Wounds Remarkable in Healing Quickly (Correspondence of The Associated PreM.) LONDON, Sept. 10,-The. rapidity with which the wounds of soldiers are healed and the practical absence of blood poison ing has been a surprise In view of tho "deadly effectiveness" of the modern army weapons. "The antlseptio treatment of wounds almost immediately after their infliction has a great deal to do with the fact that cures are effected In Buch a short time as has been demonstrated in the London hospitals." said one of the physicians in attendance upon the wounded British soldiers. "While surgery has made wonderful strides In tho last decade, the results might have been different were It not KEEP SIEGE GUN SECRET 'l i that the antiseptic preventive measures havo been applied with the utmost effi ciency. "Another very Important reason lies In the fact that the bullet fired from a mod ern rifle travels with such velocity as to obviate the danger of a ragged wou;4, and unless a vital organ lien In the path of it, the recovery presents no overdlffl cult problem."

UKRLIN, Sept. i:..-A member of the uertusn Parl'ament. who for nearly ten years has been connected with the army budget committee of the Reichstag, tells some interesting things of the history of tlie now famous 4'.'-cntlnieter siege guns which served the Hermans so effectively at I. lege and Namnr.

After completion of set net tests lth these gune some time ago, ami the decision of the government to or der a number of them, It wan a problem as to how to keep the matter a secret. "Over forty officers took part In the discussions at which tlie military hudgol was prepared for submittal to tlie budget committee of the Reichstag. When n new clause reached with only the head Ing "arms." the chief of the depnrtiflent of arms requested that for the time be ing tills subject could not tie discussed. At the conclusion of the conference he told ine In strict confidence that Ihe title "Arms" Involved new siege mortars. "The general staff requested urgently that not a word be said of the matter In the committee; not even the officers present had ny knowledge of It. Murk Ammunition Avnllnltle. "Six weeks ago I visited an ammuni tion factory as a member of the arma ment commission and ascertained that any number of projectiles and cases for these mortar could be produced within a very short time. In reply to my ques tion whether these mortars did not wear out rapidly, a director of the oompany said, 'There are not enough fortresses In existence In the whole world to wear out a single mortar.' As a matter ,t fact our army possesses 8.000 mortars of an earlier date which are still usuable." The official North German Oaxette also discusses these new mortars with special reference to their projectiles. It says: "If a weapon of the Herman army has a claim to popularity It Is the 42-renlma-ter mortars which In spite of their huge dimensions have managed to remain con cealed. In fact, the nickname, 'Bummer,' which has been given to these mortars shows how far this popularity has pro- gressed. one cannot be astonished that a shot tiMoli hurls with accuracy a' weight of mm pounds over a epace of a Herman mile to Its goal canes an at 1 mospherle pressure which for miles ; around hurls everything into the air.

An Investment Which Combines Safety With Large Earning Capacity Building company stock has proven by years of BucceSBful experience to b one of the' safest, large profit earning Investments, in which money can be Invested. In cities aU over the United States real estate owning and building companies have, for . many years past, been accumulating millions of dollars of assets In the shape of high grade, well located city property and besides accumulating enormous wealth, they have produced large steady earnings for their shareholders as a result of the enormous volume of business which they have been able to carry on, on account of their large capital and the most con venient and up-to-date methods they offer prospective home builders and real estate buyers. Such companies are able to return larger profits to investors than the ordinary loan eompany or savings banks can pay, because their plan of operation Includes a much wider scope than either the loan company or the savings bank, which secure Interest earnings only. Instead of merely financing the purchase of real estate and securing Interest earnings for the money loaned, they conduct the actual building operations with their own men; they are real estate owners, real estate agents and architects as well and, therefore, aae. able to secure profits from several sources Instead of the interest earnings only. The Bankers Realty Investment Company Is the largest and strongest reel estate own ing and building company of this kind in the Middle West, having at this time nearly $700, 000 resources, representing the Investment and accrued profits of hundreds of people living In Omaha, Nebraska, Iowa and neighboring Middle West states. This company has reached its present prominent position because of its capable and efficient management, and also because it has equipped itself to render the most complete possible servke to men who want to build and own homes or other kinds of buildings, This company renders the services of the ordiuary loan company to the man who must borrow funds to finance his home, and we have our own architects, we are building contrac tors, we are real estate owners and real estate ageuta; we own our own planing mill and are quipped to purchase building materials in large quantities at greatly reduced prices. In other words we have combined the services of many middle men tinder a single management and are thus able to secure profits from several sources where the ordinary loan company Is equipped to secure but one. Investments are made by this oompany In selected olty property and In the business of improving this property by the building of homes and business buildlnge. This is one of the most conservative, non -speculative and profitable businesses In which money can be engaged, as Is evidenced by the fortunes amassed In real estate and the busi ness of improving real estate in this and every other city In the land. The dividends of this company have never been less than 8 nd the last three semi annual dividends were at the annual rate of 8H, The remaining shares of this company's authorised issue of stock are being sold rap Idly so that the opportunity to become Interested in this company Is limited to those who will act immediately. , The foreslthted, practical money making man will, therefore, realise that'shares of this company offers the best Investment opportunity of tho day, for the renson that this company has demonstrated, under a capable and efficient management,, from the very be ginning, that it provides better earning capacity than any of tho other local financial insti tutions provide and at the same time offers the very best and safent form of security that it Is possible to obtain. Investments in any amount from $100.00 up may be made until we reach our total authorized capital of $750,000. Dividends will be paid to Investors from the date stock Is Issued. The security to each Investor Is the same in all cases consisting chiefly of real estate located In Omaha and surrounding cities and towns, and mortgages and contracts of sale on real estate.
