German Propaganda at Home.

Expressions accredited to the Cologne Zeitung
are of character to support the belief that the
German government still is deliberately seeking
TO deceive its subjects. This paper is said to
have published an article dealing with the Amer
ican participation in the war, showing by analysis
and computation the inability of this country to
land 100000 men a month in France. One bit
of truth is discovered in the conclusions of the
Zeitung, and that is that the full strength of the
United States will not be called into action be-
fore 1919. However, the rest of its calculations
are of the same sort as those which told the
German people that the U-boat would shut Eng
land off from the world and starve the British
into submission in three months. II is incon-
ceivable that the German general staff is not
aware of the presence of America on the battle
line in such force as to turn the balance of war
against the Hun; the kaiser and his cabinet and
his generals know the truth, but will not let it
come to the knowledge of the people, who are
headed for terrible awakening.
Omaha daily bee., 1918-08-24
IntroducinQ General LiQQett

Relatively few Americans ever heard OF
General Hunter Liggett, or remembered ever
hearing of him, until his name suddenly
loomed big in the news few days ago as
the commander of our first army corps or
ganized in France--a force of six divisions,
or about 100000 men. The army knows
General Liggett, if the public does not, and
with its great respect for him it has the
phrase, "Liggett luck"-not to belittle his
achievements, but to indicate faith that he
will always "get there" in the future as in
the past. When he was Major Lggett he
was in command of a battalion that leaky
old transport carried, or tried to carry, to the
Philippines. When the ship was all but sink
ing help reached it and saved those on
board.
An eyewitness tells how the soldiers,
waist deep in the water of the hold, were
pumping and bailing for dear life, and right
aid as we'll as direction, stood tall, power
full man, with the jaw of swapping turtle
and the obvious disposition of one who would
not unduly hurry if he was about to catch
the last train for heaven" That officer was
Majcr Liggett, and he won promotion for
his work in the next two years among the
Moros. Then he played the game of war at
the war college in Washington, and became
the president OF that misunderstanding be-
hind the scenes, but doing work that counts
much now. In 1913 the country had a
glimpse Of him while he had charge of the
camp of the veterans of north and south at
Gettysburg-a most favorable glimpse.
A little later he took charge of things on
the Texas border, when Admiral Fletcher
went to Vera Cruz, and from there to San
Francisco, at the head of the Western de-
partment. He was brigadier general when
the call to France came, the call that has now
made him rank next to General Pershing
there. General Liggett is Pennsylvania,
West Pointer, in the class of 79, and is 81
years old. He is described by an army asso-
ciate as "a soldier of the type found in the
fiction of knighthood days, gentle and with
rare graces, and yet one of the toughest
propositions in the field that the country has
ever known "-Rnstnn Herald

Weakness in Primary Law.

Elba, Neb., Aug. 22-To the Editor
of The Bee: The recent primary cleo
ton illustrates the necessity for an
amendment of the primary law, and
the next legislature should give it at
tention.
Upon the issue of the selection of a
United states senator by the repub-
hcan party one issue was paramount
That issue was whether or not the
record of George w. Norris should be
endured. His record was condemned
by more than two-thirds of the re-
publican party, but owing to the un-
fortunate division of votes he was
nominated as a hopeless minority
candidate. In this community every
pro-German vote was cast for him.
Many democrats left their party evil
IDENTIFY to vote for Norris. The votes
in such counties as Hall and Merrick
show that this was quite general. With
this solid vote he secured an endorse
ment Of less than one-third of the
party.
The law should be amended SO that
no person could become the nominee
unless he received a majority of the
votes cast on that Office. In case of
a failure so to do, another primary
should be held with the minority can
didates eliminated. In this manner a.
condition such as confronts us now
would not exist. A man whose record
has been condemned by more than
two-thirds Of his party would not be
selected as the candidate of the party

THE NOMINATION OF NORRIS.

While the returns of the primary election are
still incomplete, it is plain that George w. Norris
has received the republican nomination for
United States senator in spite of his discreditable
war record.
People must not be permitted to gain the i'm
preston, however, from the mere fact of Senator
Norris denomination that the republicans of Ne
braska have voted an endorsement of his decara-
tion that by the entrance of the United States
into the war for humanity we put the dollar mark
upon the American fag
The nomination of Norris is minority nomi-
nation, nomination by about IS per cent of the
number of votes cast; nomination secured only
through division of the opposition between
several candidates; a nomination due wholly to
the limitations of the primary. On the face of
the figures Norris would have been ANONYMOUSLY
defeated had he had one competitor instead of
four; had the nomination been made by conven-
ton in which the patriotic win-the-war delegates
could have had an opportunity to unite, or even
had it been by primary which permitted sec
ond choice expression, for he would have been
first choice of scarcely third and second choice
of none.
The nomination of Norris, in our opinion most
unfortunate, leaves the republicans confronted
with condition rather than theory which they
will have to meet as best they may. The fact
that he has place upon an otherwise exception
ally good ticket promises complications whose
seriousness will depend upon the alternatives
that may be presented

Thrills of Artillery Fiers
Unsung Heroes Who Direct Big Guns to the Right Spot
E. T. Brondson in Popular Mechanics.

