Unconditional Surrender

At this time, when the truce idea is hunming
not only in Constantnople, but in Vienna and
Berlin, and peace feelers are being put out from
all the Teuton alliance capitals the answer that
Grant sent to Buckner in February, 1862, fur
nishes the right tip for handling the truce prop
osition in this war. On February 10 Confeder-
ate General Buckner, in command at Fort DON
elson, wrote to Grant proposing joint commits
sion to arrange terms of capitulation. Grant
answered Immediately, with a refusal which
is famous for explicit brevity. mo terms
except an unconditional surrender can be &C
cepted. | propose to move Immediately on
your works" On that same February 10 came
another message from Buckner accepting the
unconditional surrender" terms
kaiserism and the junker rule that is behind
the kaiser has not yet reached the unconditional
surrender state OF mind. Peace by negotiation,
peace arranged through secret conference, a
truce to the fighting so that the central powers
may have opportunity to put something like the
Brest-Litovsk fimfam across-the Teuton war
lords have not abandoned the hope that intrigue
may not yet help them out from the ring of
steel that is closing in around them.
But the message that Grant sent to Buckner
embodies the terms which the allied kaisers
must accept. Buckner called Grants terms
"ungenerous and unchivalrous," but he didn't
lose 90 minutes in making up his mind to accept
the conditions. Bulgaria Internationally sur
rendered; Turkey will soon follow the lead OF
Bulgaria, and Austria and Germany, whether
: hey like it or not, must accept the same terms.

Characteristic Cussedness.

The last shot fired by the retreating Ger
mans on the Rheims sector was aimed at and
struck the ruined cathedral. No act of all the
war more perfectly illustrates the working Of
the Teutonc mind than this History recounts
no more wanton or useless piece of vandalism
than the deliberate and continued Smelling of
the majestic, beautiful structure, whose presence
linked the present with past of poetic gran
deur For two centuries and over master and
workman alike We'd in loving toll to produce a
monument not alone dedicated to God, but con-
secrated by its beauty and sublimity of concep-
ton to humanity. For other centuries it stood,
an inspiration and an invitation to mans higher
nature Around it waves Of war rolled and
broke, and not until August, 1914, was ever a
blow purposely dealt to harm its sacred walls.
The Hun. however, saw in it only something
to be broken down and destroyed, because it
was thing valued by others, and could not be
carried away to Germany. For four years with
heartless deliberaton, German artillery has
pounded away at this cathedral, until it is a
ruin. The last shot was fired as an insult, just
as the first shot was fired as notice to the world
that the opponents of kultur held no reverence
for the art of all time. While the ruin of the
cathedral stands it will represent a reproach
from which Germany will never be free.

State Press Comments

Harvard Courier: All this talk
about putting the soldiers on farms
when they come back won't amount
to much. Those of them who are
farmers will go back to the farm
and the others will so back to the
Jobs they left when they entered the

election of a democratic congress.
Oh, well, at any rate there is bound
to be enough republicans elected to
insure the passage OF all his war
measures.
Tekamah Herald: The turning
down Of suffrage is the first time
President Wilson has been repudi-
ated by the senate! 1t was done by
his own party, which is ample proof
that the republicans are standing by
the president better than the demo-

Shelton Clipper: After this war is
won there is going to be another
draft. 1t will be a draft before the
board of public opinion, and all men
are going to be classified. There
will be class for the Stacker, the
backbiter and the miser, and may
God pity them, for their fellow men
will not.
Kearney Hub: We must not let
our enthusiasm run away with our
Judgment just because the linden
burgers and Ludendorffers are on
the run. 1t is yet a long road to
Berlin and the peace battle that is
yet to come will require all the horse
sense there is left If we would avoid
the loss Of the chief fruits of a mill
tary victory.

A Billion Bushels of Wheat.

