War Membership .Cards for Church J Members at Front Melodist boys from Nebraska who are in the training camps and at other army posts, will be furnished with their membership, cards from their home church, so that they may be come associate members of the local Methodist church at any camp where they happen to be located. This ' was announced yesterday morning at the First Methodist church by Rev. I. B. Schreckengast, chancellor of Nebraska Wesleyan uni versity, who preached the sermon. Rev. Mr. Schreckengast said this idea and suggestion came from Bishop "Homer C Stuntz,' and that he was merely taking the occasion to an nounce it in the pulpit. He explained that the membership card from the home church will con stitute credentials to admit any of the boys to associate membership in the local church at any of the camps or in any of the cities adjacent to the camps. Also he explained that when the boy leaves a given camp or city the pastor of the church of which he has for the time being been an as sociate member, will endorse the card which, will in turn make it good for the next church, and will show the boy's church record when he comes back home at the close of the war. These cards will be known as war membership cards. Rev. Mr. Schreck engast spoke of the great importance to the young men in the army of keeping up their church work and other spiritual activities. Though the First Methodist church in Omaha will probably be, the first to use this war membership card system among its soldiers, the idea is to be carried on and the practice is to become general throughout the Methodist churches ot Nebraska. . - .

Real Estate Board Takes Credit for Street Signs " The Omaha Real Estate board is taking to itself credit for the recent marking of the street corners. A committee from the board, C. F.llar rison and E. M. Slater, has been for a year urging such "an improvement. Finding that the council was holding . back because of the expense of se curing high-priced signs to be set on ' standards at the street corners, the " committee urged that stencil signs on the telephone or electric light poles were good enough for the present. It 'was found that this might be done for about $500, instead of an expendi ' ture of $7,000 to $10,000 for the signs on standards.

ASK FOR and GET Morlick's The Original Malted Milk SvtetitutM Cost YOU Sana Prica, GERMANS LAY SNARES BEHIND TOENTRAPFRENCH Concealed Mines Discovered and Other Devices With Which to Do Injury to Enemy as They Retreat. (By Associated Press.) Ou the French Front, Nov. 5. The French advance in pursuit of the Ger- n.ans beyond the Chemin Dcs Dames has progressed within an average of a mile and a half of the southern bank of the Ailette. Altogether si- . yesterday about lo square miles of territory have fallen into French hands. Many points in the line were bom barded by t'uc German big guns dur ing the French advance, especially in the neighborhood of Ai"es, where numerous nuistard-gas shells some what delayed the progress of the trench tr ops. The F: nch are dispia-ing . greatest p'udence in their movements in cons juence of the frequency of the caverns on all sides of the hills. As a result of this caution the troops while going forward discovered a number of traps for the unwary. In Cerny a steel helmet hung on a pole was found on examination to have an electric wire connection running into a mine , which would explode in the event of the h:lmet being snatched away. ' Discovered by Patrol. At the present moment the French occupy every cresf and possess all the observatories above Craonne, Ailles, Cerny and Courteoon, while so far as can be made out the Germans have established their lines on the other side of the Ailette valley. They destroyed every bridge over the Ailette as they retired. The German evacuation was dis covered on Friday when a patrol of chausseurs found one of the German front t. .inches empty and immediat .'y gave the alarm. Other patrols ad vanced and found all the trenches empty and a search of dozens of shelters and tunnels confirmed the de parture of the Germans. It was evident that the German troops which occupied the front lines until the last moment received little warning of the prder to retire, as half cooked meals, 'Still hot, were found in the sauce pans. - French Reorganize Position. It isa remarkable coincidence that the same French troops which are facing the Germans on this occasion had occupied Lassigny when the Ger mans executed their retreat in March of this year. , The entire position, which is a perfect honeycomb of she'.ier , a as reorganized by the French' during the course of the day and last night. It is uncertain whether the Ger mans intend to retreat further, al though many movements of the troops toward the north have been observed.

House Ransacked While Family Is Attending Funeral The home of A. G. Weinstein, 2421 Charles street, was entered yesterday afternoon while the family was at tending a funeral and ransacked of valuable jewelry, silverware and clothes. A diamond stud, valued as a keepsake, was taken. The bur glars entered the bouse by breaking a panel of the rear door. The condi tion ot the rooms when the family returned indicated that the thieves were familiar with the house and picked out the most valuable silver ware and women's clothes.
