Surplus of War Material.

The enormous accumulations of unused
war materials on this side the Atlantic probably
do not represent one-half the actual American
surplus of war supplies and implements Huge
deliveries in France of foods, guns, trucks, aero
planes and other materials were made during
the three months Immediately preceding the
first arrangement of the armistice and the bulk
of this material was never used. 1t was part
of the equipments for the expected smashing
American drive in the spring of 1919-the drive
which was scheduled for Berlin Most of this
material will be solo on the other side if there
is any market for it.
According to statement made after an in
spection tour of the main American storage
centers in France, there are about 10000 aero
planes that have never been uncrated, there
are about 10000 army automobiles, which will
be offered for sale on the other side 'by the
acre" There is a huge refrigerator plant that
contains 100000 tons of fresh meat. This
last mentioned stock is probably being steadily
drawn upon, as the American army of occupa-
ton must be maintained and the last of the
mustered out American contingents will not
come back before some time in August.
Besides, there is an American-bult railroad,
which, including sidings and switches, rep
resents more than 400 miles of trackage. Pow
erful American-built engines and thousands of
cars are included in the rolling stock of this
railroad for handling the American army and
its equipments Baltimore American.

Guard Getting Into Politics.

Major Makers move to bar regular army
men from membership in the new veterans as
ISOLATION is unworthy of him. 1t leads directly
to conclusion that is of little credit to the
organization Soldiers in the regular army are
under military control, as the major charges,
but it was we'll replied to him that to debar a
man from membership in such an organization
because he wears the uniform of his country is
bolshevism of the worst type. The suggestion
may be regarded as the second gun in the battle
of the National Guard against the "regular"
army Colonel Clark, son of the late speaker of
the house. set off the first explosion when he
proposed the reduction of the army to a mini
mum figure and the exa1tation of the guard to a
maximum. The plain meaning of this is that
what has hitherto been only politics in the
guard, and that has produced enough of mis-
chief, now threatens to become the guard in
politics, leading to something nobody may fore
tell, but surely not less than confusion in our
military establishment. The safety of the repub-
lie is not secure in the keeping of an institution
in which preferment depends on an indi-
viduars capacity as wirepuller and not on his
fitness for the work he is expected to do.

S1lvution Army and Saloon

Schoolgirls who have given profound
study to the reasons for the saloons attraction
have been inclined to doubt if its place can be
taken very successfully by any form of commun-
ity center, reading room, soft drink cafe, or
other variant of the poor mans club" Men
do 20 to saloons for sociability, to be sure but
they 60 for other reasons, one of which is to
drink--and to drink something stronger than
coffee or ginger ale. Nevertheless, since men
accustomed to staying away from home are not
going to get into the habit of going home inn
inediately, all encouragement is due to the va
rous bodies which are trying to remake the
saloons, in many cases at the old stands, into
places of social meeting which shall attract for
mer visitors.
II any of the various religious, civic or social
organizations which are planning to do this can
do it successfully it is likely to be the Salvation
Army, whose plans were announced in yester-
days papers. That organization has won gen.
eral admiration by its work in various and diff
ficult fields most recently in its ministrations
to our soldiers What it does it seems to do
we'll Moreover. the Salvation Army under
stands the temperament of the classes of the
population which frequent the cheaper saloons;
/ it knows how to approach them and what to
give them. And in world at present diversified
by so many manifestations of intolerance
it is pleasure to hear from Commander Booth
that, while members of the Salvation Army do
not smoke, they have no objection to other
peoples smoking in the new salvation bars and
apparently feel that those who are to frequent
them have some right to their own idea of the
comfort and cheer" which the reformed saloons
are to promote.-New York Times

Cushing, Neb., May 5.-To the
Editor of The Bee: A letter ap-
peared in your Letter Box, May 8,
concerning the daylight saving law.

congress ever put into effect. I am
a public worker and am one of the
consumers of food and consider
should have as much to say about
this as the producer Of food. If it
was not for the consumer we would
have no need of the producer. The
producer gets up when he feels like
it, works when he feels like it. and
goes to bed when he feels like 1t.
The average of consumers are labor
ing people, who like to have an
hours extra rest in the evening.
Talk about destroying the fine sum-
mer morning by calling 4 o'clock 5,
and calling 5 o'clock 6! This is the
finest part of the day and these
hours should be spent by ambitious
in work, instead of lying abed as
most lazy people want to do. 1 GER

port this law. f. NJ

GERMANY BEFORE WORLDS BAR.

