SUB ACTIVITIES
not SERIOUS,
SAYS WE|hlYSS VI
Work on Atlantic Coast to
Frighten Americans, says
Englishrnan.

London. June 15.-(By the ,Asso-
ciated Press).-German submarine
activity of the Atlantic. coast Of the
United States should not be taken
very seriously, as the Germans prob
ably will not attempt blockade Of
the American shores. This is the
opinion Of Vice Admiral Sir Rosslyn
Wemyss. first sea lord of the British
admiralty. The admiral believes
that there Is only one submarine op-
Grating of the American coast, and
that the purpose Of its trip across the
Atlantic was to frighten the Amer
leans.
This submarine business will not
have any effect on transport move
ment. which. Judged from the stand
point of seaman. has no parallel in
history" said the vice admiral. "A
year ago the enemy was boasting that
his submarines would prevent Amer
lean, troops being moved to Europe.
do not know whether that statement
was ever believed in Germany or
whether 1t was merely put about in
the belief that it would make the
Americans nervous. but whichever 1t
was, neither the threats nor the per-
formances Of the U-boats have affect
ed the movement"
mat Is very remarkable TACT,
which, judging by the German news
papers Is producing great impress
! sion in Germany. Not so long ago
the falling of in sinkings of tonnage
was explained by the enemy as being
due to the fact that there were few
ships to attack.
And now in the face Of that state
ment American troops are coming
| across the Atlantic week by week by
tens Of thousands and moving up to
the firing line. At the same time war
supplies in great variety are being
brought across the Atlantic with COM
paratively small losses and the. food
situation In the British Isles is actu-
ally more satisfactory today than IL
was a year ago.
Those results have been achieved
by adherence to the only sound
strategic principle-concentration OF
effort"

Too Strong for. Huns.

London, June 15.-American SOL
diers are more than match for the
Germans. In the opinion of Reuters
correspondent with the American
forces in France who has been with
the Americans for the past month.
Whenever the Germans meet the
Americans he says, the Germans
have been beaten.
Ny Impression" he adds, "is that
the Germans will find in their new
foes men more resemb bling our do
mtnions' soldiers than the home
born Tommy. They are full of ten
derness as the German wounded al
ready have had cause to know. But
they will not have mercy on men
who do not fight straight and will
avenge comrades slain by treachery
to the utmost platoon"
Remarking how quickly the Amer
leans are learning by experience, the
correspondent continues:
There Is plainly much to be ex-
pected from the American army only
and 1t must be said with insistence
We, want q lot Of them. Secretary
Baker promised a million soon. That

ABSURD PEACE PROPOSALS.

To get the correct perspective on the peace
note from the Aus,ro Hungarian government it
is necessary to recall but two events. First the
July, 1915 second, the violation Of Belgian neu-
trality by Germany in August OF the same year.
Having deliberately planned the war, started 1t
at their own convenience and failed utterly in
all they set out to accomplish, the Teutonic
powers now seek peace that will leave them
free to prepare for another attempt to subjugate
the world.
When you read in the note that through an
informal discussion streams OF pent-up human
kindness would be released" keep in mind that
these present suppliants first released the terror,
streams Of liquid FIRE, waves OF poison gas, sub
marine sinkings, bombing OF hospitals, Smelling
OF peaceable and undefended hamlets, the MUIR
der Of civilians, rape, arson and the most hide
Gus crueties that stain civilizations records.
Now they come, holding out hands dripping
with innocent blood, asking that they be given
opportunity to make terms for themselves!
The hypocritical whine from Vienna is we'll
supported by the mpudent offer of Berlin to Bel
gium That Belgium shall remain neutral until
the end of the war" comes with wonderful grace
from the government that declared to be only
"a scrap Of paper" treaty guaranteeing the
neutrality of Belgium!
Utter defeat now awaits the Teutonic pow
ers. The force they invoked is to overwhelm
them When their power to resist has been de-
stroyed, then will peace be restored on condi.
tons they will be required to accept and OF a
nature that will protect the world from them
forever.

