Crowds Not Surprisingly Large.

Is it permissible to whisper what

to Washington since the war began.
Several explanations come to mind.
One is that Christmas buying has been

HOUSING Of CLERKS
GROWING PROBLEM
Fears That Situation Will Be-
come Worse After Christ
mas Holidays.
APPEAL TO HOME OWNERS

Fear was expressed today by Will
liam II. Baldwin, chairman of the Dis
trict council of defense. that the hous-
ing problem viii grow more acute
after the Christmas holidays. when il
is expected many clerks who have come
here in the past few months to work
for the government will endeavor to
bring their families here to live with
them.
Mr. Baldwin renewed his appeal to
the housekeepers of the city to rent
any available rooms in their homes to
the strangers coming here. While ne
feels that before many months have
passed it will be necessary for the gov
eminent to erect some quarters. he
pointed out today that the residents
of the city can reduce this necessity
by taking the war worker into the idle
rooms in their homes.

There Should Be Cooperation.

Members Of the council said today
that the men and women who are
coming here to do the governments
work must also cooperate in meeting
the housing situation by being less
particular about what part OF the city
they viii go to.
The council now has number of
rooms available, which have been
turned down becauses they are fifteen
or twenty minutes distant on a street
car from the downtown section.
Mr.. Baldwin cited the case of one
young woman. who did not want TO
take room near Vermont avenue and
Q street because 1T was SO far from
the Treasury.
Announcement by the Young Wo-
mems Christian Association that it re-
ceives an average of fifty-six appli-
cations day from young women for
rooms gives some idea of the conges-
ton which soon will exist in the city
unless people heed the appeal Of the

GERMAN SOCIALIST
Predicts VICTORY

many Will Win Without Success
Of Submarine Campaign.

Stockholm, March ~, via London
Dr. Albert O. w. Suedekum, one of
the best known leaders of the ma
jority Socialists in the reichstag, in
an interview here with the CORE
spondent of the Associated Press, said
that whoever thought the submarine
warfare was going to drive England
to starvation in six months was de-
ceiving himself. He added, however,
that such result was not necessary
for German victory, which, he declar-
ed, was certain.
In regard to the split in the Social
list party, DR.. Suedekum said:
'The small minority which broke
away from the old party is merely a
sort of safety valve for blowing off
the pressure of discomfort. There is
bound to be certain number of dis
gruntled individuals and malcontents
in every party, even in normal times,
and naturally much more in time of
war. l predict these divisions will
disappear with the coming of peace"
DR.. Suedekum is regarded as an ex-
pert on municipal problems and is
we'll known in the United States,
where he delivered series of lectures
in 1910.

Paterson. N. Miss Barbara Bour-
hill, a, pretty 20-year-old worker in a
silk mill here, is in receipt of pro-
posal of marriage as result OF her
winning out over 100 competitors for
the distinction of being local solist'
at the annual Paterson Musical Fes-
tival.
A week after her triumph in the
singing competition came letter from
the Rev. Lawrence A. Clay of Hatties-
burg, Miss, proposing that Barbara
Bourhill should become Mrs. Clay.
AS evidence of his earnestness the
reverend gentlemen forwarded his
proposal through the medium of the
Rev. Dr.. William A. Waldo, pastor OF
the church in which Miss Bourhill is
soloist.
Mr.. Clay, in a five-page letter, de-
scribes himself as descendant OF
Henry Clay graduate of Presby-
terrain seminary and the owner OF a
$4,000 parsonage in one of the most
beautiful spots in the South.
II read of your wonderful voice,
he wrote, "and the thought came that
you could upbuild my charge and
could give more than others. l love
music and my congregation would
surely be greatly benefited if you
would come"
But. although she is greatly pleased
and means to write Mr.. Clay a nice
letter of thanks Barbara Bourhill is
not going to think of marriage, she
says-not for long time.

that consequently, We were all

IN previous military operations in
the United States,'' he continued,
there had been no organized effort

the report of the chief of the militia
bureau on the mobilization of 1916,
which seems also to have been the
target for much hostile criticism and
Misunderstanding.
"The truth alone serves and the
statistics therein given may prove
valuable if studied in the proper
spirit. That mobilization and those
statistics together give more valuable
military information for the good of
the nation and acquired without the
effusion of blood, than could have
been gotten in any other way.
more careful editing or some of the
reports would have been better, but
we are all human and the compiling
was done under high pressure so as
to have it available for prompt use.
"The material benefits of the mob
ilization and the training are beyond
valuation. The national guard which
has been to the border has received
more actual benefit than could have
been gotten in many years of train
ing under normal national condi-
tions."
