Waterproof Matches.

When you take auto trips, camping
trips or even go a-picnicking, take
along with you a box of matches
treated by dipping the sulphur ends of
the matches into melted parufTin. You
can light them, and they will burn even
in a rain for the wax runs down and
keeps them from going out. They will
prove just the thing for your boy scout
to take on his tramp.

omaha's Passenger Depot Problem.

Having given some study to the economic
conditions Of Omaha while in the city, Chair
man Lovett of the Union Pacific must have
been impressed with the inadequacy of the
depot facilities afforded railroads entering here.
Already severely overtaxed before the war, and
not sufficient to accommodate the restricted
traffic during the war, the prospect of having
to care for the future requirements at the ex-
listing terminal must be discouraging to the
operating forces. Renewal of corporation con-
troll of the lines should open an easy way to CO.
operation and the provision of union depot
that will take care of the business now crowded
into the cramped and unsatisfactory quarters
employed. Mr.. Lovett is quoted as saying no
immediate expenditures for betterments or ex-
tensions are considered, but it is unreasonable
to expect that Omaha is always to be put off on
the depot question. The matter was prom-
nently before the magnates before the war
started, but was held up by the financial diff
culties in which some Of the roads that would
use the plant found themselves These have
passed, and with clearing skies, growing BUSH
ness and general expansion in all directions, a
new passenger station for this great gateway
does not seem too much for the patrons to ask.

The Shontu,sQ Amendment

The Shantung amendment was defeated by
vote of IS to IS. What that amendment pro-
posed was to substitute in the paragraphs of
the treaty conveying Shantung to Japan the
name Of China wherever the word Japan oc-
ours. That, if adopted by the league, would
have restored to China what Germany took
away.
1t was not expected that this amendment
test of the strength of reservations. What
is more largely approved, and will no doubt
be included among the reservations, is an ex-
preston OF strong .disapprobation OF a trans
action which commits rank injustice against
comparatively weak nation and an ally. An
sion of the treaty to the Paris conference and
even then could have accomplished little more
than could vigorous protest, unless we were
prepared to compel Japan to surrender, and
nobody at any time has contemplated the use
Of force to induce japan to yield up her share
of the spoils Of war
What should be done and probably will be
done will be the incorporation of formal
statement in the resolutions of ratification de-
nouncing this crime against weak nation by
the strong-the very thing the league is sup
posed to prevent-and putting the United States
squarely on record as regulating the transac-
ton and rebuking our representative at the
peace conference for permitting the United
States to be placed in the attitude of sharing
in and consummating this piece of political
piracy. IT is one OF the most indefenslble TEA
lures OF the treaty and outrages the American
sense of honor all the more because it is now.
well-estabshed fact that it was not neces-
sary.
The presidents consent is explained on the
ground that he feared that to refuse to APP
prove would keep Japan out of the league, and,
as he has confessed in his western tour
speeches, SO important a thing comparatively
as the national honor was not too much to
sacrifice if necessary to make sure of the league
of nations.
1t is an evil omen that the existence of the
league should rest at any point upon such rot

The Turkish Rev9vul

Adrianople and Brusa, old capitals Of the
Ottoman empire, have adhered to the national
list reaction under Mustapha Renal. pasta, who
wants to keep so much of the ancient splendor
of the Turk as his armies can hold. Perhaps he
cannot be broken without fighting, but it seems
likely that both Greeks and Italians would, if it
came to decision be willing and able to break
his armies in Anatolia. A united front of the
alliance would settle the Turkish trouble now
threatened, and with the ancient problem of the
Turk in Europe.
But there is no united front. The Turks
would have been swept back into Asia in the
18th century but for the jealousies Of Russia
and Austria; they were saved in the 10Th cen
fury by the jealousy of England and Russia;
now they may be preserved once more, after
their most complete defeat when an unpar-
alleled opportunity lies before the world, by
jealousies between England and France. 1t
would be a crime, and mistake worse than a
crime, not to take the opportunity which AL
lenby's victories provided No doubt those
statesmen who talk of leaving the Turkish en-
pire intact think of it as virtually under the
control of either France or Britain. History
lends little support to such hope. Britain
twice saved the Turk in the 10Th century; its
reward was shadowy diplomatic prestige at
Constantinople, which had to be upheld by toll
erance of repeated massacres of Christians, and
which was finally completely overthrown by
the croft of Marschall Won Bieberstein. Sup
port of the Turk by any great western power
would be as foolish as il would be immoral

The American Red Cross
From the St. Louis Globe. Democrat.

