Memorials to the Soldiers.


Omaha, March 21.--To the Editor
agree that every soldier who sacri-
feed his life for this country has
earned the honor of having his name
distinctly recorded in the Hall of
Fame and not hidden among the
thousand other names on the tablet
somewhere most difficult to find.
These boys were our pillars of
strength in. the war. Nebraska is
just now in position to honor these
hero's in a utilitarian manner which
l think will appeal to every parent
and be appreciated by every living
soldier.
This can be accomplished by the
construction of our new state capitol
in a parallelogram, 300X400 feet
around an open plaza, having its ex-
terror walls all Of white tile and sup
ported by four rows Of Corinthfan
pillars and upon the base Of each
pillar have burned into 1t a hero's
name in large letters.
The top story to contain the SEN
ate, house and supreme court cham
bers, also the state library, leaving a
room, 60x400 feet, to be called the
Hall Of Fame and filed with war
relics and on the walls portraits of
every hero. Among the records
stored there should be the photo
graphs of every living Nebraska SOL
der. Such building can be con-
structed around the present capitol
and should be high enough to antici-
pate future needs for 100 years, the
excess space in the meantime avail
able for State University class rooms.
A similar plan can be carried out
for Omaha in the new High School
of Commerce building. Every town
In Nebraska that names ward
school for it's boys who came not
back from over the top, will set an
example Of patriotism to the rising
generation. D. c. PATTERSON.

aFtuME OR FIGHT I

Italy is reported to have served solemn no.
tice on the peace conference at Paris that il will
withdraw its delegates unless awarded Fiume
The Italian people went into the war for italia
lrredenta," and less than this will not content
them.
Treaties between England France and Rus
STA on the one side and Italy on the other, guar
antee that the east coast OF the Adriatic shall be
turned over to Italy, These treaties are in con-
Hict with the aspirations Of the Jugoslavs, who
rely on President Wilson's promise they will be
given justice. This they have interpreted to mean
they will get all they ask. just how far Amer
lea is involved in this promise of the president
we can not tell, but the fact that it is the rock
on which the Jugoslavian claims rests suggests
that we already are entangled to some degree in
European politics.
The serious feature of the situation arises
from the fact that the opponents are assuming
rigid position. Efforts at compromise have
been rejected by both sides, and only the re-
tirement OF one can now avert controversy
that may mean war. Serbia has just declined
to receive the ITALIAN minister because he did
not come accredited to the new Jugoslav ma
tional combination of Serbia, Bosnia and Hero
govinia, which is not yet formally recognized
as nation. This and other acts Of similar
nature have irritated the peoples on both sides,
and neither is in anything like good temper
with the other. Y
Withdrawal of Italy will be most embar-
RAISING to the peace conferees, especially in
view OF the fact that Lloyd George has an
nounced that existing treaties must be respected
This has been interpreted to mean that England
will sustain the Italian claims, The incident is
important as indicating that the time for talk
is almost at an end, and that the conference is
getting down to bedrock for action.

and aviator in one breath.
Then hasten to your airplane
and, as a sign of our knowledge and
power, we will reveal the secret Of

Suffering cats, who but a be-
witched beast would know that"
exclaimed the aviator.
Marvellous" gasped the Ogre.
NOW scoot!" ordered Billy. And
they did scoot--so fast that they
looked like two black streaks going
up the hill. In Nv minutes the
roar Of their engine was heard, and
then the airplane scared above the
trees. 1t was headed south. The
Ogre had had enough of his investi-
cations. -l g...-
