The News-Times is in receipt of
an interesting letter from Altha O.
Brain, a young Mishawaka woman
who recently went to washington
to accept a position from the gov
eminent. In it she tells of the ex-
perience of young women who seek
TO cultivate the larger sphere of
city life. In the course of the com
munication she asks that The News

Washington is crowded 10 ca
pacity now and hundreds are still
coming each week. The population
has increased 10000 the past year
with no adequate preparation made
for their housing.

cate a good room, and indeed
might have been looking yet, had
not the Y. W. c. A. assisted me in
my search. Both the Y. NJ. and Y.

line. People could not find a loca-

CAUCUS CALLED by DEMOCRATS
HOUSE LEADERS SET APRIL
II As DATE FOR coz
FERENCE

Washington, March lS-Another
series of conferences among Demo-
cratic House leaders today resulted in
a call for caucus here on April II
four days before the opening of the
special session, to line up Democratic
members for the speakership fight
The Republicans will caucus April IA
and the five Independents who will
hold the balance of power between the
two big parties will confer about the
same time in further effort to agree
on some concerted action.
Democratic Leader Kitchin talked
,ver the situation for three hours with
Speaker Clark, The caucus call sent
out afterward contained an urgent re-
quest that every Democratic repre-
sentative be present. The Republican
'eaders decided to hold a conference
IN April 5, and will undertake then to
swing Republican members into line
and clear away preliminaries for their
caucus. There still is much talk of a
bipartisan House organization, but
Mr.. kitchn said today he did not ex-
Hect such plan to materialze.
Both Speaker Clark and Republican
Leader Mann, who will be the candi-
lates for the speakership, are taking
particular pains to avoid any appear
ance of sharp practices among their
followers in the contest. Yesterday
Mr.. Mann urged Governor Whitman, of
New York, to call special election to
fill the vacancy in the Democratic
Fifteenth district of that state, and to-
lay Speaker Clark telegraphed Sena-
tor Hollis, of New Hampshire, asking
he state legislature to amend the
laws so an election could be held be-

VAST INCREASE IN
N. Y. EVICTIONS

AS against the tbs disposses no.
tees issued in the second municipal
district in the month of July there
were $50 issued in the month of
August.
For 531 dispossessions issued in
the 7th municipal district for Au-
gust there were SAB issued in Sep
TENDER.
What do these facts and figures
indicate?
When John J. Dietz, clerk of the
7th district, was asked whether the
jump could be ascribed to the raise
in rents, he answered.:
"That has been one of the causes.
Another has been the war. Sol
diers leaving for the camps have
compelled families to rcadjust their
whole lives. A lull in the families
finances occurred, then the families
were compelled to move to smaller
quarters. Fifteen hundred evictions
in one month in two districts out

MAY SEIZE BOYS
OF IS FOR ARMY

Observation-Disclosures of the
war department for the amendments
to the draft act proposed by Rep
resentative julius Kahn of Califor-
MIA, father of the present law, was
indicated today. This support APP
plies, however, only to certain pro-
visions of the amendments.
Representative Kahn proposes to
make the draft apply to men from
Is to 40, instead of 81 to 81, as at
present. Secretary of War Baker
disapproved the proposition of ap-
plying CONSUMPTION to the older men,
but declared himself in favor of MAX
ing it apply to youths between Is
and Fl.
The ideal age limits for elgibles,
he declared, would be 10 to 26, but
it is impossible to make the
amendments retroactive, so the law
will continue to apply to men up to
the age of 81. Efforts will be
made at the coming session of Con-
gress to make youths of 10, 10 and
20, swell as those who have at
tanned the age of FL since the June
5 registration, eligible to draft.
81 have believed all along that
boys of 10 at least should be sub
ject to draft" said Secretary Baker
today. "At that age they are
physically developed enough to make
good soldiers, and they have not
assumed any of those responsible
ties which make the drafting of old
er men disturbance economically
throughout the nation"
With these proposals already UNI
der way to extend the operation Of
the draft act, the war department
was proceeding rapidly today in the
direction Of a second draft of the
increment already selected.

GAINS $50 PER CENT
MADE IN ONE YEAR

BUFFALO,. - Campaigning on a
platform of "Peace and Democracy"
the Socialist candidates for mayor
and commissioner at yesterdays
primary election polled a vote $50
per cent greater than that received
by the Socialist candidates last year.
The vote in 1916 was 2,7OO.
Franklin P. Brill, the Socialist
candidate for mayor, although ap-
parently defeated, ran a close third
to Mayor Thurman, Democrat, and
George S. Buck, Republican. The
two latter thus become nominees at
the November election.
The vote for the three leading
candidates stood:
Thurman, 18,414; Buch, 1896,
and Brill, 14,341.
These are unofficial figures, and
are subject to change at the Of
ficial count.
An error of 1000 votes in favor of
the Socialist candidate already has
been discovered. A recount will
be demanded
The evening papers concede the
election in November of at least sew
en- Socialist members of the county
board of supervisors and three mem
berS of the New York state IegiSla-
ture.
