THE OMAHA SUNDA?VBEE:' SEPTEMBER 9,1917. BRITISH ARMY HAS MANY HEW BRANCHES Opening of World War Compels England to Provide for Pre viously Unheard of Con tingencies. (Correspondence of Tht Associated Press.) London, Aug. 25. The British army has undergone changes of a far-reaching character since the outbreak of war in 1914, and it now possesses many branches unheard of in pre-war days. Every resource afforded by the manifold capacity of this great in dustrial community has been har nessed to the war chariot, says a British statement from official sources There are certain respects in which the problem by which the British army is faced is unique; and one of .the most 6triking of these is' that it must be capable of campaigning in any part of the world and in any climate. In the case of a'rmies like that of Germany, on the other hand, the problem of preparation for war was relatively simnle. Th erminrl on which the army -was destined, to ngiu was known; it was an army designed to do tattle in a particular theater Europe. In consequence everytning could be, and was, planned aiong certain well-defined lines. Field Works Important. In the present war the importance ' of field works was apparent at a very early stage, partly owing to modern artillery and partly to the confirmed vim mining ,uaim ui me vjcrmans. One of the cardinal inctrnrtinn rivn bv the German pntnmanHera fn fVi.Jr troops on first invading France and ceigium wasMake trenches every, where." In fact all the continental DOwerS had in addition tn thrir mm. of engineers, very, lar'gj numbers of u aiucu pioneers, organized in . bat talions, and suitable for use either as fiffhtin? trnnnff nr in tti riini(riii and maintenance of field works andT communications. The absolute im portance of the last named can per haps only be realized by one who ' has seen the roads during an advance. But, while the continent was to this extent prepared for trench warfare, as was natural in the circumstances, it was otherwise with Great Britain. In the British service only the Indian army possessed pioneer regiments, these troops being always necessary in conducting campaigns in the hill country. When the" need for this class of troops became evident, steps were taken to form pioneer, battalions for the expeditionary force. From the first they proved their value.' Ready to Fight or Work. 4 Pioneers are prepared to fight or work as may be required. They per form euch services as the construction and repair of communication trenches, ire-trenches and dug-outs, the digging )f trenches and wiring. Their duties ire manifold, and there is no form of usefulness at the front which the ! pioneer does not at one time or an other find himself called upon to undertake. His activities range from carrying up ammunition to retrieving the wounded or holding a fiercely dis puted trench or sap. In the great advance on-the, Som me and' in Artois the pioneers per formed work of the greatest im portance. The duty of consolidating the captured ground and connecting it up with, the old front line of the ittackers, largely fell to them... In many places they took part in the advance as infantry, in others they kept the advancing lines supplied with ammunition and water, and beat off counter attacks. Their losses have been heavy, but they have accom plished their tasks in the face of every obstacle. As rule, the pioneers remain In the vicinity of the trenches all the time their division is in the line, and do. not go bad! for rest, except at long intervals. The pioneer is as yet a new type In the British army, but he has long since passed the trial stage, and has proved his worth and steadfastness. His metal has been tried in the cruci ble of war and very thoroughly it has stood the test.

