Apologies That Aggravate offense.

German leaders of the late war are indus
triously writing talking, explaining and expos
tulating, each one trying to exculpate himself
and shift the blame onto someone else. Won
Ludendorf, Won Hindenburg, Won Bcthmann-
Hollweg, Won Tirpitz-the whole list of them,
with and without "vons"-are engaged in this
ridiculous competition. Neither of them has
added anything of real value to history, for
each has been so completely devoted to saving
his own face that the evasiveness of his ap-
proach to any salient point justifes generally
rejection of his testimony. Not one of them
has frankly faced the charge made by Prince
Lichnowski in his book, that the war was de-
lberately willed by 4 coterie surrounding the
throne, that it was planned and executed, and
that Germans like himself, who were not in
sympathy with the aims of the junkers were
kept in Ignorance of the steps by which the
catastrophe was brought about. The stupefy-
ing immortality Of the whole process by which
the scheme of contest was set in motion does
not appear to have dawned on any of the apollo
gists. Only the fact that they failed and neither
is willing to accept his share of blame for not
having succeeded moves them now to speak
No amount of passing the buck will avail to
relieve any of them Of full share in the de-
testaton with which they will be recalled by

OMAHA AND Underwater.

Nothing affects value of products more than
facility for marketing them. Cost OF carriage
to the consumer 10 almost inevitably taken from
the price paid the producer. Nebraska's out
put is Of quality that goes to no special mar
ket, but is sold to the world. and in competition
with producers everywhere. These truisms
make Omahas relation to the seaboard 4 mat
ter OF concern to all the state. Already this
city 10 we'll established as the primary market
town for wonderfully fecund region, from
which an endless stream of wholesome food Is
poured into the nav OF hungry world. Any
thing that will improve on the situation no OF
advantage to all.
If the plan for great canal around Niagara
Falls is feasible and can be put into service,
Omaha and the territory served from here will
benefit by reason Of the presence of ocean
going freight carriers At Chicago or Duluth.
This project is no more attractive, though, than
that which contemplates using the great water
way from here to New Orleans. These are
both subject to being closed by weather. just
at the time when the great grain movement to
market is under way. This physical difficulty
does not condemn either, for it is conceivable
that ample storage room could be provided here
and the grain in transit be held to wait for open
water with saving on the freight rate by rail
shipment.
The north and south railway project also de-
serves consideration in connection with, for
tide-waer at the gulf is still nearest the port of
Omaha, and that is open all the year around.
