BRITISH NAVY MUST
 COME OUT OR FAIL,
 SAYS ADMIRAL HOPE
German Navy Man Says Their
 Fleet Has Bruised Whole
 North Sea in Vain Search for British Navy.
(sy Review Leased Wire>

BERLIN, Dec. II. (wireless to Say ville)-Rear Admiral Kalau vOn Hofe comments in the Vossiche Zeitung on the recent change in the high con- mand of the British navy, which, in his opinion, indicates also a change in the methods of British naval war fare. The Overseas News Agency gives out the following quotations from the admiral's article:
 "The former British plan was to risk the British navy under no cir cumstances. The German navy being encircled in her home ports was thus supposed to be inefficient, while the forced idleness of German merchant ships would consummate the downfall of Germany. As to the German sub marine warfare. England expected to master this problem by diplomatic in- Huence on neutrals
 At the same time the possibility was ad--itted that the German navy by an act of despair might search out the hiding place of the British navy in the high north but there would fight under the most unfavora- ble strategic conditions.
 'The British plan was, ct all events, 10 destroy the peace conference what ever was left of the German navy and save the British navy for great future problems in the Pacific ocean This Br tish plan, however. has failed in every respect. The grand fleet under Jellicoe has failed as proved by Ehe fact that the German fleet has been on the high seas on the Skagerak. ap- preached the English coast, the Thames. and the mouth of the chan nel and brought in steamers to Zee brugge
 Further proof of the inefriciency of the British navy is the increasing dif- ficulty in the transportation of am 'u- rition and other contraband and the increasing shortage of food in Eng land.
 Instead of cool calculation, the Br tish naval warfare henceforth shall be guided by spirit of enterprise. The German navy will hail with satis- faction this change of mind on the part of it's enemy. What dangers this change implies for the neutrals can hardly be foreseen"

WAR SUMhA

The Hungarian and German troops fighting on the center of the line in Rumania have emerged from the swamp lands of the Jarmitza River and the important railroad junction town of Buzeu.
 Before the invaders and BuZeu now lies about 35 miles of plains with no more rivers to cross until the Buzeu itself is reached. Despite heavy rains and soggy ground, the forces of the Teutonic allies all along the front in Rumania continue to make progress. The Rumanian attacks, which had held the invaders in the ploetchi region. now have been broken, according to Berlin. Several thousand additional Rumanians have been made prisoners.
 In the fighting in the eastern Car pathians and along the Moldavian front all the Russian attacks have been repulsed. says the Berlin war office.
 Considerable heavy fighting has again taken place in the Cerna river region of Serbia. Both the Berlin and Bulgarian war offices report the re pulse of strong entente allied attack in this sector, Berlin asserting thaJ the French and Serbians suffered san guinary losses. However, an advance of several hundred yards against the Teutonis allies west of Suhadol nor,h- west of MOnastir, is reported by the Serbian general staff, while the French otfcIal communication records the pushing fOTW ard of the entente line aDout soc meters, near Vlaklav.

COMPULSORY ARBITRATION.

The chief objection to the eighthour railroad law has been the onesidedness of it. The railroad brotherhoods may have deserved the benefits conferred they may according the way you happen to look at labor matters. There is really bigger question stake than the addition of many cents to days wages or the subtraction of many hours from days work in behalf of any limited group of wage-earners The sental thing is avoid fragmenary, partial opsded "class" legslate a statesmanke way the permanent benefit of an entire industry and whole nation.
 This the administration proposes to do. The Adamson law supplemented by other plan President Wilson submitted during the crisis near the close of the last The dominant this supplementary is compulsory arbitration for railroad labor disputes.
 There will be bitter fight over this proposal The unions strongly opposed to it They regard il as nullfying their basic righsshe right strike The president holds that while individual may be compelled by to stick job against his will the government has perfect right to forbid the deliberate prearranged stopping of work the part an organization of employed transpor tation
 The distinction clear. The supreme court will doubt have pass the matter eventually but law yers pretty well agreed that congress has power under constitution strikes by railroad unons least pending public inquiry and there is general agreement too that compel arbitration. It is understood course any antistrke law will the terms forbid the railroads '1cck out their employees.
 The brotherhoods should yield in this matter The railroads themselves ready yield the lockout proposition just they have yielded after another of their old rights until they almost plete public control They had yield because railroad corporation is affected with public interest railroad union which railroad labor corpora ton is likewise affected with a public interest It's in evtabe, in the of the industry.

BROOKLAND RESIDENCES
HAVE NOVEL FEATURES
Rug-Faced Hollow Tile Walls and
Slate Roofs Make Homes Prac-
tically Fireproof.

Use of rug-face hollow tile in home
construction is exemplified in an opera
ton consisting of six and eight room
residences nearing completion in the
Brookland section. The houses are all
detached and are built on ample gounds
near 7th and kearney streets northeast.
1t is claimed for this style of con-
struction that the houses are absolutely
dampproof and verminproof. Hollow tile
as wall material, it is claimed. makes the
homes easier to heat and to keep at an
even temperature in the winter, while
such homes are said to be much cooler
in summer than are those of which the
walls are solid, either brick or wooden
The Brookland homes contain open fire

heated by hot-water systems, are lighted
electrically, have gas connections, and

tubs, concrete porches. and all have slate
roofs which, with the hollow-tile walls,
makes them practically treproof. at the
same time greatly decreasing the cost of
