TWO MORE STORIES
CONSIDERED FOR
STATE, WAR, NAVY

Plans to add two additional stories
to the State, War and Navy building,
to help care for the war time over
flow, are under consideration today.
At the request of heads Of the
departments architects have made an
investigation and reported that the
foundations of the building. now five
stories high. are strong enough to
support q ten-story building.
Contractors have given assurance
that two stories can be added to the
building in four months time II the
Government will guarantees delivery
Of material.
Architects and contractors agree
that the building can be remodeled
without marring its architectural de-
sign or proportions.
It IS urged that adding 500 rooms
by an addition to the building would
permit the housing OF the more I'M
portant bureaus under one roof and
thereby centralize administration OF
the war.

are showing little concern over
the sufferings and privations OF
the German armies at the front,
according to the Munich Abend-

against German girls going to

that newspaper, was incapacitated

overnight
Washington people have generously
responded to appeals to open their

women who have come here since

nm rooms IN GENERAL use. This espe-
ciaily applies to the young men ana
women who have come here to accept
employment with the I overnment as
clerks and who found the problem OF
obtaining rooms and board growing
more DIFFICULT all the time. This class
Of people, however, is still being
cared for by the Young Mems Chris

Christian Association, and other or

more than 500.

hospitality persons of doubtful stand
ing in this city are. said to have
furnished their names as desiring to
entertain men in uniform In some
instances these names have gotten
into newspapers. Soldiers visiting
these places have several time report
ed to organized workers that the en-
tertainment was not of the sort the
Government and good people desire
them to have.
1t Is today recognized that there
must soon be some method Of vouch-

Americans who have been converted
