English Officers
Question Wisdom of
Germans Big Guns

Correspondence OF the Associated Press }
LONDON. Oct. B.-Although the big
guns used by the Germans have been the
surprise of the war and are accredited
with having caused the fall of Liege,
Namur and Antwerp, some military ex-
perts in England question the wisdom of
carrying such weapons into the field, re-
garding them as burden which an army
cannot afford to transport
Colonel +. n. Maude, discussing the
heavy guns, says in the Standard:
1T would be interesting to obtain the
exact facts and calculate what the policy
of taking the forty-two-centimete and
twenty eigltt-centimeter howitzers into
the field really cost the Germans in loss
of transport power for the food of the
troops | am willing to grant that the
Observation-Disclosures weapon was admir-
ably adapted for its purpose Of destroy
ing steel and concrete targets presented
by the forts of L!ege and Namur. But
seeing that the weight of one of the shells
is nearly equal to the. weight of a whole
square meal for one of their battalions,
would not the available horsepower
whether mechanical or actual have been
far better employed in hauling food for
men to the front in the first Instance
Military experts writing for the English
press say that big guns are not really a
novelty. The new feature is their gen
eral use in the recent campaigns. Heavy
guns were tried in the Franco-Prussian
war over much the same territory where
recent fighting has taken place, hut their
movement was found too much of a
burden.
England has constructed more for
midable weapon than the German how

planned that his men were very hungry,
having had nothing 10 eat for several
days and asked whether the Germans
would not give them something.
IAN right; call out your men," said
the German. The company thereupon
laid aside their arms and came over to
the Germans where they sat down and

Apartment Houses
Are Filled Early in
the Fall Season

This year was indeed a most favorable
one for apartment house owners and
marks a considerable change in the att-
tude OF people toward this sort OF homes.
Most of the apartment houses were com
pletely filled. three weeks before the rent
ing season usually begins, and there was
a veritablc rush toward the newer apart
ments which embodied the latest improve
ments.
A good example Of the latter was the
new fireproof Traverton, built by Traver
Bros. 705 Omaha National bank building.
The Traverton was full and had a waiting
list long before the usual renting season
began.
Other apartment buildings which were
filled up early in the season were the
Root apartments, Angelus, Strehlow,
Roland% and Majestic. all managed by
Payne & Slater company; lhe Hudson
Royal, Harvey, all handled by Hastings
& Heyden; the Bosworth, Ayers. Urbana
and Pasadena, by ArmstrongWals COM
pany.
This is good evidence that Omaha rent
ers fully appreciate the up-to-date con-
Veniences which these apartments CON
tain and which have been installed at
great expense by the builders.
Omaha builders are constantly studying
the advances in apartment house service
and each new apartment building is the
last word in convenience and beauty.

Recently n war service was held ut
Tyler's Green church in london and many
straight-laCed communicates were shocked
because the organist played "Tipperary"
as "A closing voluntary But hundreds Of
communicates were moved to tears by the
swinging march tune which Tommy At
kns has adopted, in spite of squeamish
persons who would force more decorous
airs upon him.
The orEanist at Tylers Green estab-
lshed n precedent which Ia far-reaching

ers, who are giving it dignified variations
and offering it the nonor place In med
leys OF patriotic airs arranged for sacred

Clergy Calls. II Nonsense.
A prominent clergyman discussing the
protests against "Tipperary'' as a tune
in churches, said: Really. these superior
people might drop their nonsense OF such
a time of national peril l would like to
point out to them that q tune which ia
good enough on n dark. damp night to
cheer our brave men on to almost certain
death in their heroic endeavors to save
their country and the honor Of their
womenfolk is surely good enough with
which to end a church service. Persons
who possess imaginations and hearts must
be moved by such a human sort of tune,
a tune which means so much to the young
Englishmen who are really defending the
nations honor"
Most of the camps where recruits are
in training lack organized bands. The
rapldity of the recruiting and the great
tax upon the resources OF the war office
have not admitted of band organisation.
However nearly every company has a
few musicians who play flies or harmoni-
cas- and "Tipperary" Is the one tune in
variably heard as the youngsters move
along on practice marches. If instruments
are lacking the men whistle the rousing
tune, for it has been demonstrated that

musical can sing or whistle the air.

In addition to the marble contract there
is an almost endless area of tile floors
now in process of installation by the

Reduced to quantities there are nearly
10000 square feet of ceramic tie floors

most of them provided with tile walls as

1t is asserted that 1t is a matter of
common comment among marble experts
who visit Omaha that the quality Of
finish work at the Sunderland mill Is
superior to that of any of the eastern
