Time to Be Stern and StronQ

Lest we become mushy toward the Ger
mans, now that they are near the end of their
string and soon to be dealt with by their con-
auerors, it is we'll to keep in mind what the
frame of mind of the Huns has been during
their forced retreat from Belgium and France
Typical of what German soldiers did in the
homes of those whose country they had brutally
invaded and laid waste, single paragraph writ
ten by the late Don Martin. careful and pains
taking American newspaperman, in describing
the vandalism committed in one house. should be
enough. Here it is:
"Tore Teddy bear in two; pulled arms and
legs from large dolls; smashed doll cradle and
generally wrecked child's nursery"
In this house the vandals also smashed mar
Sic clocks, tore valuable books to bits, broke
the keys OF costly piano, slashed oil paintings,
tapestries and lace curtains to ribbons, hurled
ink on walls, shivered chinaware and art vases
and wrecked mirrors, beds and dressers.
Wanton destruction of this kind, committed
in the worst of animal frenzies, marks every
part Of the occupied territory from which the
Germans were forced by their betters to fee
These are the armies, these the men, who now
come cringing to the victors for terms. What
normal human being has now tender spot in
his heart for them9 Who can imagine Foch
Haig or Pershing interceding for gentleness
toward them or disposed to visit upon them a
whit less punishment than they richly deserve?

BASIS FOR PERMANENT PEACE.

Lloyd George warns voters of the United
Kingdom that they have more to dread from
reaction than from bolshevism. The peace the
world has longed for must be founded on jus
tice, and not on revenge. Seeds for future
war, no matter how long postponed, must not
be sown by the peace council. These senti-
ments will be echoed in America. 1t was the
ideal Of justice for all nations. large or small,
for the weakest as we'll as the strongest, that
led US into the war. Unless this ideal can be-
realized in the settlement on which readjust-
ment is made, then the great sacrifice has been
wasted effort.
Overturning outworn forms of government,
unhorsing autocracy and dsposing of heredi-
tary rulers does not comprise the entire program
of democracy. These are but details, the clear
ing away of rubbish from the new path into
which the world is turning Other forms Of
social injustice and inequality remain and must
be dealt with.
The conception Of the square deal has been
uppermost in American minds for many years,
and it must be realized. To its application all
must unite, with the same fervor that all joined
in making it possible to have such an oppor-
tunty throughout the world. Only on such a
basis is peace abroad and tranquility at home
possible.

On Behalf Of the Homeless Man.

The local food administrator announces the
use of wheat -four is for the present to be re-
stricted to homes only, and that public eating
places wifi not be permitted to serve the un-
mixed -four nor to increase the allowance of
bread to customers. This ruling puts the man
without a home at a distinct disadvantage.
While Omaha is city of homes, it yet has
very large proportion of population made up of
those who eat at restaurants, hotels and other
public eating houses These have felt the food
restrictions far more severely than at the homes
Householders have not been lacking in patri-
otism in observing all the requirements of the
food administrator, but they have been able to
use the substitutes to greater advantage, and so
have avoided stinting themselves or their fam-
lies unduly. The folks who "dne OUT have
met the patriotic impulse on one hand, the
profiteering propensity on the other they have
had to endure increased prices and reduced por-
tons, and were forced to make the best of it.
The caterer found it to his personal interest
strictly to enforce all the Hoover rules, and did
so to the limit. Now that these rules are be.
ginning to relax, consideration should be given
the man who sits on stool while he eats; his
patriotism is unQuestioned, even though he has
not home to go to, and his hunger is equally
undeniable. Give him share with the others.

New Life in Germany.

The socialists have completed their organi-
cation for the general government of Germany
and now must Hpvide for details of manage
ment. Some obNSus difficulties confront those
who are provisio4 ally in control, but these nor
mally should be far less than were presented to
the Russian patriots, who sought to save their
land from ruin Greatest of all factors in favor
of Herr Ebert and his associates is the pheg-
matte character of the German. If his creature
tent while steps are taken for relieving his po-
litcal needs
Another advantage is that through the close
organization of the socialist party and the CO.
operation of the labor unions, machinery is al
ready at hand to perform the ordinary admins
trstive functions OF government. How we'll this
may be adapted to the emergency is to be de-
veloped For the present it has worked quite
we'll, because it has enabled the party suddenly
placed in power to form cabinet which will
have legal show of right through its affilia-
ton with the Reichstag. Its real strain will
come with the return of the soldiers, some of
whom already show the faint of extreme boil
shevisnl.
However, it is plain to even these that the
relief they must have from outside only can
come to them when they are we'll behaved, and
this fact may operate to hold in check any who
might be inclined to turbulence and disorder.
1t is reasonable, then, to think that Germany
will escape most of what took place in Russia,
but the danger point has not been passed.

Where to Hold the Council.

