U. S. TO
REBUILD
EUROPE

The song of the American ham,
mer and saw will lead the peace
chorus in Europe when the roar
of man-killing, home-destroying
guns cease IL plans of the United
States government and lumber
men are carried out!
Many a Tacoma manufactured
home will arise on smoking bat
tlefields.
Century-old villages on the
Somme. leveled by big guns, will
be replaced by knock down
houses, built in "a hours; the be-
sieged farmhouse at Falfemont,
where centimeters roar today, will
be rebuilt by American carpen-
tiers with American-made mate
rial.
The first definite step in con-
nection with this biggest building
contract ever entered into was
taken when representatives of the
federal trade commission con-
ferred with representative lumber
men of the country.
1t was decided to form a COM
mission of seven experts who will
sail Nov. for Europe to make a
study of social, economic and
commercial conditions in commun-
mites that have been blasted by
shells.
When peace comes to Eu-
rope the work of rehabilita-
ton must be done quickly.

America; whole communities
in France, SO the builders
say, Will be rebuilt with
houses shipped in crates from
Washington. Michigan or
Oregon. The face of North
ern France will wear an
American complexion.
But shipping "knock-down"
houses to Europe will not be the
only part of Americas work in
rebuilding the wastes of war.
With Italy striped by war of her
lumber supply, the lumber stores
of Spain exhausted by the demand
of warning nations and other ma
tions almost denuded of forests,
American lumber men will be
called upon to supply much of the
raw material for reconstruction.

lumber is beyond belief" says

lumber dealer.

powers, favor American lumber.

Newspaper enterprise AsSociusiV"y
NEW YORI., Sept. 1S.-Sons
and daughters of wealthy New
York families, some of them try
ing to climb the social ladder, will
be hit in New York's big vice in
vestigation, according to the dis
trict attorneys office!
I'VE will make revelations that
will shake New York to its roots"
said an official of the office to-
day.
Attaches of the office claim to
have evidence of the existence of
houses doing business under the
guise of clubs or masquerading as
private homes, and frequented by
sons and daughters of wealthy
parents.
In these houses, officials say,
there are rooms of utmost luxury
to lure the senses, suppers are
served in exquisite taste and all
the mechanics of luxurious entice-
ment make vice appear beautiful
and soft and easy.
The vice investigation,
which startled the whole
country by its sordid revela-
lions of white slavery, has
taken new turn, with the
new evidence, from the COM
mercialized tragedies Of the
East Side and the Tenderloin
to Fifth av. with debauchery
at its worst among men of
wealth, with sex run riot
among the daughters and
wives of some of New YOrk's
rich families and with black
mail bleeding the very souls
of ambitious society climb
ers.
1--WE are going to push this
thing through to the end without
respect to power or position,
either socially or financially"
says an official of the district at
torney's affice.
Visits to the luxuriously
equipped houses, officials say, are
followed by blackmail. The iden-
tity of girls, men and women who
visit the houses, is discovered and
both they an their parents are
blackmailed under threats of ex-
posture.
To those families whose social
position is not yet entirely secure,
this blackmail is a source of ter
ror and to the men and women
organized for the special purpose
of extorting money from such vic
Tins, a course of large revenue.
At present the most sensational
figure in this connection is Ru-
dolph Guglieimi, whose indict-
ment has been brought about by
the district attorneys office.