In All almost final estimate of the United
States wheat crop for the present year the De-
partment of Agriculture credits the farmers
with having produced very nearly the asked-for
billion bushels. This is more than lO00OO,0O0
bushels in excess of the average yield for the
hve-year period 1926, and is 26S000O00 BUSH
els greater than the crop of 1917. As we met
the urgency requirements of our European
Allies last year by sending them 1350OoO00
bushels from Our slender stock, all lade posi-
Bile by savings voluntarily effected, the present
store OF wheat would seem to be ample. Amer
leans still are asked to submit to the limitation
imposed on the use of wheat -four in Great
Britain and France, and to this cheerfully &C
cede. But the danger OF famine has been BAN
ished; we have feodstufs in plenty for our own
requirements and abundance to send to hungry

PRESIDENTS REPLY TO GERMANY.

President Wilson's reply to the German
imperial chancellor has one quality that will
commend it to the public. AS an avoidance OF
diplomatic trap it we'll serves the purpose.
While nonconclusive, except in demanding with
drawal OF German troops from occupied terri
tory, demand already voiced by others, in
Guiding The Bee, the president has deprived
Maximian of his opportunity to delude the
Germans as to the attitude OF the Allies. The
chancellor can not now say he offered peace on
honorable terms and that his approach was ig-
nored. While the note OF the president is an in
vitation to further exchange of views, and in
that way to keep the discussion open, it also
prepares the way for the utimatum Americans
had hoped would be given in sharp and unmis-
takeable language at this time.
Until the precise meaning of the fourteen
theses laid down by Mr.. Wilson last January is
agreed on, and which have subsequently been
modified both by his words and by the prog
ress of the war, their application is difficult.
That the Central powers profess willingness
to accept them in principle is not enough, for
divergence of opinion as to the exact princ-
pie contained in them is too wide to admit ready
composition.
Americans are not yet ready to stop the war
without some assurance they can readily under
stand that it is finished for all time. The conf
plete and absolute defeat OF the German war
machine seems necessary before the German
government can be changed sufficiently to make
it popularity responsive and responsible. At
present Prince Macmillan represents the kaiser,
who speaks under claim Of divine right for the
German people When the emperor has been
forced from the field, his military power broken.
then his people may act through responsible
government

"Not Guilty"

So insane1y obsessed with petty spitefulness
against The Bee is Mr. Hitchbranch of the
Hyphenated World Herald that he apparently
stays awake nights to think of something to
find fault with in the conduct of this paper.
This time, Judging others by himself, he
ilnagines the editor OF The Bee personally
scrutnizing every piece of copy that goes to
the printer for fear some creditable mention
may be made of its canker-consumed con-
temporary, nabbed the list of subscribers to
the Liberty Loan and struck out of it the name
of the hyphenated sheet under $4,000 head
ing
To this heinous accusation of vicious vii
lainly we plead mot guilty" We even insist no
such crime was committed, as the proof is
easily forthcoming and as Mr.. Hitchbranch
would doubtless realize if he made the slight
est investigation,
The fact is that the original list of Liberty
Loan subscriptions of $4,000 and over sent to
The Bee by the committee did not contain the
name of the Hyphenated World Herald at all
That list The Bee accepted and printed. A
subsequent list repeated the same subscriptions
adding the subscriptions down to $1,000 and this
supplemental list The Bee also printed except, it
seems, two new names hidden in the $4,000
group which no one could have discovered with
out once more checking each individual SUBJ
scription against the copy already sent to the
printer
So we have complete alibi and the griev-
ance Of the World-Herald mono-maniac if he
has any, is with the careless clerks of the
Liberty Loan committee or its publicity agents
or some one else but certainly not with the edi-
tor of The Bee.
We know, OF course, that there are patriots
and patrioteers and that patrioteers think more
of the free advertising that goes with the an
nouncement OF their bond purchases than to
the feeling of self-satisfacton in doing their bit
Lest the Hyphenated Word-Herald miss out
in this free publicity which it so sorely Graves to
counter balance its rank record of pro-German-
ism we give it all this space without charge.

Ware the Cry of "Kamarad."

