C. C! George Says Omaha at
: Present Time Needs More
. Than 3,000 Additional
Residences.
"Omaha's greatest need at this
tim is more buildings, both busi
ness houses and residences," said
Charles C. George, real estate , man
and chairman of the advisory com
s mittee of the Chamber oft Com
merce. ' ' The reply of Mr. George was in
answer to a question as to what
Xisjnost needed in Omaha in order
that the city may continue its rapid
strides in becoming the great indus
trial and commercial center of the
central west. Continuing, Mr.
George added: '
- "Right now Omahi needs 3,000
additional residences, costing around
$J,00Q. each, or a total of $15,000;
two office buildings, the two costing
not less than $3,000,000; increased
jobbing facilities, $1,000,000; in-
-creased, retail facilities, $1,000,000;
increased factory facilities, $1,000,-
:000;. apartment house's, $1,000,000;
. -new hotels, $1,250,000; two storage
.warehouses, $5001000; centrally lo
cated large buildings iox- small fac
tories, $500,000; motor truck loading
and unloading.. stations, $150,000;
needed extensions, , repairs, changes
and alterations to1 old buildings,
$600,000, making a total of $25,000,
' 000. t , . .
7 "How to bring about these need
ed projects to increase the business
of Omaha is a question. However,
to my mind, if the business men
t Would unite and with their money
and energy get behind a develop
ment company," putting the same
vigor into it that 4hey"'put into their
war work, the desired object would
be attained. Once attained, it would
mean more to Omaha than any
project that has been attempted in
years. ' ,
"A development'company such as
suggested would tide over the peri--bdof'high
orices of building ma
terial when individual owners in
many cases might feel, that they
could not afford to boild. It would
promote, rather than interfere with,
individual building operations.
I "Omaha certainly needs a factory
development syndicate. Now, if a
new factory seeks a location" here
the owner has to deal with many
individual owners of property, each
anxious to oDtain the highest pos
sible price for his holdings. Thus
the trouble and expense oi getting
located , has a tendency to scare
away many good prospects.
"If the prospective business man
cAuld deal with a corporation own
, ing numerous available sites, held at
reasonable prices, and could make
arrangement with that corporation
; to have a building erected, to be
. paid for over a term of years, to
my mind, Omaha would start in on
a Wonderful industrial growth." -

Elained a colored woman to the Free

cause it was considered stopping his

"There are two main public
health activities that count most in
preventing unnecessary loss of in
fant and maternal life," says the
annual report of the New York
milk committee, "First, clean, pure
milk; and second, expert medical
and nursing service for expectant
mothers. The public conscience is
fast awakening to the value of in
fant life."
Omaha has comjs to a reputable
position in the care of infant life,
largely through The Bee's fund for
free milk and ice, which gathers
money each summif from generous
readers and pays TTT&ut through the
visiting nurses for milk and ice for
the babies'and small children of the
deserving poor.
There is no other means, public
or brivate in Omaha whereby these
little ones can be cared for in the
critical hot weather. Last year in
the months of June, July and
August, 109 Omaha babies died out
of 1,000 born.
Death Rate Low Here.
This figure seems very high, but
it is low when compared with the
baby death rate of some other cities.
In Baltimore, Md., the death rate
of babies under 1 year old for the
whole year round was 148 per 1,000
last year; in Philadelphia it was
126 per 1,000; in Memphis, Ten.,
it was 145 per l,000and in' Fall
River, Mass., it . reached 161 per
1,000. These are the year-round
figures and they are much higher
than Omaha's infant death rate for
the three hot months.
Omaha's low rate is largely due
to The Bee's fund, wiich last year
supplied quarts oi me oesi
milk to these little ones. It is at
work this year, through the visit
ing nurses, keeping the life-giving
lactal fluid flowing to the hungry
little mouths and nourishing the lit
tle bodies.
"Within a very few blocks of the
city hall, little babies would be
starving if it were not for the milk
brought to them by this charity,"
said Miss Florence McCabe, super
intendent of the Visiting Nurse as
sociation., "All over the city we are
helping the helpless little ones
whose hold on life is often so pre
carious during the reated season.
All they need jn most cases is pure,
rich milk. A few dollars will bring
a baby through to September 1, and
from then on his , chances of life
and health are fine."
Baby Crop Large.
America's baby crop this year
promises to be the largest in the
history of the country, according to
the New York Milk committee's
survey. '

