"Germany has 107,000,000 people in stead of the 67,000,000 we have been taught," said Carl Baer of New York, representing the Town Development company, who is in Omaha. Mr. Baer is here conferring with the Atli- letic club with-rcgard to putting on a big membership campaign for the cjub. He is a persistent booster for river navigation, and has had several conferences with river navigation cn thusisasts of Omaha. ' "When the war is over," he sail, "the world will be surprised, to learn the actual population of Germany. A big man in New York told me a few days ago that he had seen a report made to the American government on the actual population of Germany, which showed .that it has 40,000,00u more people than its census figures have ever given out. This man told me that it is now believed in some circles here that the kaiser has for twenty-five years been deceiving the world and his own people deliberately in regard to the actual population of the empire. This was undoutedly done for military reasons, and 119 doubt explains something of the mystery over which people have bee t puzzling as to how 67,000,000 people could. hold out so long in a great war against the surrounding Svorld." Must Develop Waterways. Mr. Baer in lis discussion' of navi-' Ration insisted that the inland water ways must be developed in order that' export trade may go on as we have planned it shall go on. "What good,"; he said, "is our shipping equipment for export trade, if we haven t . the facilities to get the stuff from the in land to the seacoast. , The rivers arc vout1 natural roadbeds, and you have them. ' With a shortage of 150,000 cars as we are reported to have at this time, how can we get goods to the coast fast enough to do the shipping we want to do? Dont laugh at the river navigation enthusiasts JnOmalu. Your Missouri river .here is your biggest asset. Use it and develop it. The canal system in Belgium is wha' the Germans wanted and what they had to have. Without it and its ad vantage, the war wdfcld have been over before the first year closed. Ger many had to have that canal system, and so the invasion of Belgium cair.c."

Twenty-fourth and Hamilton streets this morning, crashed into a bay window and Jim M.

" ' King Ak Begins to Make Up His Reception Committee The lists of the ladies-in-waiting and reception committee for the Ak-Sar-Ben coronation ceremonies and the annual ball ate now being made up. It is pointed out by Samson that no one who does not get his member ship in soon will be included in these lists, nor will ladies of the family be appointed on the list of ladies-in-waiting; Only members and ladies of the families of members will be appointed on these committees. For this reason it is important that mem berships be taken out at once.
