THE BEE: JULY on GERMANS PARADE | AND THEN PIGNIC| Baengerfest Parade Travels 0mme| Through Streets While Oma- hans Line Sidewalks. PICNIC AT THE GERMAN nonl A beautiful and inspiring flxhl! ‘was the German Saengerfest pl.nde} yeoterday, with its bands and ban-| mers and scores of automobiles filled with fair women | It started from Sewenteenth and Cass streets, where the Omaha Musik Vereln bullding is located, and marched through the principal busi- ness streets, disbanding finally at Thirteenth and Leavenworth streets, from where street cars took all those marching, and their automobiles| took those riding, to the German | homeé and park, 4406 South Thir- teenth street, where a pienic wil continue over today. A platoon of police led the parade and then came the officers and other digni- taries of the saengerfest in numerous au- tomoblles and on horseback. In one automobile was horne the great saengerfest banner, its staff surmountsd by a golden lyre. This banner is kept by the saengerfest oity untll the next following fest, when it is dellvered %o the mext city. Carry Banners and Flags. Then followed a company of seventy- two men, each bearing a big flag or a | banner. Some of these flags and banners were magnificent silken things, others showed age and were vested with historlc interest, There were forty-four splendid o banners and twenty-elght flags, most of the latter being the Stars and Btripes, but several being the ensign of the Futh~ eriand. Delegations from the various visiting #inging socleties marched next, many of them In distinctive costumes. The Milwaukee Liederkranz had hired a wagon and a little German band to supply its own music. Four men marching within & float with little German flags at the ocor- mers and a big American flag in the middle and a lyre on each side, con- stituted the contribution of the Ger- mania singing soclety of Btanton, Neb., to the parade. The Lincoln men marched under red, white and biue umbrellas. Band Rides in Jituey Car, One of the bands had hired a big Jitney car, but all the others unflinch- ingly made the long march over the parade route. The best was saved till the last.

This gentleman has outlined dis plans to Secretary Daniels, who [seems to be very much taken with the roposition, and as he asks absolutely nothing for the use of his idea, but offers to turn over all of his data to the government without charge, and to permit the United States to patent his device, should it see fit, that is to say, he would take out the papers and as- sign to the United States all his rights, it Ia quite likely that this will be ons of the firet matters considered. Big Inventions Rejected. The wisdom of Secretary Daniels plan for gathering together the best sclens tific minds in the country for the de- velopment of alds to the navy is fully vealized by those who have ever had dealings with the government and es- pecially with the army and navy. Of- ficers of those two branches of the military service are prone to be very Jealous of thelr knowledge of military affairs and very skeptical as to the abliity of any olvillan to suggest im- provements in arms, projectiles, am- munition or other methods of propulsion of either vessels or torpedoes. Cases In point are the Hotchkiss gun, Invented by an American, spurned by the officers of the American navy, subsequently adopted by France and England and then eagerly sought by the United States when the Italy waffair threstened to rupture friendly relations between this country and Chill. Also there was the submarine. When Mr. Holland first ob- tained capital enough to bulld his first boat that vessel was brought to Wash- ington together with two yachts which were placed at the disposal of members of congress and officials, newspaper men and others desirous of seeing the new craft, and immediately there was a cry of “lobbying’ and all sorts of wo- cusations were made against these men who were attempting to increase the efficiency of the Amerian navy., It was only by the most strenuous efforts of & few members of the house that an appropriacion was finally secured to purchase the first submarine. In the meantime, however, France, England, Japan and Germany saw the possibilities of the activencss of this American in- vention and they all started wth great activity to build Up flotillas of sub- marine torpedo boats. How well Ger- many, at least, appreciated the American invention is testified by the number or British vessels which have been sent to the bottom by its subs. ..ud yet the United States, in which the first wheel has scarcely enough of these ships In her naval list today to match the little insignificant navy which the republic of Switzerland maintains on Lake Con- stance. Undoubtedly the board to which Secre- tary Danlels proposes to refer all such matters will be guided by common sense and sclentific knowledge rather than by professional jealousy, which has here- tdfore existed in military and naval affars. Food Speculators And Counterfeiters Executed by Villa FL PASO, Tex., July 2.—Two Spaniards and three Mexicans were executed Wed- nesday at Tozgeon by order of General Francisoo Villa, according to information regarded at authentic recelved here to- day. . The Spaniards, Manvel Pinero and Juan Fernandez, were under arrost charged with counterfeiting Villa's money. The Mexicans had been arrested on the charge of speculating In food- stuffe. Germans Land Army Corps Near Libau| LONDON, July 24.—A Petrograd dis- pateh to the Telegraph says: “Private mesages from Riga report that the Germans have landed an entire army corps on the coast near Libau. | The Germans seemed at first to be aiming at Riga, but a sudden swing toward the south on this flank confirm the belief that their real objective s to cut the communications of the Russian Warsaw army, which are protected by cavalry and other light troops.” . (Germans Take Forts 0f Rozan and Pultusk BERLIN (Via London), July 24.—The German army under command of Gen- eral von Beulow has defeated the Rus- slans In & battle near Shavil, accordimsy to the officlal statement issued today by the war office. ‘The Germans fighting toward Warsaw also have stormed the fortresses of Rozan and Puitusk and have forced a crossing of the Narew river, the state- self-propelled under-sea vessel was bullt, ment adds.

