He finds a marked difference be- tween a bandit and submarine, remembering, no doubt, that in the eyes of ‘‘watchful walting" these self-same murderous Mexican marauders have in turn been revolutionists, patriots, ser- vants of humanity, before finally degenerating into their present condition of proseribed out laws. The secretary’s defense of the adminis- tration must be satisfactory, for the president absolutely declines to switch his “‘single-track™ mind on the matter of protecting Americans who for the moment are unfortunate enough to own property in Mexico, or have other interests that call them there. Though recognized as de facto president and “our great and good friend,” Carranza has not as yet set up a stationary government., The protest from Washington may reach the migra- tory capital of the ““first chief,” but this gives no assurance that the murderers of American citi- zens will be punished or stopped from commit- ting more murders. Despite the resonant declara- tions of the Carranza clique, that Villa and all his companions have been put owtside the pale of the law, the probabilities are that this latest outrage will be added to the long list of similar oceurrences, accumulated since Mr. Wilson took office, and allowed to stand as “unfinished busi- ness.'’ Under our present foreign policy, Mexicans may with impunity defy all law, international or otherwise, and only European nations are called to account, though with more words thar results The Pinch of Cold Weather. Those of us who enjoy the comforts of warm clothing and warm houses while the mercury is diving far below the zero point ox the thermom- eter, should not forget the pinch of cold weather on those ot so favored. In no community of this richly blessed land, certainly not ip Omaha, should any one be left to endure actual physical suffering and hard- ship from the severity of a storm, Fortunately we have In our eity a goodly number of charitabie organizations that may be depended on to come to the rescue and to ro- double their efforts in times of stress, but these organizations, to do the work that devolves upon them, require adequate support from the public whole. It is, therefore, up to the people of Omaha to respond generously to the calls of the ckarity workers and institutions when the win- ter’s pressure upon them {s the hardest, Latest Figures on War Cost. Here are the latest figures on the toll col- lected by the dread war demon up to the first of the current year, as computed by Theodore H. Price, one of our highest statistical authoritles, from the most reliable data and estimates: THE WAR COST IN LIVES: Last Qetober, Briga- dier General ¥. V. Greene, United States army (ro- tired), placed the killed at 2,000,000, Two months later Colonel Hennseler, the Swiss military statistician, es- timated that 5,000,00 men had lost their lives. These @are the lowest and highest estimates of the fatalifies, Figures compiled by various other authorities lead us to conclude that at least 3,600,000 men are dead and 4,600,000 more have been rendered Incapable of produc- tive labor as a result of the war. This is a total of 7,000,000 lives, The ecomomic value of a productive man is estimated at §2,500. The cost of the war through death or Incapacity may therefore be estimated fa dollars at $17,500,000,000, THE WAR COST IN PROPERTY: Since the ‘war began the seven great powers have voted credits of over $35,000,000,00 and have negotiated loans amount- Ing to over $25,000,000,000, while thelr gold reserve has advanced from $2,130,000,000 to. $3,738,500,000 for the Quadruple Alllance and from $1,007,200,000 to $1,410,000,000 for Austria-Germany. From these figures and others the direct expenditures thus far are estimated at $60,- 000,000,000, 'The indirect expenditures and wastage at $10,000,000,000. Total money cost, $60,000,000,000, These figures take no account of the pension la- bllity incurred, the loss of earning power by men in the fleld and the higher cost of living in war times, PER CAPITA WAR BURDEN: Taking the cas- ualties and money loss together the war has probably cost at least $50,000,000,000 up to date. It is impossible to say what portion of this sum would have been saved Or apent In some other way if the war had not oo- curred. The expenditure for unproductive luxuries hes undoubtedly been curtalled. The war-induced economy of Burope is variously estimated at from 5 to $20 per capita. urope has a population of about 450,000,000 A per capita economy of b cents a day would be 318 & year, or about equal to the estimated cost of the war thus far. It is this elusive factor of economy that makes the real cost of war so difficult to caleulate We continue to belleve that the waste and unproduc- tive expenditure of war do not much exceed those of Peace and that it is very doubtful whether wars really cost anything except human life and suffering, in Which respect this cost is,s0 high that it ought to be prohibitive, Whether or not we accept Mr. Price's con- clusion, these calculations should serve to help answer a lot of questions we are all asking our- selves, —— Mayor “Jim” for Harmeny. One of the high lights of the recent demo- cratic dinner at Lincoln was the glistening dome of Mayor “Jim,” looming over all and shining through the clouds of smoke, the while the leader of the triumphant and militant hosts of Dahimanites loudly sounded his call for har- mony. “Jim's” for the ticket, he says, no mat- ter who's on it, and for the platform, no matter what it holds. This latter is the cheapest prom- ise ever made, for nobody, not even the late sec- retary of state, pays any attention to a demo- cratie platform. Mayor “Jim" also told the newspapers of the state what a nice warm place they can go to, in- tending perhaps to secure a permit from his friend, “Billy"” Sunday, on which to admit the editors to a reserved section in that sulphurous settlement. But he said nothing of the rebuffs he has had from traitorous Bryan, nor of the failure of the ungrateful Hitchcock to attach him to the federal pay roll. All these things, pre- sumably, are forgiven and forgotten, “Jim" has changed his spots, and instead of being a riotous cowboy in the coming campaign, he is to be Y meek and sleek old pussy cat, dozing by the ra- distor. Yes he is—not! Just the same, the democrat who hopes to make a showing in Douglas county had better #ee to it that he ha# the Dabimanites molliftied before he start Satisfactory guarantees of mouderate conven- tion rates have been given by St. Louis hotel men. Participants in the democratic ratification meeting, however, should make sure of a return ticket. - ._.