Austrian Defeat Crushing Blow.

General Diaz has fairly redeemed the disaster
that overlook General Cadorna's army, and ltays
military star is again in the ascendant. The rout
OF the Austrians along the Piave is complete, and
while the full extent OF the defeat can only be
guessed at now, it involves the main strength of
the army on which the kaiser relied to crush
Italy. Its significance is too plain to be ignored;
just as the breakdown of Cadorna's army in De-
eember shocked the Entente Allies and made
possible the Hndenburg drive in Pcardy, so this
triumph OF Diaz will turn the tide the other direc-
tion Austrian morale, already shattered by con-
ditions at home, scarcelyscan recover from such
blow in time to be of much assistance in the fur
ther operations of the present summer. While it
is possible for the foe to hold his positions in the
Venetian Alps, he will not be able to threaten the
plain again. Germany is so thoroughly COM
mtted to operations in France that little likel-
hood of diversion of strength to aid Austria can
be noted. On the contrary, signs are not wanting
that Germany has discounted Austrian defeat, and
is preparing to carry on the war with little or no
regard to the fate of the Hun forces in Italy
Victory at this time will not only revive Italy,
but will encourage the fighting men OF all the
armies engaged against the German. The retreat
on the Piaye is prophetic of what ultimately will
be Witnessed along the rivers in France. The
days OF the Blonde Beast are numbered.

BOTH DISTINCTION AND DIFFERENCE.

Some dullards fail to grasp the vital point Of
the proposition to prohibit salaried city hall ap-
pointees from seeking primary nominations for
political Offices. Men holding positions as a re-
ward OF party service may properly look for pro-
motion through political channels, but men hold
ing positions under "nonpartisan" adminstra-
ton may properly be denied the privilege OF using
their places as base of operations for political
preferment.
True, this distinction was ignored by ex-Mayor
Dahlman when he ran for governor as the dem
ocratic nominee, while drawing pay as chief ex-
ecutive for the city, but it was not violated by
Woodrow Wilson when he continued to serve as
governor of New Jersey after becoming candi-
date for the presidency. Though elected on
nonpartisan ticket, Mayor Dahlman made the
city hall the nesting place and meal ticket for the
local democratic machine and in so doing frac-
turcd the political code as we'll as the spirit and
intent of the commission plan OF city govern
ment AS an extreme example we might picture
our superintendent of schools trying to hold on
to his job while chasing votes for political NOM
ination. How long would the people stand for it?
In word, there is both distinction and
difference separating nonpartisanship and parti
sanship, and it is not hard to draw the line be-
tween the proprietes which they demand.

Federal Control of Clothes

The food OF Americans and the fuel to
keep Americans warm have been for several
months under the strict control of the federal
government, AS to shelter, housing facilities,
we have been cut off from new buildings also
by federal regulation of material shipments.
Heretofore, however, our clothes have been
LETT untouched save as prices have been run
up by army and navy demands, and by war
conditions. The announcements made to the
Associated Woolen and Worsted Manufac-
turers that textile administrator" will soon
be appointed should have shocked nobody.
Over WOOL cotton, silk and other fiber
cloths this administrator will have the same
power that Mr.. Hoover has over food and
MIR. Garfield over fuel. Women as we'll as
men will get what he thinks they should
have. 1t looks at present as though in the
near future civilians would get precious little
all wool material for garments. About all
the wool available is required for uniforms.
Price regulation will not be an unmixed
evil But how this can be accomplished in
the matter Of cotton goods, with no check
at all on the price of raw cotton, it is hard
to determine. And congress, controlled by
a southern majority in the dominant party's
caucus, has up to date refused any such
relief to the cotton manufacturers Many
problems will have to be worked out. The
process will be watched with the keenest in
terest by old-fashioned Jeffersonians, but
without any acrimonious protest. The least
government theorists are as ready as the rest
of us to acknowledge that an unprecedented
national emergency justihes it.-Brooklyn

Booty Soothes the Hun Soul

The booty in artillery and war material
is tremendous" said the. German war office
in its official report announcing the taking
OF scissors. THE impetuous advance of
our attacking forces prevented the enemy
from carrying back rich war provisions
heaped up in the captured territory. Large
depots fell into our hands at Soissons,
Braisne and Fismes Extensive 1nuniton
depots railway trains and hospital establish
ments, with a large quantity of medical
equipment, fell into our possession"
When it begins the discussion of booty
the German war office fairly licks its chops.
That is something tangible that Junkertum
can understand and appreciate. 1t is some
thing worth fighting for. 1t represents div
idends on what Mirabeau called the principal
industry of Prussia.
To the German mind, booty is an inspir-
ing relief from the stereotyped tributes to
the heroism of the held-gray troops "in de-
Tense of the fatherland," or even to formal
recognition of the cooperation of Gott, who
is sometimes as undependable as the Austro-
Hungarian ally. 1t is part of the eternal
verities of German war.
That is what this conflict is all about
booty-but booty on a colossal and magni-
ticent scale which has not yet, been realized.
That is why the spring offensive was under
taken, with its unparalleled expenditure of
blood
There can be no more accurate index to
the present German state of mind than the
war Offices hymn of thanksgiving over the
spoils of the new offensive.-New York

