Out of complicated and delayed returns the one thing that stands out unquestioned is that Nebraska has gone dry by adopting the prohibi- tion amendment to the state constitution. For many the result on wet and dry has had a more intense interest than the result on the presidency and the campaign has been waged on both sides with an energy and vehemence even greater ‘than the political contest between the parties. We have had a great deal of speculation and prediction as to what would happen if the amendment carried and we will soon have the actual demonstration which: we take it will fall short of what was promised by either wets or drys. Nebraska is now turning its fiftieth year of statehood with an unmatched record of progress and development which must go on, regardless of any change of policy as to the sale of intoxi- cating liquors. War Debts and Dear fioney. Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale university, writing in The Annals of the American Academy of Politi- cal and Social Science, discusses the probable ef- fects of huge war debts on the world cost of money when peace comes. The daily war bill of Great Britain, France and Germany now approxi- mates, $60,000,000, equal to three-fourths of the daily revenues of these nations in the year preced- ing the war. This is exclusive of the destruction of property and loss of productivity, By the end of the current year the five great powers of Europe will have contracted debts aggregating $88,000,000,000, four fid one-half times greater than the total of debts in 1913, and the end of debt building is not in sight. When war ends European financiers will be confronted with the problem of converting short time loans into long time bonds. At the same time the rebuilders of shattered Europe will be in the market for money, The demands of busi- ness checked or suspended by war will absorb vast sums of borrowed money, and the prospect of big returns from revived enterprise insure high rates for quick accommodations. These, together with mountainous taxes, Prof. Fisher regards as forces which make for high interest rates in Eu- rope. To some extent, he points out, money cost in the United States will be advanced, but not as pronouncedly as in Europe. Prof. Fisher emphasizes what other American observers have heretofore pointed out—the rea- sonable certainty of an exodus of tax-burdened people to the United States. “If the war con- tinues much longer,” he writes, “the governthent bondholders will be virtual owners of Europe for years to come. The income tax for the rich may reach 50 per cent. The taxes on the poor may be equally oppressive. Rather than pay tribute for a lifetime to the- bondholders, the taxpayers may, by the wholesale, emigrate to the United States. Wealthy people, of more fore- sight than patriotism, after taking good care to sell out any holdings of government bonds, may change their residence to where taxes may not seem to be donfiscation. The fate of European nations would then be similar to that so common to ‘assessment’ insurance companies, which, after gaily loading up with obligations, lose their pay~ ing membership ‘and go into bankruptcy.” Agriculture in the Future, Nations now at war will 'not forever engage in fighting, and even with the armies in the field, economists and politicians at home are planning against the day when the noise and the gas and all the elements of destruction will be hushed and done away with. In Canada a genuine boom in agriculture is anticipated after the war, and the government of the Dominion, as well as of the several provinces, is making plans against the time. In New Brunswick, for example, the lands that will be available for settlement are being surveyed and diyided on an established plan, with an eye to the needs of the farmers and the farm communities of .the future. The general scheme is one that will be found attractive, especially by men of small means, who are seeking in agri- culture an opportunity for employment, and the future of Canadian farming may be in some way affected by it. Of more-immediate interest to the American farmer, perhaps, is the future of Russia. The wheat fields of lower Russia have long been the principal rivals of the United States, even with thie restrictions forced on Russian commerce by England and Germany, It is not improbable that the more oppressive of these restrictions will be remoyed as one result of the war, This, with modern methods of farming, will bring Russia into the European field on better terms than ever, Still more significant is the fact that for at least a decade western Siberia has been under- going a transformation that is not generally understood by the world outside. For ten years at least immigration to Siberia has been around 300,000 a year, the settlers for the most part tak- ing up agriculture. The Russian government has quictly encouraged this movement, as well as the establishing of the farmers on a basis of con- tent. Great expansion in this region is looked for when peace comes. These and other similar movements affect the American farmer in that, as production in-! creases elsewhere, his market is cut off. In general, the progress of agriculture in the remote regions of the world is interesting, because it meets the proposition that consumption has been overtaking production at a rate that Baded ill for the future. It will be a long time before the world' goes hungry because it cannot produce enough to feed all. In recent years public indignation and strong arm threats greeted the anthracite coal barons on every side. Their alleged cruelties to the in- dependent miner startled the country and pro- voked measures of defense, lest the big monop- oly strangle competition, throttle the little fellow and gouge the consumer. In the light of pres- ent day conditions in the coal markets of New York, Philadelphia and other coast cities, the sobs of yesteryear appear quite