Every Man a Volunteer.


Within three minutes thereafter
Sergeant Smith had the company as
sembled, and emitting all fofmali-
ties came right to the point. "Men,
we've got to get ammunition up to

boches will surely give you all they

sergeant Smiths next remark is
matter of wonder-for it is stated he
rarely made any reference to himself
IN his conversation, yet his language
proved the exception to the general
rule We'll, I'll be damned-I
might have known il"
The occasion of the sergeant's
discontinue being that the entire
company had advanced as a unit on
his command. step out"-and Ser
geant Smith at later date asserted
that he has a positive recollection
of at least dozen men whose faces
were unfamiliar to him in his COM
pany that morning. Twelve men
were selected-three men to each
truck, Sergeant Anderson in charge.
Within a short time the four trucks
were loaded, and with Anderson in
the lead they wheeled into column
and started on as dangerous a
piece Of forlorn hope as falls to the
lot Of mankind.
A proper distance for protection
was maintained, and all speed
consistent with the condition Of the
terrain was used. But with shell
craters, wrecks, distractions and
other obstacles the little group had
to progress with some degree of
slowness, and thus some minutes
of extremely valuable time were
lost.

A fair start had hardly been made

Heinie in a scouting plane evident

Activity in Real
Estate Shown by
Demand for Loans

Trust companies and other money
loaning concerns are receiving an
unusually large number Of requests
for loans on city real estate.
This indicates, they say, that the
increased activity in real estate is
genuine. They say that whenever a
man asks to borrow money on real
estate, he is actually buying, and not
merely talking about buying.
Country borrowers are furnishing
what money lenders say is proof of
prosperity. They are paying off por-
tons of their mortgages or other
loans.
When portions of loans are paid
off, money dealers say it is pretty
certain that the borrower has made
the money himself. When the entire
loan is paid off, it is often paid off
with borrowed money.
Requests for money on city prop
city are described thus by Paul
Kuhns, president of the Conserva-
tive Savings and Loan association
There is a mighty healthful demand
for good 8 per cent loans"

HUGE BUILDING
PROGRAM PLAN
OF REALTORS
Many Homes Already Under
Way and Some Are Selling
Before They Are
Completed.

House building in Omaha is TAX
ing on prewar proportions.
In addition to the scores of houses
that are being erected by private in
dividuals for their own use, realtors
who make a business of building
houses, last week reported to the
real estate board that they have 81
houses actually under construction.
Half dozen other interests listed
lz9 that they will build this year.
Plans are now being made for these
l79 houses.
These are only small portion of
the houses that will actually be
built this year.
Sell Before Completion.
One feature of the building stu
alton that is new, is that several
realtors who are building are SELL
ing and closing deals ON houses that
are not finished. Some of them are
only started.
The Benson & Carmichael firm
now has 20 houses under construc-
tion. Five Of these have been sold
Temp McFayden is building IS
houses, and II are now going up
in Sterling park.
G. G. Carlberg is building IA, and

G. B. Stunt is building four and Nor
ris & Norris three, all high grade
residences.
Many other realtors and builders
who have not yet announced their
activities, are building residences.

the number of houses they are plan
ming to build this year: c. w. Mar
lin and company, so; Payne & Slat-

This last list is of firms that have
plans made for building the number
Of houses indicated. The Benson &

Number three truck now cracked
its rear axle and was left behind
with such of its load as could not
be promptly transferred. Truck
number two, with its added load,
proceeded to bog down in a piece
of soft ground and by that time
Heinie had rendered his report and
the range of the guns frightened
down on that devoted truck-the

plosive she'll that spread number
two over a large section of France.
Sergt. Anderson and truck num-
Der one and number four proceeded,
and soon were under open-sight ma
chine gun and shrapnel fire, and it
may be here a matter of record
made that the Hun at this point of
the game certainly put over every
thing in the shape of projectile
that they could beg, borrow, or
steal, and then few more just for
good measure. The truck did every
stunt they had on the program-full
speed ahead, change of direction,
variable speed and stop, but kept
forging ahead and lessening the dis
lance between themselves and the
fighting troops. When within about
quarter of mile of the objective
point number four got it good and
plenty, and then and there sus-
pended operations.
All Down But One.
Anderson now alone was left

commission, and all of their men

killed or wounded-and the two
men with him on number one hav-
ing been cut down by the shrapnel
fire of the enemy, but he gave the
engine all the speed in her and soon
covered the space right up to the
firing line OF the marines-his adj
vance over this particular section
being described as a flying Fourth
of July, with several other holidays
thrown in for good measure-so de-
termined were the Huns to get him.
Now get the cream of this cocoa
nut: The marines had their last
rifle cartridge in their pieces when
Anderson arrived with his truck
load of ammunition. Just let the
fact sink in. The ammunition thus
placed at the firing front was just
precisely at the balance OF the
psychological instant. 1t turned the
Hun wave-and the Germans from
that instant and place were on the
defensive and retreating, instead of
being on the assault and advancing.
Anderson Dies of Wounds.
The Americans rapidly advanced,
and Anderson with practically little
danger returned to his headquarters
arrangements having speedily
been made for securing the ammuni-
ton left on the road. Upon arriv-
ing he alighted from his shrapnel
and bullet-scarred truck, came to
strict attention, saluted with the ut
most and studied precision, and re-
ported the delivery of the rife am
munition, then requested permission
to return to the front with another
load, and even while making this
request he swayed and would have
fallen, but was caught before he
reached the ground in a dead faint
Anderson died ten hours later. The
body of this man bore no less than
IA wounds, all received on that
memorable occasion. The organiza-
ton of which he was member is

But the everlasting teamwork

poses. in This connection one important
feature OF the Iniush plan has been
published. Great Britain does not pro-

parts Of the ships which have indus

these par and 5hen destroy the hulls
and armament. The basis of the

that because Of neir construction they

vessels shall be sunk in the Atlantic
Ocean or otherwise destroyed, is a matter
Of Indifference I'd the Admiralty. The
