FrlQht(ulness at Home

Germany's war from the air upon defenseless
towns and non-combatant men, women and
children in England began on December "a,
1914, and continued off and on until the disas-
trous retreat of the German armies from France
and Belgium began in July of 1918. The re-
suits from 81 Zeppelin raids were $50 killed and
1857 injured. The succeeding 50 raids by air
planes killed 747 persons and injured 2,050-a
total of 1903 killed and 3407 injured.
1t is now officially stated from Berlin that
72o persons were killed by allied airplane raids
on German territory and ,754 injured. This is
the first definite knowledge the allied world has
had of just how deadly its air forays into Ger
many had been. The figures are Unexpectedly
large.
The British were long in making up their
minds to retaliate in kind. 1t was not until near
the end of the war that they and the French
had bombing airplanes of sufficient capacity to
spare for purposes so remote in military value.
They were handicapped by the long distances
to be flown over before reaching German terri
tory. But it now appears that when they did get
started the results, largely packed into the COM

tered the aerial conflict, how great part may
not those comparatively few raids have played
in unnerving the Germans?

as well as Mortified, at the condition
.of things at the Geneva Home for
Girls, as revealed by Pauy McAuley's
testimony.
He says at one time they contem-
plated getting bloodhounds to chase
the girls who escaped; escaped from
a place where they were dashed and
abused, not only by himself, but by
other employees and where their
food was not in quality nor quantity

ployes. And this institution is I'M

A minister of the gospel says
through his church paper, go to it,
Paul! Beat the tar out of them

advise Mr.. McAuley the next time he
has occasion to stretch the frail body
of a young girl across a chair and
lay on a heavy leather strap until
she cries out in agony, to have a
snap shot of the scene taken and
send it to the Turks and the Ger
mans, whom the world looks upon
as the most brutal of men. 1t would
be a fine thing to let their people

American women.
No girl in that home or any other
home, no matter how low or degrad-
ed the girl might be, but would take
one step downward on the ladder,
after being clad in thin garment
and beaten by thing that looks like
a man.
In the fact of all this. a few male
citizens are taking the suffrage
cause to the supreme court, trying to
reverse the case and see that women
in our state have no voice in making
the laws under which they live and
which they must obey.
Instead of a man (who no doubt
is there for the salary only, there
should be kind, sympathetic,
Christian woman at the head of all
institutions where women and girls
are confined. Delinquents and de-
pendents should not be kept to-
gether. Women were never needed
more in politics in Nebraska than
right now. A WOMAN.

One Bryan Prophecy Redeemed.

Colonel George Harvey is authority for the
statement that Colonel William Jennings Bryan
said in 1912 that if Woodrow Wilson was nomi-
mated and elected, the democratic party would
go out of existence. This has come to pass, and
the Wilson group has taken its place. .g
Witness the spectacle in Colorado where
Charles Spaulding Thomas, a pioneer of the
state, democrat of the old school, and con-
structive statesman of high ability, is refused
hearing by the state senate in which So
called democratic majority objects to him be-
cause he does not agree with the proposed
League of Nations constitution. And at the
very time the senator's at Denver were admin
isterng this snub to the leader of the Colorado
democratic party, President Wilson was for
mulatng such amendments to the covenant as
would meet objections raised by Senator
Thomas and others of his mind
In Missouri we note the unwashed in the
legislature clamoring for the political head of
Senator Jimmy" Reed, because he has had the
temerity to differ in opinion both with and from
the president. Elsewhere may be discerned
signs a-plenty that the democratic party has
gone out of business, and only the Wilson party
remains.
While Chamberlain, Clark Thomas, Reed,
Watterson Vardaman, and other stalwarts of
the party are being drummed out of camp, Ne
braskans have great consolation. Gilbert M.
Hitchcock is true to Woodrow Wilson. For
some unexplained reason or purpose the demo-
cratic senator from Nebraska, who, two years
ago, was being denounced by the legislature for
his lack of loyalty to the president is now his
most ardent and fiery champion You can draw
your own conclusions.
The point is that no two men in America
knew Woodrow Wilson better in 1912 than
George Harvey and W. J. Bryan, each of whom
has felt the effect of the Wilsonian displeasure
since. They agreed that what has come to
pass would come to pass, and they assisted in
bringing it about

Reggie now let out another ter
rife howl drowning out the dogs.
But in the midst of this howl a
blood-curdling scream rang through
the forest and silenced him.
"A wild cat" muttered Lonesome
Bear in scared voice. Looking to-
ward a tall hickory tree, they saw
a long, lean animal crouched or a
limb. Its eyes glistened like green
fire and its tail waved slowly back
and forth.

twist to it's flying body. AS a result
it missed the tree on which Reggie
was seated and went tumbling down
among the dogs.

Lonesome Bear. And it did fly. There
was yelp of glee from the dogs,
as they went after the big cat
which turned abruptly to yelps of
surprise and pain as the claws of
the Wild Cat got busy. 1t looked for
whip the whole pack of dogs single
handed. But apparently the cat
thought it too much of job. for af-
ter one frenzied whirl, it went leap
ing off over the backs of the dogs,
starting a lively howl wherever its
claws landed.
'Ha. I've got plan to send those
dogs scooting SO we can save the
Boy Who Howls," exclaimed Billy.

1c4tnc9 mt public thai ore progress is being
made on the peace treaty than is indicated by
surface appearances. This is encouraging even
though the White House notion of speed and
progress does not always satisfy an anxious
public.
Latest of proposals from Paris is that the
treaty be made one inclusive affair, coupling
Germany, Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey and
prescribing the same dose for each, with Ger
many considered the head. This plan, it is
argued, will save time in the end From Berlin
comes word that Bernstorff, who was German
ambassador at Washington, says Germany will
accept no peace not based on the fourteen
points This is interesting only as indicating
the fact that German politicians have not aban-
doned the little game of bluff.
What more closely concerns Americans is
that nothing of the nature of the final treaty is
permitted to leak out of the closed rooms in
which the document is being prepared. "Open
covenants" are not being openly arrived at,"'
while even the notifications of the League of
Nations constitution are not clearly explained.
Blame for the explosion of anarchy in Hun
gary is being laid on the peace conference, and
our president is singled out as personally re-
sponsible for the situation. This is to be re-
GREETED 1t was not an easy task that con-
fronted the delegates when they assembled, nor
has it been simplifed in any way by what has
happened since. Invited by the fourteen
points" and encouraged by the talk of So
cety of nations, any group with grievance
has fastened to Paris until all the social and
political and most of the economic ills of dis
traught world are piled up before the conference
These can not be quickly disposed of, and
time spent in considering them has been taken
from the main question We hope the little
flash from the White House springs from the
light that soon is to be turned on in full, but
waiting for peace is getting wearisome.

but his bowling tonight was break
ing all former records.
After Reggie had howled until he
had to quit for lack of breath there
was deep silence. Then a great
hound with deep voice bayed
mournfully. He seemed to be trying
to initiate Reggie's howl, but he
could come nowhere near it. Next a
huge st. Bernard tried it. He was
followed by setter, and the setter
by a pointer, and the pointer by a
collie. And so it went around like a
singing lesson in school, with each
dog making an earnest effort to howl
as Reggie howled. But they could
not equal Reggie. He was master of
them all.
Even Lonesome Bear caught the
fever and joined in the chorus.