humorous. Offi- cial statements show that the trust has not changed wholesale prices, while the independents, the little fellows, have canceled contracts, boosted prices and are taking all the traffic will bear. A modest fortune of $58,000 survives the good deeds of a practical champion of down-and-out- ers, the late Ben Hogan of Chicago. How much of it originated in the prize ring cannot be stated. Probably the greater part. In that comfortable pile no doubt are some of the huge stock of dol- lars with which Omaha’s bygone sports backed Hogan in his bout with Allen at Hamburg, Ia., forty-five years ago, Tradition has it that the event for twelye hours reduced the population of Omaha to women and children, From an American Woman In a French Military Hospital Madeleine Annunciata Davis' I've been here, the prettiest town in the world —Nevers, Nierre—four hours from Paris, since June 14 and now we are having a lull and I can return to civil life for a day or two. However, it may interest you—my struggles in Paris, Came down here June 14, again a victim of errors, They had not been informed by the medicine chief of the place to expect me. Once in—I am well in. For a while I worked eighteen hours every third day and twelve hours the other days. I wrote to Paris headquarters. Now ex- pect few heart sobs. I began in Ward L Salle des Gravement Blesses. No man admitted who has two legs, two arms and a head unless he is as full of holes as a colander. Sounds sad? I never laughed so much nor so often. I began by calling them “embusque’s” and they demanded what then was I if with two legs, two arms and a head and not working on the firing line—I must be “la plus grande embusque’e.” The Ger- mans can shoot away everything—every or any part of a man, but always there remains his courage and his sense of humor if he be French. A droll poilu—a Parisian whom 1 called M. le Comte de Paris and who addressed me as Mme. la Marquise de Californe—made his toilet with only a tuny tin wash basin and always sang Paris street songs. “Figure you, Madame le Marquise, how idotic are those boches. Tiens! They shoot off one of my legs—I already had two—neither particularly symmetrical. France will give me another—latest style, perfect shape —but figure you what a catastrophe if those awful Germans had shot away my beautiful falsetto voice. Not even France would give me another.” A huge Corsican told me to call him when I went off duty at midnight—he had a purge to take, I called him and he said: “I only wanted to be called to wish you goodnight for it is you beat that for politeness?

The lads need tobacco and cigarets—checkers and any old games, for the nights are so long and pdinful. We can use anything, new or old. We are not asking for diamonds nor automobiles. We have what we call an automobile. I sent up a cry for help and Mr. Williams, secretary of the American Ambulance at Neuilly took up a collec- tion and bought me a wheel table to roll my lads into the dressinq room. I put an American flag on it and call it “Bill.” Bill works overtime, We had thirty-two German wounded. was called to care for them and assist Madame le Comte Lufumiere to do the dressings. They don’t stand pain like the French. A French lad on the operating table is a scream. I have learned alrthc slang of the streets from lads on the table. They like me because I am what is called “rigoleuse” (lover of laughter). We may move out of our present quarters, the normal school, into the old Hotel de France. Hope we do, for there are little stoves here and there is steam heat there. As to the war, you probably know more than I do. French papers are not filling, but it looks like another year. There was one wounded German prisoner rather m;u;; intelligent than the rest, who, in speaking of the captured towns, related that immediately boarding schools are opened up to which German children over 4 are sent, with short vacations. These children even at play must speak German. The idea is to make good German citizens of them and to alienate them !rnn;_their parents. 'He could sce nothing cruel in this. Took a half day's vacation Sunday and worked at the railway station at the Cantone. I don't know how many soldiers from passing trains we fed—soup, stew, salad and cider. Some of us took up collections from civilians on the train. The German wounded were fed exactly as our own wounded, coffee and bread in the morning, soup, meat, vegetable, and one-half liter of wine at noon, the same at night, with the ad- dition of salad. The best surgeons operated on them. When necessary they were sent over to another hospital for radiographs of their wounds. They had a beautiful garden to* walk in. They were allowed to write home twice a munlh—f’ctlers sent through the Swiss consul, of course. There were ten sentinels at the door. They were a peaceful lot, not anxious to leave.

Authorities in New York and New Jersey threaten to pull coal dealers before grand juries and yank out of their inner consciousness the working model of a conspiracy to boost prices. Meanwhile, prices are aviating and the prosecu- tors talking for public consumption. The alumni of the Shortridge High school, Indianapolis, after canvassing the names of men and women who contributed to the upbuilding of the school, finally picked upor the janitor, James Biddy, who had served the institution twenty-five years. Biddy is to be honored with a tablet telling how the boys and girls of other days admire his fidelity and helpfulness, In explaining how some of the taxpayers’ money produced certain harmonious votes in street improvement in San Francisco the Chron- icle relates that a strip of basalt black pavement in the center of Haight street was torn out and replaced with paving brick. The charm of the change is that the shade of the brick harmonizes with the brick and stucco manions of Fred Stuhr, a city supervisor. Property owners will con- tribute $5,152 toward this work of art.
