confscates Alley Property.
$50 far as the bill just passed is con-
cerned," Charles H. Bauman said to-
day. at simply and purely confiscates
property"
Mr.. Bauman is the president Of the
Oriental Building Association. Build
ing associations will be hard hit by
any such confiscatory provisions of an
alley bill as the Senate has enacted,
Mr.. Bauman said, inasmuch as they
have lent large sums on the 100000
worth Of alley property in Washington.
IAN exceedingly dangerous clause in
the BILL Mr.. Bauman said, "is the fol-
lowing:
The use or occupation of any build
Ing or other structure erected or placed
on or along any such alley as dwell
ing or residence or place of abode by
any person or persons Is hereby declar-
ed injurious to life. to public health,
trict; and such use or occupa ton of
any such building or other structure
on. from and after the first day of
July, nineteen hundred and eighteen,
1.-The use Of the word along in that
clause is an especially dangerous en-
ployment. The clause in general not
only tries to eliminate houses in al
through from street to street. but also
prevents occupation as residences or
places of abode Of houses facing or
streets along said alleys less than
thirty feet wide.
The use of this word along In this
bill would affect millions Of dollars
worth Of property in Washington.
Not Mrs. Wilson's Ideas.
TT was claimed by some that the
Senate was passing legislation advo-
Gated by Mrs. Wilson before her death.
That poor lady, had she been able to
protest, were she still alive, would
never have stood for any such con-
hscatory legislation as this Senate
measure. People in this city do not
realize what this Senate bill means.
Il believe in cleaning out the al
leys. but l believe in paying for the
property taken, and / am in favor of
providing for the people who are forced
out OF the alleys. l claim that the law
that should be passed is one that will
make the alleys sanitary and habitable,
providing, as they do. a place for alley
residents to dwell. When six alley
families move out of six alley houses
they are forced. for want Of proper
provision for them, to dwell. all 81.
families, in one house. There isn't
anything sanitary about that. A great
er evil will be created II the alleys
are abolished without provision for
the alley dwellers."

APPEAL TO BR|T0NS
BY EARL KITCHENER.
Field Marshal Tells What Must
Be Done to Assure
Success.
REVEALS THE STRENGTH
OF THE FORCE IN FRANCE
Necessity for Additional Levies for
Troops Explained-Steady Flow
of Reinforcement Needed.

LONDON, September 1s.-Speaking in
the house of lords yesterday Field
Marshal Earl Kitchener revealed the
strength Of the British expeditionary
fore in France and described what he
believed must be done to assure a sue
cessful issue Of the conflict A steady
flow Of reinforcements was required,
he said.
There were already in France. the
secretary of war said. rather more
than six divisions of British troops
with two divisions of cavalry. which
were being maintained at their full
strength Further regular divisions
and additional cavalry were being or
ganized from units drawn from over
seas garrisons, which were now being
occupied by territorials and volunteers.
A division of territorials already had
left for Egypt, brigade had gone to
Malta and garrison force to Gil
oraltar.
Collecting New Divisions.
Referring to the two new armies. the
secretary said that new divisions were
quarters. The third army was being
and the fourth army was being created.
meantime, Indian divisions were on
their way.
In his dispatches from the front Sir
John French, command of the Brit
ish expeditionary force, had omitted.
the secretary continued. one aspect of
the situation-''the consummate skill
ard calm courage OF the commander
Tue government appreciated, how
ever. the full value of Sir johns
services. Earl Kitchener also paid a
tribute to the other generals and the
bravery and endurance Of the officers
and men of the expeditionary force.
The latest advices from Gen. French
did not materially change the situa-
ton, as it was already known from
published statements. The troops were
reported to be in good heart and ready
20 move forward when the moment
arrived"
Easy to Obtain Officers.
On the subject of recruiting. Earl
Kitchener said: "a country which
prides itself on outdoor sport as does
England should have no difficulty in
finding men capable of making Off
GERS. The territorials are making
great strides in efficiency. and before
long. will be able to take their pat
in the campaign. Meanwhile reserve
units are being sent to augment the
expeditionary force and their places
are being filled by territorials.
While England has gooo ground for
quiet confidence it should be borne in
mind that the struggle is bound to
be long one, and it bshooves US to
develop armed forces to carry on and
bring the. mighty conflict to a sue
cessful conclusion. 1t will be nee
essary in order to keep the army at
its full strength to maintain a steady
dow of endorsements"

Excellent Operating Base.
On the other hand. if the Germans
resume the offensive. the country now
occupied by them affords an excellent OPP
Grating base.
1t is clear from reports coming in from
the allies that the victory in the battle
of the Marine and the assumption of the
offensive had a tremendous moral eject
on the Franco-Britiah armies.
The Paris correspondent OF the
Reuter- Telegram Company sends the
following dispatch:
Despite the gravity of recent com
munications no uneasfness is felt mere
regarding the result of the battle OF
the Aisne. 1t is realized that, as in
the case of the battle of the Marne
news necessarily will be scarce for
some days.
1.-THE struggle of the last three days
has not been less severe Than that of
the Marine, but the conditions favor the
allies. Certainly the enemy's right
occupies a very strong position, but
even that quarter has been obliged to
give way slightly at certain points
The chief Difficult Y heretofore has been
to locate the position of the enemy's
guns.

"Along the rest of the line the Ger

conversation with Ambassador Gerard.
Although Sir Cecil Spring-Rice the
British ambassador. called at the State
Department to discuss some neutral
ity cases, the subject was not men,
toned to him. The French ambas-
advised of the latest phases. although
previously Secretary Bryan took both
ambassadors into his confidence on the
various steps in the informal move
ment.
1t was recalled today that the atti-
tude of President Wilson in waiting
for something definite from the bellig-
e.ents was similar to that of the
American ambassadors at Toxic and
st. Petersburg before the Russo-Japa-
ENJOYS were particularly careful at
that time to obtain in writing a def
mite request for the transmission of
peace plans and the American govern

formal soundings.
Attitude of Germany.
Germany's attitude Is summarized by
Ambassador Gerard thus:

peace.
it forced on her. Even IL she defeats
France. she must likewise vanauish
both Great Britain and Russia, as all
three have made an agreement not to
make peace except by common con-
sent.
Similarly England has announced
through Premier Asquith and her
diplomatists and newspapers that she
intends to fight to the limit of her en-
durance. In view of that determine
ton ON the part of Great Britain, the
United States ought to get proposals
of peace from the allies.
Germany could accept only a last
Ing peace, one that would make her
people secure against future attacks.
TO accept mediation now would be
weakness on the part of Germany and
would be misunderstood by the Ger
man people. who, having made great
sacrifices, had the right to demand
guarantees of security"
Ambassador Gerard added that per-
