The Lincoln Journal takes what seems {0 us the sensible view of the “harmony mass meet- ing"” called to endorse a set of delegate-at-large candidates to represent Nebraska in the coming republican national convention when it answers objections by saying that meetings of this kind are in conformity with the spirit of the direct wrimary rather than in violation of it, as furnish- ing discussion and recommendation to enlighten the voters in makidg their personal choice. Neither the editor of The Bee, nor anyone are not disposed to condemn in advance any move that leads in the direction of solidifying the republican ranks into the united phalanx necessary to success in the battle of 1916, We are not so concerned as to the particular individ- uals who go to Chicago as delegates provided they are reputable, representative and trust- worthy, for we are sure they will have pretty definite instructions as to what they must do there before they receive their credentials What is equally to the point, as the Journal reminds us, the voters have a veto on any “slate’ by whomsoever put up and, if they do not ap- prove, they can and will break the “slate’” and register their preferences as they see fit as be- tween all who may be running. So everything will depend on whether the “harmony mass meeting” makes wise or foolish recommenda tions—for if foolish they will be of no avail. For ourselves, wé reserve judgment till is disclosed. Dutch Disturbing the Doves, Disquieting news comes from The Hague, where the doves who followed the flight oi Henry Ford and Frau Schwimmer across the rolling brine find their slumbers disturbed by the presence of Dutch soldiery. It is, perhaps, no intentional discourtesy, but the Dutch were certainly negligent in some of the essentials of that fine hospitality for which they have long been noted. They might at least have provided noiseless accoutrements and soft-soled boots to meet such emergencies as the present. It is wrong that the cogitations of the peacemakers should be upset by the grind and rattle of an artillery car drawn! along a stony street. Why are not these cars equipped with rubber tires, or, better still, why not dispense entirely with these mili- tary demonstrations until the doves are a little more thoroughly nésted and domesticated? They are due to stay in Holland for a long time, if they wait until peace is accomplished, and it's up to the Dutch to make them comfortable. Still, it would be just like the practical-minded in- habitants of the Netherlands to go right on, at- tending to their own business, regardless of the disposition of the voluntary guests Troublous Times for John Bull. In all their history the English people have faced no such crisls as that now presented to them. Division of sentiment on matters of policy i3 common enough among the inhabitants of the United Kingdom, and civil war has frequently been waged In settlement of questions not so momentous as those now involved, With re- verses to the army abroad, disasters to ships at sea, and discontent verging on revolt at home, the government has on its hands a task that will require the wisest of statesmanship to adjust. The keenest of political acumen will not excoed the requirements of directing the present dis- cordant forces into the harmonious action that must be had for the preservation of the empire. Blunders may be forgiven if retrieved, and John Bull yetshas his chance. Recent misfor- tunes ought to awaken the British to a course less bumptious and more cnergetic than has yet been pursued, Patriotism ig not dead among the people/ and will readily respond to a proper call. Politics seems to be the most dangerous symptom of the malady at present, and only when it can be allayed will the prospect of re- covery be improved, The next few weeks will mark an important era in the history of the Brit- ish empire. Labe] on the Bottle. The supreme court of the United States has Just decided that the label on a bottle of medi- cine Mmust not contaln a patent untruth, or prom- ise to cure a disease for which there is no known specific. This gives authoritative support to a practice already fairly well established. Prom- Ises to cure incurable diseases are certainly made with intent to deceive, and are not indulged in by reputable firms or individuals. Disagreements of doctors as to methods of medical practice are briefly considered by the court, and are left in the twilight zone, wherein individual taste or predilection may still determine choice of ways whereby to be cured. Some day the doctor who profess to perform miracles will be put in the same class with the vendor of nostrums now on the proscribed list. Common sense may never overtake beliefs in the matter of search fof re- liet from misery and disease, but it can protect the helpless. The New York World, staunch champlon of the democratic administration, refers to Senator Gora of Oklahoma “as being more definite in his opposition to the president than any of his pro- German colleagues, except those like Senator O'Gorman and Senator Hitchcoek.” If the World keeps on this way it will make it awful hard for these worthy senators to pretend to their con- stituents to unswerving devotion to the cause of President Wilson and get away with it, ——— In reorganizing the School board commit- tees, would it not be a good idea to recognize the usefulness of all the members instead of merely those elected on the citizens’ ticket last year?