Quality continues to run to exe tremes, that is, there are a few strictly |80od to choice dry lot cattle coming, While the big majority of the offerings consists of grassers and half-fat stock, and for this reason the range in prices | |has widened out considerably. In sym- | |pathy with lower markets east, however, |the trend of values has been lower from start to finish, and particularly during | the latter half of the week. Strictly go {to choice beeves, both heavy and light, #how declines ranging from lsc to e, While the grassy and half-fat grades are anywhere from %c to 0c lower than a Wweek ago, and very uneven and uncer- taln sule at that. “Prime yearlings and | best of the handy weights have stood | up best this week, while brunt of the decline | @ fallen on heavy and half-fat #tutf. Tho break in prices this week has been scasonable, as sellers are looking for liberal supplies of western grass cattle from now on, and tho short fed and partly fatted natives are bound to auffer in consequence, Trade in stock cattle and feeding steers {has been very irregular throughout. Barly in the week some choice Wyom steers sold at $8.35@8.45, which look vory high. Medium and common kinds, however, were slow sale throughout, and | at the closo of the week show declines ranging from Ifc to %e.

HOGS—Shippers got idea in their | | heads this morning that they had been I anlnl too much of a premium for their ind of late, and Insisted on a reduc- tion that amounted to, in most cases, 5@ Some shippers were quoted as nearly steady, but most of the sales showed the decline moted. They bought quite a sprinkling of good butchers around Inno nd paid up to $7.50 for the bex(l igh! Packers were slow in getting under| ‘way, but finally put up their droves on a, Enerally steady basis, narrow bulk of the killer hogs selling at $6.60G5.75. Trade, while far from active at any time, was more lively after the first few sales were made, and A pretty decent clearance had been made before 11 o'clock. Today’'s slumip leaves shipper hogs any- where from a dime, in the case of top, to 16@20c lower than a week ago. Even this decline does not equal the break in packers, which amounts to fully | and possibly as much as 40c In spots. The wide range in values noted of lato is largely due to the heavy marketing of | old sows. Packers insist on buying them | well under the prices paid for desirable . and as shipping orders are large, &ood lights are, owing to their compara- tive scarcity, able to command a healthy | premium. ds of $1.00 per hundred or more have been a regular feature of | this week's markets. The week's decline | in packer hogs has been caused largely by a slumpy and overstocked provision | trade. Receipts were estimated at 105 cars, or ' 6,746 _head, Lringing the week's total up to 1,27 head. This is 16000 head larger than ' last week's run, which was the| lightest of the year, and & gain of 3,700 | head over two weeks ago, but is more | ead short of last year. en lamb values dropped to | 8 on last week's close, sellers thought they had just about reachied the low point, | but Monday found rackers still in a bear- | ish mood and prices dropped to $7.75, | which was, on_paper, another %c de- | { cline. Quality was not nearly so good | | as last week, however, and even the | most pessimistic called’ the trade only | | 1ig25c lower, while packers claimed that | the dressed cost of at least part of Mon- | day's purchases was higher than at the | | close of the previous week Quality re- | | mained only falr throughout the first | half of the week, and during that time values held just about steady. On Thurs- ! gav. with better lambs offered, the trade | began to firm up, bulk selling at 7.5, and Friday & Mo advance was scored, | which put prices back to where they | were a week .fn‘ Onlvy & moderate runm | is anticlpated for the first part of mext | week, and sellers look for a continuance of the strength that featured this week's close. ) Quotations on sheen and lambs: Larbs, | §00d to cholce, §T.86G8.M; lambe. fair to| £00d. $7.50@7.55, lambs, feeders $T00@7.5%; yearlings, fair to cholce. 15.5006.35; weth- kood.

President Wilson In his address at Indianapolis expressed his ap- proval of the Slogan, ‘‘If you are going to buy anything, buy it now."’ Such a slogan, if applied by the people of this country, will keep the wheels of progress running smoothly. Statistics show Omaha to be situated in the most prosperous part of the world today. Isn’t that convineing enough that Omaha Real Estate is the best investment obtainable and that the rapid increase in value is an absolute certainty. The shrewd investor plases real estate at the top of his list of Class A investments. Your neighbor invests his moncy in real estate, why not you. Real estate is tan- gible and safe and at the same time brings the largest possible net return on the capital invested. If you have money to invest, invest it now. The paraphrase is as true as the slogan itself. Invest now and invest in Omaha real estate; your money will make money,
