Turkey Out of the War.

Reports from London that Turkey has asked
for peace on terms said to be tantamount to I'M
conditional surrender have support of recent
events Such course has been foreshadowed
for weeks, and might have been looked for, even
before the collapse of Bulgaria. Political
changes at Constantinople have followed severe
reverses in the field, and Turkish affairs seem
to have definitely passed from under German
control.
1t may be taken for granted that the present
government did not bring itself to accept the
inevitable until all hope of assistance from Ger
many had disappeared To speculate on the
final outcome of the event is idle for the present.
What it means, in fine for the military situation
is opening another front to easy access by the
Allies. The Berlin Cohstantinople railroad is
now made available, and this advantage istoo
great to be overestimated
Along with the report from London comes
one from Italy to the effect that General Diaz
has received from the Austrian commander
request for an immediate cessation of hostilities.
This has been sent to the supreme military
council Should it be we'll founded, the fate OF
Austria too, has been decided. With the disin-
tegration of that empire, we face the POSSIBLE
ity, pointed out by Paris authority, of 12,0O0,-
600 German Austrians throwing their lot with
Germany Such course would slightly add to
the strength of the Germans for defense, and
might have the effect of prolongng their re-
sistance
The conference at Paris is said to have de-
cided on terms for an armistice on the western
front, which have been communicated to Ger
many. If this be true, we may soon know if the
Hun is willing to submit to unconditional sur
render and justice, or if we must fight on. For
either end Americans must be prepared.

A Typical German Procedure.

When the Allies entered Ostend they were
amazed at the profuson of Belgian flags which
greeted them. Everywhere the emblem was on
display, but the. wonderment was somewhat al
layed on investigation. 1t develops that several
days before the evacuation German traders en-
tered the city and "surreptitously" sold Belgian
flags to the residents Such procedure might
astonish ordinary mortals, but not the German,
the devious and tortuous workings of whose
mind tend steadfastly to the main chance. He
could not hold his prey, but he would get all
he could out of it, even by such an act of con-
structive treachery as dealing with the enemy
through selling flags. 1t is typical of the Hun,
and when the Allies finally come to ehter Berlin
they need not wonder if they find Unter-den-
Linden festooned with Old Glory, the union
jack and the tri-color of France Nothing is
absurd to the German if it bring him pecuni-
airy profit

Duplicity Of Democratic Machine.

Brother Charley" Bryan explodes a shell
of largest caliber in the camp of the Hitchcock
enzollern forces. Dispassionately and deliber-
ately he analyses the campaign of deception
and dupcity carried on by the democratic ma
chine, and exposes the shams and hypocrisy of
its practices, Showing how assiduously the
manipulators of the party control have sought
secretly to cultivate a working alliance with the
Nonpartisan league, at the time when Keith
Neville and his State Council of Defense were
publicly denouncing the organization as I'M
patriotic and disloyal he makes the point that
honesty requires that both be repudiated That
this sentiment of the leader of the Bryan ele-
ment of the democratic party is shared by
large proportion of the voters who have fol-
lowed the political fortunes of the peerless
leader" is plain from other evidences. The

NEBRASKA IN THE HOUSE.