The figures Of what was accomplished by
the women of America through the agency Of
the Red Gross and what that organization itself
achieved through the help given by the people
OF America are too large for full understanding,
even though we have become accustomed to
talk in millions and billions. For instance, the
women working at the various places operated
by the Red Cross produced 371,500000 articles
valued at $94000000. These articles were dis
tributed by the organization to soldiers and
needy civilians in the war region. No one can
begin to estimate the comfort and relief from
suffering these millions of articles gave We
have but to imagine what would have been the
conditions everywhere had not the American
Red Cross been in existence. But that was not
half Of what was done, because purchased and
contributed supplies were also distributed or
used to the value of $l6l 100000.
No complete statement of the number of per-
sons engaged in this work regularly, exclusive
Of the volunteer workers, has been made, but in
the motor service alone at the time of the armis-
tice there were $4,000. The paid organization
did, the United States and many European and
Asiatic countries Yet the cost of operation
was but ~ per cent of the receipts. Persons
who donated have the satisfaction of knowing
that their donations actually reached and re-
lieved suffering or brought comfort to our SOL
ders and also soldiers of other nations and
were not consumed in extravagant overhead
and organization expenses. As an illustration,
while we had less than 100000 men in the
army, navy and marine corps all told, sand
witches, candy, cigarettes ice cream, etc, we're
given out 39,o48,733 times or an average of 10
times to each soldier and most of this was done
by volunteer women receiving no compensation
whatever.
These are but some of the high lights Of the
wonderful work of the American Red Cross
society, Of which over 100000 Americans feel
proud to have become members last year, and
which like number should become members
Of this year and every year hereafter. This So
ciety is one Of mercy and of emergency relief
1t should be kept fully organized and provided
with the means of service. A grateful and ap-
preciative people will see that this is DONE

Suppressi,sg the Cocktail

Is England to sacrifice the cocktail as a con-

Lloyd George Facing Crisis.

Although supported by formidable coali-
ton majority, Lloyd George is not to have easy
sailing in the session of Parliament just opened,
if surface indications point accurately to the
underlying sentiment Several seats have been
lost to the government in the byelections, ac-
eepted as proof that the war spirit that held
the great group of coalitionsts together is
crumbling, and that British political feeling is
again crystallizing on party lines.
Toryism did not disappear, nor did the ele-
ment assembled under the head of liberal, but
the laborites and the radicals have gained i'm
mensely in strength, and confidently look
ahead to control within very few years. These
predict that Lloyd George will be forced to go
to the country shortly, relying on attacks on
home and foreign policies to ovefturn the
premier.
In many respects the internal problems Of
the United Kingdom are similar to those con-
fronting the United States Reconstruction has
brought its difficulties, and readjustment so far
as has progressed has been accompanied by vio-
lent disturbances. These have been unduly ag-
gravated by the railroads, who have injected
Russia into the debate, and have brought for
ward strength that was repressed by the sense
of danger while the great war actually was on.
Extremists boldly declare in support Of the
bolshevist movement, and censure the govern
ment for its anti-red activities.
How far they can get is uncertain, but it is
plain they will be able to annoy the premier
and to interfere with his program extensively.
The political crisis he now faces is quite as
definite as was his military problem. Adroit
as we'll as bold, resourceful and prudent, Lloyd
George will give his opponents merry time of
it before they get him out OF power.