HE upflare of heavy fighting on the Russo-Galician |'T | frontier reminds us that winter in itsslf need not foree a suspension of operations. midwinter battles a year ago in east Prussia, in Ohampagne and on the Alsne. 1f there is a pause in the west and In the Balkans it may be because winter has not settied down on these regions as it has on Russia. But it is also well to recall that the conflicts | of last winter, impressive enough by the standard of ters of the present the Marne, Ypres, West Galicia—were fought In the fall or the spring. Ready though all the armies ars for sacrifice, there are limits to human endurance, and on both sides the leaders have recognized that they must have suitable weather before they can cali upon their men for the best that is in them. Winter, therefore, is the season of preparation. The new lavies receive their final training. Guns and ammunt- tion are piled up. Positions are mapped and studied to the minutest point. It was after & winter's prepn- ration that the British delivered their first great as- sault of the war at Neuve Chappeile last March. Tt was with a phalanx buflt up during cold weather that There were big | previous wars, do not measure up to the great encoun- | The decisive battles of the war— [ ! | the Teuton armies shattered the Russian line in Galicla In May. Now that the war has become more than ever a test of engineering and mechanics, the trenches are for the time being of less importance than what goes on behind the battie lines. But the wintey of 1916 is likely to witneas a kind of secret operations for which the time was not ripe & vear ago. The men In the trenches will be thinking of peace, and peace will be in the minds of the leaders and the statesmen. It is time for invertorying and casting up accounts, Bethmann-Hollweg did not say the last word when he declared in the Reichstag a month ago that It must be the allles who ask for peace. The allied statesmen did not say the last word when they reiterated their determination to fight to the end, and reasserted the formula of no separate peace That is part of the game. Unofficlally, we may take it that some inkling of the terms on which Germany would be willing to6 make peace has reached the allled capitals; and the other way about. Pre- cisely because winter is a time of feverish preparations | for a continuance of the war, it is a time when gov- ernments may be Induced to ask themselves what will be the advantage of going on. Germany says, in effect, I have another half million men almost ready to take the field in April”" England says, “Here is another million and a half men, volunteers and con- soripts, whom 1 can throw into the scale.” Russia acts rather than speaks. Her armies, once more on the offensive, are the best reply to the German contention that Russia 1s out of it. And within the national fron- tlers the separate governments are engaged in heart- to-heait talks with their people. Food, recruits, taxa- tion, casualties, are the topica that press for attention in the long winter evenings. For Germany, as she balances her books for the year, the account stands someéwhat as follows: On the credit side are her visible conquests in the west, in Russia, in the Balkans; and the unbroken spirit of her people. In the west she has reached the limit of her offensive; but it Is not impossible that in the east and in the south she may pass on to fresh victories. On the debit side is her food problem—not instiperable, but still a problem. There is the consideration that her strategic problem is not solved, but that the ring of her enemies is still unbroken, the Balkans 'after Russia, and when the Balkans are disposed of, Russia again. Prospects of a separate peace have disap- peared. At home there is a desire for peace to this extent, that a large section of the population does not think annexation of tereitory worth fighting for any longer, or desirable In any case. Germany is In the anomalous position of claiming a victory on points and at the same time asserting that she can hold out for years. A victory that needs years of untold sacri- fice to be demonstrated is hardly a victory, Among Germany's énemles the situation is stinl more complex. If talking of peace Is a confession of weakness, they dare not venture on the thing publicly. It would confirm Germany's claims with regard to the military situation, For Germany, holding out is to some extent a matter of choice. For the allles, it is & matter of necessity. Time is undoubtedly with them But the time needed for a victory is so indefinitely long, and the sacrifices necessary are so definitely assured, that the allies may well think it worth while to bring about the meeting of minds in which the realities of the situation shall be recognized. The crucial facts are the: A decisive victory is In sight for neither party. “Victory," when it does come, will be measured by shreds and fragments, Both sides speak of holding out. But the statesmen on elther side must have some idea of what they are holding out for. Knowing this, they must be weighing the bitter cost of holding out against the risks involved in making overtures of peace. \ On both sides there is a great longing for peace. An unemotional war critic like Major Moraht speaks of the desolation of the winter trenches, of the severo pressure on the souls of hundreds of thousands of the educated classes. Things are not very different In France and Russia. The feeling is not unknown fa England. It may be only a question of seeking the way out. The present winter will find many people in Burope looking for it eagerly. Generals may be preparing for a drive against Saloniki, against Bgypt, against the German lines in Flanders and Champagne But we take it that men are also preparing some kind of & drive towards peace, Twice Told Tales An Ungallant Hobo. A hobo knocked on the back door of a suburban home, which was opened by a large, muscular, hard- faced woman. “Get out of here, you miserable tramp!" exclaimed the woman in a screechy voice, at the first sight of the hobo, “If you don't march straight for that back te I will call my husband ‘I guess not,” was the calm response of the tramp. “He ain't home. ‘Is that so, Mr. Tramp?’' was the scornful Joinder of the large lady. at home?" “Because,” grinned the hobo, backing toward the aforesald ga when a man marries a woman like you he is home only at meal time.