Ik Realtors Want Change In Loan Valuations There are realtors who believe that the time has come for a change in the method of valuations in making mortgage loans. A realtor in discuss ing with a large loan company a loan upon a prominent corner in the inside business district of Omaha found the company disposed to go on the old methods and turned down a perfectly good loan because the rules of the insurance company represented were those of twenty-five or fifty years ago. It is a well-known fact that in, the east, in the home cities of the great insurance companies that furnish much of the capital that goes into the larger mortgages in Omaha and else where in the west, these rules of "40 per cent and 50 per cent of the actual value" do not prevail. ; From Chicago east in the larger cities loans can be secured to within a small margin of the real value of the property. Omaha realtors feel that this citv and the country surrounding it have passed long ago the unsettled stages of pioneer days and pioneer valua tions.' For instance, a representative of one of these large insurance com panies was offered two years ago a loan on 40 acres within sight of the city of Omaha and valued conserva tively at $500 : per ..acre. The loan asked was $150 per acre, and the ap plicant was informed that it was not the policy of this company to take a loan on farm property of over $50 an acre in Nebraska. It is unnecessary to say that the forty acre tract has been sold since for considerably more than $500 an acre and could not be . bought for $1,000 an acre now. . , . ' Demand for Soldiers Now T . Felt by Real Estate Men Secretary G. G. Wallace of the Omaha Real Estate board, said in connection with . the war strain on men: -4 .' . ,- ' ;: "An interesting, indication of. the effect of the war on business is the recent'.-announcement by the - 'Real Estate-World,' a real estate paper with a very large circulation, that be cause of the call of the editor to the service of the government, and . the inability , to secure a competent per son to succeed him in the short time allowed; the magazine will have to be discontinued for the present Will the continued call for men for, gov ernment service close up some real estate offices? Will it be necessary to consolidate? Perhaps it would be better for business if this condition should prevail." : . " ,v; : Evaporated Apples and Dried Frolti.

"LOST PROVINCES" ARE STILL FRENCH German Newspaper Admits That After Forty-Five Years Alsatians and Lorralners Anti-Teutonc. (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) 1 The Hague, Netherlands, Aug. 15. Interesting admissions regarding Alsace-Lorrainere made by the Ger man professor Laband in an article in the Deutsche Revue. "The higher influential and educated native population," says this professor of political law, "is just as foreign as ever after having lived for forty-five years with the, German population. With only one or two insignificant exceptions, there is no intimate inter course, except insofar as this is ren dered necessary by urgent business or professional interests. "Marriages between .members of old Alsatian and Lorraine families and Germans are great exceptions. Save for a few musical and art institutions, the two elements keep entirely apart in respect of their societies and asso ciated life generally. No mutual fam ily or commercial relations are estab lished. . While intercourse is outward ly courteous enough, it is marked on the part of Alsace-Lorrainers by ill concealed dislike. French "papers, French novels and periodicals are read in Alsace-Lorraine homes, and German literature is avoided." . . In his conclusion, Prof. Laband writes: . ,. , "Alsace-Lorraine must .remain 'reichsland (imperial province), with its constitution of May 31, 1911. But sharper action than before must be taken against press extravagances and the abuse of the right of association and of meeting. German must re main the official language, but vexa tious interference in private life must be avoided. . "Girls' schools, particularly the pri vate schools, .and the sending of girls to foreign boarding schools, must be subjected to sharper supervision. It is with the girls that a beginning is made in the frenchifying and in the nursing of a glowing hatred against everything German. : ' "The favoring of the notables must cease, but officials, especially the mid dle and lower officials, with whom the people come into direct touch, must not hurt people's feelings by arrogant and bureaucratic behavior." . .

Specnlatlon favored the long side of the account during tha greater part of today's brief stock market I session, with an urgent Inquiry tor shares , which have recently been targets for bear , raids. Gains ran from lJto 3 points In ; recognized favorites like the steels, oils, ', tobaccos and general motors. Pool operations were resumed, with soms . 1 confidence and the shorts were sufficiently Impressed with the character of the buy ing to cover freely in various quarters. A successful bear raid later against Bethle hem Steel, together with liquidation of ln vestment issues such as General Electric Pullman and American Telephone caused tha , market to relapse below the previous close in many cases. General Electrlo scored an exceptional decline of nearly 8 points, while Pullman gave way trim. Large amounts ot Bethlehem were 1 loadedt forcing the price down 4 to 10O, with selling apparently Inspired by reports that the company had taken $50,000,000 In rubles In payment for its contract with the Russian 'government This was ,denled and it was stated that payment had been made In British securities and guaranteed by the British government. The stock, nev ertheless, closed at a 3-polnt loss. Support from the orders and a drive against the short Interest caused a vigorous ' rally in the final dealings.