Steps preliminary to the holding Of the peace
council are already being taken British,
French and Italian premiers will shortly con-
suit at Paris over some details that must be
arranged in advance. This all brings up in an
interesting way the makeup of the American
delegation as we'll as the location of the coun-
cil's meeting place. Sentiment abroad is re-
ported to be much in favor of having President
Wilson as head of the American delegation. At
Washington it has been announced that while
the American representatives will be selected
with due regard for their ability and representa-
tive qualities, some opposition has arisen to the
proposal that the president leave the country.
This rests on the belief that the executive should
be continually present during the reconstruc-
ton time.
President Wilson's presence at the council
easily may be secured by the very simple ex-
pedient of holding it in the United States. No
really good reason exists why this cannot be
done. The Hague has been suggested on the
sentimental ground that the Peace Palace al
ready exists there. Lausanne, Versailles, Paris,
London and Constantinople are other localities
proposed as the meeting place. None of these
offers anything that cannot be matched by the
United States Washington has had tremen-
dous influence in deciding the outcome of the
war, and might we'll be the scene of the gather
ing that will fix peace agreements.
Our government is in position to invite the
nations OF the earth to gather here for the most
wonderful conclave ever held. Let US have the
meeting, and let future generations refer to the
Washington convention as one OF the worlds
great monuments.

HERE AND THERE.

Seventeen members Of the British
Parliament have been killed in the
present war.
One and a half million men are
needed to man and maintain the
British navy:
Miners of Great Britain have
raised $1,500,000 for motor am

The first newspaper came into eX-
istence when written accounts of the
imperial armies of Rome were sent

The greatest depth Of the Atlantic
ocean is over five miles. Nearly one
half the ocean, however, is only from
a mile to two miles deep; the rest
varies, from less than a mile to more

The oldest form Of newspaper In
England was in the beginning of the
reign Of James II, the so-called
"News-Letters," written by hand and
sent by post to subscribers through

THE BEGGARMEN

The spawn Of savagery, all hyming hate,
Slapped with Jehoyah's brow.
1t Changed its shields besieging heavens
gate
Where those besiegers now?
The beggarmen! the beggarmen!
The beggarmen have come!
The hands once plundering reaching
Are lifted In beseeching;
Their laggard feet
Move to the beat
OF one poor broken drum.
The beggarmen! the beggarmen!
outcasts Of Christendom!
Once, round their feet they saw dead ma
tions drift
Like babies that had died;
Sneering. they knew not Gods eternal
swift
Back-surging Of the tide.
The beggarmen! the beggarmen!
The beggarmen stink In,
Their knees In suppliance bringing
A Caesar coming cringing!
All rent and torn
Their robes outworn
Where once had armor BEEN
The beggarmen! the beggarmeni
Still sinking Of their sin.
The mouths that spat hot oaths Of victory
And sang Of right Divine
Now utter cowardice's prayer and plea.
And whine. and whine, and whine!
The beggarmen! the beggarmen!
The beggarmen once bold!
Behold them sinking under
A cloud that once was thunderi
And each one drags
His purple rags
As slaves dragged chains Of old
The beggarmen! the beggarmen!
The beggarmen behold!

Abuse of Free Transportation.


Nebraska City. Neb., Nov. Ito
the Editor of The Bee: In today's
Bee appeared timely article on the
Plethora Of Passes" in which ex-
ception was taken to the granting Of
passes to others than the railroad
men themselves.
This is well and good. but does
not go far enough. There is no rea-
son why railroad men should receive
transportation in large or small
quantities as a bonus. They are al
ready paid as we'll, If not better, as
any other class Of labor. 1t is true
that the dead heads" do not neces-
state the use of additional equip
ment for their accommodation in-as-
much as their riding Is distributed
over large areas and occurs at
diverse times; but free" rider
shirks his portion of the cost of fur
nishing transportation and shifts 1t
to other shoulders. You and /,
friend reader, are paying transporta-
ton for railroad men who are per-
haps paid for more than we.
In fairness to us all a sharp line
should be drawn between Official
business riding and personal trips,
just as IN the postal department the
employees can use penalty" en-
velopes for postcffice mail only.
II We must give railway employees
a bonus to keep them from striking,
let us also give free postage to pos
tai clerks. free groceries to grocery
clerks, free fare to all United States
employees, free coal to coal miners
ad lib. ad inf
1t would be pleasant and instruc-
tive to hear from railway men on
this question.
Why should railroad men be al
lowed to shoulder their share of the
cost of transportation onto some one
else? 1t is not question Of
amounts, but one of principle.

Right in the Spotlight.

The suggestion that the Hon. Will
liam Arthur Holman, premier OF
New South Wales, will enter Brit
ish politics is interesting. Mr.. Hol-
man is one of the ablest of Aus
tralia's statesmen. He was born in
London, and was to have been a
cabinet maker-not in the political
sense-but he went to Australia,
took to journalism and the bar, and
so found his way into public life.
In 1901 he was elected a member of
the legislative assembly for New
South Wales, and 10 years later be-
came attorney general. In 1914 he
became premier of New South
Wales and leader of the labor
party. Since the commencement Of
the war he has been active in the in
terest of the allied cause. Last year
he visited the front and narrowly
escaped a German she'll which killed
his companion,
