Memorials to SoIdiers.

Omaha, Feb. 22.-To the Editor
Of The Bee: The newspapers con-
tain divers suggestions as to the
form of a memorial structure in
honor of the memory of fallen
heroes in the great war. At the
close of the civil war many shafts
were erected in public parks and
cemeteries with now and then a
costly bronze statue, placed upon a
massive pedestal.
At the close of the Spanish Amer
lean war many new memorials were
constructed, one of which now
graces the center section of Pros
pect Hill cemetery. In other ceme-
teries there are lesser monuments in
memory of the soldiers.
In this connection it is interesting
to note that the Forest Lawn Gene
terry association has just set aside a
section of that great cemetery for
the burial places of soldiers, In the
center of which a circle 30 feet in
diameter has been reserved and do
mated and dedicated exclusively for
the burial Of fallen heroes of the
great war. Not only are spaces pro-
vided for single graves, but also for
the families of soldiers buried there.
Whatever may be done elsewhere
in the city to place permanent me-
MORALS to the memory of the sol
diers, would 1t not be in perfect
keeping with the sentiments of the
subject to advocate movement
looking to a public invitation to all
citizens to make contributions to a
monument fund in order that an inn
posing structure, the embodiment OF
sentiments Of respect and affection

There was something really Napoleonc
about the way the Austrian invaders looted
Italian art. It was several years before Italy
got back from Paris part of what it had lost.
But the Austrian plumber has been already sur
rendered, and from Vienna los fine canvases
will 60 back to Italy Most of these were paint
ed between l450 and 1850 and belonging to the
Venetian school, are the pride Of Italy.
In Venetian galleries there were So speci-
mems of Paolo Neronese. OF these eight were
taken Twenty sacred canvases of Bonifazio
Veronese were carried off. Bartolomeo Vivar-
ini's "St. Ambrose" and Saint With Red Man
te9 are recovered, along with Vittore Carpac-
clos Christ Adored by Angels" 1890. Also
the madonna of the Orange Tree" and The
Martyrdom of ST. Mark by Giovanni Battista
da Conegliano, better known as Gina da Con-
egliano.
From the Sansovino library the Austrians
had taken Tintoretto's portrait of Aristotle
From other galleries they had seized some of
Tintoretto's Portraits of the Doges" II Tin
toretto-he was the son Of dyer, and took the
name from that-belongs to a slightly later
period than the other old masters mentioned
His real name was Jacopo Robusti he died in
l594s He was pupil OF Titan, but soon quar-
relied with his master. More than a hundred
OF his portraits, of established authenticity, are
in different galleries of Europe.
Just incidentally it may be noted that five
Of the II portraits of the doges which are given
up to Italy have long been in Vienna galleries.
The same thing is true of Yivarini's "St Am
brose." 1t may be> that Austria, for the sake
OF avoiding friction, is surrendering more than
the recent invaders distracted from Italy, or
balancing some thefts that cannot be traced
with equivalent art values.
Italy, proud Of its art treasures, seeks in
every way TO protect them, and Croesuses from
other lands cannot buy and carry away any
thing, except by smuggling It out of the coun-
try II is glad of course to get back the gems
81 which it was robbed, and the world in gem
eral sympathies with its atisiaction.-Brook-

congress il 4 Mad Scramble.

At noon on Tuesday next the SiXty-ffth
congress expires. Between now and then it is
expected to enact large amount of important
legislation, much of which has not yet been re-
ported from committees, and a great deal that
has not been considered by either house or
senate in detail. Mr. Wilson practically has or
dered this DONE He has said he intends to re-
turn to France next week, almost Immediately
on the adjournment of congress, and that he
will not call an extra session until after he has
concluded his business abroad, which may be in
June. The president, as we'll as the party
leaders, is anxious to have all the legislation
in which they are vitality concerned nailed down
by the present session of congress. 1t will be
impossible for the republicans in the Sixty-sixth
congress to pass any measure that has not APP
proval of the executive therefore no law passed
by this congress can be repealed or amended
by the next unless the president assents. To
carry out this program, then the world will be
treated to the grandest effort at high speed law
making ever witnessed. 1t will not matter what
plumbers may creep in, what mistakes may be
made; the democrats have wasted the time, and
now they are going to finish with a grand
scramble to get under the wire with a tremen-
dous load Of vital legislation. What does it mat
teri The country pays the bills, and the tax
levy for 1920 is already fixed.

The Art of Manners

The French have a deep-grounded sense
of fine manners. Their instinct of politeness
crops out often in ways which take the rest of
the world by surprise
Capt Andre Tardieu has announced that a
commemorative medal is to be given by the
French government to every American who
took part in the war Every American soldier
who was in France is to receive a souvenir card
bearing his name and the signatures of Presi-
dent Poincare and Premier Clenienceau. Also
a pamphlet expressing Frances gratitude for
his services.
Every subscriber to French war loan was
signed by President Poincare What other gov
eminent would have thought of taking the pains
to recognize its obligation in this felcitous per-
sonal way? Attentions of this sort humanize
the relations between governments and individ-
uals They warm the heart. France has given
the rest Of the world an inspiring lesson in the
practice of official tact and courtesy.-New

DeveIop The water Power.