Every war story has its air ace or aces,
every reader knows the names and achieve
ments of his heroes, and can tell tales of
their accomplishments that make the jousts
of Arthur's knights pale in comparison.
There is no wish in any quarter to detract
from the glory of the aces. May some greater
Mallory or Tennyson chronicle their exploits
in full word color! The regrettable part con-
nected with giving the aces their full due is
that their spectacular splendor obscures our
judgment in respect to other branches of the
service-branches in which death is even less
easily baked though there is nothing what
ever of grandstand nature in the work.

Who Will Lead in Russiae

Declaration of war on the United States by
the bolshevik lacks some of the impressveness
it might have held few weeks ago. Events
have so moved in that realm of disorder that no
longer does the Lenine-Trotzky element by
whatever of its several names it may be pre-
sented, carry any real weight Even the Ger
mans have discarded the soviet, the workman's
council, the general assembly and similar groups
as agencies for carrying out the kaser's WILL and
are acting for themselves, This fact was made
plain to the Allies and with the additional need
OF some definite center for directing the activities
of the forces of order, the landings at Vladvostok
and on the Murman coast was made Resistance
is offered by the RED Guard" a body of mercen-
aries in bolshevik pay, who have seryed to ter
rorze Russians rather than to secure their free
dom. That is the situation today
Before the undertaking of the relief expeditions
can be made effective leadership must be estab-
lished among the Russians themselves. 1t is GER
tain that none who were at the head of the rev.
olution can meet this: Mlukof and his asso-
ciates Kerensky and his comrades, and Lenine
and Trotzky and their crew have been self-elim
mated, The individuals or group around whose
personality the new Russia is to be built have
not yet appeared.
Somewhere among the "intelligentzia" are
men of learning, experience, sound judgment and
patriotism, to whom the people can turn in con-
fidence and on whom the Allies can rely. These
will be heard from when it becomes known that
the terror" has passed and that Russia's fight
for very existence is to be supported from with
out by the great democraces of the world
Treachery cannot always prevail, and the man
who will revive life in Russia will soon appear
Omaha friends Of Majo General Grote Hutch
eson know that mighty good officer and gen.
tleman has won promotion.

Commander-in-C Chief Adams.

For the third time Omaha has been honored
by the Grand Army OF the Republic selecting one
of its citizens to be commander chief That
this distinction is appreciated will not be doubted.
Nebraska has largely been built up by soldiers
who marched under Old Glory from '6l to '65,
and many who took service since then have found
here homes in which they have done we'll as the
years passed by.
Most of the soldiers who came to the state
in its infancy were the young and vigorous, the
alert and enterprisng, whose characters had been
developed under the disciplinary schooling of
hard service in the army. These have provided
solid nucleus for the citizenship of the state,
and from them we have drawn governors, sena-
tors, congressman and other public servants,
while their influence in their own great organza-
ton has always been felt.
Captain c. E. Adams, now commander-in-chief
Of the Grand Army, is one of these men. His
loyalty and devotion to his country was estab-
lished when he enlisted at the age of II, and his
education under "Pap" Thomas, from Chcka-
mauga to Savannah was thorough and complete
He won his commission as captain on the field,
and the honors that have come to him in his after
life have been deserved
The Bee congratulates the Grand Army on its
choice, and for the members in Nebraska VEN
lures to express their great qualification that a
well-loved comrade should be so signally honored
by the national body

Sidelights on the War

The parts Of a biplane total 10000,
while in hydroplane there are over
$4,000.
The United States Is estimated to
have spent over $150,000.000 in the
rehabilitation Of the French railways.
The present shortage in paper is
not without parallel In history. Ac-
cording to historians, at was decreed
in the reign of Tiberius, because of
the scarcity of papyrus. a commission
of senators should be appointed to
control its distribution, otherwise all
civilized life was in disorder"
Before the Franco Prussian war the
town of Mulhausen, in Alsace, pos
sessed remarkable statue Of the EN-
peror Napoleon, and such were the
popular demonstrations in front Of
this memorial that the Germans or
dered its removal. 1t was relegated,
therefore, to an obscure courtyard
and forgotte1 until a few years ago,
when a patriot rescued 1t and had it
renovated and erected in his own
grounds, pending the day when it
should be restored to its original site
"Nicknames are not manufactured"
says Stars and Stripes, published by
the American forces in France.
When they are the nick doesn't
stick. Ten thousand OF the worlds
greatest thinkers working 10 hours
a day for 10 years couldn't plaster a
nickname on the American army that
would stick 10 minutes. For the
American army has already received
its nickname over here that nothing
can shake loose. That nickname is
Yanks. Nothing more, nothing less.
