7 Churches Of America did not suffer
financially in 1916 as result Of the
ar and the increased cost of living,
cording to the Year Book Of the
deral Council of the Churches Of
irist in America, edited by DR.. II. X.
arroll, which is just off the press.
Congregations have given literally to

igor.
According to Doctor CAROLS sta

Protestant and Eastern Orthodox, had

crossing the 100000 mark by about
1900. The net increase OF the year
WAS $4,000, or about 100000 more
than the increase for 1915. In 1890 the
total religious strength was 2O.61S,OO0,
so that in twenty-six years following
the net increase has been 1899 600.
Of ninety-four per cent. while the
gain in the population of the country
Dor the same period has been about
.39000,000, or sixty-one per cent. The
churches have thus gained faster than
the population.
OF the gains in 1916. about 216,00O
were of the Roman Catholic and some
100000 Of the Protestant bodies.
Among the latter 10000 are cred
tied to the Methodist, 10000 TO the
Baptist. and upward of 10000 to the
Presbyterian and Reformed group The
Episcopal Church had a gain of $4,000
and the Lutheran bodies of 10000.
The thirty constituent bodies Of the
Federal Council report a total Of H.
$4,000 commandments, a gain in 1916
Of about $4,000. Except for an ex-
traordinars revision Of the returns OF
the Disciples OF Christ causing an ap-
parent loss Of about 5000, the gains
Of the churches comprising the Fed
erals Council would have been much
larger.

Washington, March 17.-Pres. Will
son believed today there will be no
railroad strike tonight
This confidence did not Iull him
into inaction. He is studying means
of action to prevent railroad and bus
mess paralysis, with its consequent
sufferings for thousands and thou
sands of citizens.
Legal precedents, presented by his
advisors, have been carefully studied,
and it was the White House impress
sion that the president would be en-
abled to take strong steps to check
the strike. Whether he would be
able to put roads under full martial
law was uncertain, though preced-
ents showed he has power to do that
in event Of any violence on lines.
In any event, his friends said, the
president does not propose to let any
railroad strike drag along into bit
ter warfare with attendant high food
prices, shortage Of supplies and gen.

CORN CROP OUTLOOK
INSURES BUILDING
Promising Time for Investors
to Build Either Store Build
ings or Dwellings, Say
Real Estate Men.

Secretary Wallace of the Omaha
Real Estate board in an interview
with number of leading realtors as
to the outlook for the real estate busi-
ness for the coming fall and winter
finds the disposition is to place de-
pendence upon the enormous corn
crop that is now ripening. The next
two. or three weeks, until the corn is
hardened are critical weeks in the
coming years business. 49,.
A prominent realtor put it in this
way: you cannot burden market
city with war debt or trying war con-
ditions in which there will be flowing
daily thousands upon thousands of
cattle and hogs fed by the enormous
corn crop now in prospect. Omaha
stands to profit by these crop condi-
tions better than any other city in the
country"
Another prominent real estate man
who has done great deal for the
development of Omaha expressed
himself in almost the same words.
"After two weeks" he said, "no one
should fear to put their money into
Omaha and into Nebraska lands. The
building operations have been ,retard-
ed by labor conditions and high cost
of material, but the high prices that
corn and oats will bring and bumper
crop which IS nearly assured will 60
far to Offset the high prices required
for building operations.
Then" he said, 1--WE might as well
make up our minds to go right along
because there is no immediate pros
pect of any lower prices for material
or labor in the next year or two."'
These gentlemen have in addition
given expression to the fact that there
is an unexpected inquiry just now for
investment propositions, and also for
store buildings and houses that can
not be supplied. Real estate men as
they have returned from their vaca-
tions express surprise at the fact that
houses are so we'll flledSup, it being
almost impossible to get desirable
dwelling, and that stores are also rent
ed up to the limit. &
Several prominent firms have re-
ported to Secretary Wallace that they
have had correspondence with outside
people who wish to establish them
selves in business in Omaha and can
not find either suitable stores or resi-
dences for themselves and employees.
C. F. Harrison, c. G. George and
others concur in these views.
\, While endorsing these opinions, Fl.
A. Tukey adds this also: lowing to
the high cost of material the return
to the purchase of old houses to be,
modernized is a growing business"
And he thinks 1t an excellent thing for
the city and for the investors.