Omaha. Feb. 22,--To the Editor
of The Bee: The reconstruction
congress passed resolutions favoring
water power development. This
would be one Of the greatest things
to be done now. 1t would employ
labor in real wealth producing work
which would help confidence and be
a benefit to the world Some
schemes to employ labor on nom
wealth producing work are of minor
Importance as they lead to more con-
fusing depths. Water power will
cheaper production and be good for
every one. There is the system of
syphon for streams of low sandy
banks and piling and concrete for
intake for gravity flume. The cost
would be comparable to a drainage
ditch of the same capacity except
the intake. Push this along and
help build up the country. Expand
to the limit when good comes from
it. Water power. electrify, multiply,
produce and deliver the goods.
We can't keep trading stamps
with one another and get confidence.

And as II in answer there came a
chorus from a nearby pond:
"Cro-ak, cro-ak. we hear your call,
Though we have slept since early
fall"
The chorus was yawny, drowsy
and feeble, but to Peggy II sounded
delightfully."- familiar.
THE Frogs are singing. Spring is
here!" she cried.
HI vi, Spring dare not come while
we are here. and we're going to stay
all year long" yelled the Frost Imps,
But the frogs. creeping out Of their
pond, paid no attention to them.
With General Croaker, Peggy's old
friend. leading the chorus, they
chanted their spring song over and
over again. And once more Prince
Bonnie Blue Bell sounded his trum-
pet.
"springtlme, springtime with bugle
Calls to the earth: Arise! Re-
joice,'"
From the south there came a
twittering answer:
Home we comet Home we come!
From the South, home we comet"
Two birds flew into view and cir
cled around the fire,
"Mr. and Mrs. Robin. first Of the
birds of Spring, welcomed" shouted
Peggy.
"Hi vi! hear the foolish frogs and
robins Singing because they think
we are going away" shrieked the
Frost Imps. Lets freeze 'em up!"
With that, the tallest Imp of them
all. grabbed Off his own head and
hurled 1t at General Croaker. The
general lodged, and the head stuck
in the mud. Quick as wink Gem
eral Croaker and the other frogs
grabbed up the head and threw II
into the water; there 1t disappeared
from view. But now others of the
Imps, led by the headless tall chap.
ran to the edge of the pond and
those who had heads breathed an
icy blast toward the frogs. The
frogs, in fright, dived quickly into
the waterfall but General Croaker.
He wasn't quite fast enough, AS
the icy breath OF the Frost Imps
touched the pond It froze the water
in an instant. And in that instant
General Croaker was caught, his
head diving under water and his
feet sticking up through the newly
formed ice.
HE will drown" cried Peggy.
Billy seized blazing stick of
wood and leaped to the rescue. He
drove off the Frost Imps by waving
the blazing stick at them, and then

BY the hill where we halted the Hun
Near Suicide Lane" and Death Valley
Where the boche's retreat was begun
There's an acre OF crude little crosses,
Where we buried young Sergeant Doe
And a crowd of his cOmrade crusaders,
Whose names we will never quite know
Someday this road will be teeming
With pilgrims who venture to go
To humanity's holy Of HOLES
On the road Of Bois de Belleau,
Some will be looking for brother,
Others for father or son;
Many for sweetheart or husband
Or comrade who stayed with his gun.

When the flowers bloom on the grave
And may they be proud OF their comrades
And glad for the gift that they gave

Grand Island, Neb., Feb. 19.-To
the Editor of The Bee: To the
casual observer it would look as
though the present legislature was
making very bad record in some
matters, especially in the increased
taxation burden that it is placing
on the shoulders of the people by
increasing the salaries of our public
officers. If it was generally known
to be a fact that the present high
prices would continue, there wouldi
seem to be some plausible reason for
the rise in salaries they are making,
but when 1t is an admitted fact that
the present high prices are sure to
come down and have already COM
menced their downward course, it is
evident that there is no justification
for the change.
The republican party is in the sad
die in this state, after having had
lay-off, and If it wishes to have the
continued support of the people 1t
must use wisdom and prudence.
One thing more wish to speak
Of is the bill to prohibit public
dances on Sundays. If the public
dances are as great an evil as they
are claimed to be, which I do not
question, why suppress them only
one day in the week? If the inn
moral and degrading influence Of
these dances is blighting and ruin
ing the lives of the youth of the
country, will prohibiting them one
day out Of seven make matters APP
preciably better?
Shame on the man or legislator
who would let evil run riot six days
in the week and soothe his con-
science by stopping it one day in
seven. For years the saloons were
closed one day in seven, but the
liquor curse continued till it was
legislated out Of business entirely.
This thing of making law to stop
wrongdoing merely on Sundays has
the ear marks Of fanatical legisla-
ton, minus wisdom.

err. But the water put out the blaz-

this, darted at Billy. He snatched
UP General Croaker and fled back

In the meantime Peggy had heard

the Robins tumbling to the earth.
