NEED OF NIGHT SCHOOL
IN CONGRESS HEIGHTS
Citizens Association Discusses
Topic-0ther Desired Improve
ments Are Listed.

The establishment of a night school at
Congress Heights was a subject Of dis
cussion by the members of the Public I'M
provement Association of that suburb at
the October meeting last night in the town
hall, on Alabama avenue southeast. Ed
ward Blaine presented motion on the
subject, and in SO doing stated that the
night school there was discontinued sew
eral years ago without any apparent rea-
son, and that the present conditions made
such sessions extremely desirable. Gus
tave Bender and W. w. Price called at
tention to the large number of young
people employed at the Government Hos
pital, and also at the plant of the Wash
ington Steel and Ordnance Company, who
might desire to take advantage of such a
course. The board of education will be
asked to consider the matter at once.
Attention Called to kindergarten.
In this connection, attention was called
to the kindergarten which was started
year ago, when it was thought that not
enough children could be secured to make
class. This year it was necessary to
the work alone.
Gustave Bender. as chairman of the
legislative committee, reported tnat
his committee had compiled a list or
improvements needed In the suburb
and had forwarded the same to the
District Commissioners. The list IN
cludes repairs to about fourteen
streets, additional sewer facilities and
extension of the water system. He
stated Inat when the matter was pre-
sented in Congress his committee
would endeavor to secure hearing 10
urge the improvements.
The class of houses which are belns
erected on Portland street at present,
on the line to the steel plant, was
discussed. The association expressed
the hope that the promoters OF the
buildings would not create tendency
to lower the value of property in the
suburb by the erection OF houses not of
modern character.
The Commissioners will be urged to
spend the appropriation made availa BILE
BY the last Congress for the improve
ment of 7th street at an early date.
1t was the only street in the suburb
included in the final bill. and as yet
nothing has been done toward carry
ing out the work.
Other Desired improvements.
Other improvements to be urged will

The repaving of 18th street

system into the Wahler subdivis on
and into the section near the Govern
ment Hospital property west from
Nichols avenue, and the Improvement
of Portland street to it's approved
width from Nichols avenue west also
are urged.
At the November meeting of the as
sociation a stag social Is to be held,
with buffet supper. Messrs. Williams,

President Price to arrange for this
event.

and Tenedos, in the piecemeal fashion in which this Is now done, the food and ammunition required by the allied troops Large supply ships nearing the coast of the peninsula are regularly driven off by the Turkish artillery. As the result of this the vessels are gen orally lightered out to the open sea, and the barges brought in during the night With a high sea running in the fall and winter this will be q difficult undertaking. So immense will be the supply problems of the allied forces on the peninsula then that an evacuation may become necessary, according to well informed officers here. In har- mony with this, the Turkish batteries have for some time taken under fire anything that gave the impression that it contained stores for immediate or future use.
 Meanwhile much interest is shown here in the modus operandi the allies would employ in removing their troops from the peninsula. The allies could not evacuate all of their positions, and re- embark their men in a single night, the time best suited for this. The Turks, undoubtedly, it is believed here,
  series of assaults turn it into q ter rible route, which would have it's end in the shore waters of the peninsula. Un- der the cover of a large fleet, the re- embarking of the allied troops might be less difficult, but here again the German submarines must be taken into consideration. Transports and men of war might fall their preSalike.
 ,r the allies position on the GallipoH pen insula as seen from the Turkish side leaves little in favor of the French and English troops, though, no dobt, as everybody here admits, their fate will be decided on the battlefields of the east and west. Whether the landing of a large Italian force so much spoken of recently, would change the situation materially depends upon developments incident to this operation. Certain it is that today there is no locality suit able for a landing of the Italians which has not been prepared for their recep- tiOn.
