Awake. Householder

How MANY Washingtonians are of the fact
that the American public is being warned by the United
States government to stay away from the Capital at
the present time?
How many of them know that-despte the multitude
of new government positions opening-elgibe
candidates and ambitious young people frankly told
to stay away because of the high cost of living here
and because lodging and board difficult to obtain
We doubt If many Washington citizens appreciate
the harm that is being done the city by these reports
We doubt if they appreciate the acaeness of the pres
ent situation If they did beyond question they would
take steps to remedy it
II any Washington householder is puzzled as to how
he can "do his bit" in the present war let him open up
his home and take in boarder two-or, at least,
roomer In that way he she is not opening ave-
nue. for private profit they are doing public service
Demand for room and board has reached such in
tensty in this town that people almost fighting to
secure many of them discouraged at their wits
end hardly knowing what to do, and yet the majority
of the househoders here going about their usual busi
ness know nothing of this most extraordinary crisis
and would gladly open their homes workers if they
did.
Washington has long been known as paradise of
boarding houses; let it become still more paradise
let there be boarding houses, that not single
worker that comes here for the government need be
forced to leave Washington because Of the housing
problem
The women's committee of the Council of National
Defense has issued warning to young and inexpe-
renced girls and dependent women" as follows:
$50 many inquiries concerning governmental steno-
graphic work have that the committee is urg
ing the State and county chairmen to emphasize the
fact that the cost of living is high in Washington at
the present time, the city overcrowded that lodging
and board difficult to obtain and that therefore,
dependent woman should come to the city without Sc
curing in advance definite position and proper hous-
ing
Here is the character of propaganda that is going
1t is up to Washington to make it unnecessary.

my offer was based on a misunder- standing and as far as l can make out, Sir Edward Grey never took my offer into serious consideration. He never answered it. Instead he declared England had to defend Belgian neu- trality, which had to be violated by Germany on strategical grounds, news having been received that France was already preparing to enter Belgium and the king of the Belgians having refused my petition for a free passage under guarantee of his country's free dom. l am most grateful for the presi dents message.

war council. When l came to choice, only one course was mine.
 If the full story in regard to the Stockholm conferences must be told, in the national interest it should not be told now and 1 am content to join the list of eX ministers who are await ing the opportunity to state the full facts of their cases without prejudice to the national interests.
 "On my return from Russia, I pro- posed a visit to France, which was under consideration at a special meet ing of the war cabinet A hours before my leaving and which MT Lloyd George did not attend. It being the decision of the labor party that I should go, I wired the prime minister, informing of my position and I could make this comment, that the prime minister and his colleagues who issued a document to the press charging me with withholding information about the conference have been convicted before the house of intimating that the whole arrangements for the trip to Paris were made without their knowledge
 Premier Lloyd George interrupted Mir. Henderson at this point by saying:
 T would like to ask my honorable friend what he means by saying that he sent a wire to me at Paris stating his position Does he mean to Sug- gest that he wired me that a decision had been taken by the labor party ex- ecutive? The only message l received was one stating that he was coming to Paris with four Russian delegates There was nothing of the decision of the labor party"
 MT. Henderson insisted that his statement was in strict harmony with his position.
 Premier Lloyd George said that while efforts are being made to restore dis cipline in the Russian army, nothing could be more fatal than to hold a conference with the enemy when the first step toward restoring discipline would be to prevent fraternizing at the front. This is the conclusion ar rived at by the four allied govern mentS''
 MT. Lloyd George concluded:
 The four allied powers definitely have arrived at the conclusion that if terms of peace are to be discussed they must be made by the representatives of their nation. I am the last man to say anything derogatory of the power or influence of labor, but they are not the whole community