sounds note that will be heard throughout
the land.
For many years the high wage scale in
America has been preserved for the single pur-
pose Of enabling the preservation of the So
called American standard" Of living. This has
meant many things in workingmans home
that are looked upon IS Injuries in other coun-
tries. Whether it is now to be extended to in
clude automobiles is to be determined. No
question is made that the workingman ap-
preciates q drive in 4 high grade car, or even a
"Aivver," quite as much as any other man. 1t
is also true that great many OF them already
drive their own cars. This was the case before
the war with its consequent rise in wages and
cost of living.
A strangely unaccountable fact in human ex-
pericnce is men working under identical condi-
tons and for uniform pay show wide variation
in their ways Of living One will accumulate
property, own his home, have his automobile
and other evidences of prosperity, while the
other is barely able to get along, living always
on his next weeks pay. This is the difference
between thrift and unthrift, and is not new
phenomenon by any means.
The same difference will exist even if Mr..
Shea's proposal is taken at its face value, and
automobiles be included in the list Of necessities
embraced in the American standard No ad-
justment of wage scale will ever establish that
parity between individuals where all will be
housed, fed and clothed alike or given to enjoy
equally the Injuries Of living Any claim the
hremen or other group of workmen may set up
for increase in pay must rest on better basis
than yearning for 'luxurics," or it is certain

1t would be party to no agreement against
any robber nation launching war of con-
quest. 1t would leave the matter entirely
with congress, as it is now.-World- Herald
Precisely. Congress represents the people
of the United States and speaks with their
voice However deeply and sincerely Ameri-
cans recognize and accept their duty and obi
CATION as keepers of their brothers, big or little,
brown or black, they still want to retain the
right to say if they are to be plunged into war.
Under Article X, as presented by the president
to the senate, congress has the right to declare
war, but in the language of the World Herald,
with that pledge standing congress would be
bound in honor and in morals to make it good"
In plain words, the governing body of the
League of Nations could declare war and the
United States would be bound to take part in it.
That is just what the majority in the senate
proposes shall not come to pass.

tihc Press, 667 Howard ST., San
Francisco.
This is about the advice he got,
If you haven't good health and a
strong, rugged body don't try to be
mining engineer. II you don't
like mathematics, physics or chem
istry, be something else. You can
60 to technical school and get your
training, or you can go to night
school for it, or you can get it by
correspondence, or dig il out by
yourself from the books. The first
method is most expensive, but best.
1t gives you a broader and more
thorough training.
Buck chose that method. He had
already graduated from high school.
Now he spent four more years in a
technical school. He worked with
the Bermuda company during vaca-
tons and, as the school to which he
went was in mining district, he
was able to work several shifts a
week during the school year and
thus earn some money. His father
helped him considerably in paying
his expenses.
After Buck graduated he returned
to the Bermuda company. He might
have been made a geologist, or
metallurgist, or chemist, or been
put in the surveying department;
but he preferred Job as mine fore
man. Here through several years
of work he showed he had stuff in
him and began to go up.

ing ccmpany's Offices ore door has

Statement of Sugar Distributing
Committee.

New York, Oct. IA, 1919.-In con-
tinuing the shipments west of Pitts
burgh and Buffalo until October Is,
eastern refiners have stayed in the
western territory two weeks longer
than was done in 1917 and 1918.
On account of the longshoremens
strike in New York harbor refiners
here are not operating, and before
they can resume and get shipments
west, beets certainly should be in
free supply. In disseminating ship
ments west Of Pittsburgh and Buff
falo refiners acted under positive in
structions from the United States
food administration, who were
forced to take this position because
the east has a scant and the west an
ample supply. Roughly there will
be approximately 100000 tons of
beet sugar produced in this country
before January /, and there is a
population Of about 50,000,000 in
the territory that it must supply.
Against this we have approximately
only 100000 tons of cane sugar
available between now and January
1, with a population Of 100000
in the territory to be supplied. This
means that with supply Of beet
sugar more than three times greater
than that Of the eastern refiners, the
beet sugar interests will cover be-
tween now and January / terri
tory with only SO per cent greater
population. From now on until jan
uary l sugar will be distributed in
the east on approximately the same
basis as was in effect under the re-
strictions imposed in September and
October, 1918. Diminished supplies
are the result Of heavy consumption
in the United States since January /.
