REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS LIGHTER DURING AUGUST ' Real estate transfers in Omaha were lighter during August of thla year than last year. They were lighter than during August In 1112 also. Real estate men say it Is difficult to form any definite con clusions from matters of this kind, how ever, as the figures from month to month fluctuate up and down, according to large deals. March and April of this year showed larger transfers than the corresponding months of last year, or the year before. Each of these two months showed a larger total of transfers than the corre sponding month in either of the two previous years by some 1200,000 In round numbers.

What Germans Are Fighting For and Why German-Americans Sympathize OMAHA. Sept. .-To the Mitor of The Bee: Thanks for publishing mjr answer to the c ourif r-Jmirnsl s comment on- "The (Jerman In Ametlca.' That paper has al teady found It necesarr three days later to defend Its two and a half column edi torial by four column more of calumny. Fort inatrly It publishea on the same page a two-column letter, "The Hrltlsh End of It." by Frederick Kdwln Smith, a British government official, exposing thereby Its source of Information and the flimsy frame upon which Its editorials are built, flight here let me say thst, for yeara. England has maintained In this country a well financed and organised svstem to prejudice American public oplVilon In Its favor and to poison It against Oermany. I It Is notorious that a certain New York dally lias been liberally subsidised uy Kncllsh interests, and It is simply arnas' ing that the Cpurler-Jotirnal should hold public opinion In the Inited State In such contempt as to believe any consld erable number could e Influenced by Its Palpably biased opinion. The only charl tame view to take that it is Ignorant of, the history of Europe during the last century, as well as of the Intelligence of the American rending public. It holds re sponsible for the war Herman autocracy and proclaims its sympathy with the aJ 1. Including Russia, as "fighting the battle of liberty against despotism Think of It. Russia fighting again' des potism. Think of the cxar's manifesto to hi "beloved Jews,' who are now prom ised the moon from heaven If they will only be Itusslan patriots. Who ever hoard of Russian promise being kept? Hoes the Coin Irr-.loiirnsl believe that England and France could keep Itusslan greed In check if Germany ihotild be defeated? Read Slenklewlcx's (author of "Quo adla "With Fire and Sword." if you would get an Idea of the Russian, char acter when Inflamed by wax, or an Ink ling of what you may expect of the Cos sacks In Berlin. Th csar tolls what his soldier are when h assures them that Ihey must not become scared by -an eclipse of the sun, because It la "a per fectly natural phenomenon." The Courier-Journal's denunciation of ihe Oerman-Amerlcans' sympathy with their motherland In Its crll, with hun dreds of thousands of. blood relatives bleeding on' the field of hsttle, is so In congruous and impudent thst It Is scarcely worth an answer. If German-Americans were lacking In this sympathy the United States would have good cause to be ashamed of them. There are thirty-two million people in these United Slates of foreign birth and parentage. Who will blame them for ympathy with the land and the people of their, or their parents' birth? Who will galnaay the tlea of blood? For all that, none are more loyal Americana than those of German descent, none fought more bravely for the preser vation of the union. It la a deliberate Inault for the Courier-Journal t say that "the flerman-Amerlcana who feel as Her man Rldder does, and who are shooting off their mouths In safety, should be on the Uerman firing line." Bless your soul, tens of thousand would go there If they could only find- a way. Another Insult, dictated by Ignorance, la the assertion that no many Germans came here to scape military service. True, dnlv so far as escaping the military drudgery In times or peace, forty-four years of It. a nerlod during which all the other great nations were embroiled In some war. ee how uulckly thoy enlisted In the union armies When there was fighting In sight.

O. B. DETROIT 48 Four years ago, Howard K. Coffin, the great II tDSON designer, started to build this Ideal 8lx. The whole HUDSON corps of 47 engineers worked with hint.

