The New Republic-one of the edi tors of which, Walter Wellman, has been selected as an advisor to Secre- tary of War Baker-warns our allies that too rigid insistence upon drastic peace terms will have the effect of solidifying Central Europe.
 Nothing the periodical states in eff feet, will prop up the house of autoc- racy so effectually as for the allies to seek dismemberment of the central empires. The danger is that the talk of crushing and dismembering Ger many, Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey will cause these four empires to form into one "for protection" just like the kingdoms of Bavaria and Wurtem- berg were coalesced with the German empire in 1871 and made it strong enough to swamp France in less than year.
 The point is we'll taken. Nothing, it can be logically assumed, will do so much to cause the enemy to hold out as unnecessary threats of extinc- tion. Our purpose was not to ex- tinguish nations, but to eXtinguish a system.

TYPEWRITERS IN WAR.

Typewriters are prominent in cleri- cal work in both the army and navy. This is a step in the direction of eff ficiency. In the old days difficulties of reading the handwriting of military and naval officers was one of horrors of war, and frequently resulted in "misinterpreting" written orders.
 When the British army arrived on the western front in 1914, the French were surprised, if not dumfounded, at the batteries of typewriters. They had never seen anything like it in an army before. But they much ad mired the work performed and the lessened possibilities for mistakes. Or ders were written out explicitly and in detail, and with less effort and fewer men than if done by hand Now the only army in Europe without type writers at the base depots is the Rus sian.
 There is no reason why the type writer should not be an instrument of war as we'll as of peace. The ad- vent of the machine brought more peace to the commercial world by eli minating the troublesome difficulties of hand writing; and if if the pen is mighter than the sword, why would not the typewriter be twfe as mighty as the pen?

Letters From People.
WOULD CELEBRATE FOURTH.

Editor Graphic:
 l want to commend you for your editorial expression to the effect that we of this city and county should celebrate the Fourth of July in com memcration of our independence. This should be done, not because we have soldiers in our midst, or that Fort Logan H. Roots is within driving distance as a recreation for the sol diers to come here and visit awhile. These things, at the moment, can be urged as greater reason than would heretofore obtain for the celebration of the Fourth. It is a notable fact, and one to be regretted, that We have always been very neglectful to say the least, in celebrating this great day in American history. Outside of few small country barbecues for the pur- pose of eating and dancing we never hear anything of or about our day of Independence. Ill the North and East and West this is the one great gala day. The amount of flags and fireworks and displays in the North and East, the reading of the declara- tion of independence itself, has al ways marked the Fourth as the great day in the United States, except in the South. It is statistical fact that the South celebrates Christmas Day-a day of peace-in the same manner that the other sections of our country celebrate the Fourth. We spend nearly as much for Roman candles, fire crackers and other display fire works for Christmas as the North does in celebrating the Fourth. Christ mas is celebrated in quiet way in all sections except our own. We should reverse things and celebrate the Fourth as it is intended it should be. Let us get the soldier boys here to show them what we have; it may be means to an end that we know not of at this time. And above all it inspires love for the American flag. Let it be told what the flag now stands for, as Presi- dent Wilson enunciated yesterday in his flag day address to the people. Let the Declaration of Independence be read, as it should ever be, on this day of days to the American people.

WORKING THE PAPERS.

Our admiration goes out to the per- sons who, when they work the papers for free space to "boost" some selfish interest, inclose a request to the edi- tor not to deviate from the capitali- zation in the copy nor to edit it.
 In other words, run advertising in the paper as free reading matter "gratis and without charge then violate the papers "style" of compo- sition at the same time.
 The wonder is not that some papers possibly may fall for such exquisite nerve, but that some people possess such exquisite nerve.

Sixteen young women, graduates oil
Brownell Hall, marched in cap and
gown from that institution Sunday
to st. Matthias church at Tenth and
Worthington streets and attended the
Sunday services, where Bishop Will

mon.
Bishop Williams chose for his text,
"Let all the earth keep silent before
Him." In part he said, During the
period of this great war, when cool
deliberation is our greatest necessity
can we not see the fruits of slence?"
In speaking Of our part in the war, he
also said, DO you not suppose that
Almighty God has stamped our
entrance into this war, as champion
of liberty, with His seal OF divine ap-
proval"
The service consisted of the Missa

Please or Kill Is Now
Motto at the Den

It takes old king Ak-Sar-Ben to dig
up unusual features with which to
.amuse his loyal subjects, and his latest
innovation will be offered at tonights
performance of The Kermess, at the
classic old Den, when Chief Henry
w. Dunn will sing CLANCY" as all
interpolated number in THE Queen
of Hair Island"
Clancy" is one of the best Irish
songs ever written and has been sung
in Omaha only once before, and that
by the inimitable Frank Lalor, in
Coming Thro' the Rye at Boyd's
theater, more than ten years ago.
Chief Dunn heard Lalor sing that
ballad and promptly bought copy,
which he has kept ever since. Now
he intends to spring it on the Ak-Sar-
Ben knights. He tried it out last
Wednesday evening before the under
takers and dentists, and it tickled
them immensely. Anything that will
make an undertaken or dentist laugh
ought to go mighty good with bunch
of South Side pigskinners-for to-
night is South Side night, you know.
This is only one of the many new
stunts to be sprung by Gus Renze
this evening, for the big drive for l.
600 more members is on.
"We aim to please or KILL" grimly
remarked President Buckingham, Of
the board of governors, while placing
his o. K. on the Renzian novelties.

The Machinery
of the Body
(By DIR. I. W. SHORTY

The body is highly organized ma
chine of complicated arts in which
the liver and the kidneys work for
the common good. Damage to either
one of these organs interferes with
man as a motor mechanism. The auto
mobile expert knows how important it
is that the carburetor does not get too
much fuel, along with sufficient air to
burn or explode the gas. Too much
fuel in mans machine, such as eat
ing too much meat, or alcohol or tea,
and the liver cannot "turn over" ner-
vous overwork and lack of exercise
in outdoor air bring constipation and
bad health. Eat less meat, plenty
of vegetables, and with air and good
exercise you need little else. If the
liver needs rousing-and most of us
need this once a week-take a safe
vegetable extract Of the leaves of
aloe, May-apple, root of jalap made
into tiny sugar-coated pill, and sold
by almost every druggist as DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets-first put
up nearly fifty years ago.
Most people die eventually of an
over-acid condition. If the blood can
be rendered more alkaline the longer
we live. With regular hours, plenty
of water between meals, sensible
coarse food and chance to get the
poisons out of the system, a man will
live to be hundred. But, unfor-
tunately, our highly nervous way of
living brings increased storage of
uric acid in the body. This acts as
a poison, and we suffer from lum-
bago, aches or pains, rheumatism,
gout.
Get rid of this uric acid poison by
taking harmless medicine called An
uric, which throws out the uric acid
by stimulating the kidneys. Drink
pint of hot water before meals and
take Anuric double strength), three
or four times day. Anuric can be
obtained at almost any drug store.
