Omaha's Garbage Nuisance.

The city commissioners are reported to be
considering plan to make hve-year contract
with some one for the collection of the house
hold offal of the community. This merely
means to continue that much longer condition
that has been menace and bother for many
years Each summer trouble ensues over the
method of disposing of refuse from the city
homes. The system now in vogue has been
given thorough trial and its many unlovely
features are we'll known to all. Its greatest
drawback is that the contractor expects to make
a profit and to do so he does not hesitate to
sacrifice efficiency. He puts penalty on house
holders, with the consent of the city, forcing
them to comply with rules of his own making.
This alone is enough to condemn the system.
Omaha is plenty big enough to take hold of this
vital feature of city housekeeping and carry it
on in way that will give satisfaction. That an
individual finds in the plan now pursued a
source of profit is not a reason for its perpetual
tion

Allies Debt to the United States.

Many months ago presumably generous
impulse found expression in the suggestion that
the United States remit the debt owed by the
Entente Allies for money advanced to prosecute
this war; This debt now amounts to almost
ten billions of dollars, the greater part Of which
is loans to Great Britain, with France as the
second largest beneficiary. No intimation has
come from either of the European debtors that
such remission would be acceptable, while the
British and French have expressly made plain
that they do not expect nor would they well
come any action looking to the forgiveness OF
what they consider a proper charge agans,
them on the war ledger.
Frank A. Vanderlip recently made state
ment before the foreign relations committee of
the senate, in which he said: There is dis
position in those countries to feel that it would
be wise and just for US to forego our demand
for the repayment of the large amounts of
money we loaned" 1t has been contended this
would offset in some degree the greater sacrl-
fees made by the Allies and serve to balance
the losses in the war. Back of it, however, is
disclosed the effect it would have the credit
of the debtor nations. A group of American
bankers is concerned in the rehabilitation of the
credit of Europe, process that would be facili-
tated by the remission of the debt Comment
ing on Mr. Vanderlip's statement, the London
Times says:
We believe that no idea of any remission
of loans made to Great Britain by the United
States has ever been entertained in this coun-
trv Heavy as our financial war burdens are
it is not beyong our strength to bear them:
We are grateful for the great financial, and
for the naval and military help given to US
and to our Allies by the United States, but we
neither expect nor have we asked to be re-
lieved of our full share of the obligations we
incurred in order to ensure the triumph of the
common cause.
French sentiment has found similar utter
ance. The great free peoples of Europe are not
insolvent, nor reduced to place where they
dare not face their debts. The rebuilding of
Europe will be conducted business basis
'and not on charity.

Omaha, June 29.-To the Editor
Of The Bee: When Mayor Smith
wrote the letter that the city COM
mission was a rank failure he GER
tainly hit the nail on the head. All
but Butler. Butler showed his pop
ularity and his honesty to the peo-
pie of Omaha when they gave him
the highest vote, and hts depart
men has been very satisfactory since
he took hold of it. He should have
been the mayor and he would have
been credit to the town, instead
of the present mayor. He sure put
one over when he told our chief of
police to turn Kelly over or turn
in his badge. To think of Eberstein
being chief of Omaha when we have
a man like Henry Dunn, who was
chief before him. You never saw or
heard of any of these hold-up, boot
logger and false arrests. Dunn has
more honor and good judgment in
his little finger than the present
chief has in his whole body. The
idea Of the chief of police trying to
get this man Hegg to tell a lie on
the stand. This man (Hegg) should
have the general support of the peo-
pie and they should not let him go.
Hoping the people will soon recall
Ringer and Eberstein and put in
Henry Dunn or some other good
man. C. C. CONNOR.
Real Missionary Work.
Seneca. Neb., June 27.-To the
Editor of The Bee: Some time ago
l saw an article in your paper of
what was being done by some Omaha
firm to Americanize the Italians
working for it. I thought it might
be of interest to know that this great
work was being done in our little
village, too.
Last fall one of our christian
women, Mrs. R. E. Sayers, organized
a class of Mexicans to study English
and at the same time to help them
to become christian American citi-
zens. She was assisted in this work
by DR.. D. M. Sayles, but soon the
epidemic Of influenza and other
stress Of business caused the burden
to rest entirely upon Mrs. Sayers,
who has worked on untiringly, hav-
ing classes Tuesday and Thursday
evenings and Sunday afternoon.
The writer, in talking to one of
this class short time ago, finds that
although he couldn't speak a word of
English last September, he can con-
verse with ease now, using gooa
and correct United States Ian
guage." He tells me Mrs. Sayers
has done all without any pay from
any one. This missionary and Amer
icanization cause is great one.
May others help in it.

