Another Move on the Irish Question.

Lloyd George has made John Redmond pro-
cepted by Ireland for a term of FIVE years with
the alternative Of a convention at which repre-
sentatives OF the different groups and factions be
given all opportunity to compromise il possible on
a plan for self-govcrnment for the island. Mr..
Redmond, it is reported, has chosen the alterna-
tive, and convention may be looked for
This is proof only that the British premier is
moving to redeem his pledge to the Irish, but is
not to be taken as guaranty Of settlement. 1t is
hard for outsiders to understand the depth and
intensity OF the differences that hold the Irish
groups apart That internal politics has much to
do with the perpetuation of the grievances is ad-
mitted by close students, who point out that
neighborly relations exist between Ustermen and
others of the Irish, on the 18th OF March and
the 18th of July. Extremists have held the atten-
ton OF the world for years. to the exclusion of the
great body Of Irish, who sincerely devote them
selves to the pursuits of peace, and look ahead to
the time when pickering will cease and Ireland
may have place among the nations.
1t is conceivable that an Irish convention may
bring about basis on which agreement finally
may rest One group should not be permitted to
forever enforce its views to the detriment or ex-
cusion OF the others. Under the convention the
Irish will at least be given an opportunity to say
what sort OF government they want and this may
mean progress towards the solution.

American Ships in War Waters.

Word from Washington and London con.

week ago that our destroyer fotilla had been
sent across the Atlantic to join the British navy
on patrol duty Rejoicing OF Britons at the pres
cncc OF American war ships in the troubled wa
tiers surrounding the islands will have milder
but sincere echo in this country The actual
physical presence of the United States in the
war arena must bring to US more directly the
serious side OF our self-set task. Pride will be
felt at the expressions of the British commander,
when he discovered the readiness OF the Yankee
tars for their duties Our terriers OF the sea are
now pittcd against the terror and the hope Of

into the region where destruction turks on every
side, above and below the surface They'll make
good just as the American navy always has
made good since the day when John Paul Jones
sailed its first ship TO victory through the wa
tiers where our destroyers have joined the watch

Omaha, May ITO the Editor of
The Bee: Flocking of rural population
to cities is rapidly reducing production
and increasing consumption. This is
one, If not the main cause of the in
creased cost of living. The only rem
edy for this is to go back to the soil
and by extensive and intensive farm
ing restore the equilibrium between
production and consumption.
Shorten the circuit between pro-
Queer and consumer. A long circuit, in
spite of insulation, causes an immense
waste Of electricity. Why should not
the farmers sell direct to the millers
and the mllers to the grocers? Why
not go back to local mills and save
transportation to distant mills and
back again to the consumer.
Fine -four loses about 80 per cent in
quantity and the same in quality in
artistic milling Why not grind the
whole wheat, abolish boiling and eat
nutritious bread? The saving of this
80 per cent would make up for short
crops and leave large surplus in long
ones
Waste no food. Make everything
palatable and eat all of it. The high
cost of living is greatly aggravated by
the cost Of high living.
It's all right to talk about yard and
lot gardening, but 1t will not amount
to much. 1t takes knowledge and eX-
perence to raise good vegetables and
fruits. Give the farmers the labor they
need and they will glut the city mar
kets.
Restore the old city markets. Bring
the farmer and consumer together and
lower the price of vegetables from 25
to so per cent. Such markets would
greatly stimulate suburban gardening.
II the cereals now wasted in liquor
making were made into bread it would
greatly relieve the shortage and leave
100000 to pay the increased
price of all foodstuffs
This nation has never known a real
scarcity of food, but it is now called
upon to susta in not only itself, but all
the entente allies besides. This will
tax us to the utmost. God speed the
right and hasten the day of universal
democracy. D. G. JOHN.

Our Touchy Senators.

