SECRETARY HERE TUESDAY Omaha real estate men are determined that all the eastern real estate men who stop off in Omaha on their way to Los Angeles for the convention of the Na tional Association of Real Estate Ex changee, shall be properly entertained while In the city. A special committee appointed some weeks ago to solicit fund for the entertainment of these men has raised 11,109. B. R. Benson Is chairman of the committee. Next Tuesday Thomas Ingeraoll, execu tive secretary of the National Associa tion of Real Estate Exchanges, Is to spend the day In Omaha en route to the coast. He Is to be entertained by the reel estate men. The exchange has set Tuenday for its regular meeting this week, Instesd of Wednesday, which Is j the regular date. This waa done In order that Mr. Ingersoll might come before the exchange in session and deliver a talk. ' Home Booster Talks, A number of booster talks were given at last week's meeting of the exchange by C. C. George, Harry Wolf, Frank H. Meyers, President Thomas, C. F, Harri son and Oeorge F. Ollmore. Harry Wolf pointed out that In Omaha rents are running far ahead of ground values, as compared with the eastern cities. He asserted that while an Invert ment In ground In New Tort City yields only t per rent on the Investment, In Omaha It yields from 7 to 12 per cent. Ho declared that this discrepancy should no longer .exist; that Omaha should now be considered so well established a metro politan city that capital should be as willing to Invest here as In the east, espe cially In view of the fact that the rate of returns on the Investments Is so much greater. People Jast 'Waiting:. Oeorge F. Ollmore asserted that there is something of a waiting condition of mind on the part of the people of the country on account of the war and vari ous conditions, and that much money Is idle that ought to be Inveetsd in real estate. He pointed to the Increasing val ues In Omaha, and declared that the example of George A. Joslyn's recent in vestments are good ones to follow, . In that they show a confidence In Omaha property, since Mr. Joslyn Invested con siderably more than 0,000,000 In (ess than one month. The Real Estate Exchange took up a matter of taxation referred to In a communication from the Building Own ers' and Managers' association. The communication stated that through a re vision of the methods; of accounting and through other possible changes, a reduc tion of 10 per cent should be made fn the present tax assessment. The exchange Is to appoint a committee to look Into the matter and probably co-operate with the building (toners and managers in a movement to . this end. ... gtp a- osaafea. In preparation ' for the "Btop-Off-ln-Omaha crowds this summer, Payne Slater are having a huge sign painted for the Wellington Inn, on Fornam street.

May 15. Rev. A. .A. Pfan atlehl of Chlcafo, who Is In Holland giv ing; a series of lectures on the United States, sends tbe following account of his visit to the Internment camp at Qronglngen, Holland, where the men of the British naval brigade have been In terned since their retreat from Antwerp over the Dutch border. "The men are fortunate In being placed In Oroningen. It Is an old university town and soldiers can profit by the priv ileges of the university class rooms, which are open to them without charge. "The camp is thoroughly organised. Large barracks, low wooden buildings, have been erected on an open plain. There is a large recreation hall provided with writing tables and equipment, games and a well-stocked reading room. Lec tures are given at frequent Intervals. At one end of the hall a room Is screened off and here Church of England services are held, conducted by Rev. II. H. Cory ton and an assistant stationed In the camp. Services are also held for men of other religious denomlnsttnns. t ha aee to Work. , "Nesrby, In other buildings, there are shops of all kinds, where the men can ' employ themselves usefully at carpentry, wood carving, tailoring, shoemaklng, halr dreulng. tent and net making? or knit ting and weaving. "A small dally newspaper Is edited and printed in the ramp, and there la a library of over 1,000 volumes. Tbe camp has Its own (postoffloe where par cels snd letters are received and dis patched free of postage. The men all wear wooden shoes, to which the Dutch quickly accustom them.. "The camp Is in charge of a Dutch commandant, with whom I had a long conversation. 'They are a .remarkably repreentatlve crowd,' be told me. 'Here you have university graduates and men of wealth and Influence alongside miners, sailors, fishing lads and factory hands. All this is strange and Interesting to us Hollanders, who are strictly democratlo in theory, yet In practice take a much stricter account of class distinctions than do these Englishmen. But I have . been noticing the effect and find that the mingling of the classes is helpful; It cer tainly has a profound Influence on the characters of the men and they learn to undertiand and respect one another. " The relation of tbe two clergymen to the men is also a marvel to us Dutch. They even direct their sports. See, there goes the young preacher now In foot ball togs, to take part in a match. It coujd never be done In Holland. It seemedery strantre to me -at first, but after seeing its practical working. I think It's the ight thing.
