FIELD CLUB 10 LIVE,
ITS MEMBERS SAY
Unanimous Decision Beached
at Meeting Held at Com-
mercial Club.
BALANCE IN TREASURY
The Omaha Field club is alive and
going to be more so. This was
the unanimous decision at an enthu
siastic meeting of about seventy-five
of the members last evening at the
Commercial club.
"This meeting has been called,"
said President Rutherford, "to dispel
an idea that has gained much head
way that the Field club is going to
smash. Some members have fears of
a big assessment. Others are alarmed
because ot the taikeu-oi saie ox me
grounds. The Field club is in better
financial condition. All debts have
been paid and there is $2,500 in the
treasury." (Applause.)
A. B. Shotwell, member of the
board of directors, addressed the
meeting and showed how the club
can make a splendid investment by
buying the Field club grounds if the
people of Douglas county decide to
sell them.
Proposes Lot Sale.
"Suppose the property sold at
$300,000," he said. "We could sell
seventy-six lots on the east end of
the grounds at about $2,000 each.
This would take care of nearly half of
the cost. And in ten years the
grounds would be worth $600,000. Do
you think it would be hard to sell
stockholder memberships in such an
investment?"
He also told how the board of di
rectors has planned to cut down on
the managers' salary. He now re
ceives $2,400 a year. By employing
him only six months of the season it
is proposed to cut this to $1,200. He
stated $900 could also be saved on
the golf expense.
"The raw food for the dining room
cost $12,000 last year," he said. "It
sold for about $16,000. This allowed
for no overhead expense. We actually
lost money on the dining room. We
propose to cut out such dishes as
lobster, which, if it isn't used today,
is spoiled by tomorrow."
Smith for Good Eats.
Ed P. Smith declared that the man
agement must not attempt to save
monev on the dining room
Others spoke, generally voicing the
opinion that a big membership can be
secured when the bugaboos are dis
pelled, pointing out that it has the
best golf course and that, with the
removal of the Happy Hollow club it
will be the nearest club to the city's
center.
Tf ma, AertAeA f-rt remain "rjAMtral"
regarding the bill now in the leaiS'
lature and each present member wan
made a committee ot one to get some
other good member to diffuse optim
ism regarding the club.

Witnesses Tell How Men
Act in Battle Under Fire
The present war will furnish new
facts concerning the psychology of
the battlefield. It should be remem
berer that, as the Encyclopedia Bri
tannica says, in a very graphic way,
"the duration of a campaign is largely
affected by the deadly properties of
modern firearms. It is true that the
losses in battle are relatively less than
in the rlav of Brown Bess and the
smooth-bore cannon and almost insig
nificant when compared with tne tear
ful carnage wrought by the sword and
spear. The reason is simple.
"A battlefield in the old days, ex
cept at close quarters, was a compar
atively safe locality and the greater
nnrt nf the trooos engaged were sel
dom exposed for a long time together
to a hot and continuous nre. xoaay
death has a far wider range and the
strain on the nerves is conseaucntly
far more severe. Demoralization,
therefore, sets in at an earlier period
and is more complete.
"When troops once realize their in
ferinritv thev can no longer be de
pended on. It is not the losses they
have actually suffered, but those that
they expect to suffer, that affect them.
Unless discipline and national spirit
are of superior quality, unless the sol
dier is animated by something higher
than the mere habit of mechanical
obedience, panic, shirking and whole
sale surrender will be the ordinary
features nf a camoaien.
"These phenomena made them
selves apparent, thougn in a less ae
orrpp. as lnnar aeo as the American
civil war, when the weapon of the
infantry was a muzzle-loading rifle,
firing at most two rounds a minute,
and when the projectiles of the artil-
ierv were hardlv more destructive
than the stone shot of Mons Meg.
With the magazine rifle, machine
cuns. shrapnel and high explosives
they have become more pronounced
than even at Vionville or i-ievna.
