sHERMAN's NORTHWARD MARCH
A Military Plan That Did Not Develop
Now PrOvOkes some speeu-
latIve offs"

That General William Tecumseh Sherman
considered his n%orthward march from
savannah to attack Lee in the rear a
greater military achievement than his ad-
vance across Georgia to the sea at saVan-
nah is an interesting contribution to civil
war history made by his son, p Tecumseh
Sherman. at the 81. Louis reunion OF the
Society OF the Army OF the Tennessee.
But in holding the view General sherman
must have taken into account the relative
difficulties that were TO be overcome and
the opposition encountered In making the
two marches. The main purpose OF his
advance from Tennessee into Georgia In
the first half OF 1864 was to cut off the gulf
states from Lees army in Virginia.
The plan was agreed upon between Grant
and Sherman as the former was going east
to take command OF the army OF the Poto-
mac. The strategy was the same as that
by which Burgoyne. In I'M, had attempted
70 cut off the New England states from the

middle and southern states in the revolu-
tionary war. 1t was the same strategy
which Grant had successfully carried out by
the capture of Vicksburg. isolating the
states Of the eonfederacy east of the Missis-
sippi from Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas.
As long as that superb master of tactics,
Joseph e. Johnson. remained in front Of
him with a comparatively small but always
compact force, Sherman advanced warily
and with extreme caution. His army re.
ceived no better news than that Johnson
had been relieved and that his forces had
been given TO Hood for a march into
Tennessee on the flank Of sherman's lines
of communication.
No more fatal strategic mistake was ever
made than that which sent Hood into
Tennessee TO encounter Thomas in the
disastrous defeats of Franklin and Nash

REAL ESTATE GOSSIP
Captain n Z. Palmer Shows Easy
Way TO Increase Values,
URGES POLITICAL UNION AT ONCE
Greater Omaba in Fact would Boost
PrICes'aS Per Cent, Declares EE-
Postmnster-week of
Ei Biz Deals.

IF property holders wish to increase the
value OF their holdings at least Is per
cent" said Captain II. Z. Palmer, former
postmaster OF Omaha, they hculd unite
60 work for a greater political Omaha I
mean that the uniting In one municipality
of Omaha, South Omaha and Dundee
would mean such an increase almost over
night in the value OF lots and buildings.
Just so long as eastern capitalists see
the population Of Omaha in the census
column. including only the people within
the limits OF the municipality as now con-
%stituted, just 50 long will they have an
Underestimate OF the real size OF this city
and its real population. Add TO this the
unfortunate fact that the census Of some
years ago was inflated and the showing
less some years later. and the combination
IS bad. or course, Omaha is growing so
fast and property value are showing so
good an increase that there is a big gain
all the time in spite Of this handicap. But
there is no necessity for the handicap at
All and the best single movement which
could be undertaken for Omaha-far and
sway the beat movement-woul be con-
certed action toward political union
Such union would benefit owners of
property in South Omaha as m~uoh-prob-
ably m~ore-than Omaha men and similarly
with Dundee holders. We are trading too
much with one another, and it is a pity
that foreign Investors who are nowadays
seeking realty investments in preference
TO wild stock issues. should have an err
roneous idea Of the size and population OF
Omaha. This will be the case, however,

vile. Sherman's march to the sea was un-
opposed. But when he turned northward
from Savannah he had to advance through
a depleted country and a small force under
johnson was gotten together to impede
his progress.
II Lee could have held out, Johnson's re.
treat before herman advance through
North Carolina might have ended in as
stunning a blow to the pursuer as that
which Nathaniel Greene dealt CORVALLIS
at Guilford court house six or seven months
before Yorktown.
But Grant had worn Lee out before Sher-
man could arrive upon the scene Of war in
Virginia. Sherman's estimate of Johnson
as one of the greatest soldiers of the war
was justified by the difficulties which the
confederate commander threw in his way

money was to make possible the noble IN
stitution. His wealth was invested In
real estate in the lower part OF Manhat-
tan, and the property was rising In value,
so that in 1875 IT was estimated that
sc. 600. 600 was available for the new
American College of Music.
The legislature chartered the institution
A board Of trustees was formed with the
following membership: Henry c. Steb-
bins. E.. D.. Morgan, DR.. William Elmer,
Edwards Pierrepont, William H. Wander
bilt, C. L. Tiffany, II. J.. Jewett, Benjamin
Ray, Morgan L. Harris, Alfred I. Simon
son and Daniel Kingsland. A site In Cen
trail park. adjoining the Metropolitan Mu-
scum of Art. was selected and plans for a
marble palace were drawn.
While the preliminary work was In
progress Mr.. Wood died at SO West Thir-
y-ninth street, which was his town house
and in which he had many times pre-
pared with his own hands dinners ana
suppers for his friends. With his death
came the unexpected news that his
nephew and only relative, Abram Hewlett
intended 10 contest the VIII.
Litigation continued for more than a
quarter of a century, until the estate had
! been entirely exhausted. Frederick Lewis
well known In his time, was appointed

in st. Vincent's hospital recently. was
active in the management OF the estate

and even In the same town where the origi-
nal is built, totally lacks the fine senti-
ment necessary to properly plan and de-
sign beautiful homes. The architect must
live. he has his family and business ex-
penses to meet and, it is necessary for him
to receive a proper and just remuneration
for his work which seldom reaches any
where near the value Of his service to the
homebuilder, but it is not necessary for
him to deliberately steal his reputation or
his living IL he is a competent designer OF
natural talent, sentimental, honest and re-
sourceful.

Many real estate men regret the fact
that the new court house is to be located
on the site OF the old one, instead of q
block 20 the west II this were the case
and the present site turned into a plaza,
Omaha would nave a reasonably good APP
proaeh to a realization of the group system
OF public buildings, now carried out at
great expense in the east. The city hall.
OF course, faces one side, the library and
Young Mems Christian association are a
short distance away on Harvey street. Two
big office buildings, the Bee building and
the New York Life. are east of the city
hall. II the court house is located where

building In the vicinity would be greatly

plan would give Omaha the additional ad-
vantage OF being the first western city TO
RrasD the possibilities of the group system.
There is little likelihood that this plan

Tn past week saw the announcements
OF three new building projects west Of
seventeenth street, two on FarnaEn and
one on Douglas. The new office and
store buildings to be erected by the Bran
dieses, Captain Palmer, Messrs, clifford,
Graham and Bridges mark an era Of ex-
pansion westward which is of the highest
Importance and the news was hailed with
pleasure by every real estate agent in the
city. But a few days previous It was an
nounced that John l.. Kennedy will also
put up a modern building IN the same
vicinity and this makes four new buildings
OF the kind.
For one 'vicinityt this is the largest amount

Apropos OF building, there Is a timely
editorial in Golfers for the week regard
ing the favorable opportunities which are
in the lap OF, tbs. present for building. The
paragraph says4

build soon. do It now. Borrow. IL 'neces-
sary, whatever. under your own circum-
stances. IS a prudent portion Of the cost.

materials for construction, especially lum-
Der. are very cheap. Flooring, in most
localities, is 20 per. cent below It's price a
