When Faith Was Lost.

In the course of long and labored sermon
to Henry Cabot Lodge on the subject of the
Shantung amendment, which was voted down,
the esteemed World Herald says:
He has proposed to upset the movement
for League of Nations rather than have ef-
fective the clause in the covenant of the
league which provides that Japan shall return
the sovereignty of Shantung to China within
period of ten years
Where do you get that? The covenant Of
the league as contained in the treaty contains
no such clause. The nearest approach to such
a thing is contained in Article Xxx, which pro-
vides for the abrogation of understandings not
consistent with the covenant. If the section Of
the treaty awarding Shantung to Japan is in
consistent with the covenant, why is it made
part of the same compact?
Article x pledges league members to respect
existing territorial rights OF each other. The
lease" by which Germany held Kiaochau and
other territory in Shantung runs for ninety
nine years from March s, 1898, and therefore
has seventy-eight to live. Under the treaty of
Versailles Germany renounces all her rights,
titles, and privileges" flowing from this lease
''in favor of Japan" and the covenant of the
League of Nations confirms Japan in possession
of and succession to this German "leasehold"
wrested from China under duress, without any
assurance other than the promise of the Japa-
nese diplomats that it will ever be returned to
China.
As matter Of fact, no student Of japanese
history and policy deludes himself with any
idea that Japan will restore, the lost province
to China. For it is lost province now, and
the United States is made party to the loot
ing. If any faith were preserved in this mat
ter, it was when the republican senator's voted
against the section Of the treaty that permits
the wrong. Whatever of faith was lost went
when the president of the United States disre-
garded the principle he had laid down, and gave
his assent at Paris to the perpetuation of a
grave injustice. No amount of sophistry or
vague and general special pleading can cover
up this ugly truth.

GET BEHIND AK-sAR-BEN.

The Bee once more takes pleasure in conf
mending the purchase of stock in the Ak-Sar-
Ben exposition enterprise We have several
times given reasons why this particular ven
ture should be made success beyond any
equvocation or doubt. II means the extension
of great public undertaking for the good OF
Omaha In twenty five years Omaha business
men have spent in round figures something like
$2,000,O00 on Ak-Sar-Ben. This sum has come
from membership fees, subscriptions, carnival
receipts and various sources. 1t has all gone
to the support of the institution, whose service
has been incalculable, and whose permanency
was long ago established, Now it is proposed
to lift the institution to higher plane, where it
may expand its usefulness by adding 4 great
exposition to the annual fall festivities. That
Omaha men Of means should support such an
undertaking does not require argument. 1t is
to the interest of the community, and that Of
the country served by Omaha; it means more
business for the future, just as Ak-Sar- Ben has
stimulated and encouraged business activity in
the past. A long list of good reasons for sup
porting Ak-Sar-Ben in this new departure
might be arrayed and none against it. Push
the drive, and make it winnerl

Roosevelt

He was found faithful over few things and
he was made ruler over many; he cut his own
trail clean and straight and millions followed
him toward the light. He was frail he made
himself tower of strength. He was tinlid; !;
he made himself lion of courage. He was
dreamer; he became one of the great doers of
all time. Men put their trust in him; women
found champion in him; kings stood in awe
Of him, but children made him their playmate
He broke nations slumber with his cry, and
it rose up. He touched the eyes of blind men
with fame that gave them vision. Souls be-
came swords through him; swords became SER
wants of God. He was loyal to his country and
he exacted loyalty; he loved many lands, but
he loved his own land best. He was terrible
in battle, but tender to the weak; joyous and
tireless being free from self pity; clean with
cleanness that cleansed the air like a gale. His
courtesy knew no wealth, no class; his friend
ship, no creed or color or race. His courage
stood every onslaught of savage beast and ruth
less man, of loneliness, of victory, of defeat
His mind was eager, his heart was true, his
body and spirit, defiant of obstacles, ready to
meet what mil ght come. He fought injustice
and tyranny; bore sorrow gallantly; loved all
nature, bleak spaces and hardy companions,
hazardous adventure and the zest Of battle
Wherever he went he. carried his own pack;
and in the utterrnost parts Of the earth he kept
his conscience for his gude.-Hermann Hage-

A good belt axe, or tomahawk,
will do most of the work of the or
binary heavy axe and does not re-
quire as much strength to handle.
You can cut down fairly good sized
trees, chop logs. whittle out and
drive down tent pegs, lop off
branches, and split FIRE wood with
it.
Try chopping logs before you at
tempt to fell a tree. Clear away all
vines and underbrush within reaci,
OF your moving axe; it may catch on
them and cause serious accident;
then stand over the log and, swing
ing your axe from right to left,
make long cut on the side away
from you-not on top-diagonally
across the grain of the wood. Gig,
~ If this does not reach far
enough, try again, then chop on the
base Of the chip to cut it entirely
off.
Do not hurry. Take deliberate
aim and strike sure, unwavering
blow. Don't try for too deep cuts;
that will wedge your axe and means
hard work. Make the notch, OF

reaches half way through, go

Warnings that should be needed were given
by Secretary of State Lansing when he ap-
peared before the senate committee on foreign
ulation and control Of passports for those who
seek admission to the United States From
the reports in his Office he has much informa-
ton on that subject He says there are thou
sands of undesirable foreigners clamoring at
that will permit them to come here Among
the number are many who would come for the
sole, purpose of spreading propaganda Of boil
shevism and other organizations that seek the
overthrow of orderly government. Large num-

SERVICE OF SUPPLY.

Tkis is the tale of the Transport
The song of the swarming road,
Where we edge along and wedge along
With the moaning, groaning load,
Over the slippery highway,
Over the moorland bleak
Buddie, your way is my way.
Up where ths heavtes speak.
We have the eyes of owls.
We drive while the night IL thick.
Though the piercing north wind howls,
Wen stickI BY God, we'll stickl
Well hold to the line before us,
Well cling to the beaten track,
All the hymns Of hate In chorus
Never could turn u back.
Oh. it's follow, Buddis, follovi
Hang to the car aEeadl
Over the hill and hollow,
Hurry! You'll soon be dsadl
Through the deserted village.
By ruins rotten and rank,
Where you're cursed II you double
oh, it's onward, ever onward
Up to the blazing line,
They are waiting, boy, they are
Up Where the star shells shine,
1t is ours to roll and rumble
To juggle the jag of steel,
Till down like log we tumble
Asleep at the quiverlng wheel.
1t isn't q case Of nations,
Or color or caste, or creed;
But tho Guns and the Men need rations
And that ts the word we heed,
And az long as the line moves forward,
Or the fires of fury flow,
Well hold the road with the. iron load.
