12—A Government Kept MEET MR. CITY PLAN Municipal Architect Tells Local Home Builders How Valua- i ble They Really Are. | FINE FUTURE FOR OMAHA “The greatest ally of city planning | is the real estate man,” said Charles | Mulford Robinson of Rochester, N. Y. in speaking to the Omaha Real Estate board last Wednesday. “The| only thing that seems really strange | about it all, is that the city planning| movement and the real ecstate man have so recently found each other.” Mr. Robinson is a city planning ex- pert, who is here frequently helping the Omaha City Planning board with its work. “We will not do much in| Omaha this year,” he said, “except to | assemble information and data in re-| gard to what is needed here and the | best way to go about it. Next year| we hope Omaha can get an appro- priation large enough so that city planning work can actually be put into operation.” | Economic Basis. | The speaker said there are a num- ber of economic reasons for a city planning program. “It means sta- ility in values,” he said. "It takes real estate from the speculative mar- ket and puts it on the investment market. It tends to reduce the cost of development, for when wé know what is to be the future of a given street we can plan that street with that definite future in mind. If it is| to be a strictly residence district, for example, the streets need not be quite so wide, and the pavement not so heavy as where heavy traffic is to be looked for in a business section, The cost of maintenance will also be less, as it will cost less to keep such a street clean. The mere item of sprinkling will be less. “City planning promotes saleability of lots. People will be more ready to buy lots in a fivtn residence dis- trict for they will be assured of the stability of values by the fact that they know what future that addition is to have. It also prevents over- crowding and a Jot of other evils. Money Now Lost. C. F. Harrison asked Mr. Robinson how much Omaha would have saved in dollars and cents if it had had city planning from the start instead of platting additions hit or miss. “I cannot say,” answered the speak- er. “It is beyond the dreams of avarice.” . He said that thg first work in lay- ing out a city was to determine cer- tain arterial streets upon which the main traffic is to be had, then to ldy those streets out sufficiently wide, and to leave blocks enough on either side for business expansion, etc. Korea Is Recovering From Trade Effects of the War (Correspondence of The Assoclated Press.) Seoul, Korea, Oct. 31.—Official in- vestigation shows that Korea has ually recovered from the blow t its trade by the European war lagt year. The export of cow hides shows a great increase, due to the large demand for them by Japan to meet the large order for army boots from Russia. ' In Korea, some two million yen worth of boots and ammu- n_llion pouches were exported to Rus- sia. Partly as material for the chemical indm(rfy‘v that has.developed in Japan to reach markets monopolized by &’er- | many, and partly to meet the general demand in the market owing to the shortage of stock, the export from Korea of rice, linsced, tallow, cotton, alum, gold ore and dyestuffs greatly increased. i A decrease was generally seen in articles imported from Europe, a re- markable falling off being witnessed in the figures for wheat flour, condensed milk, salted herring, alcohol, aniline dye stuffs iron and dynamite. Im- ~ports from the mother country, how- ever, increased, and Japancse goods took the place of foreign articles, es- pecially wheat flour, petroleum, iron nails and plate glass. The deduction is that Korea will more and more depend on Japan for its necessities, Government Distributes | Publication on the Bedbug (Correspondence of tho Assoclated Press.) Washington, Oct. 31—+"“Crimson Ramble: Chintzes” and “Mahog- any Fla or, as they are more com- monly known, bedbugs, are the sub- ject of one of the latest government publications hich the Department of Agrkn!tur is distributing to all ap- plicants. foverunmm scientists have made a study of this pest and have made a report on its origin, life his- tory, habits and methods for their eradication Busy Rescuing Boys From Warring Armies (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) Washington, Oct. 31.