b 1 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE FOUNDED BY EDWARD ROSEWATER. Omaha's Record for the Yea: Omaha has just closed one of the most sat- isfactory years In its history, and now locks for- | ward to greater activity, more energetic effort, and more worthy mccomplishment. BSatisfaction with what has been done rests on eubstantial basis, Twelve months ago it was asserted that unusual opportunities lay within reach Omaha, and that tremendous progress might be | expected. The achievement has Justified the | prophecy. Not all has been done that might have | been hoped for, but enough of advance in every line is presented by The Bee in its annual re- view this morning to warrant our citizens in con- | gratulating themselves they did so much.

Small Knowledge and timber shouldn’t be much wsed tili they are seasoned. ~Oliver Wendell Holmes. Pleading for the Poles. Today is designated by the president as a special occasion on which relief is to be donated for stricken Poland. The pitiable condition of the innocent inhabitants of this distressed coun- try, caught between the upper and nether mill- stones of the war Iin which they have had no volce, has been frequently presented, and need not be further exhibited now. The Poles are in a plight of destitution that transcends even that in which the Belglans were found a year ago. That same generous spirit of human concern which moved Americans to provide relief by thousands of shiploads for Belgium will cer’ tainly reawaken to bring Poland the succor re- quired. No organized movement in this section has as yet been provided to undertake this work, but the American Red Cross society will be re- sponsible and work with the American Polish committee organized in New York. Dr, P, L. Hall, at Lincoln, is treasurer of the Nebraska Red Cross assoclation, but any bank or newspa- per in the state will recelve and forwerd dona- tions.

Property-owners and taxpayers are especially interested in the program of the city council be- ginning with the session on Monday. That day has been set apart by the council for taking up for consideration the city budget. Kstimates submitted by heads of the several departments of the city's administration exceed by several bundred thousands of dollars the maximum pos- eible revenue of the city for the year. This means that the most vigorous pruning must be resorted to in order to bring the expenditure within the limit of the income. A number of unnecessary items have been included in the es- timates, and these can easily be removed, but will not suffice to produce the required reduc- tion. Other cuts must be made and with due regard for proper economy, which may easily be effected without crippling the proper service of any department. It is quite possible that the presence of interested citizens at the council chamber while the budget is being discussed wil) be of material assistance to the councilmen in reaching conclusions, —— Complaint is heard in Voston that at least fun citizens to one job have advised the repub- llean governor-elect of their readiness to assist 0 restoring to Massachusetts for the first time The sheep of the west are svswering the question that used to be asked by democratle free traders.

' of | | 1915—A Retrospect From the Outlook, NMsw York, Naver has the world been 8o united as In this yeatr of war, 1915 As metals fuse under great heat, so have the people of the earth fused under the heat of war. KEven those portions of the globe that are remote from the com- mon Interchange of civilized life have found themselves welded with the rest. Singhalese and Canadian, Rus sian peasant and Itallan nobleman, Roumanian and American, have shared with the Englishman, tho Frenchman, the Bulgarian, the German, a common 6x perience This is always what happens In the face of a great calamity. The fire that devastates the city makes both the millionaire and the tramp refugees, and sumes, for the time being at least, the barriers that ordinarily separate them. In the face of a commbn peril strangers can In an instant become comradés. What has happened often to a village or a'eity or oven a larger community has now happened to neaily the whole world The fortunate ones are not thofe who have escaped this experience. Rather are they to be pitfed; for they are the exiles. To have sat tranquil and content, un- moved by what has stirred the rest. of manking, is to have been visited with s great misfortune. Bome who have thus sat peaceful In. these days are like Peter by the brazler, chooding to' warm himself rather than share with his Master the glorfous uqflflc«: bur others are merely victims of citcumstance, not to be blamed but rather to be commiserated with because they have not shared in the common lot. Rather are to be envied those who have been free to enter into this experience and serve. Nome are ao happy as those who have beéen doing their part near the flames, Under this common experience the histories of many nations have flowed together to malke for at least this year one world history. Heretofore there has been the history of France, of Germany, of Eng- land, each touching others at the edges. Tn other years the great events of one nation might have been unknown to the history of many another. Now, how- ever, the greatest, the most outstanding event in every nation has been the one world war Thus out of dfvision there has risen unmlon. The very wrath of man has brought forth a world sym- pathy. A while ago the American might ignore the man of ¥rance and his problems, leave out of account the Englishman's doings, forget the plans- and ide: of the German. In this year 1916 no American, unless he was illiterate or stranded in some remote corner, could help wondering what the Germans were planning and thinking of, what the English were doing or fall- ing to do, how the French were meeting the problems of their land, and the fortunes of peoples concerning whom he once knew little or nothing—the Belgians, the Servians, the Poles—have become his concern, to be read about and followed from day to day as are the fortunes of his neighbors in the same village or on the adjoining street. But more than this, in the year 1915 the world hae come to value as never before its common possession which war has threatened—the public law of nations. As a military episode the sink- Ing of the Lusitanla was negligible; but as an experi- ence of historic significance it can never be forgotten. This erime shocked mankind into seeing for the first time its own dependence on law. This crime gave to the world a taste of the horrors of anarchy. Until this year 1016 intérnational law was for the most part the concern of -the diplomatist, the interest of the specialist; now It has become the possession of the plain people, Tt 1s not war, of course, that has really made one family of all the nations of the earth. They were of one family from the begthning.. It is not war that has even enabled the nations to know one another, for the rallways, the steamships, and the telegraph and telephone have furnished the intercommunication out of which understanding grows. What this year of ‘war has done has been to awaken by its cannon the World's dormant sense of union, its desire for mutual understanding. And slowly out of this sense of union, out of this desire for understanding, there has grown in every civilized people a sense of its obligation to the rest of mankind. We cannot speak for others as well as Wwe can for ourselves. Americans, we are sure, will confess that during this year 19156 they have learned much about themselves. They have learned that, Wwhereas they thought they were bold, they are really somewhat timid and unwilling to endure suffering and thankful to pay a high price for peace. They have Jearned that, whereas they thought they were soldler- like, they were really ignorant of the sclence and art of self-defense, which Includes the defense of thelr national obligations. They have learned that, despite their doctrine of a hundred years that the function of the United States is to police the hemisphere and even at times the world, they are really ready to let the police work of the world be done by other nations. They have thus learned much about thelr own weak- nesses, but at the same time they have discovered that they were not as indifferent to European affairs as they thought they were; that, in spite of thelr pro- testation against becoming Involved in entangling alliancey, they have been by the very nature of things somewhat entangled in the concerns of Burope.