Ogallala. Neb., Oct. S.-To the Ed
itor of The Bee: Unconditional sur
render is the only terms we can al
low the Huns; they are all guilty of
the blood Of women and little chill
dren. The Germans, Austrians,
Turks and Bulgarians, a band of
murderers deserving no quarter,
while holding up both hands crying
"Kamarad," they are applying the
torch to French towns and villages.
The same old trick which they
have tried before-raise the white
flag and then fire on our boys as
soon as they come within range.

ton Monday in the senate Senator
Nelson Of Minnesota says: II must

prised at anything coming from that

Mr., Kinder's RejOinder,

Lincoln, Oct. S.-To the Editor of
The Bee: Mr. Wooster said l was
silly because | made the statement
that under certain grave conditions
that confront nation police power
is over and above the constitution.
l consider 1t a compliment to be
dubbed silly by this learned sage
whose light shineth as the MONDAY
sun, while mine only shineth as that
of the little FREELY In the wee b. V. d.
hours of the night.
Police power Is defined on page
803m. Cyclopedia of Law Procedure,
vol. s, as that power by which the
health, good order, peace and gen.
eral welfare are promoted" The
trainers of the constitution, recog-
nizing the police power of a nation,
and knowing to what endless means
it could be employed, made the right
Of assembly, petition, religion, the
press and free speech primarily free.
Mr.. Wooster's argument is that we
can't prohibit the use of the German
language without violating free
speech guaranteed by the constitu-
ton, Religion is free. but police
power prevented Mormons from
practicing polygamy, and now in cit
les even to have church services be-
cause of influenza. The right of as
sembly is abridged by the police
power as in recent cases of social
lists, /. w. WIS. and Nonpartisan
leaguers.
When this war is over and mill
lions of soldiers return and become
civilians again it is going to be I'M
safe to speak German in public
places. One Of the inherent rights
Of police power is to legislate for
public safety, and the sooner we can
invoke that power and clean house
for the returning soldiers the better.
We should do some of the unpleas-
ant jobs Of stamping out German
propaganda and not leave it all for
the soldiers to do. JESSE KINDER.

Storyette OF the Day.

The American expeditlonary force,
take it from everybody who knows
anything about it, is remarkable for
its temperance. But temperance has
its drawbacks, sometimes. Witness
the plight of Frenchman of middle
age, who has home and the things
that go with it, up in the Marine
country.
"A.l, m'sieur," he will tell you. II
like the Americans very much! Only
they drink too much of the water!
Wine is plenty-beaucoup de vim
was there about my place, but not
one drop would the young Ameri-
cans touch. Instead, they emptied

pay me, have they not taught me the

SIDELIGHTS ON THE WAR

New York City's war stamp drive
has gone over the $30,O00,000 mark.
Each month. according to official
figures, the soldiers of the American
army in France consume 100000
packages of cigarettes, 100000
cigars. 463 tons of bar chocolate, and
100000 sticks + chewing gum.
According to a Berlin professor,
the war diet is doing great things
in helping the stout Teutons to re-
duce without extra expense, and in
curing nerve troubles, as people
have no longer so much time to
think about themselves.
A statement even remotely reflect
ing on .Germany's troubles on the
western front is mighty risky bust
ness for the author. At Oberhan-
sen, recently. soldier back from the
front said in shop that his regi-
ment had been annihilated near
Bapaume, was tried by court martial
and sentenced to six years impris-
onment in fortress.

THE KAISER'S PRAYER.

The Kaiser In his chamber sat.
And prayed to God on high:
20. IL Thou wilt, please let me rule,
The sea, the earth and sky,
Give me gun which fires shot,
Afar across the sea:
SO at my will ] can destroy
The land OF Liberty.
Give me a gas which penetrates
The mask which thwarts its fume,
And with Its use, I'll soon pronounce
The Allies certain doom.
Give me a powerful submarine.
Which needs no stopping base;
So that my men can sink and kill
And never leave trace.
Give me a plane which will be safe
From anti-aircraft guns.
Let London, Paris and New York,
Be taken by the Huns.
"Give me the greater part OF France
To add to my domains;
Let me control the U. s. A.
And all the Russian grains
Let me wipe England off the map.
And sink her In the sea:
Make all the Allies which are left
Bow down to Germany.
"And"-this is all poor Billy wants.
And not so strange to tell,
The only thing he's sure to get
Is standing room in Hell.
