WAR INCREASES
POPULATION OF
CAPITAL CITY

Washington, Nov. 22.-The popula-
ton of the city of Washington has
increased at least $4,000 since the war
began. 1t is natural that the capital
city, the center of governmental ac-
tivities should show this marked eff
feet of the most extensive prepare
ton for war ever undertaken by any
country. A steady stream of new
appointees to the great civilian army
pours into the city; the streets hum
with activity; everybody is busy and
earnest; on every hand are the sure
signs of q competent organization
with fixed purpose.
At the request of the United States
Civil Service Commission the Wash
ington Chamber of Commerce has un-
dertaken the work of directing to
suitable rooming and boarding places
the new arrivals who are not &C.
quainted in the city. Hundreds Of de-
sirable rooms, with or without board
are listed and at very moderate rates
Application for accommodations car
be made by new appointees through
correspondence before leaving home
or by calling at the office of the
Washington Chamber of Commerce
No. GIL Twelfth street, N. W., upon
their arrival in Washington.
Stenographers and typewriters
make up a large part of the additions
to the force at Washington. Thou
sands have been appointed and thou
sands more are needed. Ship drafts
men for the Navy Department, me-
chanical craftsmen for the service
generally, and statisticians and what
are known as clerks qualified in bust
ness administration, clerks qualified
in statistics or accounting, index and
catalogue clerks, balance of stores
clerks and schedule clerks for the
Ordnance Department of the army
are also in great demand. Repre-
scntatives Of the United States Civil
Service Commission at the postoffices
in all cities are furnishing detailed
information concerning positions at
Washington in, which workers are
needed.

versations with me upon this subject,
especially those during the last Leg
lslature when, as you put it, 81 was
guest at your home," lead me to
finally consent to be attorney gen.
eral for the reasons then stated and
as stated to you in my letter of the
18th of August, and also personally
to you on the 22nd of August. Of
course, you know I care nothing about
the appointment. Whether l would
have accepted or not is not expressed,
because, as / stated to you, any ex-

preceded by a voluntary expression
from you. The appointment is in
