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.

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.
German Efforts to
fraternize With
Russ Rebuffed
Petrograd, Nov. 5. Teutonic at
tempts at fraternization yesterday met
with a mixed reception on the Russian
front. There was fraternizing in the
Dvinsk region, but in the Buzeo area
patrols approaching the lines with
proclamations were fired upon and
driven away, the war office announces.
There were no military operations of
importance, according to the state
ment. Police Stop Meeting1.

jeered at us and called us vile names.
"When you asked a guard for a cup

would knock it out of your hand. W'c

We had no change of clothing and
when we were wet to' the skin we had

"The prisoners got no justice and
the food was wretched," declared
MacDonald, who was wounded and
gassed at St. Jullen and who was 15
months in Gottingen. "I was on the
pick and shovel gang working on the
roads. I refused to work once and
for nine days was placed in solitary

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.
Abe Weinstein. who is married and
lives at the house with his father,
places the loss at approximately
$2,500.
A complete set of silverware was
taken, besides a suitcase filled with his
wife's silk garments and jewelry.
. A neighbor of Weinstein's whose
name, was not learned, told the police
she saw an express wagon drive up
the alley and stop in the rear of the
Weinstein residence while the family
was away and saw a man walk in the
back yard, but observed nothing fur
ther about the affair.
The leaders of the Catholic party
nave made declarations ot their sun-
port to united Italy in the supreme
struggle, and it is said in official quar
ters that the Vatican has been in

tude which might be considered to
run counter to the national aspirations
would be most unwelcome.