of at least four years and expenditure of S4OOOO, 100000. He said the bill was just the beginning of the taxes which must be levied but declared the future generation should pay the greatesr part of the cost as the present one will fur nish the men and supply them with the materials which will be necessary to crush German autocracy.
 Senator McCumber declared that the whole tax scheme contemplated per iod that will cover four years and that unless the war should end suddenly, the United States would have to eX- pend $40, 1000, ,000, 900 in that time. He said that America might have to put five million men in the field and he believed their support and sacrifice should be enough for this generation, adding that the war debt should be borne by our emancipated children" Asserting that $1,000,000,000 would have been enough to raise by taxation at this time, the senator said the balance should be paid out of the sale of bonds.
 Senator McCumber declared that business must not be unduly hampered or crippled, pointing out that business profits must not only furnish all taxes but the money to absorb the bonds.
 During the debate. Senator Reede made another attack upon Herbert c. Hoover, asserting that the food admin istrator's statement of his plan to con- trol wheat, flour and bread was the decree of a dictator.

 IN KANSAS CITY
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

KANSAS CITY, Aug 13-Prospects of federal intervention seemed the only chance tonight of an early settle ment of the street car strike here which has paralyzed transportation for six days. Louis F. Post assistant secretary of labor, telegraphed a wom ans club which requested federal ac- tion, that he had instructed Fred L. Ferck, a labor mediator, to come here from Indiana and offer his services to effect an agreement.
 The striking employees today reject ed overtures from the company based on the "opeh shop" They demand recognition of the Amalgamated As sociation of Street and Electrical Rail- way Employes of America.
 County authorities demanded the removal of six hundred strikebreakers marOoned on a special train at Selsa Mo. fourteen miles from Kansas City after having been forcibly deported from here by sympathizers with the strikers It was said the men were pillaging the surrounding country to assuage appetities of AS hours growth The street car company promised that the men would be returned to their homes in New York, Philadelphia, Chi cago and other eastern cities.

 This, perhaps. is neither the time DOT the place for a detailed exposition of the plan and hopes which have in- spired our mission" he said. Tt is sufficient that you see in our presence here this afternoon Japans pledge of loyalty to the principles for which America has thrown down the gage of battle.
 We shall proceed to Washington, carrying to your great president and the American people message of fra ternity, confidence and cheer It is our ambition-if that were necessary-to impress once more upon the American people the solemn fact that Japan stands with you, heart and soul in your lofty purpose to make this world the abiding place of liberty, justice and fair play.
 Tn this crisis of the worlds affairs we are proud to call ourselves the al lies of the great American republic and we are honored by your trust and good will
 q can only add that this splendid demonstration at the very moment of placing our foot upon your hospitable shores, fills our hearts with gratitude, and inspires every member of this com mission with the conviction that the objects of our visits to America are al ready guaranteed"

POLICEMAN SAYS
 BOOTLECGER MADE
 MISTAKE IF LIFE

Two arrests made late last night by Night Captain of Police and Policemen Strathy and Culp, are expected by the police to lead to uncovering extensive bootlegging operations in this city, In one instance. according to Policeman Strathy, one of the arrested men made the mistake of his life when he mistook him for a customer" and delivered two bottles of perfectly good red liquor into his possession.
 J. l.. Mclaughlin who lives on Grand avenue is the man whom Strathy says delivered the whisky to him. Strathy and Carr and Culp had 'trailed" Me Laughlins automobile to a point on Seventeenth avenue, near, the McDoW- ell Road. Mclaughlin had passenger and this passenger, the police sus- pected, was a customer. Mclaughlin left his passenger in the car while he is alleged to have gone for the liquor During his absence. the passenger was removed from the car, his hat was ap- propriated by Strathy who then seated himself in the machine and awaited the return of Mclaughlin.
 Did you make it?" inquired Strathy when Mclaughlin returned.
 You bet I did, Mclaughlin is sal- legged to have replied, as he slipped two bottles of liquor into Strathy's hands. An instant later he realized his mistake and said so. He was taken to the county jail and locked up for the night.
 Earlier in the night the police visited the home of B. A. Gardiner on the McDowell Road and found a large quantity of liquor. Gardiner was ar rested for investigation and will prob ably face a charge of having liquor in hi spossession if no more serious charge is lodged against him. The po-
