Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, Dec. H.-Home from
planning broad guage war work, Admir-
al Benson and General Bliss, army and
navy chiefs, today felt that all the al
lies, including the United States, are
in the war, lock, stock and barrel and
will not turn back until victory is
achieved. Though they gathered a full
realization of the new menace from
strengthened Teuton forces on the west
front, it was manifest from their brief
expressions that the spirit of determin-
alton among all the fighters is such that
the Germans must ultimately yield.
They were particularly pleased at the
bulldog spirit shown by Americas men
on land and sea, and held it augured
well for the future.
Both men reported to their seeretar-
les briefly, however, that real speed IS
needed in sending more men and more
ships 'Eover there. They are scheduled
to have longer conferences with the see
retaries later and also viii discuss with
their leading subordinates problems pre-
sented by the recent allied conference.

BUILD BARRACKS CITY
TO HOLD EMPLOYEES
OF THE WAR BUREAU
Washington City Has Been
0VercrOwded by Rush
Caused by War
By George Martin,

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, Dec. IT, A barracks
city in the Patomac to house its large
and rapidly growing army Of civilian
war aides will be built by the Amer
lean government at once, it was learned
today.
Washington itself has crumpled un.
der the impact of sixty thousand war
emergency citizens. That number
probably will be doubled within six
months, as the inflow of men, women
and girls from throughout the coun-
try is constant. Without these bar
racks the situation would be unbear-
able.
The emergency workers already here
have overwhelmed the public and pri-
vate living conveniences of this city
of 100000 peace time souls.
The barracks for families and board.
ers will be erected under the direction
of the d. G. Commissioners and the
D. C. Council of National Defense. The
Council of National Defense and con
gTess win authorize its construction.
The public utilities breakdown un-
der the present added load has become
almost intolerable. Telephone service,
except through government offices, is
hopeless. The street ear systems groSa
and stagger very uncertainty along un-
der the unprecedented traffic.
Thousands of men, women and girls
walk long distances 10 work every day
rather than fight their way into the
cars. No new lines and cars are built
because of war shortage Of materials
and freight space.
There aren't enough houses. No
more can be built because contractors
cannot get materials or prices are too
high. Rents are prohibitive.
Real estate men are cleaning up.
One agent who raised the rent on the
house occupied by another agent said
to him:
Twelve been starving here for
four years. How we re going to get
what's coming to us; and you're no
exception"
Hotels are filled to overflowing all
the time, Boarding house profiteers
are reaping a golden harvest. Some Of
them open their homes under the guise
of patriotism, make much fuss about
f'never having done anything of the
kind before" and charge none too well
paid girls government workers $50 or
more a month for hall bedrooms and
hash. Dozens of girls have come here
from different parts Of the country
and promptly returned home when thew
learned that 70 IN and board would
cost them more than their jobs paid
them.