Lenine Completes His Bargain.

Announcement that Nicolai Lenine is ar
ranging for an alliance" between the bolshevki
and the German imperial government will as
tonish none. 1t is the closing act of the colos-
sal farce that has been played in the name of
freedom in Russia. Twenty years OF war waged
even on the scale we have become accustomed
to would not have wrought the complete de-
morazation brought about in Russia by few
months of bolshevism. Disorder can go no
further.
Having accomplished all within his power,
and possibly having exceeded the expectations
OF his employer, Lenine now advises the people
OF Russia that he finds an alliance with the i'm
peralsts Of Germany necessary to make sure
of freedom for the proletariat Only through
Germany can Russia be protected from the en-
battled democracies of the world, seeking to
overturn military autocracy.
The shamelessness of the exposed conspir-
acy would be shocking under normal condi-
tons. As it is it affords but another sign Of
the all-embracing dream of the kaiser. He
gladly will exchange Persia for Russia. The
Berln-t o-Bagdad railroad is paything COM
pared to the Observation-Disclosures line he can
see stretching away in the future. Mesopo-
tamia is poor alongside Siberia And this is
what Lenine intends to hand him in the name
Of liberty for the massesl
Russia will be made safe for Russians, and
the German scheme will end in failure, just as
have the other plans for world conquest But
as soon as people have time to stop and rest a
minute they will find huge cause for laughter
in the bolshevili maneuverings.

Regard the Needy at Home.

The general impulse to respond with un-
stinted liberalIty to calls for relief from dest-
tute and suffering abroad is SO commendable
that no word will be said to check it. However,
the Associated Charities calls attention to the
unpleasant truth that we have at home some
who also need help. One Of the results OF CIV
ing so generously to Belgium and elsewhere
has been to so lower the stock OF castoff cloth
ing and the like that none is left for those who
turn to the local charitable organization for
help. 1t is we'll enough to say that we should
have with us no destitute in these times OF high
wages and plentitude of employment. The sad
truth is that the poor ye have always with
you" and some will feel the pinch of want, no
matter how the great majority prospers. There
fore. in arranging for your gifts to the needy,
keep it in mind that some in Omaha will need
help this winter, and plan to give it to them.

Power Greater Than Laav
New York Times

Nothing could better illustrate the power of
public sentiment when it closely approaches
unarimity than did the almost complete absence
on Sunday OF automobiles from all the city

sumably. it was the same throughout the cour-
try east of the Mississippi. And this truly re.
marka5le abandonment of well-established

people have long derived one of their greatest

but by mere request of the government! 10
make the phenomenon the more impressive, the
request was issued through board the previous

instance showed itself so docile.
The explanation. of course is that the re-

per;ences on the road, however, were such as
to convince even the dullest-witted and thickest-
skinned that pleasure riding on Sunday when
intelligent and decent folk had united to save
gasoline was about as unp!easing as riding could

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali, VIII. CHI
is very inju: ious, as it dries the
scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for it is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, about a tea
spoonful is all that is required. 1t

Murder as a Preliminary to Cancellation.

1t is noteworthy that the Austrian plea for
consultation and the German offer OF peace"
to Belgium were accompanied by the sinking OF
a passenger steamer, and the consequent MUIR
der of women and children. The German mind
still is working along its peculiar course.
Slaughter Of nnocents is justified because mer-
chant vessels persist in plying the ocean. II
these dead ones had followed the kaiser's die
tum they would be safe at home-until such
time as one Of his land battaons Of murder
might reach them. However, these points have
all been discussed before. In the minds of CIV
lized and well disposed persons only one
thought exists, and that is to render poweress
the insane directors of the German military ma
chine, and so make the world a safe place in
which to live. The loss OF the Galway Castle,
sunk without warning. added another $50 to the
victims of the terror, but nothing to the pros
poets for peace by Cancellation.