—Of the many unexpected duties the United States has found thrust upon it by the world war, one of the strangest is that of rescuing adventurous boys who enlist in the European armies. There have been more than a thou- sand such cases since the war began, and even now letters praying for the release of young soldiers of forfune pour into the State department at the rate of fifty a day. It has been neces- sary to assign an official to give spe- cial attention to the subject. The story almost always is the same. The youngster, generally be- tween 16 and 20, suddenly disappears and is next heard from when he writes home from Canada or England that he has had enough of war and wants to come home. Then follows an almost tornado- like correspondence in which officials parents, congressmen and persons who- think they can hurry the pro- cesses of diplomacy by their influence | become sympathetic, tearful, impor- tunate or mandatory. The red tape of governmental businéss, however, unwinds slowly and finally the con- sul general in London or Ottawa, or somewhere else, or, perhaps the American embassy makes representa- tion to the foreign government and the adventurer is released and sent home. \ Until recently the British govern- ment has been promptly releasing all Americans under 21 on the request of the United States government, on the ground that it is illegal for such a person to enlist in a foreign army without parents' consent. Recently the Brtish government has shown a disposition to reduce the age limit to 18, when minors become of age in a military sense. \ Treatise on Rye Culture Is Issued by the Government (Correspondence of The Assaclated Press.) Washington, Oct. 31—~The ten- dency in the last few years toward the spread of rye culture in the United States has lead the Depart- ment of Agriculture to issue a treatise on the subject which has just been published and is being distributed to farmers asking for it. The United States last \year produced its record crop of rye, harvesting 49,000,000 blushels. “American < production is only 3 per cent of the world’s production. The department experts oint out that there are many excel- ent reasons for growing rye on the farm even though in most localities it is less profitable as a grain crop than wheat. Rye is harder and can therefore be grown as a winter grain in cold, exposed places. It will do well on sandy, poor, or acid land and may be sown later than wheat. It is attacked by fewer insects and diseases than wheat, produces a valu- able straw, requires less fertilizer, and being ecarlier .is better as a forage crop. In some sections production value per acre from rye actually ex- ceeds that of wheat, This was true in the five-year period from 1910 to 1914 in .South, Carolina, Alabama, Texas, Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota. Jap Minister Will Pay Visit To the Vatican at Rome (Correspondence of The Assoclated Press.) Tokio, Oct. '31.—Yagoro Miura, apanese minister to Switzerland, has een instructed to proceed to the Vatican at Rome to return the visit made to the Japanese court early this year by Archbishop Petrelli, special apostolic delegate, who conveyed to Emperor Yoshihito the coronation congratulations of Pope Benedict. Minister Miura will present to the pope an autograph letter from Em- peror Yoshihito, There is no indication here that Japan intends to inaugyrate perma- nent diplomatic relatiols with the Vatican. ' Japanese Realize Huge Ij'rofits From Brass Cash (Correspondence of The Assaclated Pregs.) Peking, Oct. 31.—During the six months from July to December, 1915, Japanese firms are said to have real- ized a profit of $60,000,000 silver from Chinese brass cash bought in the northern provinces of the reptblic. | This cash is the old-fashioned @hinesc money, with square holes in the cen- ter. Mu7h of it is very old and its value as/a circulating medium is so far below the market value of the metal it contains that there is a profit of at least 200 per cent in buying the old coin and melting it down. _ HOG FEEDERS—ATTENTION!

