STUDYING OTHERS METHODS.

The war has shown many ways in which it is possible to profit from the way in which other people do things. This is Illustrated by the way in which one nation followed the inn provements perfected by others, not solely for the purpose of copying them but to improve thereon and it is iamlilar Of course how great changes were made in the submarines, the use of gas, airplanes and in fact the general methods of warfare.
 But such is matter which is by no means confined to the art of war. It has been followed in business, and if IS interesting to note that, as the re- suit of the developments which took place in Japan during the period of the war where the trade in cotton goods has been so increased as to cause much uneasiness in large cen ters of the cotton industry in other parts of the world a delegation of representatives of the British cotton industry at Lancashire IS to come to this country for the nrpnase of study-

DEMoBILIzlNG THE ARMY.

No one can wonder at the impa tience of those who are anxious to have their relatives. returned from service in Europe for they have been nway a long time and it is hard to understand why some of those who were the first to go over should be among the last to return, But the demobilization of the army is a task which requires time even as the raising and training of one. Be cause there was greater need for get ting them to Europe quick they were moved after the transportation be- gan in earnest with greater speed than they are being returned. This was because greater shipping facili- ties were available. But the number of transports is being increased as fast as possible and from now on speed in returning the soldiers should equal that which was shown in taking them away.
 In this connection the report of General March up to and including the first eight days of this month shows that since the armistice was signed there nave been over HOO ,000 officers and men returned to civilian life. Orders for discharges are be- ing issued at the rate of 100000 a month and soon it is expected that they will be coming home at the rate of 3)0,000 month through the in creasins of the number of transports
 At that rate it ought not to be many months before the demobilization will be completed. It is by no means a small job but with half of the army discharged and the work of bringing home the soldiers being speeded UT better progress can be anticipated from now on. And yet in spite of the haste t will not be possible to get them home a bit tco soon. Few, how ever realize what is required in talk. ing apart such a military machine.

 It is not easy to form an idea of the capacity of the vast oil reservoir which the admiralty have built at Rosyth, though an excavation of 5000 cubic yards and roof area of 1-3 acres are undoubtedly impressive figures. They are useful in another direction
 The new reservoir holds 50 million gallons. At the end of last month there were in bond 114.132, 900 proof gallons of British spirits. apart from huge quantities of brandy and rum Diluted to their selling strength, these spirits collectively would fill nearly three Rosyth reservoirs. Not for something like half cen- tury have silver mine owners had such chance as now. All through the war owing to the withdrawal of gold from circulation and the increased use of silver all over the world, silver has been mounting up in price, and yester- day the treasury raised the price to 49 5-16d. per ounce.

 A countess who has just arrived in 1 England tells a tragic story of the Bolshevik terror.
 i Not many days ago she saw a crowd
 of villagers arriving at her country
 mansion. They included many tenants
 who had been on happy terms witt
 her. The spokesman said with deer emotion, which was shared by all the others, that they had come to kill the i countess.
 Amazed at such a statement. she
 asked Why" The spokesman re- piled that it was at the command o1 1 the Bolsheviks, and that if they failed to carry out their orders their owr 1 lives were in peril. ~- . The countess discussed the awful
 tidings with quiet dignity, and at last
 one of the crowd suggested, with naive
 simplicity, that she should escape
 from her home at once. Then, allow
 ing little time, the peasants would return and tell their masters that sht had gone. She acted on this plan, ant was able to reach England withou further anger.-London Chronicle

Americanism One Of
Features Of Meeting Of
Veterans Of Late War

1T was a great demonstration Of
genuine Americanism," was the
sentiment expressed by Colonel
Maher, Allan Turkey and T. J. Nc
CURE, when they returned from st.
Louis, where they attended caucus
of the American Legion, an orga-
nization of veterans of the war.
The Omaha delegates stated that
1t. Col. Theodore Roosevelt went
away bigger man than when he
first entered the caucus. For more
than an hour 1,048 delegates cheered
Roosevelt and insisted that he ac-
cept the presidency of the legion,
but he steadfastly refused. The
Omaha men stated that the St.
Louis meeting did not have an
ounce of selfshness; that generals
nominated privates and privates
told generals to sit down when the
occasion seemed to warrant such
commands.
Delegates were from every state
except the Carolinas. No effort will
be made to make the organization
permanent until a national conven-
ton shall be called next November
in Minneapolis, when it is believed
most of the overseas men will have
returned. Nebraska will be en-
titled to four delegates at large and
one additional delegate for every
1000 members, at the Minneapolis
meeting.

Rickenbacker to
Be Guest Of Chiefs
Of Ak-Sar-Ben

When Captain R ichenbacker
comes here next Monday for his
lecture at the Auditorium on his air
adventures on the western front, he
will be the guest of the Ak-Sar-Ben
board of governors.
The board has planned trip out
to the new Ak-Sar-Ben grounds. 1t
was here on the old mile trock that
Eddie" won his first automobile
race. He gained greater fame in
July, 1914, when he won real
victory on the Sioux City track.
Three speeding events followed
this in 1915 and in 1916 were added
three championship victories-the
Metropolitan, N. Y; the Tacoma
and Los Angeles. Since his super
lative achievements in the air he
has often remarked that his early
training and experience was an ex-
cellent foundation for his work as
an air fighter. His lecture, in which
he will tell his air experiences, his
combats and adventures while fight
ing the Huns, will be augmented
with moving pictures and slides of
himself in action.
Seats are now on sale at Bea-
toms, Barlow Bros. cigar store,
Sixteenth and Farnam and Omaha
