The saddest words Of tongue or

Field Marshal Mackensen when his

sandbags which safeguarded the
front of the famous basilieu from the
bombs of air raiders, the columns
of the Doges' palace and the an

have been thrown aside, and the
famous square of st. Mark and
neighboring riazetta once more re-
fleet their peace time glories. And
the gondoiers look forward JOY
ously to the coming of the tourist

Right in the Spotlight.

Maj. Gen. George Barnett, COM
mandant of the United States Mar
inc corps, who has been reported
seriously i'll in France, enters upon
his Goth year today, having been
born Dec. 9, 1889, at Lancaster, Wis.
Gen. Barnett has been at the head
of the marine corps since the early
part of 1914. Previously he had
seen service in Cuba, Panama. the
Philippines, with the legation guard
at Pekin, and on numerous cruises
with the Atlantic fleet. He COM
manded the expeditionary force of
marines in Cuba in 1906, and, in
fact, was the first officer in COM
mand of troops that landed in the
island to form the army of Cuban
pacihcation. His record has been
uniformly excellent all through his
military career.

Dancing as a Recreation.

Machine Gun Training Center,
Camp Hancock, Ca, Nov. SOTO
the Editor of The Bee: 1 have been
reading with great deal of interest
the accounts in Omaha papers Of
the discussion in regard to dancing
in the community centers.
If the community center Is to full
fill its promise of being the neigh
bOrhod club house" it must make
provision for the favorite recreation
Of its patrons When the people of
community choose dancing as one
form Of their recreation, who can
deny them the privilege?
The only question to be discussed
is one of proper regulation. There
is no harm in the dance If properly
regulated. This social relaxation
has been tried in community centers
in many progressive cities. and In
practically every case has proved
successful. AS in Omaha, at first
there We're critics who fought the
mere suggestion of conducting dane
es in the school houses. Yet in how
many instances were these critics
successful in causing the dances to
be abandoned, after once being at
tempted?
The issue should be left to the
community to decide. Commissioner
Falconer has shown himself to be a
representative dictated by the inter
ests of the people Of the city In
this matter he has acted in accord
ance with the wishes of the majority.
He can be relied upon to see that
proper regulation is maintained in
any activity conducted by his depart
ment. Regulation by formation Of
clubs. in which membership depends
upon the good behavior and CO.
operation of the members, Is an ideal
arrangement.

Washington Post: The war seems
to have assured self-government
everywhere except the District Of
Columbia.
Baltimore American: Perhaps the
most cruel punishment that could
be visited upon the kaiser would be
to let him live with his regrets.
New York Herald: Americans are
not worrying, nor do they intend to
worry, about the internal economic
conditions of Germany. Whatever
it is, it has been created by the
Germans. They must sit at the board
which they have laid for themselves
Brooklyn Eagle: Private competi-
tive methods will never be restored
in the railroad business, according to
Winthrop NJ. Daniels, chairman or
the Interstate Commerce commits
sion, but just how the people are to
be reconciled to double rates in
peace times is not yet explained.
Kansas City Times: Another rea-
son why German ENJOYS should not
be sent to the United States at once:
The American boats are just now
engaged in the work of sweeping the
Atlantic for mines laid along the
coast by German U-boats, and the
trip might not be safe for the en-
voys.

ACROSS THE DEEP.

Bound for a distant foreign shore
The good ship sails away
a" ships have often sailed before.
And yet. we pause today
To breathe a prayer of earnest zeal
That He who rules above
Nay guard the path Of those who sail
Upon this task of love.
lis love of fellow-man which calls
Across the wide expanse;
The memory OF a million pals
Illumes the way to France
the babes and mothe.s who beseeched
Through tongues forever stIlled
Have sent message which has reached
heart with pity filled
Did they who died on Flanders field
Their life blood shed In vain?
Shall not their sacrifices yield
A full return for pain?
They died that swords Of tyrants might
BE cast into the sea;
And dying. saw the holy light
That set a whole world free.
IT'S love which calls across the foam,
We pause to breathe prayer
That love of Him, Of country, home,
May have its portion there;
The tyrant's sword is cast away
The dead died not In vain;
Thank God, we live TO see the day
When Peace alone shall reign.
