Bene6ciaries of Bernstorff's Bank Roll.

, One task set very squarely before the Depart.
ment of Justice is to uncover the benehciares OF
the Bernstorff bank roll. Investigation by con-
gressional committee of the so-called Hehn
charges, which were not charges at all, but merely
insinuaton, will very likely result in disclosing
what Is generally believed, that none Of the con-
gressmen or senator's took any money from Ger.
many II they got any pay at all it was delv-
cred in another fornay But disclosures of the ac'
tivity here and elsewhere of the agents OF
the German propaganda make it imperative to
discover and expose those who took bribes from
the kaiser. A tremendous commotion has been
stirred in France through the arrest of Bolo
Pasha, for whom Count Won Bernstorf acted as
clearing agent in this country. Millions of dol
lars are known to have passed through branch
OF the Deutsche bank in New York, paid on
order of the German ambassador in this coun-
try, and the large sums sent to France do not
account for all that was expended. Much of it
remained in America.
Not all who sought to avoid war last year
or the year before are traitors, but some were
actuated by the meanest of motives, and plenty
OF reason exists to think that some accepted
bounty so literally dispensed by Bernstorf. A
man with the kaiser's money in his pocket can
not now be regarded as faithful citizen Of the
republic. The widespread and deeply penetrating
influence and dangerous effects Of the pro.German
intrigue are understood. although all its ramih-
cations have not been disclosed. II operated by

Ha;g's Great Victory.

The latest British drive in Flanders is hailed
as the greatest victory since Marne" and some
reporters enthusiastically hail it as the greatest
of the war Whatever its comparative extent in
relation to other engagements, it is of greatest
moment because OF its bearings on the task Cen
eral Haig set for his left wing months ago, that
of turning the right wing of the kaisers army.
His steady pursuit OF this objective with its great
dual purpose of driving the German line back
upon itself and breaking the navys hold on the
channel coast, is bringing its reward. The mag
nitude of the latest engagement, which is but a
detail of the general plan, is such as warrants
the use of superatves. A section OF German
first line defenses over nine miles long has been
carried to depth OF more than mile, thousands
of Prince Rupprecht's best men have been put
out of action and other thousands OF them have
been captured. Arms and stores have been taken
and positions which have been built with utmost
skill and care and improved until deemed i'm
pregnable have been taken. The advantage that
for three years has been Germany's in this sec
ton is crumbling and the enforced retirement Of
the invaders, who dug themselves in there in Oc-
tober, 1914, is coming nearer with each forward
surge of the British army. And this in turn
brings nearer a lasting peace.

The Price of Coal
minneapolis Ledger

On FIRST reading the regulations issued by DR..
Garfield, the federal fuel administrator, govern
ing the profits which retail dealers In anthracite
shall be permitted to take do not hold out a very
definite hope of relief for the consumer. They
cali for cost sheets from the dealers covering the
details OF their business in 1915 which is made the
basis of comparison and they permit an advance
of 80 per cent in the margin between the cost of
coal on the cars delivered at yard or siding and
the price charged consumers. This advance is
allowed as an offset to the increased costs of do
ing business and does not in itself seem unrea-
sonable. And there would appear to be an assur-
ance that the price to be charged consumers shall
not exceed the average for July 1917,
Insofar these regulations are designed to pro-
tect the public against further extortion but they
do not touch the vital questions involved i'll the
toll taken by the railroads for carrying the coal
from the mines nor the intimate relations which
undoubtedly exist between the larger operators
and the carriers, factors which, the public has
long been convinced, are potent in affecting the
cost of coal to the ultimate consumer. There is
also feeling OF dissatisfaction with respect to
the differential in mine prices allowed certain OF
the less favoraby situated operators. The sub
ject is so infinitely complicated that it is perhaps
unreasonable to look for solution under the
existing abnormal conditions. especially in view
of the disotganization in the btumnous coal
fields, but the public will not cease to hope that
somehow, some time the tangle will be unraveled
and they will be permitted to secure fuel at a
price with respect to the equity OF which they can
have confidence.

mense COW barn on the same Of his
own accord, went to Illinois and Wis
consin and picked out eighty head of
the finest Holstein cows he could find.
travelled over Nebraska and Kansas
in search of horses and purchased
eight head of the finest horses now In
the county, installed milking machines
bought all new farm machinery and
a new Ford and just as he got settled
down to making money off Of his in
vestment he was drafted. He imme-
diately advertised sale Of his entire
holdings, billed the same over q radius
Of zoo miles and on October held
one Of the biggest sales of the kind
ever held in Sarpy county. He offered
one man the pick of twenty-five head
Of his cows before the sale at $4,000.
These same cows brought $4,000 and
the sale netted around $4,000, about
$4,000 more than he expected to get
out Of the stock. On October he
boarded the train at Papillion with
the broadest smile Of any Of the twen
ty-eight Of the boys in this quota from
Sarpy county.
The people around here think this
man gave up about as much as any

