That the offenses for which punishment is as- sessed weore not serious, being technical in each {ustance and Involving only procedure, does not entirely banish the thought that a re- ferm in methods is needed. The organization of the military aviation service not satisfactory any time. Like of work in the army, It has been done in a happy- go-lucky way, one series of experiments follow- ing another, while the great military establish ments of Burope were bullding up an aerlal navigation arm that makes ours look like boy's play. We have some creditable re- sults, but not without much friction Thig condition I due in great measure to the continual Interference by congress with the work of the army, In no Instance have the sol- dlers been left to work out their own problems without meddling from the politicians, Money and time allke have been frittered away and nothing has been accomplished, because “influ- enee” hag been more potent than professional training, The aviation corps is just repeating the experience of each of the other arms of the service, a process that 1s as inevitable as it and for a army has been at most our achleved in exasperating. The army bills now going through congress could he made to serve a great purpose without Jeopardizing any of the rights of the people, mimply by putting the control of the army into the hands of the soldiers and keeping the poli- ticians out of the service, Bryan Takes Up a Reform Proposed by The Bee. In his current Commoner, Willlam J, Bryan tukes up a reform originally proposed by the editor of The Bee, namely, that the voter should be allowed to prepare and mark his ballot at home and have it eollected by the postman and thus assembled for counting and canvassing, Mr, Bryan asks for voting by mall only for the pri- mary, but this merely proves that he has not thought out the subject, for there is no good venson why it should be extended to the pri- mary, but not to regular elections, He also bases the demand on alleged disadvantage of present polling arrangements to the farmer as compared with the eity dweller, when the true foundation Is the need of readjusting the elec- tlon machinery to present-day conditions for accommodating the voler and according abso lute equality of opportunity to all voters regard- less of where they live. The editor of The Bee outlined the plan of voting by mail to members of the last Nebraska leglslature, in his address on the short ballot program, and expressed a personal conviction that thig would be one of the coming developments In election reform to keep our government fully responsive to the will of the people. Permission’ to Feed the Poles. Russia has announced a willingness to per- wit the United States to send food supplies into Poland, for the relief of the starving women and children of that devastated country, Six centers for the distribution of food and cloth- ing will be designated by the czar's government, to which supplies from America will be admit- ted. . Outside of these the Germans will be charged with the responsibility of making provi- wion for the helpless and Mstitute. Just how this limitation of the work will finally affect the situation may only be surmised, but it is not unreasonable to think that the six centers for American activity will shortly become the most populous in Poland, The assent of Rus- sia to the plan will surely carry with it the ac- quiescence of England and France, and the United States will thus be permitted to partiel- pate still further in the war by assuming the care of more of the innocent victims of the dreadful strife. Poland's predicament is especially unhappy, but its people will find the response to their appeal from America as sympathetic a8 generous as did the Belgians and the Serblans and Holland Feels the Pinch, The Duteh are experiencing more than ever the effect of the Shortage of wheat and flour has placed the populace on “war bread" rations, and a vigorous goIng up.

In the course of demols ition, which render the ground plan of the old theater plainly visible, a terracotta bust fell from #ome conoealed niche, Put together, the fragments made a possible bust of Hen Jonsen, and fitted a bracket on the side of a door frame of the old proscenlum. Bearch for a corresponding bracket on the other side of this door frame led to one being found; and, standing securely upon 1t, & bust which everybody at onee exclaimed must be a bust of Shakespeare, For, they argued, it can hardly be fm- sgined that Sir Willlam I)'Avenant, who claimed to he Bhakespeare's mon, would have placed a bust of anybody but Shakespeare on a bracket opposite a bust of Ben Jonson. Nor (as to the value of thy txcovery) can it be Imagined that Sir Willlam would hive tolerated ‘an tnadequate or worthless |ikenass. Thess considerations led to the bust being purchased by the Duke of Devonshire for 800 guineas, and pi rented to the Garrlck club, And, Indeed, If genuine at all, this bost 1s easily the most valuahle llkeneas we possess, The face in that of & man who had passed the maturity of middle age; serious, rather stern, and inflexible, seamed and careworn (perhaps (0o much so, since Shakespeare himaelf died aged only 6 years), It iy perhaps more the face of a capitalist than of a post; n self-contained, stern, but not an unkindly man of affairs Conjectural authoritles, therefore, are to thelr own opinjon or thelr own judgment to whether the bust represents socondly, whether it is a conjec from D' Avenant's memor alsted by the memory of others who Xnew Shakess onre in life, or whether it {s an actual survival from Shakespeare's own day, for which he himself sat, Tt is incomparably finer ‘and more satiafactory than olther the Stratford bust or the Droeshout engraving, nelther of which it resembles In a single lineament or detall, or even falntly suggests remanded fivat, an Shakespeare: and, tural likeness drawn of his putative father, ase After all, probably the best portralt s that drawn in words by von Herder I hava In mind an immense figure of & mar site ting high on & rocky summit; at his feet, storm tempest and the raging of the sea;. but his head is in the beams of heaven.

LINCOLN, Neb., April 18<To the B4} of The Bee: In the midst of the Clamor of the office-neeking multituds, pormit me to eall the attention of the Nobraskn publie to the very valuable, Important and thoroughly well prepared report -upon the first year of the Ne braska workmen's compensation law, just Iastied from the state labor bureau. I am #lad to do this without solicitation for two reasons First, becauss of the very great impor- tance to the state of Nebruska of the applieation of this new principle In mod- ern soclul lite~that the cost of goods sold Upon the market shall contain the cost of caring for the dead and wounded upon the industrial battlefield where thess #00dn were produced Hecond, because of the special Interest attaching to the subject of workmen's compensation In Nebraska, which arose from my wervice aw secretary to the com misslon which spent, in the ageregats, weeks of time during the year 1913 In considering the aubject and framing a law. Members of that commission, consist ing of C. D, Traphagen, A, L. Weatherly and ¥, M. Coffey of Lincoln; Vietor Hose water, A, C. Weltsel and ¥. 1, Ellick of Omahs, and 1, D. Bvans of Kenesaw, came to know the different aspects of the subjoct as they never had dreamed of knowing it, during the months of In- vestigation which preceded their regort The bill subsequently enacted by the leg- falature was truly the product of the com- mission's work, although it exactly cor responded with neither the majority nor minority bill of that commission. Tt was ennoted by o legislature most of whose members had to take the judgment of those who had more time to study the subject than they had during the hurry of n busy session. It was placed upon the statute books and fortunately its ad- ministration was committed to one of the members of the commission who had shown a thoroughgoing Interest and breadth of information upon the subject, Th initial report of the bureau of labor upon workmen's compensation in Nebraska deserves careful and intelligent reanding at the hands of both employers and employes in this state, The work- men's compensation law enacted in 1913 needs amendment. If it is to bo wisely amended, the data afforded by this docu ment deserves careful study, for in it we have the beginnings of definite in formatfon upon the actual workings of the present law in this state A.

OMAHA, April 18.~To the Pitor of The Bee: I note that Adah Price writes from Delta, Colo, that the American people treated Admiral Dewey very shab. bily. For truth's sake we should remem. bor that the much-vaunted Dewey vio- tory was over & few Spanish tubs that could not shoot within half a mile as far a8 Dewaey's guns, All that Dewey did was to stay out of range and batter these Spnlards to pleces.

His admirers gave him a fine home In Washington, furnished so completaly that all he had to do was to hang his hat on the hall rack, and what did Dewey do? He married a dealgning widow and gave this house to or and on the day that he did this foolish, sentimental thing he was hissed when he went to the theater in Wash- Ingten.
