Great Britain and the Oil Wells.

While the British are devoted to the League
of Nations and whatever possibilities it may con-
tain in the way of prevention of future wars, the
imperial government is nursing no decisions
as to certain contingencies that might arise. 1t
has participated in all the debates at Paris, pub
lie and otherwise, has heard deal about the
naturalization Of its railways, mines and other
industries. kept more or less sympathetic ear
open to Ireland but it has not neglected to
apply knowledge gained at tremendous cost
For example, the war taught England how
much of its safety as we'll as its progress de-
ponds on OIL. Therefore the imperial govern
ment is just now consolidating its oil interests
to the end that for the future it may be supplied
through British-controled sources. Americans
are concerned in this because of the fact that
certain British-owned companies are extern
sively operating in our domestic oil fields.
Whether or not it was true that the turmoil in
Mexico grew out Of rivalry between American
and British claimants for the monopoly Of the
Mexican oil fields, the war brought to these
governments such community of interest that
they have collectively repressed Carranza's ra-
pacty and kept the stream of fuel and power
from Tampico flowing steadily. But the Brit
1871 have eAtchsiVe ihteleotS III AeAoS oiio oA'o
homa as we'll, and are going into other regions
in quest of oil.
The Monroe doctrine may not touch this
case in any sense, but the policy adopted at
London ought to give an impression that Brit
tania is not putting all her eggs into one basket
Another world war may never come, but if it
does, it will find the British navy ready for
action just as it was in August, 1914, when it
took up its tremendous task of saving the
world from German aggression. Americans
may perhaps, learn lesson from this example.

That Dog Ordinance.

That Dog Ordinance.
Omaha, March 26.-To the Editor
Of The Bee: ! notice that the city
commissioners are about to pass an
ordinance to prohibit dogs from bark
ing in the city limits. That surely
is of vast moment to the inhabitants
of this city, as it has much to do
with their welfare for generations to
come.
would suggest that the city COM
missioners pass an ordinance to pro-
hibit geese from making a noise, to
prohibit roosters from Growing and
to prohibit hens from cackling when
they lay an egg, to prohibit ducks
from quacking and to prohibit cats
from meowing. It seems to me that
there are far more important sub
jects to be considered than the bark
ing CT a few dogs.
That ordinance should be entitled,
"An Ordinance to Promote Discord
Among Neighbors." Until people on
earth are agels, such an ordinance
is out Of place, for there are always
some who have it in for their neigh
bors and this ordinance will simply
encourage those who are spiteful to-
wards others.
If the city commissioners want to
suppress noises, they should stop the
noisy motorcycles from going at so
and so miles an hour, making more
noise than hundreds of dogs and en-
dangering the lives of all who may
be crossing streets when those speed
1naniacs come along. Then the
switching engines some times at
night will give out the most terrific
screeches that can be heard all over
Omaha, and Keep it up by the hour
st times between midnight and 8
o'clock in the morning. The screech-
ing of the engines in the switching
yards makes more noise than the
banks of a thousand dogs would
make If all parked at once.
A dog that will. not bark is not
worth having. Lives have more
than once been saved by the barking
of dogs, burglars have been scared
away by the banks of dogs, property
has been saved from thieves by the
barking Of dogs and they have
many times given warning of danger
by their barks. But there are al
ways some people who have it in
for dogs and I suppose we have to
put up with such people among us.

of The Bee: The city planning COM

finest memorial that city could

Monuments and statues comment
Grating the city's history could be
placed from time to time along the
roadway and beautiful trees, shrub
cry and flowers which undoubtedly
would be planted there, would make
our river front a scene that we
would be pround Of.
Another. good feature about this
type of memorial is that instead of
deteriorating with age, 1t becomes
more enhanced with beauty as the
years go by.

will get behind this proposal and see
that the city acquires the property
before the cost of the land makes

the Editor Of The Bee: As read
in your paper the awful treatment
those poor unfortunate girls in the
Geneva school have received my soul
cries out for vengeance. Never did l
read anything that has occurred in
Nebraska that has so appealed to
my feelings. And can it be possible
that our officials in power will toler-
ate a man or woman SO low in prin-
ciple any longer to hold the office,
here in Nebraska where we boast of
higher ideals of true Americanism, to
tolerate anything so vile. Mr.. Nc
Auley has forfeited all claims to
manhood-his place is in the "pen."
Kaiserism and Turkish atrocities
fade when compared to his abuse of
those girls here in a civilized coun-
try. l plead and implore for the
sake of humanity to intercede for
better conditions and meet out to
those vile wretches their just pun
isihment. ORRIE A. HARVEY.