LOSE EXPORT
TRADE TO U.S.
English Doubt Ability to Re
gain Export Business After
Giant Strides Made by
Americans.
By ROBERT WELLES RITCHIE.
I'nlversal Service Staff Correspondent.
London, July 19. To give a few
details of the giant strides Amer
ican trade has made at the expense
of British, I cite from the Times
supplement the following para
graphs: "The large part played by Amer
ica in the food supply of Europe
is too well known to need elabor
ate comment here. It will perhaps.
(sbe sufficient to note that last year
the exports in this category amount
ed to nearly $2,000,000,000. Raw
cotton accounted for nearly two
thirds of the" "exports of raw mate
rials, while the exports of coal
were valued at $108,000,000. The
quantity exported, however, some
24,000,000 tons, was only a little
greater than in 1913, and when the
population was 104 per 1,000 baBiesJ.there j, little evidence that America
Dorn, wnue in u was oniy y
per 1,000 babies born.
The baby born into the home of
poverty today or who is still quite
young often has no other chance to
survive except that which may come
to him through the Visiting Nurses
and the baby fund. He may join
the 11 per cent whose little, lives
are snuffed out by heat and poor
nourishment almost before they
have begun.
But the patient work of the
nurses, the generosity of. the contri
butors to the fund, the educational
work of the baby stations which
teach siothers how to care fop their
infants, these features make tKe out
look brighter for Baby Poorman.
Last year, out of 451 youngsters be
tween one and two years old, cared
for at the three Omaha baby sta
tions, only one died.

The Omaha .Automobile club en
dorsed the wheel tax ordinance at
the time of passage because it was
understood that the funds derived
from this tax was to go 60 per cent
for street repairs, and 40 per cent
for boulevard repairs. So far, there
has been collected over $31,000 from
thii tax and the money diverted to
other funds. Motoists of Omaha
had, up to the end of last year, done
much toward capturing British mar
kets for ' this commodity. The
events of the last few months, how
ever, have undoubtedly made the
position of the British coal export
er difficult, and American exporters
are reported to be taking full ad
vantage of the position.
South American Trade' Lost.
"Certain very enticing offers have
been made for supplying-' American
steam coal to Scandinavia, France,
Italy and Spain at prices at which
our merchants with their additional
burdens will find it difficult to' com
pete, while' in the case of South
America it is feared that the markets
may be lost to us entirely.
"The export trade in cotton manu
factures, w.hich prior to the war
amounted to $55,000,000 last year,
were valued at $181,000,000 last year,
piece-goods accounting for no less
than $108,000,000 of the total. Can
ada, Central and South America, and
the Phil ippine islands are the prin
cipal markets.
"As regards manufacture of wool,
the eoorts have increased from $4,
600,01'J in 1913 to $20,00.0,000 in 1918,
the chief feature being the appear
ance of woofcn clohs and the dress
goods, classes of good.s which Amer
icadid not export prior to the war,
but of which 5,572,000 yards, valued
at $8,600,000, were exported last
year. r
America Has Motor Trade.
"In spite of the fact that last year
there was a considerable decline in
the exports of motor cars from the
United States, it is yet true to say
that America has practically cap
tured the export trade of the world
in these vehices, there being no mar
ket in which she does not hold ah
overwhelming share of the trade.
The development of the trade since
the war is shown 'in diagram C, and
when it is added that in 1917 no
fewer than 1,800,000 cars 'were con
structed in that country, and that
the total value of the output was
about 218,000,000 ($1,090,000,000),
it will readily be seen what a strong
position the American manufactur
ers hold, and what a small propor
tion of their total trade is repre
sented by exports."
Now turn to the matter of the
carrying trade. All of us in the
states know how Americao shippers
were bound hand and oot to the
British merchant marine befoce the
war through the woeful lack of ships
of , their own.. Then came the war
and the submarine, and the shipping
bcWd making herculean efforts to
cut down the sea pirates' till by
new ships. Here is the result:

