UNCLE SAM TOP|CK
EMPLOYEES IN D. c.
Local Folks Will Be Favored
Owing to Serious Housing
Problem Here.
SITUATION is VERY ACUTE

Faced with the evergrowing and Sc
rious problem of the proper housing Of
the thousands of new federal employees
who come to Washington to aid in war
time work, the government will solve the
problem by employing men and women
of the District of Columbia in prefer
enee to out of town clerical workers, as
far as this course may be practicable, it
was learned today.

Call Made for Clerks.

The Department of Labor today was
asked to furnish the government 1000
clerks. both men and women. and has
begun on the task. The new course
will be pursued with reference to Sc
curing these workers. and as many OF
them as possible will be secured from
the District of Columbia and nearby
states. These clerks will have to take
civil service examination. which will be
given to applicants as they appear. no
set dates for examination being fixed.
If the majority. or even large part,
of these clerks can be secured by the
employment of local people who already
are properly housed. the problem in the
District will be solved just that much,
it is stated. There is no attempt on the
part of those conversant with the situa-
tion to minimize or 'overplay" the seri-
BUSINESS of the local problem
But the situation is here and must
be faced. all concerned are aware Not
only are apartment houses, hotels and
rooming houses largely filled. but there
seems little hope now of residents of
the city opening their homes to board
ers this winter to any large degree.

To Retain Installment PAYMENTS,
Take Advantage of Rate.

The advantages of the second libertv
loan to investors. the District liberty
loan committee says. is direct appeal
to the hundreds of shareholders and
bondholderS in Washington, who, be-
cause of market conditions, have allow
ed their dividends and interest to nc
cumulate in banks and trust companies
for several years past. until total of
several millions of such money has ac-
cumulated. to take advantage of this
high-grade 4 per cent loan.
That they are planning to avail them
selves of the opportunity is indica ted
by the number of cash subscriptions
that are being received at the banks
and these purchases will go far toward
bringing up Washington's large quota
of $40, 200, 900 which is just double the
amount asked for at the f1otation of the
first liberty loan.
Difficult to Finance.
While the spirit is willing and people
will make a strong effort to aid in the
installment purchases. financial contii-
tions are such that many installment
huyers, who have made but four
months payments on their first pur-
chase, will find it difficult to finance
second subscr :ptions.
The first installment of the first lib
ertv loan bonds reached Washington
nortunity will be offered in n few DAYS
Tor the exchange of temporary receipts
for actual bonds.
The new As have the same convertible
features as the Sks. in the event OF
higher rate being paid on any future
bond issue during the war.

Germany to make peace Bolo Pasha

by French pacifists of various news
papers
Testimony adduced through Paven-
stedt and Hugo Schmidt disclosed, how
ever, that Bolo Pashas real purpose
was to obtain the French Journals on
behalf of Germany. This was to be ac-
complished through the transfer of
German gold from Berlin to Paris This
money could not go direct and to send

Won Bernstorf and then approximately

There is no evidence to show, Mr.
Lewis said, that any of this fund was
used in an effort TO corrupt American
journalists Apparently Bolo's only
purpose in coming 60 this country was
to arrange a channel for getting money
from Germany to France through the
aid of Won Bernstorf.

Situation Is Acute.

Although the National Capital has a
housing problem different from that
which confrones more Industrial c!:ies
of the country, the situation is acute
here, officials said. Scores of new clerks
in the federal service have found lodg-
ings with the greatest of difficulty, and
in some cases known to high govern
nent officials woman clerks have beer
forced to give up their positions be.
cause they were unable to find proper
accommodations here.
one woman from z. midwestern state
came to Washington to accept a thou
sand-dollar clerical position. but upon
arrival was unable to find accommoda-
tions. it is claimed, and so was forced
to return to her home in the west.
Two sisters from a state across the
Mississippi received wartime appoint
ments. came to Washington and hunted
for roomsS After many adventures
and trials-the sisters gave up in de-
spair and returned to their home out
west.

Increase in Laundry Patronage

The large increase in the population
of the city has led to a big business
on the part of the laundries, with a
consequent large employ of woman
helpers at good wages.
So the local housing problem is not
being solved by the opening of private
homes to roomerS. In the cases where
rooms are available high rates are be-
ing charged In some cases, it is
alleged. A case is cited of back
room for two being held a $50 a month.
One young woman clerk in the govern
ment service commutes from Baltimore
every day. and her lodging, boarding
and railroad expenses total about $40
every month. which Is a tremendous
slice out of her salary. Another wom-
an clerk sought thirty-four homes in
an effort to find a room and failed

Based on Wireless Order.

All payments here for the benefit of
Bolo were made on receipt OF orders in
wireless messages from the Berlin for
eign office. which concealed its identity
under the name William Foxley.'
Attorney General Lewis characterized
the plot as a gigantic financial camou-
fage." and he expressed surprise that
the conspiracy escaped detection.

carried out AT formal hearing yes

attorney general that they were inno-

Testimony that Bolo Pasha came to
America early in 1916 with representa-
tfons that Germany was ready for a
separate peace with France which
would be favorable to France was
given before Attorney General Lewis.
Adoiph Pavenstedt, for many years a
social intimate of Count Won Bernstorff
former German ambassador. testified
that Bolo Pasha told him he under

peace on the following grounds.

Domestic Help Scarce.

Shortage of domestic help will pre-
vent the women of the city oHening
their homes to newcomers. it became
apparent today.
Following the appeal of Commission
er Rrownlow last summer to the house,
holders of the city who had never
taken in boarders' to open their homes
for that purpose. 1t was hoped that the
housing problem for the hundreds Of new
clerks-especially for the woman clerks
who might come to Washington alone
would largely be solved.
But by reason of the shortage now
existing In domestics this hope has not
been realized. The demand by the gov
ernment for charwomen, and still more
charwomen, and the big demand from
local laundries for woman employees
have so cut into the supply of domes-
tics that those who might feel willing
to take in boarders as a wartime duty
are unable to carry out their patriotic
resolves.
While charwomen do not get wages
very much in excess of those paid do
mestics they do have more leisure time
during the day. and have Sundays
off" This latter is a big point with
them. it is declared. and has taken
away many domestics from private en-
ploy.

Big Waste of Money.

All this is a monumental waste Of
money. time and railroad service, all
now of the greatest Importance in
Americas conduct of the war. federal
officials say. These cases, though ex-
trcme, are typical OF the state OF at
fairs now existing here. it is stated:
Apartment houses are practically all
iilled, hotel accommodations are too
high for the average employe, house
rents are prohibitive, and rooming
houses are hard to find.
The employment of local men and
women in the government service in SO
far as practica BILE from now on would
tend to save money and time. and above
all help solve the housing problem, as
every District man or woman SO en-
ployed would already be properly
lodged. Thus by accepting local people
for government positions the number
of newcomers would be cut down, with
a consequent reliNf to the already
sorely taxed housing facilities of the
city.