Song OF the Cigarette.
Omaha, June 21.--To the Editor of
The Bee: Kindly find space for this
little piece of poetry:
When the cold Is making ice cream Of the
marrow of your bones,
When you're shaking like jelly and your
feet are dead as stones,
When your clothes and boots and blankets.
and your Eifle and your kit
Are soaked from He'll to breakfast. and

you've got cigaret.
When you're lying In a listening post, way
out beyond the wire,
While the blasted Hun behind the gun is
doing rapid fire,
When bullets whine above your head, and
sputter on the ground,
When your eyes are strained for every
move, your ears for every sound
You'd bet your life a Hun patrol is prowlins
somewhere near;
A shiver runs along your spine that's very
much like fear:
You'll stick it to the finsh-but I'll make q
little bet.

When Fritz Is starting something and his
guns are on the bust,
When the parapet goes up in chunks, and
settles down in dust,
When the roly-poly rum jar comes wabbling
through the air,
Till 1t lands upon a dugout--and the
dugout isn't there;
When the air is full Of dust and smoke, and
scraps of steel and noise,
And you think you're booked for golden
crowns and other heavenly Joys, q
When your nerves are all atremble and
your brain is all afret--
1t isn't half SO hopeless II you've got a
cigaret.
When you're waiting for the whistle, and

You bluff yourself, it's lots Of fun, and

Weak Spot Of the Nonpar. r.isans.

The weakest point in the program of the Nom
pArtisan League Is that plank which undertakes
to set the agricultural industry apart from all
others in the country as an object for special
tnvors. Townley and his followers are willing to
place all other industrial enterprises under close
regulation, and to restrict commercial activity
within narrow boundaries, while allowing the
aruer the widest latitude. 1t is just this sort of
special plea that has given them standing with
lho thoughtless the unfortunate and the selfish.
TO array one class against another is the most
mnscrous form of demagogy. and, sorrow to say,
ths one most frequently and successfully prac-
ticsd. So far as the Nonpartsan League has
eehleved anything Of political success it has been
shfoush this form Of appeal The impossibility of
mznging al under their control, and the undesir-
sbility Of such an accomplishment have been the
deteat Of the faction, which has sought to work
ruin through elevating one class above another.
Farmers are beginning to see through the
sehenes Of the tricksters and ii will not be long
until the "non-parts" have joined host Of prede-
eesscrs in the limbo OF bad dreams.
The men who raise the crops in America are
inteiligent enougkto understand that their indus
~ i on parity with all others, that success
depends on thrift and industry, and that "be it
enaetsd" will not produce a crop where the fields
hays not been properly prepared, seeded and cul-
uyated. Political hocuspocus never did and never
MI produce peace, happiness or prosperitv

Allied statesmen and military authorities. alike
are returning to one of the original plans for
aiding Russia and defeating Germany. 1t is the
march of an allied force across Siberia to restore
the eastern front. The physical difficulties in the
way are enormous, but not insuperable. What is
most important is the effect the presence OF such
force would have on the Russians themselves.
No one longer believes that much will be gained
by being over-sensitiye with regard to the feel
ings Of the bolsheviki and all understand how
much Is at stake. Establishment of Prussian
control in Russia, which steadily is going for
ward, means indefinite prolongation OF the war,
as well as the creation of future more or less
threatening to peace II, then, it is possible to
restore the Russian spirit, and set up anew a
fighting force on the eastern front by sending an
expedition across Siberia the plan is worthy of
the effort.
In connection with this it has been suggested
that the provisional government of Russia be
restored, with Vladivostok as its temporary cap
ta, order to be effectively set up as the govern
ment is able to extend its sway westward until
finally all Russia has been lifted from the chaotic
depth into which it has fallen. That this plan also
is feasible is admitted.
President Wilson is now appealed to directly
to send help for the Russians. We are willing
enough to do this, but reluctant to take from our
stores for the benefit Of those who will not help
themselves. If the presence of an army made up
from all the allied forces, including Japan and
China, could cross the continent and present its
line in western Russia, a rallying point would be
found for the elements Of strength among the
Russian people, now sadly scattered but only
waiting for the chance to get into action. The
whole program is one of the most feasible offered
for the salvation of that distracted country.
