What German Menace Means To Us

A great many Americans have
not yet grasped TIE vast menace
a triumphant Germany would be
to Amer'c future.
Ask one Of tn Sc What would
happen if England and France
had TO sue for peace before VIC
could bring our tremendous roy.
or TO bear ard h would probably
answer:
"Oh. I guess the English and
French would hi We TO give UP
some land and money 70 Ger.
many Then peace would come
and this country would SO on
very much as before. "
Never was thera a more mis-
taken notion 1t will never be
possible for us to 60 on as before
until Germany is thoroly beaten.
until the notion has been shot
out of her that SIZE can rule the
world.
Let Germany Nin this war,
and at no distance date we shall
have to come to grips with her
in an Armageddon worse than
this one.
After a breathing space. she
will prepare for war once more
With Austria, Bulgaria and Tur
key unier her thumb she vii
have more men. more rescourse:
than before.
she will have vast stores of al
things needful. so she col'd not
be starved or blockaded Anc
she will have her eye especially
upon us.

Home building operations in many
sections of the city proper and outlying
sections of the District continue IN
volume practically equal to that of the
last few years, in spite Of the unsettled
conditions due to the country's en-
trance into the war Even the greatly
advanced cost of building materials of
all kinds, as well as increased labor
cost, has not initiated against such
operations. and builders and realty op-
orators say the sales of residence prop
critics and the purchase of new homes
indicate little timidty on the part of
the home-buying public.
Small Homes in Demand.
The larger proportion of home prop
critics being bought is of the six to
eight room type. of which prices range
from around $4,000 upward. Two op-
erations of this class are in the upper
