Certalnly-a systematic study of economic reconstruction is tn Imperative duty.

Unless Germany consented to arbitrate her Venezuelan claims he would order Dewey at noon ten days later, to proceed to the Venezuelan coast and prevent, by force of arms. If necessary the landing of a German expedition. A week later Von Holleben called again on the president. Ha talked on various matters.

The on matter, however, he did not touch on at ail was Venezuela. But when he rose to go, Roosevelt asked him bluntly what answer he had receive, from hia government. Von HoUben was light-hearted about Aaother Hit "Daa." (New York Herald.) With their usual cunning, which Is not cunning at all as the fox sees it, the Huns have launched their second drive against the Fourth liberty loan. This is the absurd talc, based on a "report from Sweden." that the kaiser has abdicated. The old and overworked legend that Hjndenburg had resigned after a flerco squabble with tho All Highest hardly had been well spread when along came the big r.hcll of the German attack on the loan "The kaiser has quit!" The point of all these stupid tales is so obvious that it la not necessary to mention It.

There is one response: Buy another bond! Also remember: The Hohenzollerna never resign. Once In a while one dies but not on the battlefield. Harrison -owed his political 'prominence to hia record in tha war of 181S. Zach-ary Taylor came back from Mexico soon to find himself elevated to tha highest place within tha gift of the people, and Grant put off the martial uniform of his country to wear the robes of the chief executive. Thus we see tha rreat generals of our various struggles, foreign and internecine, hava never failed to receive the appreciative endorsement of the people.

It is entirely within the line of possibility that General Pershing will find the rose of official authority blooming at his head if he cares to pluck it. He Is too much absorbed in this war to give his political fortunes a thought; it has probably never occurred to him that the future would open for him along that avenue. In the event of his presidential nomination It is hard to say out of which national party camp he would come, for even in an intimate biography he is not "placed" as a democrat or a republican. He seems to have been too busy, being a soldier all of his life against the Apaches, against the Moroin tha Philippines, with Kurokl In Manchuria, on our border and over the Mexican line hunting Villa, and finally in France to give much time to politics. Hut If he Is nominated, whichever side puts him out wW have an asset hard to overcome.

The millions of men who fought with him tn this last great war will remember only that he Is "Black Jack Pershing," who dared for their safety and well-being and who led them to final victory, and the ballot boxes will hold the record of their affection. On the other hand, the man who has been so thoroughly a soldier all of his life may not be persuaded "to change his spots" and become a political marker. He will have world-wide fame enough to satisfy any ambition, asd he may prefer to be recorded In history as a general without a superior rather than risk becoming president. the senate, but moat of these mistaken 1 gentlemen have been properly flealt with by ttei constituents at the primaries. If there had been no evil Influence outside of Washington, such as the untimely presidential candidacy of Theodore Roosevelt and the anxiety of the profiteers to preserve the swollen gains after the war by means of plutocratic tariffs, it is probable that the partisan outbreaks in the senate would have been less noticeable.

It is to be remembered, however, that even in that body some of the president' most loyal supporters' hav been republicans, like Nelson and Borah, and some of his most unreasonable antagonists democrats, like Chamberlain. i When this congress met a year ago, last March, the house of representatives was so evenly divoted politically that its organization began a personal rather than a party. If Mr. Mann could have commanded the rotes of all republicans and independent of republican leanings, he and not Mr. Clark would have been speaker.

In spite of several deaths and resignations the party division remains so close to this-day" thai if republicans were disposed to take advantage of absenteeism they might easily control affairs. Considering the fact that the great majority of republicans and democrats in both branches have sustained the administration in all its war measures, the necessity for the re-election of a democratic congress. as such, and solely for the purpose of war is not apparent. It true that a republican congress bent and twisted by Theodore Itoosevelt and the patriots of protection and privileges, founded upon an economic war after the peace, would bea calamity, but a republican congress generously Inspired need not excite epprehension. For example, if such a thing were possible who should care If faithful republicans were elected as successor to Kitchin of North Carolina.

For F.conoulc Re-voaatracttoa. (Chicago Daily News.) Congress can find various useful hints and reminders in tho report that has been Issued by the federal department of com merce on the problems of economic re construction" that will face the world after the signing of peace treaties. The report emphasizes the fact that the United Mates lags behind other nations In this vital matter of preparedness for economic reconstruction after the war.