We would receive some very interesting Informa tion, T am sure, if these questions were correctly answered. I believe we would find that the people who are back of this legislation are the ivéry ones who are trying to hold the Germans in bondage for their own selfish | endm in politica, while they endesvor to | make the uninformed American believe that they control the Gefman vote.

Such afforts are unamerican. In their re- resuits, they are detrimental to the perfect amalgamation of nationalities which must take place before a new and distinetive American race can be formed. Intelligent German-born Americans see and condemn the dishonest methods which are employed to force their fellow- countrymen to further the selfish ends of certain individuals, W. F. STOECKER.

THE CRY OF PEACE., There breaks the peace of a perfect day, Anq,all the wealth of a nation lay At the foot of a cruel and merciless war, When victory's won, the applause to soar. O'ver all the world, Oh! such a fool, To wreck a human life, to rule, To reign supreme, and thus cut down, Your fellow men, for fame renown. A nation's love is sweet to feel, But bitterness lhmufh woes congeal, As loved ones, struggling gasp for breath, In trenches, bloody traps of death. And Oh! God's common_ people, we, To flirt with death and misery, To force a war with greedy lust, And fall at last on common dust. For there a nation once so proud, In all its beauty, is but a shroud, At the close of war, the brilliant 1tght, It fades, we view the awful sight. The unprotected, shattered home, ‘The sad and helpless stand alone, And to this home the wretched cling, And wait the message, ‘‘Peace” to ring. A helping hand to lend across the sea, But holst our flaz o'er us the free, long may America's grand old name, Be free from wars cold bloody fame.

NORTH LOUP, Neb, Dec. 20.—To the Editor of The Bée: While we are talk- ing about preparedness, why not sup- pose that an army of invasion of sev- eral million men attack us? If that army be divided, one part of it would sure invade from the, Gulf of Mexico. If the army could overrun the country of the Mississtppl most of the resources of the nation would be fn their possession. THat would cut off the iron mines of Minne- sota, the iron, coal and oll of Missourl, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Kansas, with the great wheat and corn fields of the central states. Such an invasion would starve the east within six montns. If all the great factories are located In the east they would fall into the hands of the enemy as soon as the Miasissippl val- ley were captured. The more large guns and the more large factories in the east the greater the temptation to invade from Texas. The great factories and the natural resources #hould be located together. If ever an invasion is attempted, which would really require preparedness, the Missis- sippl valley is the part of the country, which if held by an enemy would bring terms of peace as that enemy should require. If the old confederacy might have had the present resources of Minne- sota, Jowa, Missourl, Kansas and Neo- braska the confederacv would have stood. The nation that keeps a large part of their coal, oil and minerals in the ground for future use, as needed, rather than being too anxious to kill the markets with them, in the nation that will have the best chance to stay. Ex- portation and wasting of the natural re. sources is one grand mistake.
