This paper has enlisted
with the government in the
cause of America for the
period of the war...............
NO STATE UNITS IN ARMY.
The response from the general staff
to the request by Governor Neville that
the former Nebraska National Guard
regiments be brigaded as a unit for
overseas service gives cogent reasous
for not following that course. State
pride is fully recognised at the war
department, but more Important con­
siderations have determined the dis­
position of troops. To begin w ith, Ne­
braska troops, along with those of otb-
er states, lost any distinguishing state
designations when they entered the
service of the government and be­
came an Integral part of the military
forces of the United States.
Since
then more young men have gone out
under the selective draft than were
in the Guard regiments, and no effort
has been made to separate them. All
are inextricably mixed and the read­
ing of the casualty lists now coming
back will show how completely mere
local distinctions have been lost sight
of. This is not a war of states, but of
the nation, says Omaha Bee.
The
forces under the president are not
composed of 48 little armies, but of
one big. general organization, which
the officers are striving to weld into
one homogeneous whole, in which there
will he do rivalry between states, oth­
er than the wholesome and generous
competition of the men themselves to
uphold home traditions.
Advice is something that somebody
who has been through a thing that you
•re Just starting into gives you along
with a pain. It (the advice), is free,
•nd worth it. As a rule, old people
give young people advice and young
people don’t take it Most of the ad­
vice in the world is about choosing a
career and getting married, and both
of these are usually dismal failures.
Once Ln a while you meet a i-enson
who never gives advice and never takes
any. Stick to him. He is a rare in­
dividual.
AMERICAN FIQMTIR.
Every American fighter is In France
In the pink of conditimi physically and
morally. Everyone there Is Inspired
by Intelligent understanding of that for
which he Is fighting.
Everyone of
them I» thrilled with the Ideals of
democracy, says Baltimore American.
And they are all tn a rage agulust the
unspeakable Huns, atrocious In acts
and Infamous in designs. Here la the
secret of the hitting power of the
Americans.
This is why they can
strew the earth wtth the bodies of
their foes while suffering slight casu­
alties themselves. This is the reason
why they can hardly be kept tn leash.
And there are ten million or twenty
million more of them at need. Against
such force, what chance has the might
of Germany?
Secretary Daniels, at
the naval academy, well said that,
should the Germans march through the
streets of both Parts and London, they
would still Inevitably be defeated In
the war for the things for which Amer­
ica is fighting are eternal. There is
not the least prospect of any such
march through the capitnte of the
principal ally nations. But there Is ev­
ery prospect the Americans will see the
war through to that point—the sons
of Uncle Sam and their allies march­
ing through the streets of Berlin. That
is their objective, and they will reach
It.
The spirit of giving is not confined
alone to the American people and the
Americans must keep in practice if
they expect to hold the high record
they have made Ln the past, for the
school children of Paris, a short time
ago, undertook to raise a modest sum to
take care of the first American child
orphaned by the war; la-fore those in
charge of the movement were aware
of what was taking place, the idea
spread throughout the schools of the
French capital until 260,000 French
children had participated, says Galves­
ton Tribune. The sum raised was 13,-
000 francs.
German chemists have invented a
drug, according to their claims, which
will prevent hunger from causing head­
aches or Inconvenience.
There are
plenty of existing drugs which have
the same effect and permanently. It is
not likely that the expert chemist has
Improved on these. As for the rest,
militarism has drugged the people al­
ready to the point of unconsciousness.
The story of the captured U-boat
commander who betrayed four other
U-boats when he feared for his own life
on the British boat they might tor­
pedo is quite probable. The style of
fighting which creeps upon an enemy
to stab him in the back and then runs
from danger is not the type from
which one may expect high-minded
loyalty and heroic self-abnegation.
A German writer, deprecating the
English occupation of Jerusalem, say«,
“The English flag flutters over Jeru­
salem and fear and mourning fill the
hearts of those who are worrying over
the defaming of holy objects and van-
dallsm.”
And this from the nation
that took wanton delight in shatter-
Ing the famed cathedrals of Europe,
and In bombing hospitals!
There is lively argument pro and eon
on the subject of armor for airplanes.
True the German machine which
proved to be the death of Lufbery was
steel plated. Equally true, however,
that it was brought down soon after
it had vanquished him. The opinion
of Orville Wright Is that the armoring
of airplanes is of doubtful utility, be­
cause it makes them too slow as a
rule for easy handling, but he adds
that, if desired, armored planes can
be tamed out at short notice.
Church Directory
A Cologne member of the German
parliament wants air raids on open
towns ended by agreement, so that the
senseless murder of women and chil­
dren may be stopped. That the mur­
der of women and children is senseless
was discovered only when German
towns found themselves subject to that
atrocity.
However, the walking is good. That’l

Only one-tenth of 1 per cent of the

age for civilian life anywhere near as
small? One by one the lying ru­
mors about the character of American
manhood and womanhood In war serv­
ice abroad are being refuted by the
plain, unvarnished truth.

not be forgotten in the event that any
similar appeal is made in the future.”
