What the Red Cross Means.

All over Omaha may be noticed little red
crosses on the lapels OF coats or the bosoms Of
waists and these will be multiplied many times
when those who are not wearing them come to
realize what the symbol means. 1t is the might
lest of all organized forces Of peace. Its banner
waves over women and men who are devoted to
the work of binding up wounds. of salvage and
comfort, solace and support wherever disaster
or calamity has visited the world When destruc-
ton in any form takes its dire toll Of humankind
and leaves misery and suffering in its wake, work.
ers of the Red Cross come as ministering angels
to soothe and heal if possible to clear away the
wreckage and set life into working order once
more. Up to the very front Of the death-swept
battle lines into the darkest recess of the pesti-
lence-scourged city, where famine broods over
desolation, wherever hurt or harm has come to
man and helpless victims look for aid the Red
Cross comes with succor. 1t knows no country
nor creed, nor race it works the world around
to lessen the ills men must endure. 1t asks in
return only that it be furnished with the means
whereby to work. That the United States has
been laggard in its support of the Red Cross is
not to be taken as sign that the condition will
remain long, once Our people come to realize what
the organization means. Get one Of the buttons
on your coat today; 1t doesn't cost much and it
will help you feel you are doing your bit.

"Mobilizing" an Army for the Future.

The list of names OF children who are going
out Of the grade schools to take up work in the
high schools emphasizes deeply significant fea-
ture Of our social life The process of education,
which goes on so quietly and so orderly, is &C
cepted as a matter of course by the majority of
our people But It touches home life most closely,
its influence finally being felt in the tiniest pulse
of national existence. These little ones have
toddled to kindergarten and on through the pri-
mary and intermediate grades, until they now ap-
proach the more serious work of the upper strata
OF knowledge. All this training Is carried on
under the solcitous care OF the nation to the end
that the children be fitted for the privileges and
responsibilities that will be theirs as citizens OF
the republic. This is continuing work that
means the perpetuty of our institutions. Free
dom cannot fail when men and women so trained
are devoted to its preservation. This training
begins at home, continues through school and
lasts while life remains, The republic is safe
while its children are modified in the mighty
army OF the literally educated.

The Wire Censorship

There is no reasonable ground for criticism
or complaint on the part OF the American people
with the wire censorship that has been applied
by the federal government. Its terms are reason
able and the business of the community will soon
adjust itself to system made inevitable by the
state of war. Indeed the wonder is that the insti-
tuition Of the cable censorship was so long de-
layed The restrictions it is to be remembered
will apply only to messages by cable and land
telegraph addressed to persons outside of the
United States, and its operation is to be still fur
Their limited for the present to the cable lines and
to the Mexican border. Whether it will ever be
necessary to extend the censorship to commune
cations by wire to Canada time will determine.
lnasmuch as all direct cable connection with the
Teutonic powers has been severed the precautions
to be taken will have reference especially to conf
munications by way OF Mexico and to neutral
countries in Europe. The wireless has increased
the complications of the problem of securing
"water-tight' closure OF communication likely to
be of advantage to the enemy, and it is because
of the possibility of the existence OF wireless sta
tons in Mexico and Central America that mes
sages passing to the south should be subjected
to especial scrutiny. The recent seizure of the
materials for wireless plant a steamship pass
ing through the Panama canal shows that this
possible leak is by no means an imaginary one,
and the existence OF an aggressive pro-German
element in Mexico confirms the necessity for the
step taken by the president. The regulations
however, are of the most liberal character as to
the permissible codes, ETC.. and unless this liberal
ity shall be abused the American people will have
little reason to complain OF that which they must
in any event endure.

Shutting OF Official" Joy Rides.

The legislature has put an end to official jun
kets in Nebraska by forbidding them. Travel by
state officers hereafter is to be strictly on business
of the state and within narrow limitations. The
practice Of attending conventions conferences and
gatherings of many kinds under many names is
one Of questionable propriety to say the least The
state would like to have its officials well equipped
for the intelligent and effective discharge of all
their duties, but the advantage Of the 10y ride
has never been established, while the multiplied
ton Of gatherings to which these men were in
vited gives color to the suspicion that many
served merely to support fads or special UNDER
takings with no real public interest or purpose in
volved. The lawmakers, however, have solved
any doubt in favor of the taxpayers and any serv-
ant Of the state who feels the need of special train
ing must satisfy it at his own expense. This
course may not bring the best results, yet the
experiment is worthy OF trial If wrong it may
be modified, but it will be tested first.