Germany, beaten but unrepentant, stands at
the worlds bar. Convicted of unspeakable
crimes against civilization, of brutality unbe-
levable, and wantonness beyond understanding
its representatives still seek to shift responsible
ity and put blame on others.
If the picture of Bismarck at Versailles did
not linger in memory SO wildly, if It had not
been so long exulted in by the Germans with
continual reference to it as exemplifying what
others might expect were they caught as France
had been, little compassion might be felt for
Germany in its present predicament.
Won Brockdorf- Rantzau's plea before the
great council at Versailles will scarcely serve to
mitigate the sentence passed on his nation. 1t
should be unnecessary to remind him of the
promise repeatedly held out to the world, from
the kaiser's own lips, and from those who could
speak with authority under him, that strong
German peace" would be set up and maintained
by the SHARP German sword"
That sword has been broken, and strong
peace is about to be set up. 1t will be sus-
tanned by the forces of justice, supported by the
agencies of free nations, whose liberties rest on
law and whose motive is that right and not
might shall determine in all matters. These
have not pursued Germany out of vengeance,
but to make themselves secure against the Ger
man doctrine that might constituted right and
that physical weakness was mortal sin. Re-
venge does not enter the peace treaty
The pleading of the spokesman for Ger
many that it be allowed to economically re-
habitate itself IS heard by world before
whose vision stretches the unmitigated evidence
of the ruin deliberately wrought by the German
army, cold-blooded destruction the extent of
which far transcribed the military purposes to
which Count Won Brockdorf- Rantzau alludes.
1t was part of the German plan to economically
impoverish its neighbors, and leave them de-
pendent.
Germany will be allowed to recover its in
dustrial activity; it may even get some OF the
assistance now sought in tears, but if so, only
that the people Of Germany may by we'll di-
rected expenditure of energy produce what is
needed to recompense the victims of their in
human rapacity.

Debate on the "Code". Bill.

Governor Mckelvie announces his intention
of explaining from the platform to the people
of Nebraska the meaning of the so-called code"
bill, now under attack and threatened with the
referendum hold-up. He has challenged the
leader of the organized opposition to debate
with him the merits of the measure. This
whole matter squarely before the people.
For many years the government of the state
Of Nebraska has been made increasingly cum
bersome and expensive through the addition
from time to time of new boards and commits
sions To evade the constitutional prohibition
against creating new Offices, the practice has
grown up of making the governor chief Of what
ever new bureau, commission or board might be
provided for by law, and permitting him to
operate through & deputy. In this manner a
complicated system of government by commits
sion has developed, with overlapping and inter
fering duties and authorities vested in boards
but loosely co-ordinated.
This system could produce only unsatisfac-
tory results. In 1918 the republican party of
Nebraska definitely pledged itself to remedy
J the situation by adopting systematic form of
government that would rest on common sense
and produce the business-like results people ex-
pect in administration of public affairs In
redemption of this promise, the several laws
creating the numerous agencies through which
the states affairs were managed under the gov
ernor have been collected and codihed, with but
little alteration, and few additional sections to
give the whole vitality, and enacted anew as
the code" bill, against which the hue and cry
is raised.
Its purpose is to give to Nebraska better
service for money expended. 1t takes no au-
thority away from the people, and gives to the
governor no power of appointment he does not
already possess. 1t was enacted to give effect
to distinct pledge made in the platform of the
republican party, the terms of which were
plainly set before the people. The fierce attack
now made on it finds origin in partisan oppo-
sition. And that ir brief is the story of the
code" bill, which will be told the voters.

Finally the knight got one arm
around the dogs head in such way
as to shut off his wind and hold him

the knight began to pull out the
bristles in the dogs nose.
"Oh, stop! That's cruel!" cried
Peggy, who couldn't bear to see
even a mad dog tortured. The knight
went right on pulling out the bris-
ties, but his gallant steed, which had
kent close at hand during all the ex-
element, turned toward Peggy and
gave her another of those mystify-

"Please stop!" begged Peggy.
