foundation of the work which 1t car
rles on for the purpose of bringing
new settlers and home-seekers into
the West.
Exhibit Rooms for Use of All.
These exhibit rooms are for the use
of all and since they were opened
many have been the visitors. A sec
ton of the Exhibit rooms has been set
aside In which to care for the validat-
ing of stock mems tickets, and these
stockmen In increasing numbers wan
der along the aisles searching not only
for the exhibit from their own state,
but for the exhibit prepared by the
"other fellow" The Union Pacific
urges that all visitors In Omaha make
1t a point to visit these exhibits In
the building at 18th and Dodge SITS.
The Colonization & Industrial Blu
reau has no land to sell, and Its only
interest in the sale Of land by those
who have 1t, Is the building up of
the territory which 1t serves. In
other words, its interest is the bring
ing together of the land and those
no would make new homes upon the
land. For that reason expert agents
Of this Bureau investigate thoroughly
all land that Is offered for sale and
all land agents. These experts satisfy
themselves that the iand is suitable
for farming. that the climatic condi-
tons are right and that the price at
which II Is offered Is reasonable; next
they satisfy themselves that the land
agent is honest and reliable. There IL
no need to fool men In order to get
them to settle In the West--the truth
Is strong enough.
Ads Carried In Eastern Papers.
A very extensive advertising cam.
paign In the Eastern states. the
Southern states and the States NJ the
Mississippi Valley enables this Bu-
reau to get In touch with those
who wants facts about the West and
as soon az its representatives learn
what section Of the country most an
peals TO the prospect he Is turned
over to the trustworthy land agents
operating In that section.
These land agents take M the work
from there on and the records of the
Bureau show that the work has been
most successful
During the last year the advertising
nv the Union Pacific System reached
a circulation Of more than Ave million
readers month. There were received
nearly ten thousand inquiries and
there are records of o.492 carloads OF
household goods moved into and
through the various states listed
above. during SIX months Of this Der
iod.
This does not include those who
came into the West without shipping
their household goods and there are
many who sell out all such property
before moving. Neither does II in
clude those who went overland In au-
tomohiles and there are many Of
them, tho So II would seem that here
Is proof of the effectiveness of the
plan worked out by the Union Pacific
system.

WOUNDS EASILY KILL
POORLY FED HUNS
Escaped French Prisoners Report
Many Deaths in Hospitals.

Lack OF food and clothing in the
German armies Is responsible for their
tremendous casualty lists, according
to the story of Georges Balmat and
Georges Arnaud. two French soldiers
belonging to the 9Th Company of the
sd Battalion OF Alpine Light Infan-
try. They were prisoners in the
hands Of the Germans for several
days but escaped to their own lines.
Their report has Just been received
at the French War Mission here.
They were used at Oulchy to bury
the dead from the hospitals there.
They report that while there were
about an equal number of French and
German wounded in the hospitals, and
the natural presumption would be tina;
the Huns would make a greater effort
TO save their own men, yet there were
between % and 10 bodies of German
soldiers for burial each day and only
few French.
The two renchmen were told by a
German stretcher bearer that the
French were Well noHrished and con.
sequently robust and so were able 70
bear the operations necessary and
rally TO quick recoveries, but that
the Germans were in such a state OF
physical exhaustion from malnutri-
tion and improper clothing that they
were unable to resist even minor
operations.

by q greater American fleet which
has been estimated to include 80 war
ships OF all classes and from 90O.0ol
to 10000 men.
The Germans undoubtedly have teen
building many battieships since 1914.
but with their scarcity Of labor and
material they could not possibly have
built as many as have Lngland and
America Most Of Germany's efforts,
too. have been devoted to building
submarines.
Tirpits Predicts Drive
Admiral Won Tirpitz has been
quoted as saying that as soon as
the German armies have pushed the
French and British back to Paris.
the naval offensive would begin. 1t
is considered likely. therefore. that
it will start simultaneously with
the renewal Of the drive on the
Western front. and that at least will
come before the end OF the summer.
A great German defeat on the sea
would have serious consequences in
the fatherland, so the Kaiser and
his admirals have undoubtedly given
the matter their most solemn con-
sideration. 1t has been freely pre-
dicted, however. that IL the Kaiser
saw the war going against him on
land. he would stake everything on
last drive against the British and
American fleets.
The whole German naval power
would be thrown into an attempt
to break through the allied Gordon
into the North Sea. for the purpose
of destroying as many allied war
and merchant ships as possible be-
fore the final crash of Germany.