Kansas City, Mo., July 19. This

company. Mr. Patterson, who is
just 31 years olid, has been with
the company for more than U years.
In that time he has risen from
office boy to his present position.
Quits Law; She's Happy.
London, July 19. At a meeting
of the International Council of Wo
men Miss E. C. Van Dorp, a Nether
lands representative, herself solici
tor and barrister, said shejaad been
happier since giving up practice.
Further, although many people went
to, a woman solicitor for advice, her
experience showed that they all
liked a man barrister to fight their
case. v .
who believed as the club believed
that the wheel tax wmrld give us
better streets, do not like to think
that this money is being used for
other purposes than that which it
was raised for repairs. This club
is right with Commissioner Towl in
his stand that the wheel tax money
should be used where it was under
stood it would be used, and for no
I other purpose.

LAWSON AIR LINES
' UNITED STATES
First Plane to Carry 26 Passengers Across Country, to Have Bee" Representative
Aboard-srPlanes Leave New York in Evening and arrive-in Omaha the Next
. Morning Here Passengers Will Change Planes for Pacific Coast Journey.
Omaha will be one of the main
stations of a coast-to-coast passen
ger airplane system which .will be in
operation between New York and
San Francisco in a short time. ,
The first monster airplane, weigh
ing seven tons, and designed to
carry 26 passengers, is being assem
bled by Alfred W. Lawson, Green
Bay, Wis., aviator and inventor. A
representative of The Bee will be
on board the plane on its first trans
continental trip, and will give Bee
readers a detailed story of the trip
a trip which is expected to revolu
tionize commercial and trade routes
of the entire country.
If the first plane accomplishes
what it is expected to, Mr. Lawson
declares that 100 more planes of the
same type will be built and oper
ated Under the name of the Lawson
Airline.
"With 'such a plane the trip be
tween New York and San Fran
cisco can be made in 36 hours," said
Mr. Lawson. "Half of the 100 pro
posed planes can be operated as
sleepers, so that the passenger can
make the trip across the continent
with the loss of but one day's time.
Change Planes at Omaha.
"Taking the sleeper at New York
in the evening, he can change to a
day plane at Omaha the next morn
ing a no then change back to a
sleeper the next evening at Salt
Lake City, awakening the next
morning in San Francisco.
"We plan two air trains each way
daily, with stops at Chicago
Omaha and Salt Lake City. .
The schedule as given out by Mr.
Lawson will require large hangars,
employing scores. of men, and an
extensive landing field in Omaha.
The establishment of such a station
here would be a valuable asset to
the commercial expansion of
Omaha.,
The first big plane will be com
pletely assembled and ready N for a
trial flight August 1.
The interior of the passenger car
resembles a miniature -railroad par
lor car. The seats are of comfort
able individual chairs with cush
ions and leather-padded backs. At
the front are twp steering" wheels,
similar to those of an automubile.
Either wheel will control the car,
which will be in charge of two
aviators,, a captain and a first lien
tenant. Launch 50 Feet Long..
The body of the coach.' including
the tail, which provides room for
baggage, is 50 feet long, a little
over six , feet( wide, and high
enough- to permit a person seven
feet tall standng room.
There is an aisle which the inven
tor declareslwill enable the passen
gers to walk v about without dis
turbing the balance of the ship as it
sails through the ir at the rate of
from 90 to 95 miles an hour. "The
coach is enclosed tightly with glass
windows at each. seat. A ventilat
ing window is provided near he
front.
The wings of the huge machine
are each 50 feet wide, giving the
plane a spread .of 100 feet "It is
mounted, on heavy pneumatic-tired
wheels, and will require a stretch
of nearly three-quarters of a mile
for starting and landing.
. Speld Only Uncertainty!
Mr. Lawson said he intended to
take the plane on its first trip'
"There is not the least doubt in the
world that it will fly," he said.
"We have built it along established
lines, and there are no new experi
ments. Everything has been
assembled on a scientific basis. I
know that the machine will fly. that
it will carry 26 passengers, and that
it will carry enough fuel f6r miles of
continuous flight. The only thing
that 1 am uncertain aboat is whether
it will make 25 miles an hour.
( 'We are not going to experiment
with any new engines, but will use
two Liberty motors, each of 400
horae power. , The propellers will
be larger than those of an ordinary
plane and. will be placed, onepn
either side of the coach. The plane
will carry a wireless outfit so that it
can communicate with the cities as
it passes over, and' passengers can
keep in touch with the latest news."
Mr. Lawson is a flyer of wide ex-i
perience. He has flown every make
eluding monoplanes. He designed
and built three types of army planes
of machine including Monoplanes.
He designated and built three types
of army planes of machine in the
United States, including Jthe war,
the M. T. I. for primary training,
the M. T. 2for advanced training,
and the M.T. 3, for reconaissance
work, nd n all seel machine known
2s the "Lawson Battler." The latter
machine was not completed when
the war ended. '

