For Orpheum coming to the Or

Education in Siberia.

Russian politics have filled the public eye and
bafed imagination for so long that it is refresh
ing to be asked to view any section of that mud
died and befuddled country from which a glim-
mer of reason shines Singularly enough 1t is
from Siberia, that hinterland of the empire, the
limbo to which offenders were banished, con-
demned to living death, that now gives sign
of encouragement. The American consul at
Vladivostok transmits to Washington, under date
of July g. letter from the Culture Educational
union of the Altai district, with headquarters at
Barnaul, Siberia According to this letter, the
union, which is concerned with the "outside-of-
school" education of the people, wishes to obtain
portable cinematographs, and scientific popular
films for use of the cooperative unions of
Tomsk, Semipalatinsk, Yenisei, Irkutsk and
Transbaikal provinces. Most interesting is the
information that the union expects to purchase
not only the machines but the films. 1t is also
establishing a museum for the exhibition OF the
products of the several provinces named. 1t is
not surprising that such spirit should exist in
Siberia, for thither went under guard most of the
truly cultured and thoroughly educated OF the
cars subjects He did not know it, but in the
rastnesses of the great wastes of Siberia he was
sowing seed that now exhibits fruitage to which
1T is pleasant to turn after witnessing the gyra-
tions Of the crew the Romanoifs were content to
rule in Holy Russia. Siberia will yet be the
salvation of the bolsheviki.

The FGmaly 5n the War

The Industrial Conference Board issues
an estimate, based upon inquiries in 10000
families in various parts of the country, oi
the increase in the cost of living from July
1914, to mid-June, 1918, as from so to S. pei
cent. The percentages of increase are:
Food, 62; rent. is; clothing, II; fuel and
light, As; sundries, So
The cost of fuel and light is most easily
borne, being but per cent of the family
budget. Rent. though it is but Is to 18 per
cent OF the budget, is the fighting item, since
It is paid monthly in round sums and the JUS
tice of the advance is questioned. Various
checks are proposed, among them that Of
Representative Crosser of Ohio, to tax at
100 per cent all rental increases above S per
cent.
The allowance for clothing is smaller than
for rent, IS per cent. The relative advance
in prices is here the greatest, but here also
the average family is most inclined to cut
expenditures. Food constitutes 43 per cent
of the budget, and food the family must have
to retain its health and efficiency.
Through studies such as these the cost of
the war behind the lines can be best appre-
ciated. The people who with little complaint
bear this heavy burden yet spare out of their
need hundreds of millions for war activities
and billions for the bonds that finance the
struggle have no war, correspondents to
chronicle their efforts; but they also are "in
the war."-New York World

RAILWAY MOTIVE POWER.

That the railroads of the United States had
not stagnated under private ownership is shown
by comparison of the motive power between
1900 and 1915. In the year first named, the rail-
roads of the United States had in service $500
locomotives of all kinds. The average tractive
effort of the Simple" or single expansion engine
of which type $4,000 were in use, was but 1900
pounds; the heaviest type then known of which
900 were in service, had tractive effort OF
$4,000 pounds
In 1905 the number OF locomotives used had
mounted to sl650, OF which 48,94o were of the
simple type, but their efficiency had increased to
an average of $4,000 pounds tractive effort. This
year is noteworthy as seeing the first of the
Mallet compound engines in service. Its power
is represented by $4,000 pounds tractive effort.
In 1910 the total number had gone up to $4,000,
with an average tractive effort for s6,525 simple
engines of $4,000 pounds. This year 200 Mallets
were in service. with average power of 1900
pounds. In 1915 the railroads were employing
64750 locomotives, $1,000 being of the simple
type, averaging tractive effort OF 80 500 pounds,
while 800 Mallets with an average power of
10000 pounds we're doing duty
In 1900 the average weight on drivers of the
simple engine was $4,000 pounds; in 1915 it had
grown to $4,000 pounds. In 1905 one locomo-
tive was equipped with a superheater to increase
its power; in 1910 the roads had 5000 oil-burners
and 800 with superheaters; in 1915 there were
4250 oil burners and $4,000 with superheaters
, These figures ought to do away with the
charge that the railroads had not made any effort
to keen nm with the demands of TRANSFORMATION
1t may be of interest, also, to state here that the
present annual total capacity for producing loco
motives in the United States is about 1000, and
that the government is asking for 10000 for the
current year.

