Germany Signs: Peace to Reign.

The most impressive act of the world war
closed with the signature of the peace treaty at
Versailles. Germany, aggressor in the great
conflict, has accepted the terms assessed by the
allies who had successfully resisted the at
tack of the nation whose lust for dominion had
maddened its people.
No tragedy is found in this, even for the
Germans. 1t is peace based on the high prn-
ciples of justice, of fair dealing and equal op-
portunity, respecting the weakness of the lesser
and guaranteeing to the small nations all the
rights of the larger, asking only that each strive
to live in harmony and amity with all the others.
Such peace provides for Germany the
chance to make new start. Autocracy there
is overthrown militarsm cast down, privileged
classes are brought to a level with the masses,
and the whole social fabric is in plastic state.
to be nodded into such form as will meet the
requirements of the new life that is before the
people German genius for organization has
now such field for operation as never was
presented. The spirit of the nation is freed
from the incubus of paternalsm, and opportun-
ity for the expression of individuasm is Of
fered all. On the acts of the Germans them
selves will depend their restoration to a place
among the foremost of nations. Pressure from
without will very likely hasten the reformation
from within, but finally it is up to them
Generally speaking, the effect Of the peace
treaty upon the world ought to be good, for it
is founded on principles rather than policies; it
has in it the germ Of progress for humanity.
Those who apprehend future wars discount mans
capability for improvement. 1t may be admitted

with its covenant between the nations makes
more difficult and less likely the entrance to
war; And with America and Great Britain as
sponsors, the next few years may be looked to
with confidence as period of tranquility, when
the arts of peace may flourish and each man
everywhere enjoy the fruits of his own labor.

If the approaching convention to revise the
Nebraska state constitution produces closer
reading of that document lot of things will
be found there that unsupported or for
gotten. For example, the governor is supposed
to transmit to the Legislature at each regular
session the reports of the different executive
departments and state institutions together
with the reports of the judges of the supreme
court of defects in the constitution and laws
If any such reports were ever made it must
have been in the early days, because none have
come to light in recent years-and the judges Of
the supreme court are supposed to be the ~spe-
cial guardians of the constitution and the par
ticular sticklers for it's enforcement
Again we will find the apparent contradic-
ton Of one section recently added as an amend
ment declaring that the manufacture and sale
of Intoxicating liquor "are forever prohibited in
this state" and by another hold-over section,
that drunkenness shall be cause for impeach-
ment and removal from Office" presumably of
officers who take sacred oath to observe and
uphold the constitution.
In still another place, the legislature is ex-
pressly prohibited from ever alternating the salt
springs belonging to the state as if they were
inestimably valuable when, in all probability,
the state would have difficulty in finding some
one to take these salt marshes'as a gift.

More Efficient.

Evidence that returned soldiers, par

its name be not disclosed.
OF more than six hundred returned
soldiers who have been employed by
this corporation 43 per cent have
proved more efficient than they were
before their military experience; So
per cent are put down as just about
the same as before in efficiency and
the remaining 5 per cent are rated as
having less efficiency.
According to the letter giving these
figures: "The analysis indicates that
the men are more orderly in their
routine work, more punctual, and a
few who were rather difficult to handle
are now amenable to discipline"

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never

Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
it's remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.

great preparation send ten cents to DR..

which is considered reliable.
1t is understood that the American
naval authorities here, who control
operations in the Adriatic, have de-
clined any assistance whatsoever,
pending final decision from Washing
ton or the peace delegates in Paris.
The Italian government, it is report
ed has pointed out that it would be
difficult for Italy to handle the situa-
ton in view of D'Annunzio's popular
ity with the Italian people, and also
because of the fact that the Fiume de-
1-CANARY-TWO Rvs
cision has been a thorn in the side of
the Italians
1t is understood the Italian govern
ment declared that it deplored the
situation and did not wish to make the
slightest move against the decision of
the peace conference, but pointedly
inferred that if D'Annunzio's hold on
Fiume was to be weakened it must be
done by other than Italian troops.
Two Plans Up to Wilson.
Rome, Sept. 23-From converse
lions which several senators and dep.
uties have had with Premier Nitti and
Foreign Minister Tittoni, seems that
two plans were submitted to President
Wilson concerning Fiume, both in
dorsed by France and England
According to one, Fiume would be
given to Italy, but it's hinterland, to.
gether with Eastern Istria, would be
given by Italy to Jugo-Slavia.
The second plan would make Fiume
an Independent city, and the hinter-
land together with Eastern Istria,
would become an Independent state
ruled by an International commission
Or by the league Of nations
President Still Determined.
On Board President Wilson's Spe.
cial Train, Sept. 23.-Several times
during his speaking tour Mr. Wilson
has referred in his address to Italy's
desire to acquire Fiume, declaring it
was a claim based on strategic
grounds, rather than on the principle
Of nationality. Awards of territory
for strategic purposes, he said in that
connection, were avoided by the peace
conference because under the new or
der set up by the league of nations,
strategic considerations were supplant-
ed by considerations of nationality
and determination
In line with these declarations, it
was indicated, that if any new prop
osal has been made to give Fiume to
Italy it had not been received favor
ably by the President.
