THK OMAHA SUNDAY P.EE : JULY 18, 1915. CLARK TALKSAT EXPOSITION Speaker Makei Principal Address at Liberty Bell Exercises at San Francisco. ADVOCATES MILITARY TRAILING SAW FRANCISCO, July 17.-Chsmp Claris. speskar of ths Hous of Rrprrsrn taUvee, wu Inspired by tha recrtlon of tha Liberty bell her today to rUiwuss tha naad of rraW inllllary prr parrtWas to prwrra to dUcnna of the 1'nlted Ptatra that liberty of which tha bell la an tilstorlo symbol Za tha courss of his remarks, he said: "I differ toto coalo with the preponenta f "peace at any price.' That li n smni- tag, a demoralising, a nVrrartlnir doctrine. Oa tha other hand I am utterly op posed to those who advocate a large standing army, and to those who advo cate a navy equal to the two blxirext navies In tha world. I am not a Jingo. Ood forbid) I hope moat profoundly there will never be another war particularly another to which we are a party, but knowing that human nature ha not ehaiured a Jot or tittle since Adam and I Eve were driven with flaming swords ; from Faradlae, I am In favor of putting j tha country In such posture that If war j should for any reason become necensary I we may amerce from It conqueror, as ' wa hare been In all our wars. Daabl Nasaber af Cadets, j "Towards the consummation of thla plan, I am In favor or doubling- the num- ber of cadets at West Point and of ma. ; tng It obligatory upon the secretary of jwar to detail an army officer to any school, college or university, which will j furnish a minimum of 0 students to drill. la that way and at the hast pos j tibia cost we could In a few years have enough drilled men to officer a volunteer I army of a million soldiers, If needs be. "la fact there would be wisdom In a schema by which In addition to tha cadets duosted free by tha government at West point and Annapolis, any boy possessing tha prescribed qualkftcatlona might on reasonable terms be educated at those two great Institutions. Tha surplus West Pointers oould be used to advantage In drilling tha youths of tha land, while tha surplus naval graduates would make j splendid efftoers for tha great merchant I marina which President Wllsoa and some j of tha rest of us are determined to place upon tha high seas from which our flag has almost entirely disappeared. Iarr Rational Ueard. 1 "We should also have a well drilled and wall equipped National Guard to La used for strictly national purposes on ! tha prlnclplea enunolated by Thomaa Jef- faraon, 'A well disciplined milltlar-our ! beat reliance In peace and for tha first ! momenta of war, till regulars may relieve them. ' "It seams that If little FwltscrUnd can mobilise In a few days sn army of buO.GOO I well drilled men by means of Its system of military education and discipline the 'cheapest system known among men and sufficiently effective-we could by such application of Its system as flu our case, ,ln a year or two, be able to mobilise an army of 1, 000,000 well disciplined men at a I cost which to us would be a mere baga telle which would be a most effective In isurance for this country and all Its clU sens and their In tar eats" iNew Buildings in All Parts of the I' Business District One of the things that la Impressing .tourists who stop off In Omaha this 'summer Is tha amount of building now jsTutng on In ths down town business seo 'tlon. Tha steel frsme work for the iOrain Exchange building Is about com pleted. ' Tha old First Presbyterian church building at Beventoenth and Iode streets has been torn down and excavation work has been stsrted for the new garage and storage house that la to be erected there by tha Brandels Interests. ' Tha Myers Dillon corner at Sixteenth and Farnam streets Is being excavated, ixiow that tha old building waa torn dowa .almost overnight, figuratively speaking. And preparation Is being made for the erection of tha six-story Rose Realty building. Tha wrecking work has beea completed where tha eld Board of Trade building stood, and plans are about completed for 'the fourteen-story First National bank .building. At Fifteenth and Farnam atreeta the excavation work la almost complete for ''the new World-Herald building. In fact, everywhere tourists hear tha Itivet hammers, tha hissing of ths steam hovels, and the clang of the masons' trowels. .Omaha Property is -i Highly Regarded That Omaha real estate la highly re garded as an Invsstmont In other quar itera. was ahowa by Byron Heatings on bis return from Los Angeles, where he 'attended tha convention of the National xocUtion of Real Estate Exohaiigts. ' sir. Hastings, talking to the Omaha Steal Estate exchange lest Wednesday, aid he had found a number of plecea ef Omaha property listed with San Krnn jeleco and Los Angeles real estate firms, .for aala or trade, and aatd that a great weal of tatereet waa ahowa by coaat tn ,vetora In these listings. That ths Omaha real estate men made a good Impression on the delegates to tha Loa Angelea convention who stopped ff at Omaha for a day. waa cluarly ahowa by Mr. Haatlntra. when he aaid that everywhere he heard these delegates 'telling others who did not corns through jOiaaha. "Vou ought to sea how Omaha ntedlalned us." I "Buainess In Los Angeles and In Call, famia la general Is better than many jpeopla here think," said Mr. HasUnga ."The stores and jobbers are oolng a Cairly good business and tha real estate are making soms transactiona." Mr. Hastings spoke of the possibility pt getting the int national convention fur (Omaha, but said not Man definite was (yet decided. He pointed out that It would take f-VOott in ub rlptlona to han dle this national contention here. Is Good Demand for Homes at This Time "The demand for moderate alted homes Js picking up," asserts A. I. Crth. "Ho does one account for it? ' "Well. I telleve the principal thing Is that tha time of year hss corns when S'relty nearly everyone Is at work, and '-s a steady Job. There are men who a few month ago thought of buying a eaiU boi.'ve, had 4 or M saved up fur 323 Roost V lffjr- dV,f -AJ -4 tf'71rTOrt-J3lOtK Tha house lluetrated here Is one that Is complete In Its entirety and original In design. It hss Individuality and tha architect has not assembled tha differ ent parts from many set up forma which have been balo-ed by long ages of usage, but ha has usedi a harmonious disposition of tha elements to make his problem unique. The plan consists of living room, dinlrMT room, sun room and kitchen on tha first floor, with built-in pantry and entry; and four larxe bed rooms, a sleep ing porch and bsth room, all supplied with ample cloeet space, on tha second floor. The third floor Is one large fin ished attic In the basement Is a large billiard room, heater room and working shop. Tha living room, dining room and sun room are finished In oak, with beamod ceilings and are as unique In design aa la tha exterior. Tha bed rooms on the aecondi floor, and also the bath room and alecplng porch are finished In whit enamel, with mahogony doors. Tha plan Is entirely harmonious and shows not only an economical handling of space, but Is well sdapted to the av erage family where the rooms shown and described are sufficient to rr t their re quirements. Any one desiring further In- a first payment, and then were afraid to pay It all out because they were not absolutely sura of their Jobs. The time has oome when there Is a mora sub stantial feeling. I have noticed quits a change for the better In tha demand for homes." Eesolutions on thb Death of Members With the paaslng of Thomas II. Mc. Cagua last week, and Alfred C. Kennedy scarcely a weok before, two of tha pioneers In Omaha real estate buainess have gone. A special committee consisting of O. a. Wallace and H. A.

Ths bulk figures were t6i.7t0.ya, aa agalmt t71.14.141 for June. 114. Thla Is a loss of 23 per cent for June, 1915, but tha column of gain ahowa some In creasing tendencies. Uleven cities reg istered gains exceeding U per cent, eight of these are over SO per cent, and tnree are over luO per cent, tha smallest gain being I per cent, tho beavlest SIT per cent. It Is noticeable upon the faoe of tha monthly figures that losses are widely distributed. In soma cases aa low as 1 per cent and In eleven Instances only running beyond W per cent.