They have faith In their government and their leaders, of which the kaiser Is the chief, and therefore follow him loyally for the good of their country's cause. They would be dastards were It otherwise. And yet, many of them may look for ward to the time when further constitu tional rights can be' secured and may hope for the time to come when even the dream of a republic may be realised. But to expect them to It down trust ingly like the lamb besldoe the lion, with the menace of Russian aggression in the east, of revengeful France on the west, ana jealous rcninnd on the north, Is snj, insun 10 their Intelligence. If the Courier Journal had kept trark of events in Eu rope during the last sixty years it would know ,that Russia la, indirectly perhaps! at the bottom of thla terrible connict. Kver alnce the first Crimesn war, when England, trance and Italy (Sardinia) united with Turkey In keeping Russia out of the Mediterranean, It has stead fastly and persistently planned and worked and Intrigued to get a nice, free harbor someway or somewhere. It was with the ol.Ject'of frustrating that ambi tion that the other powers refrained from driving the Turk out of Europe. Con stantinople has been and is the key to the Mediterranean from the " east as Gibraltar la fiom the west and while Turkey lock-he exit from the Black sea. Russia Is foiled. It was driven out of Port Arthur by the Japanese, and know now that the only may to Con stantinople Is through Berlin. Russia's success, next to Germany's loss, would Injure Great Britain most. 'The Conrler-Jouinal an "Germany's scheme 'la" world conquest." It, knows that I not true. It kn ws that Germany did not seek to annex more territory, be cause , It has no use for It. Germany knows that It cannot successfully or profitably amalgamate with its onn population any foreign people. ' Germany was satisfied with Its own borders and sought .expansion only In colonic. . n outlet for Its' surplus population. It sought omy expansion of trade by legitimate competition and wanted only "the open door." the same as the Inited States want in China. It wanta to be left un disturbed and unthreatened.ln Its peace ful pursuits of science. Industry and commerce. The Courier-Journal quotes from an ar ticle written for German military circles by a staff officer on "How to Invade England or the United States." It Is merely another proof of Its ignorance, and that It seeks to prejudice public opinion In thla country. It should know that such articles are published merely as scientific treatises of hypothetical question In an academic way, the same as propounding a hypothesis In mathematics or ehemla try to a class, so thla problem, was pro pounded to students of strategy, have no doubt that the Vnlted States Military academy gives similar problems on "how to Invade Canada or Mexico, and It Is, silly to mention It In this connection. On the other hand. I call attention to the notorious editorial in the London Satur day Review some yeara ago, holding stating that England's 'prosperity could only be seoured by Germany's annihila tion: "If Germany were tomorrow wiped off of the face of the earth, there would not be the day after, an Englishman who would not be the richer for it.

Germanlta esse delenelam! Down with Germany." Perhaps you will recall the wave of anti-German agitation when British Jlngolsts. supported no doubt by Ger many's enemies abroad, only three or four jeers ago, caused plays to be en acted on many Bngllsh stages picturing an invasion of England by Oerman troops and committing brutalities l. English homes, for the pernicious purpose of In citing nstlonal and personal hatred. It Is positively shameful for the Courier-Journal to rehash and quote from the New York World such silly trash as "Who could conceive of an American army officer's murdering women and mangling children by bombs hurled from an airship at night and upon helpless wounded in hospitals under the Hd, Cross flag" or, from the New fork Hun's, "An Apology to Hen," when it Is perfectly satisfied In Its own mind that such atrocities have occurred only In the fertile brains of either terrlfted and hysterical fugitives, or unscrupulous war correspondents, who must supply the public with sensational reading matter at any cost, and whose reports would be censored If they contained anything favorable to the. German cause. The Courier-Journal, In fact, in another part of the same' paper calls such stories "fantastic tales." German-Amertcans, or United States cltixens of German descent. If you rather have it, do not ask its native-born fellow citizens to become Oerman partisans, but also feel that" they have a right to ask that they ahall not become Russian, or French or English partisans. They merely ask for fair play, aind denounce only the flagrant attempt by papers like thu Courier-Journal .to poison the public mind with untruthful or biased statements about the German cause, which cannot but Injure their adopted country to which they have sworn loyalty, a loyalty which no one has a right to assajl. Already the Courier-Journal utters a veiled threat that If German-Americans do not cease to sympathise with their motherland, the curse of A. P. ,A. Ism will be let loose upon them. And yet the Courier-Journal proclaims Its past and present friendship for the German In America. What hypocrisy next? But what can you ex pect, when the cxar addressed hla "be loved". Jews?

Only fools will view without rontempt a cartoon, auch as In VUfe" picturing the emperors of Germany and Austria on horseback, stabbing with their words a female figure nailed to a cross and marked "civilization."