-;,w D, TP and | OMAHA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 1916. How to Become a Scientist Garrett P. Servies. man has asked me how he can devote life to science. It is a singular questior somewhat as if he had asked: ‘“‘How can I Yot become an enigneer, or a doctor, or & farmer?” Still, the young man is evidently in earnest and puzzled how to begin, and 1 have just happened to pick up an old book, a favorite of nine years ago, which fur- | nishes an answer that may interest many others besides this questioner It is a book now “out of print.” 1 believe, though it ought to be in print forever. It is John Tyndall's “Glaciers of the Alps No man ever wrote English more clear and fascinnting than that of Tyndall Although this book deals with sclence, it is litera- ture, with something more substantial behind it than can be found behind most of the stuff called litera ture today » The answer that the book gives to the young man's question is to. be found in its unconscious revelation of Tyndall's mind. It ia in the form of an object lesson. For Tyndall sclence was the high- est order of romance. lie was stil a young man himself when a visit to the slate quarries of Penrhyn awoke in him a passionate desire to know Wwhy siate stone splits off in siabs Thousands ot workmen and superintendents had been famillar with this pecullar property of slate ail their lives, and had never thought of seeking a rea- #on for it. They were content with saying that it was the nature of slate not to cleave. If Tyndall had not mlready devoted his life to science he would have been doing it the moment he set out to find out what caused the cleavage of slate. His search led him from the quarries of Penrhyn to the glaciers of the Alps. Glaclers are immense “rivers of fce,” which, although they remain solid slowly flow down the mountain sides. Tyndall thought that he could find the slate stone's secret in the glacier ice, which was subjected to forces similar to those which, he believed, had affected the stone We are not here concerned with his attack on that problem, but with the practical answer which he made to our question. In the Alps he found himseif in the midst of astonishing things that filled him with awe and delight, but read his descriptions and you will see his inquiring mind soaring above all the wonders to explore their causes. The spirit of poetry is with him, but the passion for knowledge overm ters all else, so that he produces no rant of mers verblage, but the clearest plctures of what he sees; drawn upon a background of reason. The first morning that he awoke in his hotel near the foot of the great white Jungfrau, he started off alone, clambered to a glacler, the first he had ever stood upon, and in spite of the awe that he felt, immediately began noticing and recording the pecu- Har sounds and motions of the avalanches that wers thundering about him. When he heard the echoes reverberating among the mighty peaks, admiration of thelr sonorous and majestic beauty did not prevent him from explaining to himself, and afterward to his readers, how they were produced. I venture to say that there is mot anywhere else so Informing, and at the same time charming, account of the nature of these phenomena as that which Tyndall wrote after hearing the tow- ering Wetterhorn fling its echoes from cliff to cliff, and modulate them by repetition until they seemed to be receding Into iInfinte distance. It was sclence alding poetry to Interpret nature. He goes and looks at the terrific cataract of Han- deck, where, In mid-descent, the white Aarlenbach darts at the yellow Aar, transplerces it, and then both “plunge together like a pair of fighting demons to the bottom of the gorge,”” but, unlike the ordi- vary tourist, he sees and tells about the big stones that go down with the water, and when he sees a rinbow spanning the bolling gulf he finds out and ex- plains why it has a pecullar shape. In crossing the Hochioch to Fend he is assailed by a hallstorm, and notices that each hailstone is a frozen cone with a rounded end, whereupon he is able to polnt out how a hallstone may be shaped oy forces similar to those acting upon a meteor, He wanders everywhere over the mountains, as- cending formidable peaks like the Finstermarhorn and Mont Blanc, or penetrating into the secret ro- cesses of the wildest glaciers and always seeks until he finds the explanation of the phenomena that con- front him. As interesting a passage, of three or four pages, as any book contains is that in which Tyndall de- scribes his astonishment at finding his compass, om the Riffelhorn, poining one way for south and the noon sun indicating just the opposite direction. It was the Instinct for knowledge which led him im- mediately to explore the face and top of the moun- tain with his needle, until he had demonstrated that lightning bolts had turned the rocky “horn” into a great nest of magnets, with their poles pointing in all concelvable directions. It you wish to devote your life to science, do ay Tyndall did; don't stand fast in mere wonder, bu: mix your brains with what you see. Twice Told Tales Too Late. This story was told by Admiral Dewey of the United States navy: One afternoon the business agent for a chautauqua went to a prosperous town to see some of the na- tives with regard to booking a performance and finally landed in the office of Jones. “Yes, 1 am Mr. Jones,” sald the occupant can I do for you?" “I called to see you about a chautauqua,” the visitor. “Nothing doing.” curtly interrupted Jones. “My wife and 1 have already decided on a car of another make. " ~Kansas City Star, “What returned Pald in Advance. In a rural court the old squire had made a ruling #0 unfair that three young lawyers at once protested against such a miscarriage of justice. The squire im- mediately fined each of the lawyers 3 for contempt of court. There was silence, and then an older lawyer walked slowly to the front of the room and deposited a $10 bill with the clerk. He then addressed the judge as follows “Yolr honor, 1 wish to state that T have twice as much contempt for this court as any man in the room."-Youth's Companion.

