Council OF Defense
Will Be Explained

Some misunderstanding seems to
exist on the part Of the public as to
the status of the Woman's National
Council of Defense. 1t is the only
organization instituted by the United
States government for the purpose of
carrying out such activities as the
government may direct, and the state
chairman, Mrs. Stevens, is the only
woman on the state war board with
the governor and his associates.
A meeting will be held in the city
hall Friday afternoon at 1880 o'clock
When the Woman's National Council
CT Defense will be fully explained and
business of Importance will be trans
acted. The chairman of every wo-
mans organization or her represen-
tative is expected to be present as
well as any other woman interested
in the work.

Ashland Is not content to have
given practically all her young men
TO the call OF the country to enter
military and naval service In the
world war, but the older men, real
izing that a call may be made on
men of all ages and walks In life,
are banding together to fit them
selves for service, should the occa-
sion arise.
For this purpose they are taking
advantage OF the offer made hy the
University of Oregon and are plan
ming the establishment OF a local
lranch Of the University Of Oregon
officers training school extension
work.
Last evening a meeting VAS held
IN the armory by the business and
professional men of this city where
tentative organization was made
sor the Ashland unit. c. NJ. Thomas,
state secretary, and Alan Brackin-
reed, state secretary of the uniyer-
slty extension work, were present and
assisted in the organization, and eX-
planned the purpose and outlined the
work to be followed.
The purpose of this organization Is
to study and practice military SCI
ences according to the courses 20 be
prescribed by the university authori-
ties, with the end in view of fitting
the members to become officers and
non-commissioned officers in the nil
itary training Of the United States
or Of the state of Oregon. THIS or
Panization is under the jurisdiction
Of the university authorities, and the
course Is identical with that p fescri5-
I'd by pupils actually enrolled in the
university.
As no citizen may become an Of
1icer of the army, according 70 a rul-
ing of the government, without eitL-
er working up from the ranks or
taking a university course, this ex-
tension work has been established
for the benefit of business and pro-
fessional men whose occupations re-
strict them from entering the univer-
sity for this course. This is actual

oeived in Shanghai and transmitted

American and Japanese troops, the
advices add, are entraining for the

News from the front, 1t is added,

southeast of Roye.
Driven from the high ground pro-
tectlng Peronne on the west and fore
ed beyond the Hindenburg line in the
region of Arras. the Germans are
fighting desperately but apparently
with much confusion, to stay the
British attacks In the region of Ba-
paume.
Since noon today heavy reinforce
ments have been put into the enemy
line in this region and resistance
there has stlffened. Apparently the
use of these reinforcements is for
The purpose of giving the enemy time

canal Du Nord on the west. Whether
he will be able to hold this line Is
doubtful. His next defense line east
would be behind the canal Du Nord,
about six miles east of Bapaume.
Along the Somme in spite of stub
born resistance, the British have
pushed the Germans off the high
ground between Maricourt and the
river. South Of the river they have
reached Dompierre, six miles west of
Peronne. North of Maricourt the
Germans made vicious counter at
tacks this evening and the British
had to give up some of the ground
they had gained during the day. The
greatest British advance of the day
vas made south of the scrape.

offered bullets and shells when they
were needed.

Let Us Do Justice at Home.

Protestation of devotion to the principles Of
democracy, pure and unde6led have been on
the lips of Americans for many days. We have
with great energy and considerable unanimity
given ourselves over to the work of overturning
autocracy in Europe, unhorsing feudal despots
and lighting the lamps for Freedom in countries
where it has never been known or long since
was forgotten. Having done that to our present
content, let US turn to affairs at home and see
what we may do for human liberty in our own
land. In sixteen states of the union three
ffths OF the population is denied the franchise
granted by the federal constitution. If this
wholesale disfraichisement of citizenship af-
fected only those states, the condition might be
tolerated. But it does not. Representatives
chosen from those states control the present
congress, have controlled in congress for eight
years, and have through this power exerted
their influence over all the rest OF the union
How long will the United States continue to
pose as the champion of equal rights for all
mankind, at the same time patiently abiding the
existence of the political oligarchy that thrives
because it dominates the south through the
democratic party and holds to power by the sup
preston of the vote of the majority Of the vot-
ers in these sixteen states?