BRITISH NAVAL MAN ID QUIT
 GREECE

ATHENS. Greece. June r. - Cor respondence of the Associated Press) It is announced that Rear Admiral Hubert s. Cardale. the acting head of the British naval mission in Greece and at present the ranking officer of the Royal Hellenic navy on active ser vice. will soon relinquish his post and leave Greece. He has been one of the most prominent figures in Athens during the war. for in his dual capa- city as a Britisher and an admiral of the Greek navy, he has been a fac tor in quieting many of the internal dissensions in this country, which, ever since the war started has been the scene of a continual pulling and hauling of warning interests.
 One day Admiral Cardale has been called upon to pronounce for the Kings party" and again on the next day to speak for the Venizelists, the adherents of the popular statesman who desired to see Greece take up arms against the central powers. The admiral appears to have been a favor ite of both King Constantine and Veni- zelos. His relations with the royal family are of long standing. beginning with his service under the personal command of the then Crown Prince Constantine in the first Balkan war. Recently the king acted as godfather to the admirals son, naming the in- fant Constantine.
 On the outbreak of the European war in 1914 Admiral Cardale, securing leave from the Greek government took the squad of British naval gun ners in Serbia in hand. organized the British, French and Russian heavy ar tillery defenses of Belgrade, success fully mined the Danube and Sava, sunk a few Austrian monitors, wore the uniform of a Serbian colonel Of engineers for six months, received the order and star of the White Eagle of Serbia from the hands of King Peter himself and the Karageorge medal for personal bravery.

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY SAYS
 GLACIER RECEDES

WASHINGTON, June r. - The United States geological survey tells the following interesting story of how an Alaska glacier has "crawfished' four and a half miles in fifteen years:
 Fifteen years ago member of the United States geological survey map ped the front of the Barry glacier, which is in the northwest corner of Prince William Sound Alaska. In 1901 it was found that the front of the glacier had gone back about three miles from the position it occupied in 1899. B. L. Johnson, of the geological survey, examined the front of Barry glacier in the fall of 1914. and deter mined that the total retreat of the glacier between 1910 and 1914 ap' peared to be about S,200 feet, retreat of four and a half miles in fifteen years. A short account of the retreat of this glacier by Mir, Johnson has just been published as professional paper 9S-C. It includes a sketch map showing the position of the glacier front in seven different years and several reproductions of photographs of the glacier"

PEACE TO BRING NJ BUSINESS
 REVIVAL
HEADQUARTERS IN

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, June 10. - Correspond ence of the Associated Press.) - The idea that enormous quantities of ma terial will be immediately in demand to rebuild the destroyed sections of France and Belgium once peace comes seems mistaken.
 We shall not be able to buy many things until we have something to- sell which will bring us money to- buy with" said q citizen of Ypres, the most ruined of cities, and where the wreckage is still pounded by shells.
 No civilian inhabitants are allowed to live in the city; but an indication of how reconstruction will begin is evident in the shanties which have been built near the front, often in the zone of shell fire. Boards, dis carded oil cans beaten flat, salyaged tiles or bricks and any other kind of material that can be procured at no expense are used to make a shelter for a man and his family.
 When the refugee returns to his ruined village or town in the fighting zone his first object will be q roof over his head before he sets out to reclaim acres which have grown up to weeds and are pockmarked with shell holes; or, If he is in business, he will want any kind of temporary premises on the site of his old place of busi- ness-which he will occupy because it is his and because 1t is there that his old customers may expect to find him.
 The simple wooden houses which the army has built for rest camps" for the soldiers when out of the trenches, will become squatter settle ments. Only less amazing than the amount of material which the army will leave behind because it is not worth transporting back to England, will be the use the thrifty French and Belgians will make of 1t. For up to the very moment of peace. whether 1t comes this year or five years hence. the army must have ample material in reserve for continuing the war. Lumber, wooden supports for barb wire, timbering for the trenches and dugouts will be adapted to their ne cessities by impoverished people who, have suffered from the loss of prop erty and enforced idleness. Any funds they have saved will be needed for immediate capital to buy stocks of goods or farm implements and ami mals. It will probably be years be- fore the permanent buildings will take the place of temporary sheltese.
 The restoration of such splendid public buildings as the Cloth Hall at Ypres and the Hotel de Villa in Arras will come only when the civic pros perity will permit, usually an inden- lnity or a government grant is dt5tri- buted for the purposes. Even in that case the first practical use of money and labor will be to restore busn.nss to somethink like it's normal "IIc' tions.