Folks who have smiled at the Russian coun-
Gil OF workmen and soldiers berating generals
and ministers for not first submitting their Or
ders for revision, may get another laugh if they
will consider the spectacle at Washington Here
we have revered senators Of the democratic ma
jority railing at democratic president for dar-
ing to go ahead about the business assigned to
him under laws recently passed. When the
Council for National Defense was provided for,
it was understood to be empowered to set the
country ready for war; the resolution declaring
existence OF a state of war carried with it power
tor the president to use all the country's re-
sources in defense. Under this authority some
thing has been done while the congress has been
debating details of additional legislation. Sen.
ators Lewis, Martin and other democrats find in
this occasion for great indignation, and demand
that in the future they be consulted before ap-
pontments are made, contracts let or anything
else is done looking to preparation. These per-
tecty good democrats may some day be aroused
to the fact that war does not wait on their de-
llberations. Scolding the president may relieve
their minds but it will not check the progress of
events

Buying the Liberty" Loan.

Secretary McAdoo of the Treasury depart.
ment urges on citizens the desirability OF sub
scribing to the Liberty loan. The success of the
issue should not be left to the banks and the heavy
capitalists for the people are deeply concerned,
and are sincerely invited to purchase Bonds are
issued in denominations as low as $50, in order
that modest investors may participate in the
loan. Many banks are arranging to assist their
customers i'll buying these bonds under conditions
that will permit payments to be made with little
inconvenience to the buyer. This will enable
many to get possession of at least portion of
the securities. 1t is good way to demonstrate
personal interest in the governments project,
as well as to practice thrift. The popularity of
the cause will induce many to buy and almost
anybody can get into the game. Ownership of
Liberty bond will draw the tie closer between
the citizen and his country. Help yourself by

Hysteria Versus Patriotism,

One of the leaders Of the war work among
the women says economy should be made pa
triotic, and not painful" She might well have
added that it should not be spasmodic nor hys-
terical. What really is required is simple re-
adjustment of our domestic economy. Elimina-
ton OF wastes does not mean and should not be-
come parsmony. Extravaganza may be done
away with without resort to stinginess, and peo-
pie need not unduy stint themselves in order to
be careful. Business as usual is just as es-
sential as military preparation. When our peo-
pie get steadied down little, life will still flow
in its orderly course, and we will be all the bet
ter off because of our preliminary shaking up.
Economy will then be practiced as part of the
daily routine and not as a sacrifice Life will be
all the sweeter because OF its increasing sobriety,
but to get onto sane plane OF living calls for
no reckless disarrangement of business.

The Price of Coal

Perhaps the federal trade commission under
estimates its own powers OF control over the hard
coal situation but if it will fulfill to the letter the
intentions outlined in its preliminary report to
the United States senate il will find that even the
formidable combination OF coal producers and car
riers will hesitate about carrying to an extreme its
policy OF extortion at the expense of the consum-
ers. The power of publicity which the commission
threatens to use to check dealers who attempt to
extort extravagant profits is potent one. The
public has been officially informed by this body
which speaks advisedly and only after full inves-
tgaton OF the facts, that there is no reason for
panic as to the adequacy OF the anthracite supply
and that as the present prices are unwarranted
by market and labor conditions there is conse-
quently no good reason for an advance in those
prices. ..~~+-- '.'~,.'."
Ordinary consumers will hardly take to them
selves the commissions warning against pancky
purchasing OF coal, for this is commodity which
the average householder or even the average busi-
ness concern cannot hold in storage in any con-
siderable quantity. Summer reductions in the price
OF anthracite have been made expressly to encour-
age the domestic consumer to be forehanded in
the matter OF his fuel supply and not to leave it
until winter to buy, when the demands OF the
improvident increase the troubles of distributors.
Such timely coal purchases, early in the season.
are encouraged in theory If not in practice by the
discount offered blythe dealers e,
II is the spectators, possessing large storage
facilities and the power to hold loaded cars who
are to blame There ought TO be no difficulty in
locating and dealing with offenders of this class
Such practices could not have been possible with
out the consent or contriyance of the carriers, II
the latter cannot apply the remedy the time must
come when. the powers of government will be
brought TO bear upon trade that performs a
service 50 vital, to the life Of the community.

To Ward OF U-Boats.

Editor of The Bee: l had a subma-
rine idea similar TO the one l saw In
your paper. My idea was to build a
net on two sides of a ship with arms
extending out from the ship, the net
running parallel with the ship, ex-
tending in front and behind some dis
lance, regulated so it could be raised
and lowered at will.
This net would want to, extend down
into the water the same depth as the
