Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1919-02-09

Every soldier proudly maintains
that his organization is the finest,
and no one viii ever be able to
change that opinion.
The very same debate was in the
program twenty years ago, after the
Spanish war, only then the argu-
ment was narrowed down TO regi-
soth One Of Best
We are one correspondent who
doesn't happen to have a favorite
division, probably for the reason
that we were never attached to any
particular outfit for any length Of
time, but were thrown more or less
in cnnection with with all the line di-
visions at different periods. Where
fore. what we say on the subject
is more the reflection of conser-
sus Of opinion than a personal ex-
preston.
And while unaniniity on any one
phase of the discussion is difficult
10 obtain, there is a proposition on
which there seems to be pretty gem
cral agreement
1t is that one of the best Of the
national army or draft divisions, If
nos indeed the very best, is the
Sqia,
This doesn't necessarily mean
that It was the best fighting division

respect-it means that in every
thing that goes to make up fine
military unit it stands out. Many
regular army men rate it among the
best divisions of the whole army.
All Agree TITS Fine Outfit"
You can start terrific conversa-
tionaf test any time by comparing
the First and Second divisions. You
can get up a warm debate any mo-
ment by suggesting that this or that
National Guard division is greatest.
But when the 8oth is mentioned
both regular army men and national
guardsmen nod their heads and say,
Its fine outfit" They don't adj
NIT that it is better than their own,
of course. but they agree upon its
merit without cavil.

are said to grind with such exceed

war by Gen. Leonard Wood, no

head Of the division, but was turned
back. That was bitter blow to
him, but he ought to find some con-
ISOLATION in the record Of his d.

en- among the American divisions
sent to the Rhine.
After all, army divisions are made
by their officers, as the men them
selves are exactly alike in the raw.
Therefore, it is needless to add that
the officers of the 89th are an ex-
ceptionally fine lot.
We say this without knowing a
single one of them personally.
The Soth was trained by General
Wood at Camp Funston, in Kansas.
It is made up of an all Missouri and
all Kansas regiment, with a scatter
ing of members from Nebraska.
New Mexico, Colorado, the middle
western and the Rocky mountain
states.
You can tell member Of the 8oth

tary bearing.
The Part of Lonely Soldier.
When you come to figure it out
several things in this war are train
ing back to a lonely old soldier in
Kansas who was not allowed to
come over. We do not know what
they claim to have on Leonard
Wood, though a couple of people
have tried to tell us, but this fact
remains:
There are many thousands of eff
ficient officers in our victorious
army who are, hguratively speaking,
children of his brain, without whom
we might not now have an army of
occupation on the Rhine.
There is, moreover, in that army
OF occupation every division of fight
ing men who are products of his
hands.
1t seems to US that one man could
not do very much more.

Game Full of Risks.

Sometimes the disguised mer-
chairman has a rough time while
waiting the opportunity to make
sure of the enemy.
On one occasion the enemy open
ed FIRE at long range, but his aim
was poor, and he approached at
full speed. From close quarters he
sent shell through the poop of the
merchantmen, which exploded a
depth charge and blew an officer
from his control position. Two more
hits were scored on the poop, which
was now burning fercely..
Soon a big explosion blew the
four-inch gun and the guns crew
into the air. The gun landed for
ward on the we'll deck. At the time
only one gun would bear on the sub
marine, and this opened fire.
The enemy, surprised that the ship
was not really abandoned, hurriedly
dived, but it is possible that one hit
was obtained on the conning-to tower
before he disappeared. Hose were
turned on the poop, which was by
this time mass Of flames, the deck
being red hot.
Smelling a Cripple.
The submarine then fired a tor
pedo, which struck near the engine
room. For an hour she cruised
about submerged. Then, as the
merchantmen had been torpedoed
and was badly on fire, she deemed
it safe to break surface and it came
up directly astern, from which po-
sition it shelled the ship at a range
of few hundred yards, nearly all
the shells being direct hits or falling
near the boats which had been low
cred.
Two exploded on the bridge, tear
ing it to pieces. A signal for as
sistance was sent out, and very
shortly afterward a destroyer ar
rived. It was one thing for the sub
marine to tackle crippled and blaz-
ing merchantmen; destroyer was
another matter, and at first sight of
the warship the enemy disappeared.

rine, and the last hit, which holed
her just below the fore deck, caused
a very big explosion, throwing a
vast column Of water high into the
air.
1t was ali over in a brief space,
and within three minutes Of the first
hit the submarine sank-three
crowded minutes Of glorious vic
tory.
Another Encounter.
Further honors remained in store
for the same ship, for later in the
day she ran in with another sub
marine, which slowly overlook her,
opening fire when about two miles
off.
After the sixth round the ship was
stopped and boat put off from her.
To all outward appearance the ship
was abandoned. From a position
away on the port beam the sub
marine maintained her fire till the
boat had pulled clear of the ship.
Thereafter her maneuvers were
strange. For some time she re-
manned stopped exactly abeam; then
suddenly she began to approach the
ship and was soon travelling at her
full surface speed. When 600 yards
away she began to submerge, and
she remained submerged till she was
within about fifty yards of the ship.
when she rose rapidly.
As the hull appeared one of the
decoy ships afterguns fired, and the
shell struck just below the coming
tower, piercing the rounded side a
foot above the water.
A flash of brilliant blue flame and
dense volume of yellow smoke
came from the hole. Almost sinful
taneously another shell struck for
ward, and the bows were enveloped
in a cloud of black and yellow
smoke and spray. The submarine
gave convulsive lurch, and with a
loud noise of gurgling and kissing
plunged down, bows foremost, leav-
ing on the surface a great pool of
oil.

"DIRECT ACTION"

The senate did we'll to order an investigation of
Bolshevist, I. WI w. and other propaganda of revolution
by violence in this country.
1t is here. and 1t is busy; and while its followers are
not many, nor likely ever to be many, still Russia has
shown that they can be mischievous out of all proper
ton to their numbers. for not even in Russia do they
constitute anywhere near a majority.
Whatever they may call themselves, the subjects of
this investigation are men who plan an, autocratic rule
of the "proletariat" achieved by what they call direct
action by which they mean sabotage, disruption of In
dustry, riot and murder. They despise the ballot. The
Socialist who looks forward to a cooperative common
wealth" achieved by political action they hold to be a
feeble, futile triher.
There should be no dallying with such elements.
They are potential rebels, and sooner or later they must
be treated as such. 1t is no more sensible to sit idly by
while such propaganda is afoat than it would be to sub
init tamely while aliens planned kaiser rule in America,
or while one section planned to secede from the United
States.
Nothing could be more amusing than the habit these
elements have of claiming the right of free speech. free
Iassemblage and free press-claiming, in other words,
the right to the full protection of laws which they seek
by violence to destroy. They claim these rights while
they plot to destroy the nation which guarantees them-
though not to criminals or criminal conspiracies-and
despite the very obvious fact that nowhere on earth have
the rights Of free speech, free assemblage and free press
been more completely extinguished than in soviet Russia.

Anybody who plans to overthrow the American gov