Nebraskas delegation in the lower house OF
congress is at present divided equally between
the two parties, and all of the incumbents, with
a single exception, are before the people for re-
election None Of them, it must be admitted,
have records registering 100 per cent on scale
applied by win-the-war enthusiasts to gauge
support of preparedness measures before our
entrance into the war, and the republicans
voted wrong on the war resolution, but immedi-
ately came out stronger for pushing the war to
speedy and complete victory than their demo-
cratic colleagues. As a consequence IT reports
are not misleading all three republican congress
men from Nebraska stand better with their con-
stituents than the three democratic congress
men do with theirs
In the First district Congressman Reavis
has proved himself an influential and serviceable
representative and should be readily returned
over his inexperienced and comparatively I'M
known democratic opponent.
In this Second district big Jeff" has good
Lead over Lobeck, the democratic incumbent,
who has been doing messenger boy work for
the kaiser.
In the Third district it looks as if Dan
Stephens had exhausted his ability to play both
ends to the middle His war record is as bad
as it could we'll be. The republican nominee,
Judge R. E. Evans, has the qualifications and
the character to make good as his successor.
In the Fourth district alone the voters must
choose between two men without previous leg
islative service The republican is NJ. O. Nc
Laughln, head of York colege-energetic, sub
stantial, progressive-and the democrat is Will
liam H. Smith present auditor and former news
paper man, cog in the democratic machine.
The district has a republican representative now
and has no good reason for changing
In the Fifth district Congressman Shallen-
berger is asking another term despite his record
of obstruction to the prosecution Of the war.
His republican opponent William E. Andrews,
once represented the district in congress with
force and ability, and will do 50 again if the
voters make a discriminating choice.
In the Sixth nothing remains open to debate.
"Uncle Nose" Kinkad, the old reliable, will be
reelected by colossal majority, while Charlie
Pool is accorded the privilege of pretending to
run against him as the latest democratic sacri-
flee.
Nebraska in the next house is therefore,
pretty sure to have republican delegation.

Iobeck,s Record OF somnolence.

Omaha, Oct 2S.--To the Editor OF
The Bee: I proposed to investigate
Charles Otto Lobeck's campaign ac-
acknowledgement that Hes ali right"
and. in accordance, spent some time
in the rather tedious task of reading
the Congressional Record.
Having scrutinized carefully the
congressional activities Just prior to
and at the time Of the declaration
of war, would term Mr.. Lobeck the
most peaceful and composed con-
gresham that ever took up desk
room in the capitol. If Charles Otto
ever had anything to say in those
stormy times 1t mus. have been In
whisper, or else the clerk failed to
hear him.
This may be explained by the
World-Herald, which says that Lo-
beck worked hand in glove with
Senator Hitchcock. This removes
all doubt as to the record of our
jovial congressman and places him
in the proper light. Charles Otto
has, l believe, referreds with some
pride to note Of endorsement given
him by President Wilson for his
loyal support" AS long as Mr..
Lobeck remains the same passive
representative he has proven In the
past the president can overlook
Otto's little shortcomings. At least,
he will not seriously hamper the adj
ministration as so many other dem
ocrats have done.
But do the voters Of this district
want such representation Support
ing the president should mean more
than the mere casting Of a ballot.
Mr.. Wilson relies on the members
Of the senate and house to give their
active support to the war measures
and assistance in perfecting them.
Lobeck has plainly failed to do this.
Further than this, lack Of compe-
tent and efficient representation has
deprived Omaha and vicinity Of
many appropriations and favors to
which 1t was justly entitled. In
cluded in these may be mentioned
the failure to locate cantonment
here, where mothers Of Omaha and
this district might visit their sons
without unnecessary trouble. Des
Moines, with one main line railroad,
secured Camp Dodge. Omaha, with
seven main line railroads, was over
looked. Why?
Let us elect a representative who
will be credit to our growing city
and who will protect its interests in
Washington, besides lending every
aid in the successful prosecution Of
the war. ]. B. s.

President Made Mistake.

Omaha, Oct. 29.-To the Editor Of
The Bee: In view of President Will
sons suggestions that the war can
only be successfully carried on by
democrats, 1t might be pertinent to
inquire whether the formation Of
coalition governments by Great
Britain and France has seriously az
fected the conduct Of the war by
these nations. There are some Of
us who have a lurking notion that
Americas part in the conflict might
be more successfully waged by dem
ocrats and republicans than by DEM
ocrats without republicans.
There is also a feeling among
some Of us that II there Is any merit
in the presidents desire for con-
gress of his own party members the
suggestion would have come with
better grace from others than the
president. In spite of the eloquence
Of the presidents appeal his projec-
ton Of his own personality into the
political controversy will do much
to. weaken his power and to destroy
the prestige of America in the peace
negotiations. He has taken the sur
est possible way to arouse an unfor-
tunate political discussion, as he has
evidently overlooked the fact that
this Is America and not Germany.
The democratic brand will not make
a weak American congressman into
a full-blooded Yankee fighter
against Hun autoUacy, even though
that brand is applied by the presi-
dent himself H. M. JAMES.
