War and Religious Unitg

A striking manifestation of the inclination
OF the leaders of men to forget all petty sec
tartan differences and make common cause for
good is the United War Work Campaign of
November II to 49, for which the Y. NJ c. A.,
the Y. w. c. A., the National Catholic War
Council of the Knights of Columbus, the Jewish
Welfare Board, the War Camp Community
Service, the American Library association and
the Salvation Army are joining forces. The
times of peace may have left leisure and room
for zealots to be scrupulous about lines Of de-
marcaton between denominations. The fires
of war have burned away the fence rails. The
landscape is cleared of many distractions. Many
things are plainly seen in clear, fresh sunlight
which has power to dispel even the acrid smoke
of battle
In the "odium theologcum" Of the days
when the world was not fighting for its life, and
hence men. had space to grow bitterly eloquent
over doctrlnal minutiae, there were foolish and
needless battles among the good. Now the
time has come for the latter untedly to make
their goodness valid against the serried forces
of evil rampant in the world-aganst the mon
strous and menacing shape of mlitarism and
against degeneracy and moral peryersion mas
queradng as culture.
The seven banded organizations whom this
coming campaign untes will emerge from their
corporate effort as members one of another"
having reached basis of understanding which
their future endeavor cannot ignore. They have
realized the strength of union, they have found
the real delight Of communal sympathetic &C
ton, they have successfully tested the efficacy
and economy of pooling their effort-and they
will not return to the old expensive variance
that wasted time and money and engendered
friction There is to be newly and truly a
United States in charity as in politics The
common denomnator has been discovered once
for always. War work is accomplishing what
decades of peace talk could not have attained

BIG JEFF'S" BIG VICTORY.

This Omaha district will be represented in
the next congress by Albert w. Jefferis, sue
cessfu republican nominee. The simple state
ment of the fact, however. does not convey the
full meaning of the victory.
Big Jeff's" majority over his democratic
opponent will be approximately 600. Con-
gresham Lobeck was reelected for his fourth
term two years ago by a majority of 1882 To
overcome such lead and defeat candidate
entrenched in power and Office and backed by
the personal endorsement of President Wilson
in addition to all the forces OF the democratic
machine obviously required a man with excep-
tional ability, popularity and strength.
If disposed to take seriously the fool edi-
torial put out by Senator Hitchcocks paper as
last desperate plea for Lobeck we might hail
the election of Jefferis wholly as feather in
the cap of The Bee and its editor. We are not
so vain-glorous and are content to reprint the
w. H. outburst on this page to let our readers
see what lengths the frenzed opposition went
to. The victory of Jefferis should, however,
teach the futility of a campaign of deliberate
lying and taking such as the democrats waged
To Mr.. Jeffers we offer congratulations
Congressman Lobeck respectful sympathy. Lo-
beck, we concede, has done the best he could,
but we know Jefferls can and will do better,
and the voters of this district plainly by their
verdict share the opinion.

Results in Douglas County.

Republicans must feel great qualification at
the election results in Douglas county, The
defeat of w. G. Shriver by mike" Endres for
the Office of treasurer is the only break in the
county ticket. Sheriff Clark has been returned
by handsome majority, testimonial of appre-
citation from the people, who honor him for the
faithful administration of his office under trying
conditions. Frank Dewey and Harry Pearce
were looked upon as certain winners from the
outset and while they are congratulated on
winning their return to office carries nothing
of surprise.
Abel Shotwelrs election to the important
Office of county attorney means reorganiza-
ton of the personnel as we'll as the practices
that have prevailed there for so long. Lou"
Adams was another who had been conceded
election, although the democrats did their ut
most to hamper him. His return assures the
taxpayers of faithful service in the office of
county engineer.
AS result of the disgraceful Encouragement
of the county commissioner districts the demo-
Gratis retain control of the county board.
A mixed delegation will be sent to the 1egis-
lature, although the republicans will predomi-
nate in both branches. Much satisfaction by
the voters in expressing their preference is re-
Aected in this. Altogether, the Douglas county
republicans have right to feel good over the
result

sentence in the note from Mr.. Lansing to
the Swiss minister, asking him to notify the
German government that the Entente Allies and
the United States have agreed as to terms on
which Germany may have an armistice chal-
lenges attention This is to the effect that
while England, France and Italy accept Presi-
dent Wilson's principles for peace, they hold
different views as to their Interpretation and
reserve the right to apply them to their own
satisfaction. Mr. Lansngs note does not say
so precisely, but the inference is plain that the
president assents to the views of the other gov
ernments.
Principally, the differences arise over free
dom of the seas and the. matter of indemnify
Some dispute was in progress between the gov
ernments of the United States and Great Britain
as to rules governing ocean commerce, arising
under the London convention, which was far
from accommodation when this country entered
the war. These points naturally will be pre-
scented to the peace council, although they may
be referred to later conference
Indemnity will present more difficult phase
of the general problem. One of the most OBJ
vious phases of this arises through the dssou-
ton of the responsible governments Of the CEN
trail empires. Austria already has gone to
pieces, and our president has recognized new
nations arising from the wreck 1t is possible
that Germany may also be resolved into its in
dependent states and new federation formed.
In such event the matter of apportioning the
damage will be delicate indeed
AS peace approaches details of its esablish-
ment become clearer, and necessity for wise
elaboration more imperative.

