The long advertised drive of the Entente Allies, now in progress, has turned the spotlight for the moment on two new figures. Sir William Robertson, chief of staff of the British army, who has succeeded to the duties laid down by Kitch- ener, is not entirely unknown. His share in plan- | ning the present offensive move has been great, and Kitchener’s fame will suffer none by reason of the credit that must go to his successor. The other great figure is General Sir Douglas Haig, actual commander of the British forces in the field. This is another illuminating example of the “gilent man” in military annals. Haig was very little known, outside the army, till he was called upon to take up his present work after Sir John French had demonstrated the necessity for a change in command. His fitness for the place is now admitted, for he has shown the capacity for detail that is the true'mark of genius. His quali- fications as a strategist will be proven by his present undertaking. War on the magnificent scale of operations in ‘Europe requires imagina- tion as well as tactics, and the test will show if as the requisite amount. Selected for the most difficult task of the war, he has gone about his business in orderly fashion, and is striving to make good on England’s expectations, These new gems in Mars' ruddy crown are shining just now with vivid luster, and bid fair to win places alongside those held by von Hinden- berg and Joffre.

Boisterous hilarity ill-be- comes a season fraught with national anxiety. As To Street Signs. ' Omaha is woefully deficient in furnishing in- formation as to street names and directions feeded by strangers and the Commercial club is on the right track in urging the city authorities to proceed without delay in marking the streets. There is room for disagreement, however, with the added specification that the name be “sten- cilled either on the poles or on the curbing at street intersections.”” All our experiments with stencilled street signs have been either make- shifts or disastrous failures and we should do something more permanent, at least upon the main thoroughfare. If the street names are to go on the curbing or sidewalks, the letters should be of substantial material that will be legible for a reasonable time, for everyone knows sidewalk stencilling does not last inore than a few days, and that painting on poles is not much better. Most up-to-date cities have neat and attractive enamelled or glass street signs attached to their street lamps. Some cities have similar signs hung from the street railway trolley at the center of each street intersection, which if done in Omaha would cover the most important thoroughfares, though by no means all of them. Inability to find one's way around the city is about the only common complaint that comes from strangers visiting Omaha and the cause of this complaint should be removed when the rem- edy is so easy. 8till Wedded to Its Folly. That remarkable literary document sent out from the St. Louis convention as the platform of the democratic party is emphatically clear on some scattered points. One of these is the unqualified endorsement of the administration shipping bill, now pending before congre: That this measure was rejected a yeir ago does not lessen the de- votion of the president and his secretary of the treasury to its provisions, and they will make all efforts to secure its passage. As at present pend- ing the measure does not in any material way differ from the one that failed in the last congress, It provides for the appropriation of $50,000,000 to be invested in merchant vessels ‘for the seagoing trade, these to be sold or leased to private owners, with the provision that the government has a prior claim upon their services in event of war. This means the investment of public money in enterprise into which private capital hesitates to venture. The absurdity of the whole thing cli- maxes in the fact that it is the serious proposal of a party that has always pretended to shrink from subventions of any kind, especially from the payment of subsidies or bonuses. It is also part of the record of the democratic administration that it forced Amerigan ships to pay tolls through the Panama canal, a concession to the shipping interests of Europe. A further anachronism is that the measure will open American coastwise trade to foreign built vessels, thus compelling the /direct competition of our merchant marine with the world in the only field of profit that has been '| preserved to it by protective laws. Objections to the Wilson-McAdoo shipping bill have often been stated, and do not lose any | weight because of the inclusion of the measure in the St. Louis platform. | five months’ payasa nold-over more than _expected, Postmaster Wharton will have good n to carry his smile along with him into Railroad rate discrimination against Omaha must not be tamely tolerated.