Jan. 13.~To the Editor of The The unnecessary, inexplicable, cruel is well down in the second year of prosecution, with no sign of abatement hut with preparation on A more stupen. dous scale than ever for spring activity. | It offers fresh menace to us in the sink- ing of the Persia, and the lessons of past torpedoing of our vessels and those bearing Americans, are losing their force with the dominent offender, and the European-Egyptian phase of war pres sure and prosecution bids fair to involve the Asiatic-Indo peoples at an early date, plunging them in the maelstrom of strife.

It has been | pronounced a ‘‘cruel, senseless war more than a year ago by one of the chiet actors in It, and ite cause proclatmed un- | known and utdetermined, It seemed so tor the public and why waged so sense- less and unfruitful as to shame leaders in st? Do men reckon with a Satanic power, the invisible, irresistible, “‘prince of the power of the air’ referred to by Paul in Iphesians 6:10-11, where he enjoins *‘put- ting on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand the wiles of the devil,” adding In the 12th: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood (hu- man beings), but against the principali- ties, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” With this exhibition before us, the acknowledgement made by one of its highest up actors that neither he nor his fellows know why they wage war, how reasonable the conclusion that they are the puppets of the Punch and judy show of the war arena, being handled by that invisible power, “the prince of the power of the air,” the devil, who was In con- trol of the kingdoms of this world from the earllest history of man, from his be- trayal down to the temptations of Christ on the Mount when he offered to surren- der then, but not having been accepted was left in control and would bring on this cruel, senseless, unexplained war, or Armageddon of the last days. He is the adversary which Christ came to put down and redeem man from, He is the ‘seed” which was promised, and yet did not appear until four days of the week typitied were gone, and when two more must expire before he could heal and bind up the smitten Jews as a nation again. Hosea 6:12. But with the fifth day and the sixth almost added to the four thousand (‘“one day is with the Lord as & thousand years”) the completion of the type of six working days is furnished, and we are in the Armageddon which shall usher in the seventh of that type, which s referred to in Hebrews 44— Peter In the second epistile, third chapter, conveying to mankind the ‘keys of the kingdom” which were given him by Christ in Matthew 16:16-20, and the keys now unlocking the Kingdom of Christ out of the ruins of the “kingdoms of this world,” all of them tottering to their fall, that they may be supplanted by the kingdom of Christ, his millenial reign, where the swords and the plows of this upheaval will be beaten in the plowshares of peace for 1,000 years, and nations not learn war any more. There remaineth therefore a rest (Sabbath keep- ing) for the people of God.” It is on the earth, and our leader was made flesh, went from earth into the holy of holies, and returns to earth to be King, and this gospel of the kingdom he proclaimed three years, and commissioned us to proclaim it, and the reward awalits his near return to set up His kingdom. W. 8. ALLISON, Men Needed for Public Service. OMAHA, Jan. 13—To the Editor of The Bee: It has often been eaid, and with truth, that if ever the American people lose their liberty, it will be their own fault. For they have their government, from their local to the national, in their own keeping. And it is important that they pay attention as strictly to their local affairs as to their national, for the local government is neavest to their direct personal interests. This is the year for the nomination and election of all officials In this county and state. The primary election, this year, is only about three months off. All filings for nomination at that primary must be made within about two months Yet little has been sald in the public press regarding this important news. In response to the numerous fnendsi who have looked to me to file again for the state senate, I wish to take this means of saying that I shall not do so. For any business man, whose business requires his own constant attention, and who intends to be true to his trust, can- not afford to give up practically six months of his time, paying his own ex- penses, for the salary of a member of the legislature. 1 cannot afford the burden. Yet 1 believe that the people ought now 1o bhe seeking out some creditable men to file for place on the legislative tickets of both parties. We may be sure that spe cial and certain interests, who are always interested in state legislation, are mnow busy lining up their forces. KEven now in every senatorial district of this state these interests are busy. When you re- call that it is only important for them to control about seventeen votes in the senate in order to do pretty much they like, you will see how important it is for the people to “look a leetle out.” These interests do not pay much atten- tion to the lower house, hecause know that a majority of the senate, after all, controls. If the people themselves default in their plain duty to themselves. will they have any just complaint against certain private interests who take ad vantage of the apathy of the people? There are twelve members of the house »d from | Douglas county. We have plenty of good men who can afford and who ought to file for these places. They should be urged to do so. L. J.
