Berlin and the Bolsheviki.

Allied and American troops are to be used
as police in Berlin in an effort to check disorder
there. 1t is of concern to the world that Ger
many be preserved if possible from the chaos
into which Russia has fallen. Ebert, Schiede-
man and their associates do not seem to be
strong enough to establish the republic they
aimed at, while Liebknecht is gaining new
strength for his program of destruction each
day. What part the junkers are playing in this
is not clear. Each side accuses the other of
having the active assistance of that element
which would most advantage through the fail
ure to establish popular government. The one
fortunate circumstance is that soldiers of strong
governments can be put on guard in time to
check any such outbreaks as followed the end
Of the cars government in Russia. Lenine
and Trotzky were out of reach at that time and
worked their will practically without interior
ence. Liebknecht and his crew cannot achieve
such results unhindered. Berlin ought to be
saved from the bolsheviki, if for no other reason
than that the German people may be made not
only self-supporting, but placed in a position
to pay the fines that will be laid against them.
Wrecking the government would only post
pone the ends of justice.

Interstate Commerce Commissions Views.

The suggestions and recommendations con-
tanned in the report of the Interstate Commerce
commission indicate sane view of the trans
portation problem. Summed up, they admit
that the policy of the past was mistaken one,
and whether the railroads be returned to their
former owners or be retained by the govern
ment, rules formerly laid down for their opera
ton should never again be enforced
If single year of experience has been suffi-
cient to convince the federal authorities of the
correctness of most of what the railroad man
ayers asked for, the experiment has been we'll
worth while. 1t will not have the effect of
turning the country over to the tender mercies
of greedy combination of corporations, but it
will prevent the commission of another such
blunder as that which required the Union Pacific
to withdraw entirely from ownership of the
Central Pacific, turning that line over to the
Southern Pacific, the court unfolding the fiction
that the Union and Central lines were COM
petitors instead of being integral parts of what
should be unified whole.
Effects of that amazing decision cannot now
be overcome but the commerce of the country
can be relieved from serious burdens by the
adoption of rules to continue in more sensible
way the cooperation made possible under the
forcble pooling brought about by the federal
administration.

BAD LABOR LEADERSHIP.

The strike of the street car men in Omaha
is furnishing conspicuous example of bad labor
eadership-leadersh of the kind that is detri
mental to, if not subversve OF, the real interests
of organized labor.
1t was bad enough to call walkout at
3 o'clock in the morning without notice or
warning to the thousands of fellow wage
earners depending on the street cars to take
them to their places OF work.
1t was still worse to hout the War Labor
board to whom the men had previously ap-
pealed and through whose hands they had Sc
cured substantial wage concessions which they
en- oying.
Whatever sympathy that naturally goes out
to the laborer in all such cases might have been
with the men at the beginning is evaporating
because Of this indefensible action. The sophis-
try by which the international organizer seeks
to avoid responsibility is unworthy even OF a
lost cause. That award was accepted III good
faith by the men who benefited through it. If
they later formed themselves into union they
did not thereby change their status so far as
their moral obligation is concerned, and
it will take some fine ir-splitting to relieve
them of the legal obligation entaied. They
took the increase in wages and other forms Of
relief, and are equally held to the provision that
requires continuous operation of the cars
The Bee feels that it can speak thus plainly
as friend OF organized labor because we our
selves deal with labor in collective capacity
and have no objection whatever to collective
bargaining with any union of skilled mechanics
fully able to furnish the competent workmen re-
quired and proved responsibility for living up to
agreements But how can any so-called union
hope to command the confidence needful for an
agreement to which both sides will be bound if
its leaders repudiate finding such as the car
men secured from the War Labor board while
holding the other party to its terms? Would the
proposed union contract now demanded be as
worthless when it came to fulflment of obliga-
tons by them as the War boards award? Sup
pose car company officials undertook to violate
that award and to hide behind bubble in doing
so, what call would quickly come rightful
and righteous for discipline or punishment?
In saying this, we hold no brief for the street
railway company. Whatever shortcomings may
be charged against it in its treatment of its men
should have prompt remedy whenever proved,
and the demands of the public, too, for better
service should be answered. To stop street car
service altogether, however, as the strikers have
done, regardless of every legal and moral obi
cation to carry out the war boards finding, is
sure to react on organized labor as whole,
which in final analysis is always the chief suf-
ferer from bad labor leadership

The Kaiser as q Bluffer

The collapse of the German empire carries
with it a lesson that Americans can afford to
profit by, for belief in the efficacy of bluff is
one of our besetting sins. Useful it may be at
the poker table and sometimes at the critical or
emotional turns of life. but to rely on it as
regular means of livelihood is to court inev-
table disaster. And when we hear it said of an
expert buffer that "he gets away with it'-even
as the burglar with the plate-we may be rea-
sonably sure of that buffers finish.
For years the kaiser, to employ the idiom of
the unthinking, got away with it" as has no
other buffer, gentle or common, of all his con-
temporares. The efforts of the various sover-
eigns and statesmen associated with him in his
criminal career were transparent and ineffect-
i've in comparison. On his own blasphemous
assumption that the Supreme Being was his
partner in crime, looking with the eye of ap-
proval on his reckless violations of every one of
the divine commands, he erected the hollow
pyramid of vain pretense that came crashing
down to earth when he himself fed from the
wrath of people whom he had brutalized
Among the ruins may be discovered the broken
fragments of his financial, food and "unconquer-
able army" bluffs. The divine right of kings
bluff has been smashed to smithereens, to quote
from the Irish lexicon
1t is gratifying to know that our own nation
was instrumental in calling this monumental
bluff. We can profit still further if we take
heed of the serr< that il preaches.-New York

accepted as indicating "cooling-out" process

New Date for Thanksgiving

1t is inevitable that Armlstice day should
henceforth be widely observed in this country
and in every other one of the countries allied
against the central empires. Its observance may
quite conceivably extend even to some of the
neutral countries. 1t will become an interna-
tional holiday, if it does not become absolutely
world holiday.
Under the circumstances why should not the
United States make first move by declaring
the day national holiday of thanksgiving in
substitution, if necessary, for the present
Thanksgiving day now celebrated on the last
Thursday of November? The shift in dates
involved would not be of material importance.
Thanksgiving was set late in November when
we were essentially an agricultural people, and
the housing of the crops was matter of para
mount national significance. OF course. the
successful garnering of the seasons produce is
really matter of as vital Importance as ever,
but comparatively few of the people of the ma
ton think much about it on Thanksgiving day,
and those that do could be quite as thankful on
November II as they could two weeks later.
We are inclined to the belief that change in
date in recognition of an event for which we
will forever be most grateful would serve to
give new and vital significance to an annual oc-
casion now too often only perfunctoriy OBJ
served or else made purely an occasion for

Count Ottokar Czernin, mentioned
as one of those likely to be brought
to trial by the Vienna government
as having been responsible tor the
war, held the post of foreign minis
ter under the late Hungarian
government. In the events that led
up to the war he played no inconsid-
cradle part, having acted as first ad-
wiser to the embassy at Petrograd
during the Balkan wars and direct
ing its business much of the time
during the absence of the ambassa-
dor. Some three months after the
signing of the treaty of Bucharest
he was appointed to represent Aus
ria-Hungary in the Roumanian cap
ital and the role he played from that
time until Roumania's Intervention
is now a matter of common knowl-
edge. Count Czernin belongs to the
Bohemian conservative arlstocracy.
He was numbered among the init
mate friends of the Archduke Franz
Ferdinand and also enjoyed the con-