The original “birth certificate,” written by hand on parchment, now much worn and faded, is preserved carefully in an air-tight and light-;mof case in the library of the Department of State, Only facsimiles are exhibited today, the original being far too pre- cious to risk in the light and air, The history of this certificate is of consider- able interest. In the second continental con- gress in Philadelphia Richard Henry Lee of Vir- ginia on June 7, 1776 introduced the preliminary resolution, seconded by John Adams. Consid- eration was postponed and on June 11 Thomas {leflerlon. John Adams Benjamin Franklin, oger Sherman and R. R. Livingston were ap- fioimed to prepare a preamble. This committee, nown as the Jefferson committee, submitted a draft of the declaration on June 28. On July 2 the resolution itself was adopted by congress and the declaration was considered in committee, being again taken up the next day, July 3. On July 4 the declaration was agreed to by the committee of the whole, reported to congress and adopted. The independence of the United Colonies was thus declared and thereupon congress ordered the declaration authenticated and printed and distributed to all state assemblies and to the commanding officérs of the army. Accordingly the declaration was issued as a printed broadside on July 5, headed: “In con- gress July 4, 1776. A declaration by the repre- sentatives of the United States of America in general congress assembled.” On July 19 congress resolved “that the decla- ration passed on t{e 4th be fairly engrossed on parchment, with the title and stile (style) of ‘The unanimous declaration of the thirteen United, States of America,’ and that the same when. anrosud be signed by every member of congress.” On August 2 the declaration, engrossed and compared, was signed by the members; those not resent on August 2 affixing their signatures at ater dates; all but one before January 18, 1777. It has been ascertained that of the fifty-six signers more. than one-fourth were not present on July 4, 1776, and seven—Thornton, Williams, Rush, Clymer, Smith, Tayler and Ross—were not members on that date. On the other hand, seven members on that date—George Clinton, John Alsop, R. R. Livingston, Henry Wisner, Thomas Willing, Charles Humpreys and John Rogers— had not the Erivilege of becoming “signers,” for the membership of all but one had ceased prior to August 2, . The first official issue bearing the names of the signers was printed as a broadside in Balti- more under the resolution of January 18, 1777, ordering copies sent to each of the United States, and only four of these are now known to exist, one being in the library of congress at Washing- ton, Contrary to popular opinion, therefore, the declaration was not signed on July 4, the day it passed, but between August 2, 1776, and Jan- uary 18, 1777, and then only by fifty-five mem- bers. The name of Thomas McKean, not in the printed copi. was added later—possibly not un- til 1781, making the fifty-sixth signer.’ Today in History. 1817—DeWitt Clinton, governor of New York, broke the first ground for the Erie canal. 1825—General Lafayette laid the cornerstone for the Apprentice’s library in Brooklyn, 1826—john Adams, second president of the United States, died at Quincy, Mass.

Be sure and have a flag. There is only one flag for the glorious Fourth of July—The Stars and Stripes. W. W. BINGHAM. Good Word for the National Guard. Omaha, July 2.—To the Editor of The Bee: There has recently been a certain smount of unfavarable criticism of the Ne- braska National Guard, a lary art of which I believe is unjustifiable. This eriticism evi- dently comes from uninformed persons, or chronie fault-finders. 1 was @ member of the Nebraska National Guard for four years, and, although I have not been a member since 1913, I am still familiar with its conditions, and I know personally many of the officers and men. When discussing the National Guard those inclined to be over critical uld not forget that militiamen are not professional soldiers in any sense of the word. Members of our militia are recruited from every occupa- tion, and military duty is really only a side line with them, undertaken, in almost every case, because of patriotic motives. During fifty weeks of the year militiamen serve without pay, and the other two weeks are spent in camp under strict military regula- tions, Each militiaman must give up one evening each week to drilling, several days extra each year for parades pecial occa- sions; sometimes two or three days a year for range practice with the high-power rifle, an occasional Sunday for the same purpose, and only when he is actually in camp or at maneuvers does he receive any more sub- stantial benefit than the feeling that he is doing his best for his country. True friends of the National Guard are well aware of its faults, but they can also see the extreme difficulties under which of- ficers and men have worked in the past. Fortunately congress has just passed a bill providing that in the future, officers and men shall receive a nominal payment for services actually rendered. As I understand it, the bill, as pasged, contains provisions which federalize the Guard, making the or- ganization much more of a United States government institution than in the past. The time for criticising the Guard will come after the new system has been thoroughly tried out., I know of many of my friends in the Guard, both here in Omahs and throughout the state, who have worked hard and made grest personal Sacrifices of time and money that the organization might be kept in as efficient a state as possible, and I believe they have done as well, c ring the dif- ficulties, /as any non-professional soldier could have done.