Diplomatic Glossary Needed
Ledger

For those who cannot be restrained from pre-
mature oral and literary terrhinations OF the war
someone should publish glossary OF terms giving
the worlds meanings and the German meanings
of various expressions now In vogue. Such a talk
would be useful in translating into plain Anneri-
can much that is being said by the friends OF our
enemies For example. the. German meaning OF
freedom of the seas" SO far as known, is po.
tential German dominion of the seas in time OF
war and German disregard of international law.
The worlds meaning is freedom for all in time
OF peace, with the sea- like the land. battle-ground
in time of war, but with universal obedience to
international law.
Again, 'mil.tarsm," the German now pretends,
is simply armament Especially navaD. The world
means by "militarism" the combination OF might
with lawlessness and dnnconscionable aims. Hence
the world treats the word, naturally enough. as a
synonym for Prussanism A league OF righteous
nations in arms for high purpose, as we and our
allies Iow are leagued to crush ''militarisni" does
not make our armament "niltarism." An athlete

After reading these scriptures we
are forced to take one of two positions;
A disbelief in God and the wCnderful
promises made unto his children or
that man today when obedient to the
law of God has a right to expect
fulfllmert of His promises.
The writer is not believer in Chris
tian Science, but has faith in the true
and living God, who sent His son into
the world and gave Him a message
to deliver to man, and Christ said:
II know His commandments are life

scriptures tell of the wonderful love
of God shown to His people in the
past and that God is no respecter OF
persons, Acts 1924, but 'in every ma
ton he that feareth Him and worketh
righteousness is accepted of Him"
To believe that God drew near to
His children in one age and bestowed
upon them the blessing Of healing as
we'll as other gifts, but that now the
heavens are sealed and it is an i'm
possibility to secure His recognition,
would make Him partial God.
A belief Of this character cannot in
spire us with love for our Creator
Our conception of God as revealed to
us in the gospel of Jesus Christ is
one of justice and love and that truth
is Interchangeable. Obedience to God

Swine Breeders Called to Action.

Food Administrator Hoov'r has issued call
to the swine breeders of America that should be
needed. The meat supply of the world is short
and the only way to replensh it is by raising more
meat animals This in turn calls for greater &C
tivty on part of the breeders. That the re-
sponse will be generous and prompt may be ac-
cepted as foregone.
Swine breeding is one of the most profitable
branches OF the great agricultural industry. The
president of the Nebraska Farmers congress says
it will pay we'll with hogs at $l4 per hundred
weight even il they be fed on corn costing $l.25
per bushel. With hogs selling around $l8, the
value Of the animal to the farmer may be appre-
ciated. This state sends millions OF hogs to mar
ket each year, but the number may we'll be in
creased by little effort. Nebraska has a great
crop of corn this year. with other grains and
folders in abundance, making certain of plenty
OF feed. On the farms Of the state last January
were found 100000 head Of swine and the count
at the first of the coming year ought to see this
figure surpassed, even with the unusual market
ing OF the last months The average farm price
for hogs in 1916 was $500 per hundred, while
for the current year it has been closer to double
that figure.
The world needs the swine and 1t is up to the
farmer to produce them. Just as the call for
food grains was answered so will the demand for
meats be met. Only few of the farmers are
attending political meetings or writing pieces for
the papers these days; they are mostly busy on
their great duty of seeing to il that the world

Faith I'm God,

Weston, Ia, Oct. 3.--To the Editor
Of The Bee: In a recent issue of The
Bee an article appeared on the sub
ject of Power of Healing" in which
some assertions are made that will
not bear the light of investigation.
Had the writer, made more care
full study Of the scriptures he would
have found the promise Of enjoying
spiritual gifts extended farther than
to the second person" The Ian
guage of the Master as found in Marx
1917 reads as follows These signs
shall follow them that believe: in my
name shall they cast out devils: they
shall speak with new tongues; they
shall take up serpents and IL they
drink any deadly thing 1t shall not
hurt them; they shall lay hands on
the sick and they shall recover" The
New Testament throughout holds out
the cheering thought that Gods prom
ises reach down to our day.
The apostle, Peter, in Acts 1888 gives
us to understand the reception of the
Holy Spirit extends to all who will
comply with the conditions Of our
Heavenly Father. For the promise
Is unto you and to your children and
to all that are afar off, even as many
as the Lord, our God. shall call" Then

apostle, Paul, has said with reference