EURoPE'S FOOD PROBLEM.

Signing of the peace treaty has not brought
the chief of European problems much nearer
solution. Food still is scarce and prices range
continually higher Complaint is heard from
all countries on this score, and serious danger
threatens the existing governments because of
the inability of hungry people to get enough to
eat. World peace problems have overshadowed
domestic affairs in most countries, where now
the people are confronted with the impossible
ity OF making deprecated currency stretch over
war-infated prices, especially when these are
further aggravated by peacetime tendency to
prohteering
Food is available for the allied countries and
the neutrals, and with the lifting of the en-
barge, Germany will be supplied again from
the outside and Russia will receive much that
has been held back by the embargo on ship
ments through Germany The United States
wheat yield is now estimated at l,256,000,000
bushels one-ffth greater than the largest crop
ever harvested. In the Volga valley, according
to reliable reports, the Russian peasants have
planted enough to ensure a supply for their
own needs, while the Siberian yield is also ex-
pected to be nearly normal This will not af-
feet western or central Europe, however, where
dependence is mainly on the United States and
Canada for -four.
Starvation does not impend, but short ra-
tons will be the rule till prices are readjusted
sufficiently to enable the workers to provide
for their needs from their earnings. Industry
is slow in revving in the lands just emerging
from the war, and the gravest concern of the
governments now is to care for their own peo-
oIe How to feed and cIothe the masseS is Oct
ting serious attention, because on the method
adopted will depend whether serious political
upheavals are to be prevented. Food not only
won the war, but it will greatly determine the
course of peace.

There are wild beasts and many

Jaw, shoot! l want to go

awful train"
"Zowie, There you go againw
walled Wantit Myway, turning up
side down. Frowning Phil. as
usual, turned over with him.
"Toot! Toot!" sounded the whistle
a second time, and the toy train
began to glide swiftly down the
steep grades.
Peggy was sorry to have Frowning
Phil left behind, but it really was his
own fault If instead of always
kicking and scowling he would learn
to make the best Of things, even if
they weren't Just as he had planned,
he would have as good time as she
and Billy.
And they were having a good
time-such a good time that they
shrieked with glee. The train ran
faster and faster, plunging down
steep inclines, scooting up steep
grades and swerving around alb
rupt curves. 1t was like riding
on a huge roller coaster, except that
they went on and on and on for
miles and miles.
Looking back they saw Frowning
Phil and Wantit Myway starting
along the steep, short path. Phil
evidently didn't intend to miss the
dinner party. Perhaps he would
get there ahead of them and eat
everything up.
"Well, even if he does we are hav-
ing a jolly ride" cried Peggy.
"And 1 guess Joyousness will save
a few crumbs for u.s." added Hope
full Smiles.

T OYOUSNESS balanced herself on

called back an invitation to her pur-

Are you hungry? Come to my
dinner party. 1t will be ready at E
o'clock"
Then Joyousness took the shortest
way down the mountain, fitting
from crag to crag and skipping
boldly across cliffs and sharp
slopes. AS she was light as air this
was not particularly dangerous for
her, but Peggy and Billy shuddered
when they gazed down the dizzy
heights and thought what would
happen If human tried the same
path.
Dinner! I hope she has fried
chicken and pineapple ice." ex-
claimed Frowning Phil greedily.
"Toot. Toot." sounded the To-
comotive whistle, and Peggy, Billy,
Hopeful Smiles and Cheer-up
promptly jumped aboard the train.
Are you going back that same
long. dull way?" asked Phil.
"Of course. It's the only safe
way" answered Hopeful Smiles.

submit all the projects to the people at once.
