HOUSES A! A PRE- MUM
v AR INCREASES THE DEMAND
IN BAY CITY.
Ali Kinds of Apartments There Are
Being Greatly Sought
After.
(By Associated Press)

San Francisco, Aug THE de-
n.and in this city for flats and apart
|ments has steadily been increasing,
due to the war and the resulting hign
prices of foodstuffs. Apartmentown-
ors account for this by reason of the
fact that persons who have been liv-
ing in hotels and eating their meals
y restaurants find they can live more
economically where they can do light
housekeeping.
The apartment with the kitchenette
is being sought, as it provides the
facilities for preparing the relatively
easily prepared ham and eggs and
coffee for breakfast ana the light noon
luncheon. With two meals thus pro-
vided for, the restaurant may still con-
tinue to retain trade of those who do
not care to enter into all the details
Of cooking a regular dinner at night
The experience of those in search
OF apartments at a moderate rental
confirms this view. While there are
plenty of more eXper Sive establish
ments to be found, the less costly
quarters rapidly are being occupied
I'd the hunt for home has assumed
the propositions of aconsiderable task.

London, Aug. Admiral Sir Cecil

Sir Roslynn Wemyss. Allen Garrett
Anderson, formerly vice chairman OF
the wheat commission. succeeds Sir
Eric Campbell Geddes IS first lord OF
the admiralty and controller OF naval
construction. The changes in the ad-
nliralty are taken to mean the first
step in the reorganization which it is
supposed Sir Eric is appointed to car

unsatisfactory, the present step is
denounced as "procrastinatory half

ENROLLING EVERY MAN.
New Zealand Will Set Pace for Listing
of Eligible Men.

Wellington, N. g., Aug, THE
New Zealand police hereafter Will en-
force that section OF the New Zea-
land military service law which aims
at the enrolment of every man OF NIL
itary age in the Dominion in the eX-
peditionary force reserve. Policemen
may accost citizens ard make lnqul-
ries accordingly. Eligible men not
enrolled will be liable to fine OF
$3.50 or to three months lmprlson-
ment. 1t is hoped by this step not
Only to insure that the name OF every
fit man is on the roll, but to dete"l
men who have failed 70 comply with

rot in military uniform will have to
have either an enrolment certificat.
or a 'leave pass" showing that he
has been medically rejected. 1t is en-
rected that the powers thus given tne
police will lead to many Incidents.
Another change under the military
service act which took effect this
month is relative to the classification
OF the men of the second reserve di-
vision-the married men. Originally
this division was to have been classi-
fed according to the mems dependents
tut lately the government decided that
tire basis shall be children only. Thus
married men without children will be
called up first, those with one child
next. and so on. Married men with
out children are estimated to number
about $4,000. The first of the mar.
ried men will be drafted in September
