Department OF LABOR
WANTS A BETTER HOME
Secretary Wilson Will Attempt to
Get $4,000 Appropriation
From Congress.

Another effort is to be made by the
Department of Labor at the coming
session of Congress to have Congress
provide it with more money for a build
ing suitable to its needs. In its pres
ent quarters 1t is somewhat cramped,
and under it's present appropriation it
may have to move at the end Of the
present fiscal year.
Secretary Wilson will ask for an ap-
propriation of $4,000 again this year
for the purpose Of acquiring building
that will house all Of the bureaus COM
fortably. This amount was asked for
in the last estimates. but Congress de-
cided that the bureau should have only
$4,000. It was only after consider
able negotiation that the labor depart
ment oficials were able to get the
owners Of the present quarters to ac-
cept this amount for year.
In asking for the $4,000, Secretary
Wilson also Will ask for special per-
mission to make a five-year lease for q
building. II Congress provides the
funds. 1t is probable that efforts Will
be made to have somes corporation
construct building specially suited to
the needs Of the department, as was
done in the case of the Department Of
Commerce, which now is located in a

WILL NOT BAR STREET CARS.
Commissioners Fear No Traffic Block
at Rock Creek Bridge.

Congress will not be asked by the
District Commissioners to amend the
law authorizing the Capital Traction
Company to operate its cars over the
new Pennsylvania avenue bridge. span
ming Rock creek. which is now being
completed, and will be thrown open to
traffic next month.
This decision was reached by the
Commissioners today. following con-
sideration of request from the George
town Citizens Association that the
bridge be used only for vehicular and
pedestrian traffic.
In their reply to the association the
District heads say that the bridge was
designed for use by street cars. and
that the operation of cars over the
structure is not expected to congest
traffic. crs
The law authorizing the Capital Trac-
tion Company to use the bridge also
imposes upon the company the obliga-
tion of paying portion OF the cost OF
the structure. Should the law be amend-
ed, this cost would have to be met by
taxpayers.

Charges Of hcompetency and
Neglect Made in House
of Lords.
PLAY BRIDGE At NIGHT;
SLEEP LATE OF MORNINGS
Lord St. David Says Too Many Of
ticers Are at Gen. French's
Headquarters.

LONDON, November 17.-Charges Of
incompetency and neglect OF their work
were brought against the British stan
in France by Baron St. Davids in the
house Of lords last evening. when he
asked the government whether its at
tention had been directed to the reports
alleging that during the recent fighting
there had been many complaints as to
failures Of the staff work.
Lord St. Davids asserted that men
had been added to the staff for no mill
tary reasons. who ought to be in the
trenches, and that he had been told
that the British headquarters staff was
five or six times as large as that of
Gen. Joffre, the French commander-fn-
chief. It had been stated. he continued,
that women visited headquarters In
France, and asked whether the govern
ment defended their presence there.
Sit Up Late at Bridge.
The people are sending their sons
out to fight under the direction OF men
who, he declared. were living at head
quarters in vast numbers and could not
get early to their offices because they
were up late playing bridge.
ut is about time,'' said Lord St.
Davids, that the men were given a
fair chance. More than once the troops
have broken the German lines. but
owing to bad staff work the whole
thing fell through. Many lives have
been sacrificed owing to muddling in
high places"
The Marquis of Crewe. lord privy
seal, replied that the allegations that
success at Loos had been missed owing
to. the failure to bring up reserves at
the right time was the subject Of an
inquiry between the highest authorities
that could be invoked.
Defends British Staff.
Baron Newton, who said he was un-
able to disclose the number Of the
British staff, defended it, as did also
viscount Haldane, the former secre-
tary for war.
Lord Haldane declared that Lord St
Davids had launched his attack with
out adequate information. 1T is true"
he said, that the country has suffered
owing to the want of an organized
general staff. Nevertheless there has
been evolved general staff of the
highest order. To say that the work
of the staff is a failure is to say some-
thing which is very far from the truth.