A Candidate for Cold Storage.

The men who are most violent against it
(the German-American alliance) are those who
have felt the voting power OF this organization
at the polls"
YES there are politicians who stand in awe
Of this organization
Those who have crossed us have been put
in cold storage politically. "-Letter in World
Herald signed w. F. Wappich
These extracts from public announcement
through the Omaha hyphenated paper in defense
of the German-A American alliance by one of its
most active spokesman strike us as in peculiarly
bad taste and decidedly out OF tune with the times
Why does Mr.. Wappch use Senator Hitch
cocks World Herald at this time to remind every
one whom the German-American alliance claims
to have helped into office of his obligation and
to suggest that future political support depends
upon subserviency to present demands?
This is no part of the explanation how the
teaching OF German was forced into the public
schools or the reasons urged for continuing it.
What our German population element have done
for the upbuilding OF this section OF the country,
their substantial character and their steadfast 10y
atty may we'll be dwelt upon, but threats Of politi-
cal destruction for public men who fearlessly per-
form their duty as they see it, in this crucial mo-
ment, do not, we feel sure, reflect the real sent-
ment Of the membership OF that organization.
II any such action is contemplated the German
American alliance would do we'll to put its own
overzealous letter writer's in cold storage. In the
interval we ask the public not to judge all our
Gcrman-Amcrican friends by the one or two
who are most in evidence because they make the
most noise.

Our Fighting Men
William F. Fullan.

Rear Admiral William F. Fullam, whose last
station made public by the Navy department. was
the command of the reserve force of the Pacific
fleet, is one of the best known officers on the &C
tive list Of the navy From the time he was grad
uated at Annapolis in 1877 he has been doing
things in every assignment he has been given
and has always been in the forefront. In the
war with Spain he was attached to the cruiser
New Orleans and took part in the siege of San
tiago. His next important work was during the
disturbance in Honduras After his return from
the West Indies he was put in charge of the
naval station at Newport In 1912 he was made
head of the new naval training station on the
Great Lakes. In the interim, however, he COM
manded the battleship Mississippi. From 1914
to 1916 Captain Fullam was superintendent Of
the Annapolis academy.

Somewhere in Nebraska, May g.
To the Editor Of The Bee: Were you
my neighbor and were ! to approach
you with this propositions: II demand
that you stop talking against me in
your family circle; I demand that you
stop telling your children that ] am a
bad man; one Of your children has
trespassed on my preserve, and / de-
mand that you find out which child It
is, and insist on going over to your
home to assist you In finding out
which child 1t Is; and you can have
the privilege Of holding the child while
/ whip him, or I will hold him while
you whip him, but / am going to see
that he is whipped" In such a case
the position of Austria and Serbia
after the shooting of Archduke Franz
Ferdinand would have been duplicat-
ed. The hoary-headed old bully who
sat on the throne of Austria II hungary
would have had no more thought of
making such demand of a first-class
foreign power than he would have
dared put his cowardly old pate inside
of Jumbos mouth. There is no doubt
that the visit of Franz Ferdinand to
Bosnia was for the purpose of excit-
ing some hostile act, which would be
an excuse for opening a quarrel with
Serbia, but the archduke hardly ex-
pected to meet such a desperate
tyrannicide. The Serbian minister at
Vienna had warned Franz Ferdinand
of his danger in advance. But in
summing up her imaginary wrongs
Austria has always omitted this fact
from the story. Serbia acted in per-
feet good faith.
The wrongs she has suffered from
Austria will be stated in my next let

years. He is a native of Philadelphia, but off

career he served on the historic frigates Constu-
ton and Constellation, accompanying the latter
vessel to Ireland in 1881 with cargo of potatoes
for the famne-stricken peasants. In the war with
Spain he was division officer on the flagship
Brooklyn: In 1914, while commanding the battle
ship Florida he directed the landing OF the 5000
marines and sailors at Vera Cruz later receiving

Some Responsibility on the Drivers.