The Bean and the Armu

The profound, intangible psychological
change that has been coming over the coun-
try in these latter days now finds itself typi-
fed and symbolized by the. unexplained re-
moval of the bean from the army ration in
France. Little has been said about it, no ex-
planation is vouchsafed in Washington-and
the shocked silence along the shores OF Mas
sachusetts bay is so tense as to be almost
audible.
There are dietitians who condemn the
bean as unit for human food, but they have
not been seriously regarded heretofore The
bean has even been called "the army beam"
The civil war was said to have been won on
it, Yet the health indictment of the dieti-
tans (not from Boston) speaks of the bean
as Enclosed in double-wailed sacs nsoluble
in the digestive fluids" Some of the uti-
mate products OF digestion in the case of the
bean are described as "carbonic acid gas, al
cohol, vinegar and yeast vegetation" all of
which are agents to feed psychological
states"
Is there hint here of the Boston state of
mind? It is hardly possible, for here are
alcohol" and vinegar" and surely the EN-
ersons, Thoreaus, Frank Sandborns, Judge
Hoars and Thomas w. Higginsons, never
drew their inspiration from such founts.
The scientific indictment somehow does
not ring true. After the censorship is re-
moved we may get nearer to the facts. FL
nancial reasons may have had their part in
the decision. There may be something which
we do not understand in the nature of diff
culties of transportation, or the shortness of
the bean crop. Judgment SHOULD be reserved
until the facts are ascertaned.
But of one thing we may be sure. If the
policy of discarding the bean holds till the
Rhine is passed and the end is reached, then
we shall have bean-hungry army on our
hands when the boys come back that will
make the first Saturday night in America
veritable orgy OF pork and" while the noise
from Boston, restored unto her own, will be
analogous to the fall of thousand Bastiles.

Strategy.

oudtCSSs
Omaha, Sept. 2.-To the Editor OF
The Bee: Lots Of people don't under
stand strategy. But it's the simplest
thing on earth. A big domineering
Hun with an insolent "get off the
earth" air is German strategy.
Fochs strategy is different. People
think Bundy was insubordinate on his
own hook. Now that Foch has passed
a thousand miles from danger, he
can not object to being shown up.
Foch wanted things to happen as
they did, but it took strategy to do it.
Bundy was bound to counter-attack
The Germans knew this even better
than Foch, but Foch wanted to ap-
pear asleep. What! "Our brave Ger
mans don't need guns. we only need
clubs" He'll. Foch will glut the wolves
with so much Hun carrion that they
will become as tame as tabby cats. II
Foch didn't write Bundy's letter him
self, Bundy knew pretty near what
Foch wanted him to write and also
what he wanted hm to do.
Now when the insignificant Hun
spies trip keen strategist like Foch
they can yell-not before. Talk about
Moltke, the poor fellow could learn
enough from Foch to attract atten-
tion.
We must learn to appreciate the
Huns for what they are worth. If
they were quoted on the market the
price would be so near zero that when
you look one Of them In the face you
can chew strong tobacco and spit
where you darn please.

Looking to Future Commerce.

American business interests are carrying on
with all Sincerity, so far present war activities
go, but are not neglectng, at least so far as dis
cusson is concerned, what may follow peace.
They are reminded that Germany is planning as
purposefully and as energeticaly as ever for
trade supremacy. The German government is
getting ready to re-establish as soon as possible
the external commerce of the empire, and some
analysts assert that much of its apparently mean
ingless destruction OF private property in terri
tory it has overrun, its sinking Of merchant YES
sells OF neutral countries and other acts that seem
wanton are really part Of its great scheme. 1t
is the creation of necessity which Germany hopes
to be in position to relieve.
This example is not lost on Americans, who
have been shaken out of their complacent atti-
tude toward the world. When the war is over
we will have the greatest commerce Carving
feet aaoat owned by the people. 1t must be oe-
cupied, and its only service will be carrying
American products to consumers around the
world. That is why, for example, the Philadel-
phia Chamber of Commerce emphasizes the
teaching Of commercial geography in our schools.
A better knowledge OF the world is needed, that
we may as nation compete in the open markets
Such plans need not run counter to any inter-
national agreements that will bind the allies in
postwar economic relations. They will only
serve to enable us to reasonably secure and hold
our fair share of the worlds business, something
we have never had
