Loans to Our Allies

The largest asset of the United States treas

Credits for more than 0oS000,000 have been
established, exceeding by 100 per cent all the
gold and silver and other valuabes held in the
treasury. We have not stnted in advancing

many, but have been limited only by their
necessities. 1t was generous, but it was also
prudent for it was one of the ways of making
our national strength register against the en-
envy. The vital fact was that the money must
be furnished as it was needed. That fact re-

reached when the country is ready to listen to

over 10 our fighting comrades. If it had been
necessary we would have given it readily.
The original war finance bill specified that the
sums set aside for the use of the allies should
be used in purchasing their bonds. 1t soon be-
came apparent, however, that this procedure
involved dangerous delay in opening our re-
sources to their armies An amendment was
put through by Secretary McAdoo authorizing
short-time loans and practically all of the OBJ

In the Wars Spotlight

Rheims, which has been wrested
from the Germans by the allies after
having been almost blotted Off the
map by the Hun bomb and torch. Is
one of the most famous of the his
toric cities of France. During the
four years and more that 1t has been
the scene of conflict the historic
buildings of Rheims have suffered
irreparable damage. Most famous
of these is the 700-year-old cathe-
dral, where the kings of France were
crowned for centuries.
The little town of Cambria, which
has been captured by the Canadians
after such hard fighting, is located
on the eastern bank Of the Scheldt
at one end OF the st. Quentin canal,
For the greater part of its history,
and until quite recent times, the
town was fortress Of considerable
strength. 1t was, indeed, Charlie
magne who first built walls around
it, and from that date II has figured
prominently in the history Of north
ern France as place forever in dis

Albania, where the Italians have
launched vigorous campaign, has
been bone Of dispute between rival
powers for centuries past. The HIT

OF Greece and Dalmatia. and just
across the Adriatic from Italy. The
Albanians, though sharply divided
into tribes. il very different types,
nevertheless are distinctly race by

the Albanians still retain their an

NEBRASKA.

A slender path OF shining steel
Winds onward toward the west,
While to the left and to the right
Lies what love the best.
There miles ana miles OF rolling plains,
Drift into skies OF blue
In which the brightest sunshine CLEAN,
And greets the morning dew.
As far as ever eye can reach
One sees the softest browns
All covered with ripening corn
And green wheat growing round.
And cattle grazing peacefully
Among the little hills,
Their soft eyes filled with wondermeut-
Perhaps OF human Ills.
Dear Nebraska. land I love.
You have a charm for me
Which l seem never to forget
On mountain tops or sea.
And even In the dark OF night
When stormy winds sweep by
seem to see your rolling plains
And sunny cloudless sky.
SO keep for me in time to como
A place upon your breast,
A place that may call my home
You Queenland OF the West.

Stronger Highways Required.

When the Nebraska legislature gets around
to the good roads question next winter, as it
probably will, it should give attention to a newly
developed phase of the problem 1t is the in
creasng use of trucks in transportation, not
only from the farms to the railroads. but be-
tween the farms and the markets. Along with
this comes the natural increase in load handled,
putting an extra tax on the roadbed. High
ways that are not properly constructed to with
stand the wear of heavy loads moving swiftly
VIII soon break down and are worse than none.
Nebraska has not gone avery far beyond the
talking stage in the matter of road Improvement,
but the actual work of construction cannot be
put OH much longer. Our state engineer could
perform real service by preparing in advance
some data on this topic for the instruction of
the legislators when they get together

PUNISHMENT OF ENEMY CRIMINALS.

The growing outcry that punishment OF those
responsible for the outrages and atrocities per-
petrated on innocent victims in fragrant disre-
gard of all the laws of war should be included
in the exactions Of the final peace is apparently
not confined to this country. Speaking at Liv-
erpool a few weeks ago. Sir Frederick Smith,
the attorney general for Great Britain made this
declaration:
have given close attention to the subject
of international law, and tell you plainly that
there is in international law abundant war
rant for the punishment, both in their persons
and in their purses, OF proved and identified
criminals. CheersI 1t has not been be-
coming, until the hope of victory was recently
formed upon the events in the field, to talk or
what we should do when victory came That
those persons who can be identified with uni
versally admitted acts of outrage are to es-
cape with impunity is view of the situation
which | certainly should find it difficult TO
accept Cheersl
We are told it will not be possible for Ger
many to pay indemnities although she her
self is demanding f30O,000,000 from the Boil
shevists. There are great assets in Germany.
1t is a matter which is irrelevant from one
point of view as to whether those assets are
pledged by the German government to the
citizens of that country who have supplied
the money for the war to be carried on. The
relevant answer on the subject to the German
government is. You have pillaged and de-
sroyed Belgium and ravaged France, aud
your first obligation is to compensate Bel
gium and then France, and then pay those
who put in the money to enable you to COM
nit those outrages." lCheers.
The report of these remarks being punctu-
ated with Cheers" would indicate that the opin-
ion of the British attorney general strikes a
popular chord over there. Discussion of the
subject on this side has already led to citation
OF the chapter OF our civil war history, in which
the notorious General Wirz, held responsible
for the Andersonve prison barbarism, was
tried in a civil court after the surrender and
convicted as any other criminal. For US to re-
venge the slaughter of innocents by retaliatine
in kind upon other innocent people is, we all
agree, a questionable procedure, but to hold tc
strict accountability the arch hends who planned
and fnstigated such crimes would be merely
Furnishing guilt.