The supreme court of Nebraska has just in
terpreted the rule of the road in most mpor-
tant particular as concerns auto drivers. 1t is
held that approach to railroad crossings must be
made with the car under full control, otherwise
the driver must accept all risk Failure of en-
ginemen to sound whistles or bells at road cross
ings, the court says, is not cause to hold the rail-
road company liable for damages in case of acct
dent Autoists must assure themselves of safety
before attempting to cross. This ruling is in line
with reason Railroad trains have always been
conceded right-of-way because of the nature of
the traffic. No good reason for disturbing this
practice is shown, although swifter moving vehi-
cles have been adopted for use on the highways.
An auto may be brought under control much
easier than train Of cars and therefore, drivers
must accept the responsibility of stop, look
listen" Observance of the simple precaution
suggested will save much loss.

Blair, Neb., May ITO the Edi-
tor of The Bee: In your issue Of May
4 C. o. Holmquist of the Holmquist Ell
evator company makes the following
statement in regard to the govern
ments of the United States and Can
ada fixing a maximum price for
wheat:
81 suppose, Of course, the govern
ment can set maximum price, but
1t would be almost impossible to fix
it so it would be just to all"
II Mr.. Holmquist had used the word
satisfactory instead Of just he would
come nearer the mark-no one ex-
poets the government to look after
the special interests of the wheat
gamblers. the trust elevators nor the
railroads who coddle them, but that
the government will act justly to the
producer and to the consumer every
honest man believes the government
can and will.
Mr.. Holmquist also states that even
when the farmer gets SO for wheat he
is not getting an excess profit" Show
me the farmer who ever gets anything
near the Omaha or Chicago Grain ex-
change prices for wheat when he
hauls it to the elevator and yet the
consumer who buys the flour and the
bread pays for it at a price fixed on
the basis of the price quoted by the
gamblers and manipulators on the
Grain exchange.
Eliminate the middleman and all
his attendant evils and the farmer will
not have cause to grumble on account
of low prices nor will the consumer
have starvation staring him in the
face just because, according to Mr..
Holmquist, the government cannot fix
a maximum price on the peoples food

Pay of City Firemen.

Omaha, May 1O.-To the Editor of
The Bee. What is the value of a leg
1slative act? Who has the authority
to lay aside laws made by the peo-
pies representatives? What right
have city commissioners to ignore the
laws Of this state? What would hap
pen II the authorities of some state
would arbitrarily decide to disregard
the national laws? Is 1t more of a.
sin for state or its authorities to
defy the nation than for city authors
ties to defy the state?
Mr. Editor, the above are questions
which are worrying thousands of the
best citizens of this city, while they
consider the injustice of the position
taken by the city commissioners in
denying to the city firemen the sal
airy raise to which they are entitled
by the laws of this state. The city
policemen were given a similar raise
by the state legislature and they got
theirs. Why this discrimination?
Why make fish of one and flesh of
another?
The prevailing high prices Of food
stuffs makes the matter one of vital
Importance to the firemen and their
families at this time. A salary today
has only 80 per cent Of the purchasing
value Of the same salary three years
ago. The extra IS every month
would help in a slight degree to meet
the heavy cost of lfe's necessities
The firemen need the money now. 1t
it their money and every principle
of right and justice demands that it
should be given to them.

est in the salaries Of firemen. | am
only one Of the thousands who be-
lieye in fair play to all. If the mat
ter was submitted to a referendum
vote there wouldn't be 100 votes
against the firemen. The pitiable
thing about it is that the firemen must
suffer in silence. Any attempt to
force payment of the amount by any
member of the department would re-

suit in nothing less than a severe
reprimand and in all probability 1t
would result in immediate suspension.
With the example of their old cham
pion, Ed Leeder, before their eyes 1t
is doubtful II any member Of the de-
partment will muster up sufficient
courage to demand his rights under
the law. f. NJ. WAYMORE.
