Sidelights ON the War

The Tyrol, which has figured con.
spicuously in the news of the present
war, has always been a battle-ground
chiefly because of Its strategic po-
sition in command Of the road across
the Alps.
An American sergeant, when he
led q platoon into a captured Ger
man dugout in France, found affairs,
vestments, statues, candelabra,
paintings, a chalice and a ciborium,
stolen from desecrated churches.
The green. white and red flag of
Italy was adopted in imitation of
the red, white and blue Of France,
at Milan. on November 6, 1895. when
Napoleon formed the Lombard mill
tia to fight with the French armies.
Noyon, an important strategic
point recently recovered by the
allies. is situated some 81 miles
northeast Of Paris and is a town Of
great antiquity. 1t saw the corona
ton of Pippin the Short in A. D.
1852, and also the coronation of
Charlemagne some years later.
1t is now stated on the authority
of Martin Conboy, director of the
draft, that the recent roundup in
the New York district of more than
$4,000 men on the mere suspicion
that they were slackers yielded in
sum total only 1919 actual delin-
quents, who have been indicted into
the army. OF these, at least IS were
non-residents.
Since 1870 the German general
staff has always held Metz to be the
principal pivot against France and
maintained there peace garrison
of $4,000 men. The city is surround
ed by veritable network of massive
forts, armored batteries, infantry po-
sitions. countless shelters, and maya
zines to supply the lines and ways Of
safe communication.
Some 700 returned soldiers have
applied to the Canadian Soldiers
Settlement board for financial as
sistance to enable them to engage
in agriculture. Nine thousand men
are required to help In the harvest
in Manitoba, according to message
issued by the Canadian Food board
The local supply available for farm
help Is estimated at 4, 900 men,

Why He Opposes Germany.


Ogallala, Neb., Sept. 21.--To the
Editor Of The Bee: The kaiserite
pro Germans die hard, but they have
to go just the same; the handwriting
is on the wall. Rev. Mr.. Hermann
makes a plea for the Germans ana
for the German language at meet
ing at Lincoln, and tells the people
not to be carried away by "hysteria.
His remarks were printed in The
Bee of the 21st inst. on front page.
Right in the next column alongside
Is an account of bombardment Of
base hospital on the American
front, in which eight Of our Amer
lean boys were killed; they were
being treated in the hospital for gas
attacks. A large red cross was con-
spicuously displayed on white canvas
in front Of the big hospital tent
! plead guilty to prejudice
against everything German. 1t is
unfortunate TO the Germans residing
in America, for something is turning
up every day, so that we have lost
all faith or sympathy for anything
German.
Rev. Mr.. Hermann rightly says
the English churches could not sur
vive in country districts where the
Germans predominated. This was all
in accord with a well laid plan, a
conspiracy to Germanize America.
Proof of this has been well estab-
lished in the trial of the German
American Alliance.
The Germans held themselves
aloof from the American churches
and schools unless they could COM
pei our schools to teach the German,
which they did do in a good many
cases.
The State Council of Defense has
done a great service to state and ma
ton. 1t has made the pro-Germans
crawl into their holes: 1t has been a
bitter pill for some of them. but they
have been compelled to place Old
Glory above their school buildings
and cut out the German language in
the schools.
The war Is not ended. but I do
not look for any serious trouble in
future. Nebraska has been made
decent place to live.

 Books lUanted by our soldiers and sailors

Select from your libraries good books in good condi- tion-wrap and address the "Liberty War Serv- ice'' and take them to tie Public Library. They will be sent to camp libraries in America and Over There. Every one has in their possession books of popn- lar fiction-just the kind of books that our soldiers and sailor boys are hungry for. You have read these books once you have passed t h em around among your friends, and 1t is a waste to leave them on your shelves when there are soldier boys and sailor boys who are anxious for good books to read.
 Giving books to this cause is a sane, sensible war service. It is a solemn duty just as much as tho conservation of food and a contribution to war finance.
