Spring Lake Parks Spring.

Omaha, Sept. Ito the Editor
of The Bee: I saw the statement
of Mr.. Thomas Falconer, city COM
missioner, in regard to preserving
the spring in Elmwood park. He
has kept Spring Lake park in fine
shape this year; in fact, l think in
finer shape than at any time in the
past.
But the big spring in the park
ought to be fixed so that people
could get water from it. 1t has cut
under the cement work that was
not put in properly in the first place,
and all the water goes to waste.
There are several springs in the
park, but only one of the smallest
ones is in such shape that water can
be obtained, and it is the finest water
in this part of the country.
Hundreds Of people use the water
and hundreds more would use 1t if
it was in such shape that it could be
easily obtained. l do not drink any
other water, and get it the year
round, and have done that for more
than five years right along, and 7
never get sick. I hope that some
way will be found to fix up the big
spring at least.
Permission ought to be given in
November for the determination of

Important Medical D1scoveru

Commonly new discoveries for the treatment
OF surgical cases accepted with caution and
reservation by surgeons, though often hailed as
panaceas by writers of sensational news. To
what degree the world will later have to dis
count the personal enthusiasm of Surg. Maj
James T. Pitcher as to ''quino-formaf' for gas
gangrene we cannot tell. But the announcement
to the Red Cross Research society in Paris
comes from a sincere man. doctor, who by
heredty as we'll as by training is predisposed
to the avoiding of overconhdence.
1t appears that the discovery was made in
hospital at Auteuil. The preparation is de-
scrbed as consisting of quinine, acetic and
hydrochloric acids, formalne and thymol. 1t is
stated that treatment of gas gangrene has been
revolutionized that the new wound dressing
has failed in only one OF large number of
cases in which it was tried, and that for six
weeks there have been no amputations at all at
Auteuil.
A son of DR., Lewis S. Pitcher, whose work
on wound treatment was published in 1883 and
whose Textbook of Surgery" published in 1900
is still very valuable, Surgeon Major Pitcher
lives at l45 Gates avenue, the old family home
and his Office is at III Gates avenue. He is only
keeping up the line of work his father began
only continuing researches which the father and
son prosecuted together. His discovery ought
to be exceedingly important for service in all
the military hospitals, and even for first treat
ment of the wounded, for its benefits do not de-
pend on any elaborate hospital equipment, nor
is its expense in any way prohibitive. And that
is an element in the value of every such dis
covery.-Brookyn Eagle.

The Fourth Liberty Loan.

The most imperative duty in connection with
war, next to actual fighting, is to properly sup
port the fighters. Unless we are behind our
soldier boys with all our strength, their pres
ence in Europe becomes futile. This thought
must be uppermost in connection with the drive
for the fourth big Liberty loan, soon to start
Americans over there are doing their share;
their splendid victory at ST. Mihiel and their
part in the trumphs for the Allies cause, were
won through subscriptions to Liberty bonds and
other means Of raising money to pay expenses
Their task is to continue the fighting until au-
tocratic despotism is put down; Our task is to
see that they never want for anything that is
needed to make victory sure. Expansion of the
war program has brought along with it in
creased estimates of cost. Money is needed in
sums hitherto undreamed of. Six billions of
dollars is tentatively fixed as the amount to be
foated for the fourth loan. That it will be
big job is acknowledged by all, but that it must
be accomplished is equally admitted We have
pledged every man and every dollar. Every
man from l8 to As is now under orders, either
in the field, in training or awaiting the call
And every dollar must be as ready to respond

One People, One Country, One Purpose.

The world never saw people more thor
oughly unified than America is at present. This
is shown by the unanimity with which approval
is given to the presidents answer to the Aus
trian peace feeler. Contrary to the expectation
said to have existed in official quarters, that the
proposal might receive such discussion by the
press as would dignity if not really give it inn
portance, the newspapers of the country an
ticpated any action of the government and with
one voice denounced the request for conference
as sham. In congress leaders OF both parties
took similar views, and from every source come
expressions that indicate how thoroughly Amer
leans are welded together by the will to WIN
All other differences are sunk in the one great
reservoir of patriotism. Whatever of activity
is set on foot, it must be measured by its rela-
ton to the war, and stand or fall as it is helpful
or hindrance to victory. We are one people,
with one country, and have one great purpose
to crush military autocracy and establish free
dom throughout the world

M'KELvIE AND THE BOSSES.

The fierce attacks being made on S. r. Nc
Kelvie, republican candidate for governor, are
now explained by his own utterances. He has
had the temerity to attack Bosses Mullen and
Gooch and to pledge himself that when
elected he will reorganize the State Council of
Defense so that it will not be dominated by the
democratic high cockaorums.
For this he is daily subjected to lombard
ment from the mud batteries of the Omaha
Hyphenated, which must give all its efforts to
support OF Hitchcock, Mullen & Co. Mr.. Nc
Kelvie has frankly stated his interest in the
work of the State Council of Defense, his ap-
probation of its importance and his intention
to do everything he can to assist in carrying out
its legitimate and beneficial purposes.
But he has been equally frank in denouncing
its political operation and crticizing its control
by the democratic bosses, and for this he is SUBJ
jected to scurrty and Misrepresentation The
situation is going to be fully explained to the
people, and they will be given an opportunity
to determine whether the whole course of the
State Council of Defense. as it has been directed
by Gooch and Mullen, is to be approved at the
polls.
McKelvie holds that the war is not par
tisan affair; his assailants have persistently
sought to obtain political advantage through
the patriotism of the people. That is the issue,
fairly and squarely stated.

A Clean Cut Job

Pershing's victory between the Mouse and
the Mosele astounds one by what art criticism
would call its classic purity. Clean-cut. simple,
rapid, complete, the only parallel that occurs to
our conquest of the St. Mihiel salient is Nj
yelles stroke of two years ago at Douaumont,
with its one-day harvest of 10000 prisoners, and
tie problem at St. Mihie was a much more
complicated one The American assault from
the south moved with uniform precision. There
was nothing of the awkward delays at isolated
points which have so often added to the costli-
ness of an offensive. Along every road from
the line of departure towards the heart OF the
herman positions the schedule held One hum
bred and fifty square miles of enemy territory
we're shipped off at clip. In other words, the
leadership was perfect; the one factor upon which
apprehension was legitimate has been eliml-
nated. "You went to the battle as to feast"
said Mangin to his American comrades IN
thanking them for their services in the second
battle of the Marine. That Americans would go

granted from the first That this same ardent

Dimensions of the American Army.

Four million eight hundred thousand men
under arms is the present scope of plans for the
American army. This is to be accomplished
by June of next year, according to announce
ment from the office of General March. Three
million two hundred thousand of these already
are in the service, and 100000 are in France.
Dispatch at the present rate of 100000 month
is to be maintained indefinitely, to the end that
spring will find not less than 100000 effective
American soldiers on European soil Here is
a military program of such dimensions as to
astonsh even the kaiser. who boosted so long
and so loudly of his establishment. Germany
was forty years in getting ready, but America
will do this much in twenty-four months These
men are to be equipped and supplied with the
latest and best of all things needed by an army,
that they may speedily carry out the mission on
which they were sent. The strength of the re-
public is marching to redeem its promise to
humanity.