REAL ESTATE, LODGE ROOM NEWS War Loss to British | Steamship Men Hear | Lubin's Talk Favoring Commerce Commission London, Oct. 31.—Representatives of thirteen of the transatlantic steam- ship lines, in a meeting just held in | London, listened with great attention to arguments in favor of the proposed international commerce commission | by David Lubin of New _\nrk and California, who succrcdc(l in getting through congress resolutions endors- | the steadying of prices of staples through the fixing of freight rates on ocean bulk traffic. Mr. Lubin has succeeded in inter- esting the big shippiyg men here in his plan, among them being Walter Runciman, president of the Board of Trade, who is a member of a wealthy shipping family. The) meeting was called by Sir Norman Hill, a great Liverpool shipping magnate. Among the lines represented were the Am ican, Allen, Atlantic Transport, sociated Lines, Canadian Pacific, Cunard, Dominion, Furness, Withy, Harrison, Leyland, White Star and Wilson. Mr. Lubin’s address was followed by questions from practically all at- tending that revealed general interest in the plan. To questioners who feared the result of such a strict con- trol of the lines as to compel them to conform to special rates, Mr. Lubin pointed to the benefits sustained by the railroads in the United States from the Interstate Commuwrce com- mission’s rules. / “Before the Interstate Commerce commission came into being the price of the leading American railway stocks on your market here were as uncertain as those of common wild- cat schemes offered to the public,” he said. “But tlre stabilizing effect of the Interstate Commerce commission’s control has, as you know of your own personal knowledge, converted them into the highest gilt-edged securities.” Rumors of Wellington Koo’s Death Go Rounds of Press (Correspondence of The Assoclated Press.) Peking, Oct. 3l.—Immediately fol- lowing announcement that Welling- ton Koo had offered his resignation as Chinese minister in Washington, many Chinese newspapers printed an announcement that Mr, Koo was dead. This was immediately denied by the Foreign ‘office, but the report is still going the rounds of the Chinese press and promises to have nearly as wide circulation as the rumor that Presi- dent Yuan Shi-Kai was not dead.

Mercantile Marines Runs Into Millions rrespondonce of T ssociated Pres.) London, Oct. 3l.—In a leading]| article on “The Tonnage Shortage and | .iverpood Journal of Commerce, poffits out that the | British mercantile marine has suf-| fered a loss equivalent to' 4,000,000 | tons of shipping, detailed as follow } Hindrance of new construction, 1,700, | 000 tons; war losses, 1,520,000; ex-| cessive depreciation, 1,000,000 tons. Quoting Lloyds' Register for the | quarter ending September 30, 1916, in | which vessels completed only totalled | 71,000 tons gross, the journal says,| 70,000 tons per quarter, or one decent | ship a week, is a ridiculous output. In| spite of admitted difficulties it is hard or the ougsider to believe that this cannot be improved, while everyone| claiming any general knowledge of the situation is well aware that many | more ships could be turned out with- out at all interfering with the more urgent requirements of any other sec- tion of our fighting machinery.” | The paper claims that a constantly | increasing multitude of officials are being employed to stifle the best ef- | forts of shipbuilders and apparently | to ensure that what available labor and material theve is shall be wasted; | and urges the necessity of appointing | one strong man tq govern cverything, to sec that available supplies are not | frittered away, to ensure that the man | who can best build big ships is given big ships to build and in general to ar- range things on a sensible basis. “The men who have run the ship| yards for years as busine oncerns, who have guided their policy for a| lifetime, find themselves helpless in! the face of an invading army, which | apparently thinks that in this grave crisis inexperience is more likely to yield good’results than expert knowl- edge. “What is required is the appoint- ment of a dictator, an individual who Commerce Range Demonstration Beginning tomorrow morning, No- vember 6, and continuing one week, the Central will have in operation one of the Commerce ‘King of Ranges.” This will be an unusually interest- | ing Range Demonstration, as the en- tire construction of these justly plained in detail and the many rea- sons why it will do more- perfect baking, use less fuel and last longer, will be made clear.

Amsterdam, Netherlands, Oct. 31.— An anti-swearing league is the latest social phenomenon in Holland. If the speakers at its foundation meet are to be credited, the Dutchman is becoming badly addicted to trans- gressing the thitd commandment, both in the salons of the rich and in the cottages of the poor, while curs- ing is said to have spread to a “terri- ble” extent in the camps and barracks of the mobilized army. Among the suggestions put forward for combating the evil was that em- ployers should be requested to hang up a prohibition of swearing in their factories and workshops, and that the government should be asked to for- bid it in all branches of the public service.