About Peace Treaties

AS a rule formal ratification Of
peace treaty is expected and neces-
sary to make 1t valid.
Peace treaties are usually written
by hand throughout. sealed with
many seals and bound with green
silk ribbon.
The rulers Of the signatory powers
don't affiX their signatures or seals
to peace treaties entered into by
them. This important formality Is
carried out by specially accredited
peace commissioners.
Each nation entering into a peace
agreement is bound by all of the
terms agreed upon by Its peace
commissioners, provided 1t cannot be
shown that such commissioners did
not expressly violate the instructions
given them.
The effect Of peace treaty Is to
put an end not only to war, but
also to all complaints relating to the
subject for which war was under
taken. A new war can be under
taken for similar causes Of COM
plant, but not for the same. The
peace is an oblivion or amnesty Of
all past ullllC ultieS.
Latin originally was the language
in which all peace treaties involving
Christian powers were written. Later
French was generally adopted as the
language for such agreements. but
nowadays / is customary for copies
of the treaty to be prepared In the
language Of each of the signatory
powers.
Each signatory power is given an
original copy Of the peace treaty. In
addition, it Is customary to make
and sign several copies Of the treaty
for convenience. The original cop
les are kept locked up in the arch
ives Of the different countries, while
the certified copies are used for
printing from and for reference.
Peace treaties are not written
straight across the page, or pages,
like ordinary documents. They are
written in parallel columns, each col
umn being in the language of one
Of the signatory powers. The text
Of each Of these columns Is an exact
translation of the text Of all the
other columns, and the utmost care
is taken in the selection of words
that will convey identical shades Of
meaning.

1.-THE First Battle OF the Marne."

ihS II hSt DuttiC VI tElc lhdFIlS.
Omaha, Nov. Ito the Editor Of
The Bee: The first battle of the
Marine has been fought and won.
Notice has been served upon autoc-
racy that it can no more find bed
ding ground in America than in Eu-
rope. Never again will any occu-
pant of the White House accuse
those who politically disagree with
him of disloyalty.
The precedent will never become
established that it is one of the du-
ties of the chief executive to line up
a coordinate branch of the govern
ment and talk to them like a labor
boss abusing lot Of longshoremen
or a finicky school teacher scolding
her pupils.
The American people have en-
phatically declared against the sue
cesslon of Grown prince" who ac-
quires the title either by consanguin-
ity or affinity. They have served no.
tice that they prefer to choose their
own officials rather than to be rep
resented by an "unelected, unap-
pointed and unconfirmed personal
representative"
into the discard and political ina
chimes into the junk pile. 1t serves
notice that those candidates who are
pronounced "unclean" by their
former political associates may not
aspire to the highest gift in the office
of the people of Nebraska. Never
again will deluded republican voters
Of a republican city elect a demo-
cratic mayor by the farce of mon
partisan ticket, to have him prosti-
tute the power and title of his office
to furnish grease" for the demo-
cratic machine"
The second battle of the Marine
will be fought in 1920, when the
final doom of autocracy in America
will be sealed and the American ma
ton come again into its own. The
wedge" driven into the north from
south Of the Mason and Dixon line
will be eliminated. No longer will
IA Of the old rebel states, which con-
tain less than one-fifth Of the popu-
lation, pay less than one-seventh of
the taxes, and contribute less than
one-fifth Of the funds necessary to
carry on the war, be permitted to
control the destinies of the nation
at home or abroad by depriving a
majority of its electors Of the right
Of franchise by reason Of color.
Never again will the government
be put in the hands of those who
will fix the maximum price Of the
wheat grown by the farmers of the
north, while the cotton Of the south
is permitted to sell for five times it's
former price.
In 1920 those will be put on guard

FLU EPIDEMIC
SPREADING OVER
CIVILIZED WORLD
Germ EIudes BaCterio|ogists
and Health Authorities
Are BaffIed.

The Influenza epidemic continues
undated. Its ravages are not con-
fined to this city or state or even to
the United States, and cable reports
indicate that it is rapidly spreading
over the civilized world. 1t has baf-
fled medical skill to an unusual ex-
tent and has claimed more victims
perhaps than any other epidemic in
score of years. The germ has elud-
ed the Psychologists and medical
men now agree that the best cure ID
prevention.
The surest prevention Is to build
up the bodily powers Of resistance
and to get the system in the best
physical condition possible. It 10
now universally agreed that 1t is
possible to perfect the powers Of re-
sistance Of the human system so
that it can throw off almost any in-
lection not excepting Spanish in-
fluenza.
It has been discovered that per-
sons who are weak and rundown are
the earliest victims, and if you find
yourself tired or weak and losing
flesh, or if you are in a generally
rundown condition and below your
normal weight, this warning should
be needed promptly.
If you are in this condition moth
ing on earth will build you up and
strengthen you like Tanlac, which
contains the most powerful tonic
properties known to science. As
reconstructive tonic and system
builder it is without an equal and
contains the very elements needed
by the system to give you fighting
strength to ward off the Influenza
arm. This is statement of facts
md is supported by the recognized
uthorities and reference works, in
''''" ~. TN'tod States DISPENSE
tory and the Encyclopedia Britain
MICA and leading textbooks used in
the school of medicine. This state
ment is further proven by the fact
that millions Of persons who have
actually taken Tanlac have testi-
fled to its extraordinary merit as a
medicine, and by the fact that Tan
lac is today having the greatest sale
of any tonic on the American mar
ket, over Eleven Million bottles hav-
ing been sold within the past three
years.
Tanlac is also the ideal strength
ening tonic for persons who are suf-
fering from the after-effects of In
fluenza, Grippe or Bronchial trou-
bles and hundreds of thousands are
using it daily with the most crafty
ing results.
In connection with the Tanlac
treatment it is necessary to keep
the bowels open by taking Tanlac
Laxative Tablets, samples of which
are included with every bottle Of
Tanlac.
Tanlac is sold in Omaha by all
