One ranch firm, Krause Bros, in Box Butte county, are drawing royalties in excess of S1,000 day from a huge lake on their ranch The state of Nebraska owns many school land sections containing alkali lakes, and is leasing them to private parties on a royalty basis.

Six Weeks of Revelation

Those who have followed the Gerard series which was concluded in The Republican yesterday after a daily publication of six weeks have very clear conditions in Germany to the time the former Amer can ambassador left that country as late as May Those who expected startling revelations in My Four Years in Germany" have undergone disappointment There were no thrills in it. but nevertheless not lacking in steady revelation to the careful thoughtful reader
 It presents state of the German mind, the mind of the emperor and that peasant as well as that of all intervening classes in wonderful accord a re- markable unity of purpose and a national faith found in no other country, the face of the earth
 This is not the result of forty years preparation for war; but the growth of centuries since the little states and principates Europe were driven together and welded into protection against powerful neighbors every side That opinion is the most important revelation in the series MT Gerard saw no sign of internal explosion in Ger many, though in the concluding nstallment he hopes that there may be revolt against auocracy but that at the time intimates can be produced only by unbearable pressure brought from the outside the defeat of Germany That then the task of the allies without the expectation of any aid from within
 MT Gerard is pessimstic. He manifests no doubt of the ultimate defeat of Germany through out he admits that there no sign of such defeat He rests his hope entirely upon the great latent power of this country, its unlimited resources and our ab ity to develop and mobilize them. He tells us though that without their mobilization and intelligent drec- tien will be powerless
 Thus the whole task is before us; no part of has yet been accomplished The check of the Germans at the Marne only gave the world breathing spell Since then though the world has been able to strengthen its defenses, Germany is stronger than it at outset of the and has added vastly to it's con- quered territory.
 No have read this series without acquiring realization of the mighty work that has been set this nation do The individual effort of every man and woman in America when brought together in an aggregate, will not be too great

DRAF I SAVING
 GRACE TO HIM

Uncle Sam has saved one of his young men of military age from pros ecution on the serious charge of cattle rustling.
 James Pathway. said to be member of a gang of alleged cattle thieves which it is charged, stole a large num- Der of cattle in the southern part of the state, changed and mutilated the brands and attempted to run the cattle out Of the state, had been arrested in company with Lee Parker and Mexican, both similarly charged, and held for trial in court.
 While out on bond, Pathway was called to the colors in the second con- tingeEt and now is on his way to Camp Funston. It is said that the au- thorities probably will not bring Hath- way back from the army to answer to the charge of cattle stealing. The oth- CT members of the band have left the country.

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
Potash in Nebraska
10 the EdItOr O1 The ArIZOna Ee-
 publican:

To the Editor of The Arizona Re-
 publican:
 Sir: In Chapter XXXVIII of ex- Ambassador Gerards interesting lett ters, published in your columns re- gently, appears a brief paragraph relative to the potash industry MT. Gerard says: Enough potash, how ever, is obtained in the United States for munitions purposes from the burning of seaweed on the Pacific coast, and from the primes ill a lake in Southern California and from a rock called alunite in Utah." He further speaks of having heard of the arrival of some potash from newly discovered fields in Brazil, and ru- mors of it's discovery in Spain. T presume, "coptinues Mir Gerard, the German potash syndicate will in- mediately endeavor to control those fields CBrazil and Spain) in order to hold the potash trade of the world in its grip
 It may be of interest to your read CTS to know that the German potash syndicate is up against the enormous output of potash from Nebraska, U. s. A. Potash is being produced from the brine in numerous Nebraska lakes at the rate of more than 300 tons a day and the output is rapidly increas- ing. The brine is piped from the alkali lakes of Northwestern Nebras- ka to reduction plants situated on lines of railroad This brine is from 8 to F per cent potash. The discov- cry of the potash properties of the waters of these lakes was made by two young University of Nebraska students less than three years ago Today there is an investment of more than S2,500,000 in potash reduction plants, and the 1917 output will eX- ceed s3,500,000 in value. Careful and competent investigators assert that the potash supply of Nebraska IS practically inexhaustihle. These al kali lakes were once the bane of the

Planes and Subs.

Editor of The Republican,:
 Sir: 1 assume that it can not be properly considered as verging too closely upon the crime of giving aid ard comfort to the enemy if specula tion be indulged in as to the meaning of the very extensive, not to say ex- travagant, preparation that are now being pushed with feverish haste by the government for the construction of great numbers O. aeroplanes. So far as speculation is concerned, the enemy is fully as capable and much more practiced in the art than we are and is possessed of as much informal tion as we have regarding the plans for aeroplane construction in this country. So l think the censor will let this get by"
 In a certain measure the French and English have surpassed the Germans in the number and effectiveness of the aeroplanes in action on the western front if the information given in the public prints is reliable. If that is true
 it will not require a very great num-
 Der of American planes to emphatic ally overmaster the enemy planes.
 Either Uncle Sam is preparing to
 make assurance doubly sure" or else
 there is another more distant and, as yet unrevealed object that is in his
 minds eye Might it not be that the aeroplane is to sweep the U-boat from
 the seas by effectively destroying their
 bases? Think what might be done to a submarine base were it to receive
 the daily attentions of one hundred bombing aeroplanes, each built to carry from 800 to 1000 pounds of bombs. In a week, or, say a month at most, such a base would present the appearance of one of the villages that was in No Mans Land, where its
 locality is indicated by sign no more | conspicuous than the reddish color of the dust.
 There are at least three German submarine boat bases that are prob | ably the objects of much of the aero- plane construction that is now going 1 on. When Uncle Sam takes the su- premacy of the air as completely as l John Bull holds the supremacy of the l seas, the U-boat meance will dissolve
 as the German hopes of world con- quest are now vanishing.

Mrs. Helen H. Gardener, writer and suffragist, has disproved the old notion, formerly held by some scien- lists, that the convolutions of a woman's brain necessarily place her mentally little nearer the ancesJ tral monkey than her husband. She placed these scientists in bad light by showing that they based their con- clusions not upon facts discovered by research, but upon their own individ- ual prejudices.

made it imperative for other people to dis
cover the processes for making MANY
things which previously they were content
to receive n a boon from the ingenious

ample, that the secret of making dyestuffs

The losses are finely retributive. of

experience Of relief agencies abroad in the

Between the Red Cross and other relief