Ritchie Tells Interesting Story
in Connection With Shoot
ing of Rosa Luxemburg
and Liebknecht.
By JROBERT WELLES RITCHIE
L'nWflraI Serric SUff CoiTMpondcnt,
London, July 19. How did Lieb
knecht and Rosa Luxemburg, : th
two original firebrands of the Ger
man Spartacist party, die and who
was responsible for their unofficial
executions In Berlin early in the
year? -
Inasmuch as there were circum
stances of striking similarity be
tween the murders of Liebknecht
and Luxemburg and the Unofficial ,
slaying of Francisco Madero ant
Pino SuaVez pf Mexico under tne ;
presidency of General Huerta '
bloody memory, the true story. or
the two German radicals' taking off
will have interest for American
readers.
Defend Their views.
.On the evening of the murders,"
soon after sunset, Liobnechti ati&'V
Rosa Luxemburg were taken to the
Eden Hotel, where they spent some
hours in charge of their guardians.
There was" apparently mixed com
pany and a good deal of conversa- "
tion, some of it animated, in which
the two victims discussed and de
fended 'their views. , Orders were
received that they were, to be trans-
f erred to the Moabit prison, and ,
Liebnecftt was taken' to the back
door of the hotel, where a military .
car Was awaiting. '!i
As they were leaving, one of the
company cried: bee tnat tnese .
swine do not reach the prison alive."
This person, however, was a civilian,
and therefore not amenable to the
military court, and his case was not
further inquired into. The evidence
was accepted, ' apparently, because ;
it lessened the blame to be attached
to Private Runge.
Uses Rifle as Club.
This impressionable member of
the guard, as soon as Liebknecht
got into the car, aimed two blows
at him with the butt of his rifle..
One blow missed, the other cut his ?
head open. ) ,
Captain-Lieutenant , vohy Pflugk
Hartung, the officer in charge, then
got into the car. The reporters
testify that this officer made a very
favorable impression on the court.
He was well groomed, alert, had a
clear and sparkling eye, and gave
his evidence in an open and attrac
tive fashion. He said that he had .
taken quite a fancy to Liebknecht j
in the hotel, thought that for "a so
cialist he had interesting views, "and -a
good way of putting them. And
so when he got into the car beside
the clubbed man he.' drew his re
volver and told him that he would
shoot him if he tried to escape. V (
Thus, chatting about socialism,'
they continued their journey, Lieb
knecht streaming with blood, but
in the opinion of the captain-lieutenant
not sufficiently wounded to;
make it advisable to have medical '
advice. Presently, in a dark corner
of the Thier-Garten, the -car
stopped. Evidence was accepted as
proving that the breakdown was
genuine. , f
"Escaping" When Shot.
t . . rd i
artung neither sent for another
car nor. remained in the car until
the damage was repaired, but turned
his, man out into the dark, and
warned him that he would be shot it
he tried to escape. v
Presently he was sliot and killed,
and evidence was accepted as satis-
factory, frm an examination f t
body, that he must have been run
ning away. The amiable captain
lieutenant was acquitted, with great
applause at the verdict.
Rosa Luxemburg's Murder'. ,
About an hour later Rosa Lux
emburg was taken to the front door
of the hotel, where a car was wait
ing for her also. But there, for Some"
reason that was not inquired into.
Ewvate Runge was also waiting for
her. As soon as she got into the
car he Swung his rifle and clubbed
her twice on the head. - '