Certain departments and bureaus have done valuable preliminary work, but the report recognizes that "the time is now ripe for more centralized, concert effort." In Ihe main, what nations are planning to do In the economic sphere after the war la summed up In the report as follows. They are all reor-tranizlng and Improving their respective facilities for foreign trade, providing lor control and supervision of the use of their natural resources and arranging for state aid to private or seml-publlc enterprises. Now, as the report points out, some of the steps proposed In Kurope may be unnecessary or Impossible In the United Slates. Government Interference with trado and commerce, or government participation In Industrial activities. Is not popular with Americans.

Still, the United States cannot Ignore the tendencies In other countries and cannot assume that during the difficult period of transition from war to peace conditions American trade and commerce, at home and abroad, wllltake cara of themselves. 11 eaidea. there are things to be done along lines of economy snd cflciency that Involve no asa i the matter.

Husker first string waded thru the Cotner line and skirted the Bulldog wings for six touchdowns and three goals from touchdown on Nebraska field in Tuesday afternoon's practice matinee. The game was halted at the end of the third period. The score was 39 to 0.

Nebraska played a grand game offensively. TJhe defensive side of the play was not quite up to the brand that must be displayed Saturday against Notre Dame. Comer made three rirsrdowns; which proof that the Bulldogs found an occasional opening. Just to prove that releasing the burden of captaincy lifted something of a weight from his shoulders, Schellenberg played a remarkable game. He unerring In his sending and receiving of forward passes and was a glutton when it came to eatrhg up the ground at straight football.

Captain-elect Hubka also bore down upon the Cotner defensive like a big ship run amuck. "Schelly" was elected captain pro tem. just prior to the Iowa game with the understanding that he was to be released of the duties before the next big game. Because of the uncertainty of the personnel of the team from week to week in war time, it was decided to make the term of leadership ane of short duration. The retiring captain has in reality been something of an assistant coach.

He knows the game from A to and is popular with the players. He is not only a tower of strength physically, but is possessed of a stock of gray matter that is always working. Many Forward Passes. Nebraska completed a dozen forward passes "that were good for consistent gains. Her virile offensive baffled the visitors and the marching forward process was seldom halted.

Shortly after te Huskers possession of the oval for the first time in the opening period, Schellenberg, on a punt formation, broke away for a forty-yard run. The back field consisted of Howarth at quarter, Schelly and Newman at halves and Hubka at full. Brestel was unable to appear because of an examination. From left to right, the line that started the game was composed of: Hartley, Kriemelmeyer, W. Munn, M.

Munn, Dana, Lyman, Swanson. A. dozen substitutes were used and during the third quarter the team was largely made up of second stringers. Swanson and Howarth showed up so well that they made Coaches Kline and Schissler look like profiteers. Schelly, Hubka, Swanson and Howarth were entangled in a series of fancy passes.

The score was Just light of the necessary mark to make it a point a minute. M. F. Jones, principal and coach of York high, officiated as referee. He announced that in all probability the York-Lincoln game will be staged here on November 8.

York plays Beatrice' at Y'ork Saturday. An offer carrying a liberal bonus was made the Lincoln management for a Thanksgiving game between the two "tea.ms at Y'ork in the event that the Cambridge game is canceled. The offer, however, was not accepted. Lincoln High Wins. Lincoln High defeated the Huskers HI on the highjSchool practice field Tues day, 13 to 6.

A forward pass, Deffen-baugh to Lewellen, netted sixty yards and a touchdown early in the first quarter. Later in this period Clark fumbled while attempting to circle the varsity rookies' end and Reynolds, who recovered the leather chased forty yards for a count In the second period, Pugh intercepted a forward pass and cantered fifty yards for Lincoln's second and final touchdown. The game was divided into ten minute quarters. "Brick" True, old Lincoln High star, was the referee. BOCKJiB SITS PRETTY.

Castro protested vociferously to tha United States. John Hay, secretary of state, answered that the Monroe doctrine did not mean that the United States would preserve any South American nation from the consequences of Its own financial in discretions. The so-called "pacific blockade" con tlnued for a year. Numerous neutral ves sels were sunk. Hay lodged an emphatic protest and urged arbitration.

The al lied nations refused, and on December 8, 1902, England and Germany broke off dip lomatlo relations with Venezuela, Intimat ing that the next move would be the bombardment of Venezuelan towns and the occupation of Venezuelan territory. At this point President Roosevelt took charge of the negotiations. He saw that in the invasion of a weak debtor state by a naval or military expedition lay a threat against the Monroe doctrine. He ad vised the nations to come to an under standing. England and Italy expressei their willingness to do bo, but Germany refused, declaring that any occupation of territory would be only "temporary.
