Cadorna Unjustly Blamed.

An Italian military commission has just
committed what seems to be most un just act,
intended to dim the military record of one of
the real heroes of the late war. 1t has placed
blame for the Caporetto disaster on General
Cadorna, holding him responsible for the de-
preston and lack of morale that brought such
overwhelming calamity to Italian arms. The
report takes note of the contribution from So
cialist and clerical propaganda, yet lays the
blame on the general who had written one Of
the brightest chapters in the history of his
country
Cadorna is not politician, but a soldier.
From the beginning he had the opposition Of
the socialists and the clericals-strange COM
bination of interests, but one that was potent to
unhorse a German imperial chancellor also
and while he was fighting his way through the
Julian Alps and the Dolomites, and planting
his guns on the plateau that commanded the
passage from Vienna to the Adriatic, these
politicians were mining the ground behind him
with propaganda. 1t was touched off at Ca
porettd and the rout followed.
And now nation deliberately betrayed by
its own citizens is asked to believe that its
greatest soldier is blamable for the results
brought about by the schemers. The report of
the commission may be accepted by the Italian
government, but history will some day shed a
strong ray of light on the secret councils of
those who so nearly turned the course of the
war by their treachery.
Omaha daily bee., 1919-08-16
Basis of Social Unrest

The wave of social unrest which is passing
over the world at the present time might have
been predicted by any careful student Of. his
tory. Every great war in the past has brought
an aftermath of this sort. The unrest of today
is more widespread and more acute because
the war was such vast affair in comparison
with all previous conflicts.
1t takes but little reflection to realize that the
world cannot be ripped up by its roots as it
has been during the last five years, without un-
settling most of the old economic relations and
impairng faith in the old social order. War
places premium on force, notion reason. on
violence, not on deliberation and compromise.
This war has promulg ated more than any other
war in history, the doctrine of force without
stint" as the means of getting results. Surely
the whole world can hardly be expected to pass
through this unprecedented stress and return
to peaceful pursuits without an infusion Of iron
in its temper.
Ordinarily the material destruction which a
great war brings in its train would turn mems
thoughts to economy and retrenchment. But
in the United States we have had no great ma
terial destruction in the ordinary sense. On
the other hand we have spent billions so lavish
ly as to propagate the idea that the resources
of the nation are absolutely without limit This
babel of voices calling for the substituting of
so many things out of the public taxes>is one
of the results. Considerable sections of our
people have lost all sense of financial proper
ton. They imagine that our resources are
boundless while as matter of truth we have
been burning them up at terrific rate during
the last two or three years.
The war. moreover. has impaired the habits
of industry among millions OF men, not merely
among those who were actively in the service
but among the still larger number who found
themselves diverted into new fields of work by
reason of the emergency. Getting back into
the old grooves is a slow process. We must
not expect readustment too quickly nor by un-
wise measures seek to hasten it unduly. 1t will
take its own time as it has done after every
other war in human history.
In word, the present unrest cannot be ex-
planned on economic grounds alone. 1t is in
part at least psychological and goes far deeper
than any mere question of wage and price

WAR ON TURKEY BUZZARD
Live Stock Commission in Texas Says
Bird Spreads Anthrax Germs.
From the Dallas News.

rom the DallaS news.
Fort Worth, Textile turkey buzz
zard, once regarded as a friend of
mankind and protected by special
state laws, is now regarded as an
enemy. and the state live stock COM
mission, in a special bulletin, ad-
vises that the unattractive bird be
shot, trapped or eXterminated in any
way that will serve to put an end
to it.
Ruthless war on the buzzard has
been declared because it is the opin-
ion of scientists connected with the
commission that the scavenger bird
in eating the carcasses of infected
cattle carries the germs of anthrax
to other herds and thereby spreads
one of the most deadly diseases
found among beef cattle of the
great southwest.
Anthrax, or Charlton, is a very
dangerous disease, and is transmits
sible from animals to man. When
ever a person has reason to believe
that the disease exists in a commune
ty it should be reported to the COM
mission, so that an investigation may
be had and remedial measures ap
piled. There is great possibility of
anthrax being spread through care
less, indisc1iminate or injudicious
handling Of the disease. and the
products used for its suppression.
Anthrax vaccines should only be adj
ministered by those who understand
how to administer them and who
have received special training in
work of this kind.

The Proper Caper

The president is entitled to credit for wise
move when he notified striking shopmen that
he would not consider their requests for in
creased wages until they returned to their work
and recognized the authority of their leaders
with whom he would be obliged to do business
In taking this step. the president emphasizes
principle of uaioaism which is being dsre-
garded quite too frequently in these latter days.
and that is that the union men must accept and
abide by the action of their officers. The REM
sedy, if they DO not approve what the officers
do. is new officers.
The strike among the railroad shopmen is
largely unauthorized so Jar as the central or
ganization is concerned. In the case of col
lective bargaining it is essential that represen-
tatives OF employees be recognized and sup
ported by the men themselves; otherwise the
principle cannot long persist.
The striking shopmen have come to them
selves quite generally and returning to
work, while the railroad administration is try
ing to work out the wage Minneap-

Another Weak Railroad Solution"

The "Warfeld plan" for solving the railroad
situation presents in some aspects remark
able similarity to the Plumb plan. Chief of
these is the guaranty of income on railroad in
vestments. 1t is a we'll established principle
that railroads should be permitted, all other
things being equal to earn reasonable return
on the money invested. 1t is practical fact
that most of the railroads in this country did
not meet this measure of success. Reasons
for this are sometimes obvious, sometimes OBJ
scure but the effect is always the same. To
tax the public in order that an unsuccessful
railroad may be turned into a dividendpa payer
will meet the requirements of the holders of
the stock that is unproductive and therefore Of
only speculative value, but such program is
manifestly unfair to the we'll managed and eff
cient roads that have paid their owners, and
to the public as well. Putting a premium on
nefticiency is not going to help in restoring
the transportation industry of the United States
to a healthy condition.
