HOMES TO BE RENTED
BY joint Agency.
Brokers to Cooperate with District
Council of Defense.

Taking the work out Of house hunt
ing is what the Real Estate Brokers
Association Of the District proposed
yesterday to the Council Of National
Defense as one effective method Of
solving the housing problem for WASH
ington's constantly increasing popu-
lation.
Under the plan, which has been sc-
cepted, q central headquarters will be
located in the Liberty Loan bank
building on New York avenue.
In the headquarters the LIS real es-
tate Offices Of the city will list ali
their vacant houses. apartments and
rooms. II will thus be possible for
those seeking houses TO get at once q
list of houses he deems desirable and
when he has made his decision, he
may rent through the broker who has
listed II.
BY this method women and heads
OF families will be spared the trouble
of going from office to office.
The clerical and office expense will
be borne by the brokers' association.
with the District Council of National
Defense contributing the offices.

Coal production can be increased to

derstood to have told the President,
that with the installation Of proper
economy methods in the use Of fuel,
the supply and demand can be
brought to a line, IL adequate trans

In other words, car shortage is the
main thing to be dealt with in fur
nishing the nation the coal IL needs.
Steps have been taken to remedy this
as far as is possible without definite
and complete control by the govern
ment of all railroad trackage and
equipment. The roads are cooper
ating in this work. But a large
amount Of equipment which might be
used for coal carrying-cars designed
for other carrying which go through
the coal fields empty-could be en-
ployed under a centralized operation.
The question Of still further mobil-

1t is believed. by the "super-counciI

recommendations OF this body will be

at q war charity bazaar that be-
tween Nov. I and Nov. Is, thirty
nine German submarines had been

comment OF Secretary OF the Navy
Daniels last night on the announce
ment of British officials in New
York that 80 German Submarines
had been sunk between November
l and Is.
sGratIfyIng., Says Daniels.
Most Gratifying" was the Sec
retary's first comment, when he was
informed OF the statement made by
T B. Hohler. of the British EN-
bassy, in New York.
Mr.. Daniels declared that the
Navy Department had received no
reports from Vice-Admiral Sims or
any other source to indicate that SO
large a number Of U-ooats had been
destroyed in the period named.
1T would be wrong" he added to
his first enthusiastic comment. ito
say that the submarine is no longer
a menace. 1t will be a menace as
long as ships are sunk. But inroads
arc being made which is making {,
less and less of a peril"
The British embassy had no de-
tails to add to Mr.. Hohler's state
ment-
The announcement must not be
construed as coming officially from

stated. 1T is on the responsibility

that they were making history with

over which posterity would pore with
such patriotic pride.
They were-both he and they-simply

their projects and wise theories but as
a latent heat, concealed in their prin-

palpable in the worlds cooling ages

scious greatness of their simple fidel-
ity to God--the divine instinct of good
