The Problem
As Omaha Saw 1t

1t is only about dozen wears since
the people of Omaha began seriously to
consider the matter Of making that city a
primary market for grain and wool and
hides and other items on the list of raw
materials produced in the wide territory
OF which she called herself the metropolis.
To-day she is a primary market more in
name than in substantial fact, in that she
has done little toward basing other indus
tries upon this raw material traffic. Ex-
cepting meat packing she has no industries
matched to the volume Of the flow of raw
stuffs through her gates--none which figure
in that significant column of industrial
summaries value added by manufacture.
On large scale that is merely the service
OF the neutrality-suspicious. to the middle
man VINO takes charge for handling.
passing the raw materials on unchanged to
their ultimate markets; but only by the
grace OF an outworn industrial fiction NAV
such service be considered a contribution
to wealth. 1t adds to ultimate costs with
out adding at all to values
1t is, perhaps, unfair to Omaha to single
her out from the multitude of interior cities
for this implied criticism Omaha's case
is not unique; it is fairly illustrative Of a
very general condition of the very common
illusion of past days, that the riches
gained by traffic in raw materials stood for
new created wealth There was money in
1t, and 80 these scores Of thrifty interior
towns and cities continued gathering wool

After the
Balance?

DO you appreciate that 1t is long since
we have been talking of the westward tide
of migration save in terms of the past
Look again at the map and you will see that
since 1890 the centre of population has
hung close to one spot, just south of Indian
apolis. The meaning of that is plain. The
land hunters have finished their pioneering;
the lands of the great basin are occupied.
That has been true for almost thirty years.
Centres will shift little from time to
time; not much. Density of population has
just about come to a balance, east and
west; the next marked shift will be to the
southwark.

Temperament i'm
The Fight

If he had any such overpowering interest
in the doings of the Hun the result Of his
observations taught him to restrain it..
When he wanted a look he went to a.
sniper's post used q perscope 1t wasn't
much extra trouble and it saved the dig
ging they were always having to do for
the ones who looked when they felt like it.
He found the idea had its advantages
too, in going over the top. He was struck
by the dissimilarity in the methods of the
Tommy and the Poilu. His French ancestry
may have made him incline toward the lat
ter's ways although the chances are that
it was his common sense
The British, he noticed, climbed out of
the trenches quite coolly when the time
came, formed in straight lines and plodded
along behind their barrage. When gaps
began to come in their ranks it made no
difference as far as the disinterested plod-
ding was concerned.
With the French it was another matter.
Before the zero hour every man in the
trench was aquiver with suppressed excite
ment They walked up and down. little
each way; they examined their rifles again
and again; they chewed their lips without
knowing it. When they went over there
were no straight lines. Every man was on
his own. Every man took advantage of
whatever shelter he could find. He darted
from one she'll hole to another, then behind
a shattered tree trunk, then behind a little
rise in the ground, but always keeping up
with the barrage.
1t was difference in temperament that
showed in the statistics when the losses
were counted. Not that LIE Blanc was inter-
ested in statistics just then; he was fgur-
ing out safety first tactics in bayonet fight
ing, ways in which you could kill the most
Germans while they were killing the least
of you.
He was successful enough at it to be
given a commission and platoon. More
wearing months in the trenches went by be-
fore there came need at headquarters for
men who could speak French perfectly and
who we're familiar with the adjacent coun-
try. AS he had spent some years in north
ern France and had friends in many of the
towns he was one Of those finally selected.
After period of instruction in map read
ing and other courses they were ready for
their work-that of gathering information
back Of the German lines. Only volun-
teers had been chosen. 1t was not looked
on as particularly safe work.
lie Blanc, however, saw no reason why
it should be especially hazardous. AS
chocolate soldier" he found it rather
tempting. Surely it would be far more
comfortable than the trenches They were
to live in chateau near headquarters-had
been living there, in fact, with beds and
tablecloths and bathtubs and the most IT,
heard of things. The only uncomfortable
part of it had been when they had started
to practise parachute jumping.
1t was the plan of the staff to send them
over the lines in airplanes, have them julp
out at convenient spots, hide the parachutes

nothing can become so disagreeable as a
general who makes up his mind to it. He
has strategic disagreeable advantages that
could never be possible in civil life.
The result was a natural one. LIE Blanc,
who had volunteered for the work, ceased
to volunteer. The general sent for the
others. They felt about it as LIE Blanc did
The general insistent. They also
ceased to volunteer The general was left

RECOGNIZES JUGO-SLAvS
Precedent Realizes That italians Are

Paris, Jan. 10.-President Wilson
1t is said. has virtually made up his
mind how far he will support italy s
claims at the peace table, and has In
formed Premier Orlando of his decis
ion; but 1t is probable his ideas viii
not be made known publicly until the
other peace delegates have been ad
yised Of them.
II is asserted by persons close to
the President that he favors only par
tial Endorsement of Italy's ambitions
The expectation has been expressed
that he would be agreeable to meeting
the principal features of Italy's claim
to territory undeniably italian and es
sential to safeguard her sovereignty
and at the same time to recognize the
territorial aspirations of the Judge
slavs.
1t IS thought likely that the Presi
dents learnings In favor OF Italy dc
not go so far as to warrant the sug
,gestion that he is In favor of giving
Italy control of the Adriatic, but that
by project of Observation-Disclosures
he is willing to satisfy the Italians
that there will be no military threat
to the east of them.
The President is said to realize that
the Italians are depending almost
solely on the United States for sup
port; but, although he entertalns the
warmest sympathy for Italy, 1t is be
lieyed that he has felt from the first
that he could not indorse her claims
