
pleading for weeks and has lost con.
siderable business by his inability to
secure cars to furnish same. To my
personal knowledge l know where
there was nearly 200 cars on side
track for three weeks and moved
scarcely fifty feet in that time. No at
tempt was made to move them or un-
load them. Now if this demurrage
system is such wonderful scheme to
make the small fry unload, why
should not the railroads be COM
PEELED to take some of their own
medicine. II should work both ways.
If the roads were compelled to pay
demurrage on time actually frittered
away on side-tracks outside of sched-
ule time, it would bankrupt them,
and I cannot see any difference in
holding on side-track, making no eff
fort to unload than switching in a
yard to a mans place Of business,
and compelling him to jump to their
music. Let US be reasonable. Give
the small man show.

How to Beat the U-Boat.

Omaha, May 3.-To the Editor of
The Bee: Why sit down and howl
pitifully about the U-boats? Why not
do something? The one idea that
seems to obsess us is to build vessels
fast enough to replace the destroyed
shipping. Surely most woeful con-
fession of inefticiency, of childish sim
plicity. Why is so little done in real
defense against the "peril?"
Our land warriors-for we are now
the allies-have found it expedient
to resort to ancient armor to pro-
tect themselves from the ultramod-
ern weapons of this war, but for
some utterly inexplicable reason our
naval experts have not deemed it
wise or eXpedient or seemly to re-
sort likewise to very ancient marine
device of defense, the only one that
really can be OF any use against the
U-boat and that will insure the mini
mum of maritime losses.
Why let one poor. forlorn ship after
another go out alone to possible, nay,
probable doom? For every sailing.
every course is known TO the directors
of the U-boat activities.
The flotilla, the armada, the con
voyed" fleet of old is the one only
real protection for our or any other
sea trade these perilous times,
Don't let vessels go singly, how
ever we'll armed; make them wait
until ten or a dozen are ready. or
have regular sailing dates when a
powerful convoy, couple of war
ships and lot of scouts and speedy
craft can escort them across. With
so many eyes awatch, so many guns
ready, the U-boat that will show its
periscope in the vicinity of such a
fleet is indeed valorous craft. At
worse one boat might be picked off.
Certainly no such havoc as is being
wreaked today would be. possible.
The slight delay in sailing is a neg
ligible objection.
Storms may scatter such flotilla,
That's one of the possibilities that
confront those who go down into the
sea, but we have a long season ahead
of the years best sailing weather, so
that now's the time to do the ship
ping and to do it inteligently and
not just sit down and lament anent
the "U-boat peril" +. w. +.
