NARROWING DOWN THE WAR.

General March says we have but one nation
confronting JUS in the field now. In general
terms, this is true, for, while Austria has not
has progressed to a point where its military
strength is sadly weakened. That Austria soon
must follow Bulgaria and Turkey is very plain.
And that the German domestic situation is seri-
ously affected by the falling away of the kais-
ers vassal allies is also manifest. This naturally
and reducing its capacity for resistance. The
war really has narrowed down to point where
the Allies have only Germany to deal with.
That the advance through Belgium and
northern France has slowed up is due to
whether conditions quite as much as to sitter
resistance by the Germans. Four years have
shown how difficult it is to maneuver on mod
ern scale in that region during the early winter
months. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude
the kaiser is stalking his all on being able to
hold out until the bad weather has practically
called halt on major operations. This will
give him some opportunity to reform his armies
for defense on German territory to allay the
disturbances at home and to jockey for better
terms with his conquerors.
Should he be able to stave off the inevitable
until another spring comes, he will find victori-
Gus armies approaching Germany from the east
as we'll as from the west. The end is as GER
tain as that time will continue. A few days, a
few weeks or few months, and the victory
that now is ours will be made absolute Kais-
erism is doomed.

Americanization of Foreign Born Citizens.

On Tuesday Nebraska voters will determine
one of the first steps in the problem of Ameri-
canizing foreign-born citizens. An amendment
to the state constitution which will prevent
first paper voting is submitted to the cleo
torate, and the patriotic societies and other
agencies have interested themselves in its pas
sage If it becomes part of the fundamental
law, the alien-born must become fully natural
lied citizen before he can vote. The just.c, of
this is plain. But it entails something in the
way of duty on the native citizen.
The advantages and responsibilities of citi-
zenship must be better understood, not only by
those who were born abroad, but by many who
are native to the land Education along these
lines should not be exclusively applied to the
alien. In teaching him, however, more than
mere language lessons will be required He
should be brought to realize the benefits he
will derive from working knowledge of the
language, to appreciate the fundamentals of our
governmental system, and to know that citizen
ship is worthily bestowed only where it is fully
appreciated. Considerable modification of in
dustral and social practices will be needed to
bring this about but America can be made a
real melting pot if the work is taken up with
sincerity.
Omaha is soon to reopen the night schools
that have so long been feature of the local
educational plan. Special instruction in lam
guage only will be provided for those who desire
merely to study English. The general subject
of Americanization is in the hands of COM
mittee that appreciates what is involved, and
which, we hope, will have support from those
whose patriotism has finally aroused them to the
importance of long neglected task

They may let the war go on to a

SOLDIERS.

The boys Of rs and the lads of 81
Were handy with the bayonet the sahre
and the gun;
They hurried to the muster.
And they didn't brag or buster
When they rode with Lee or Custer
Or they marched with Washington.
They were made Of proper stuff
When they wore the blue and buff.
And were ready. ever ready for the game:
They were brisk and ready, too,
When they wore the gray and blue.
AND our soldier boys in khaki are the
same.
The boys Of '7s and the lads Of 81
Were cheerful in the blizzard and were
happy in the sun:
All soldierly and willing
In their marching and their drilling
II their rations weren't filling
They could still be full Of fun.
They were straight as mountain pine
In the Continental Line,
And they took the luck Of battle as II
came.
They were hardy as can be
In the ranks OF Grant and Lee,
And our soldier boys In khaki are the
same.
The boys Of rs and the lads Of 81
Were always keen for fighting and were
bound to yield to none.
Their cannon might be mired,
But they dragged them out untired,
And they loaded, aimed and fired
Till the work to do was dore.
They were made Of proper stuff
When they wore the blue and buff.
And were ready. ever ready for the game
They were brisk and ready. too,
When they wore the army blue
And our soldier boys In khaki are the
same.