THOMAS KOZIOL, Bditor Western Star The American Viewpoint. BROWNVILLE, Neb, Jan. 11.—To the Editor of The Bee: I must take excep- tions to Henry Arp's German viewpoints in The Bee. That is the view of some of the Germans of the Boy-Ed brand, but not all by a long way. There are lots of people of German birth In the United States who are true Americans, but not all. They came to the United States to better their condition and keep their sons out of the kaiser's slaughter pens and not to pattern this country after the fatherland. Mr. Arp makes over a column of charges against the English speaking people and does not prove onme word of his charges. We Americans know what made this country and what it is and who has kept it as it was given to us, And thank heaven there are enough true Americans to keep it as It has been handed down to them. 1 was in the civil war nearly four years. There were lots of soldiers that were of German birth, but they were true Amer- lcans and were fighting for thelr homes. They were not atfected with the kaiser- itis. In those times. I wonder if Mr. Arp ever read the Declaration of In- dependence, the constitution, and the history of the United States. (I fear not.) It makes me tired to hear men talk- ing about béing German-Americans, and English, -French and other kinds of Americans. If they are true they are Americans before everything; if they are not true they have no business here. The Arp talk is all hot air of the guper- heated varlety. I want to tell himthat President Wilson is an American from head to foot and the Americans will be behind him or any other president when the laws are to be enforced. The trouble with Arp is he has a bad case of the kalseritis, which has settled on the brain and an operation might hélp out, but I doubt it. F. M. HAIRGROVE. R. F. D., Route L The Art of the Dance, OMAHA, Jan, 11—To the Editor of The Bee: After paying real money to see the recent performance of Miss Ger- trude Hoffman inour city, and seeing this sald performance, I am at a loss to express my idea of it in Chesterfield- ian language. / \ If Miss Hoffman Was the possessor of graceful lines, I could understand why she might appear on the public stage in the nude, i e., for the sake of art, but ne doubt even Miss Hoffman is aware of the lack of this quality. It it was to {llustrate the text that weak woman could bring the mighty brute man to her subjugation by her charm and inflaming of passion in man, I think ‘we poor mortals are pouring oll on the fires by patronizing such entertainments. Bven 1, as the tough-skinned repro- bate I am, could not discuss this topic face to face with anyone, and as far as 1 can see, If Miss Hoffman cannot at- tract the crowds in any other manner, she had better give up her ambition in faflure for the benefit of poor humanity. AN ARTLESS MA Why Bother the Postmaater. YUTAN, Neb.,, Jan. 11,—To the Bditor of The Bee: Siuce last Monday I have had a great deal of amusement in read- ing the articles of our mew matrimonial agency in Omaha. We realize the fact that Postmaster Wharton is not in it for a money making proposition, but for the joy of making two hearts happy that would not have been made happy without his assistance. 1 am sure Mr. Wharton is not aware of the fact that there are thousands of children through- out the United States that have aTather or & mother in some neck of the woods, they know not where, and eventually tivs children become inmates of orphanages and are later adopted out to people that naturally hold their own offepring above the one adopted. As those children grow older they begin to realise the difference in the treatment of the children that really belong to the parents. Then they become dissatisfied and soon they hit the drift, and by the time they are 1» yoars of age they have made great rec- ords. Mr. Postmaster, don't you think you are making a mistake in your effort to furnish the Texas widow with a hus- band? First, I believe if the widow is worthy of a husband she would have no trouble in getting one in the largest state in the union. Then, too, & man who has to wait for an opportunity of this kind to get a wife from a far-off country undoubtedly has something marked against his past or he would have no trouble finding a nice, respectable woman in his own home territory that would make him happy and without bothering Mr. Wharton so shortly aefter the holiday rush, which has kept him working until late holrs for so long.