Personnel of the Peace Party.

Mr.. Wilson has chosen>for his associates on
the peace delegation men whose experience will
be of service to him as sole Spokesman for the
country. OF Mr.. Lansngs qualifications The
Bee has expressed opinion on several occasions.
His ability as student and an expounder of in
ternational law is unquestioned. Mr.. White, the
republican selected to accompany the president,
spent many years in the diplomatic service of
his country in. Europe, and so should be per-
sonally familiar with the history as we'll as the
forms of procedure. He will doubtless have the
advantage that comes with personal acquaint-
ance and knowledge Of the European members
of the conference. Colonel House was inevita-
bic, while General Bliss and Admiral Benson
will competently represent the army and navy
in advisory capacity.
The interesting fact is that of the group the
president alone has a commission from the
American people. He only can appear as voic-
ing the aspirations and ideals of the nation.
The others will serve in ministerial capacity
only, for not one of them has the knowledge
or sympathy born of contact with the public
Mr. Wilson will be we'll supported in his his
torcal and legal needs, but will rely, as usual,
on himself for the Interpretation of Americas
international attitude and to impress on Europe
the views of the United States.

Developing Music in Omaha.

Cultural development is properly measured
by attention given to the things that evince re-
fnement in social life. Accepting this as true,
it is equally true that anything that aids in es-
tablishing the result so expressed is OF service
to the degree of its activity. This brings into
view two local agencies for the preservation OF
public interest in music in Omaha, the Tuesday
Musical club and the Music Department of the
Omaha Woman's club Each of these has had
long existence, and each has mos cstly played
its part in the community life. Through the
stimulation of interest of their members they
are making possible the regular and orderly
presentation Of delectable programs of music
for the public. The one gives its support to the
bringing hither of talent from abroad, the other
to fostering resident professionals by presenting
them in concert or recital. Through the COM
bination is made possible opportunity to enjoy
not only what is good, but frequently what is
best, in music. And as this art fills continu-
ally expanding part in the life of the nation, it
is good that Omaha is thus provided with means
for keeping in line with the growth thus indi-
Gated

IDEALS AND PRACTICAL REALITIES.

"Fne words butter no parsnips," at peace
councils or elsewhere, We may as we'll accus-
tom ourselves to the prospect of the Entente
Allies seeking to retain as much Of material adj
vantage as they may secure from the settlement
to be arrived at when the great conclave gath
ers at Versailles. And this does not necessarily
imply that either of them is ready to abandon
any of the high ideals embodied in the fourteen
points laid down by our president. When it
comes to giving those distractions vitality and
transmitting them into active principles, differ
ence of opinion may be expected. Equally we
may look forward to seeing the Allies standing
together until the treaty is formulated just as
they stood for four years against Germany.
Notice already has been served of reluctance on
part Of Great Britain to sacrifice any national
interest which may properly be conserved with
out menacing the peace of the world, and it may
be accepted that France, Italy, Portugal and
Belgium are in like mind. This is not in dero-
CATION of the United States, simply mild way
of letting us know we will be but one of the
contracting parties and not the whole show at
the peace table.

Which Is the Voice of Wilson,

The question of retaining or turning back to
their owners the railroads, whose operation the
government has taken over for war purposes,
looms on the horizon. What will be the stand
of the president on this great issue7 Where
should we seek for light if not from the organs
of public opinion that have been claiming to be
the chief supporters of the Wilson program and
the vociferous echoes of the democratic Help
Wilson-win- the-war cry?
Here is what the local democratic newspaper
says, supposedly rejecting the personal views
Of our democratic United States senator:
Failure of government ownership to i'm
prove conditions markedly either as to rail-
roads or telephones or telegraph, have some
what quoted agitation for public ownership.
And here is what the other local Wilson
worshipping sheet puts out:
Everybody will hear tremendous protest
and warnings against McAdoo's proposal to
retain government control of the railroads of
the United States. The uproar will come
from interested people who do not want to let
go of good thing from which they have been
separated and from perfectly honest folk who
constitutionally are nervous about any change
from the established state of affairs.
Is it possible government operation of the
railroads can be at one and the same time both
a failure and success?
Which is the voice of Wilson?
