FLYER coLLlDEs WITH \
GERMAN SHELL HIGH 4
IN AIR. LANDS SAFELY \

Y
Paris (by mail).-One of the most
remarkable feats in the history of avia-
ton was performed by a French flyer
working with the American %escaGrille,
This aviator ran into a German shell
at a high altitude. His control wires
we've completely cut away; his levers
We're useless. He was flying a wreck at
thousands of feet above the ground.
Keeping his head, he cleverly manipud-
lated the speed shifts of his engine to
allow his machine to fall slowly in a
circuling motion. He landed in safety.
"Spads'' now being used by the
French airmen are forced to land at a
minimum speed of 10 to 40 miles
per hour. 1t is for this reason espe-
clally that the aviator's stunt is re-
garded as n OF the miracles of avia-
ton.

To smooth the way for those

Don't Try to Avoid Registration.

Young men subject to the provisions OF the
selective draft law, no matter what their prefer
ences or predictions, are solemnly warned by
the president that registration is unavoidable.
Further, the president tells them that attempts
TO evade this requirement will avail them nothing,
but will subject them to serious penalties. Those,
for example, who hope to escape by absenting
themselves from the country, will. on their return,
find officers waiting to arrest them, charged with
a misdemcanor and will be punished and regis
tered as we'll. 1t is not pleasant to contemplate
the fact that very considerable number OF men
who are thus called upon by their country do
seek to escape through some means. Various
societies and organizations, animated by different
reasons, but all tending to one end, have busily
endeavored to foment general resistance to the
law. Several OF these agitators are facing trial
on charges of having committed an offense for
which the severest penalty may be exacted, Reg
istraon is serious business it is the call OF the
nation to its citizens and the voice OF the nation
must be needed this time.

Spain's Shaky Throne.

No throne in Europe seems less secure and
more shaky than that of Spain, where the unrest
is rapidly leading up to open revolt The govern!
ment has made many arrests of prominent men
and army officers, but is unable thus to quiet the
popular uneasiness. Adoption OF the course Of
repression is due to the tenacty with which the
Bourbon clngs to his traditions, an exhibition Of
his inability to learn anything, even by his own
experience. The house of Hapsburg has dom-
mated Spain for centuries its arrogance increasing
with its incapacity as the years have passed. Its
policy, now adhered to, is that under which Spain
was brought down from the position of leader
among the civilized governments to its present
condition Of exhaustion stripped Of world-empire
and impoverished in men and means.
But traditions of the old regime persist, and
Alfonso is following in the footsteps of Ferdi-
nand and Philip. The plain people of Spain, long
repressed and rigidly governed by church and
state, respond slowly to popular movements, but
certainly are not unaffected by the rising tide of
democracy all around them France and Portugal,
Switzerland and Italy nearest neighbors and clos
est friends of the Spaniards, all are alive with
the democratic impulse, and their influence must
be felt by the people with whom their intercourse
is so intimate.
Moreover, the pressure on the Spanish govern
ment is greatly aggravated by the German U-boat
campaign, in which Spain has lost many ships,
and about which steady flow Of notes has passed
between Madrid and Berlin. This is not without
its effect on the public mind and has not been SO
far carried on in way that would strengthen the
king and his ministers with the people. Spain
would be more of moral than material acces-
sion to the cause of the allies, but the establish
inent Of a democratic government in lieu Of the
illibera monarchy would not be altogether with
| out effect.

The first month of prohibition in Omaha has

or any particular jolt to the customary smooth

One month is probably too short a time to

much of stored drinkables continued accessible
to the previsioned and forehanded. The survey
which The Bee has just had made OF the places
formerly licensed to sell liquor indicates also that
just about one-third of them are vacant. Almost
two-thirds of these locations are now given over

What U-Boat Success Means.

Omaha, May 31.-To the Editor Of
The Bee: Many wage earners do not
realize that their economic welfare
will be seriously injured If ruthless
Germany succeeds in its attempt to
drive our world commerce off the sea.
Germany can become master of the
sea If it can destroy the foreign trade
from our farms and factories.
In that way Germany would close
many of our factories, coal and iron
mines, depress farming, lessen trans
portation, depress wages, destroy our
prosperity and throw millions of wage
earners out of regular employment.
By forcing several years of hard times
on us, ruthless Germany would COM
pei us to grant a German peace, which
means special concessions and billions
Of dollars to pay its war expenses, thus
Strengthening them while weakening
us. Labor would have a large share
in the payment Of a huge indemnity.
Shall we allow Germany to depress Ia
Dor and industry by stopping our over
sea trade and placing huge indem-
nifty on their backs?

cause Of all the allies, pledged the honor OF the
house of Savoy; and whether we like kings or

that the men OF that house have failed to keep
their promises. The entire Italian nation is
equally earnest in this matter. Such whisperings
as there have been of fear that the Italians
would desert the allied cause If Austria met their
territorial demands are silenced by the solemn
assurance They were not, however, needed. The
Italians war tagged for some time after Gorilla
but the fact was that they did not possess the
material the guns and the shells to enable them
to press their attacks further. That deficiency
as the fighting on the Carso proves, has beer
remedied. We have now excellent assurance moi

dangerous Russian front of any noteworthy con

Russian front up to the Germans, but that ever
