IStaf Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The ad-
ministration. il became known to-day,
has appointed Mrs. Norman de L.
Whitehouse. Of New York. for a spe-
cial mission to Switzerland to direct
educational work in that country, and
she will leave soon for Europe. Mrs.
Whitehouse will work under the direc-
ton Of the Committee on Public In
formation in an effort 20 place Amer
ica's position in the great war square
~ before the Swiss public. in this
manner it is hoped that the far-reaeh-
ing influence of her work will reach
the people Of the Central Powers.
Publicity, the government feels, has
not been given sufficiently in Europe
as regards Americas cause, and the
sending of Mrs. Whitehousc abroad is
only the beginning OF n general cam
paign along that line. Her duties will

Because Of her great success IN

Building in Manhattan
Shows Big Decrease
Only 1853 Buildings Projected
This Year, to Cost
S29.2l4,200

Tho Manhattan building record FOR
1917 is the lowest, both as 20 number
and cost. in twenty-five years \ tabu-
lation OF the plans fled from January ]
20 yesterday showed that only 1858
buildings had been projected in the
year. the estimated cost being 500
200. Compared with 1916 this is a de-
crease Of 2ll in number Of buildings
projected and S7s,643.945 in cost.
This contrast is due partly 70 the fact
that many owners had buildings
planned for their sites in 1916 so that
.hcir properties would not be affected
by the heights and districting law
which went into eTec: last July. Many
OF those proposed structures, which
helped 10 make 1916 look like a roscate
building year. arc still on paper only,
and will remain so. for all new bui ID
iugs must be put up according TO the
new law. Expert, blame the war tor
the uufavorablc conditions for build
Jug.
The largest number Of buildings ever
projected for Manhattan 30 one. year
was in 1899 the record was 1884 build
ings al a cost Of l29.250.376, within a
few million of the high record cost
Just ten years later Sl31, 246,4S3 was
expended for new buildings in Manhst-
tan, which still stands as the record for

Defence Society Acts
To Curb Sedition

The National Defence Society has
undertaken n campaign 20 obtain the
more effective enforcement of the cs-
piouare act throughout the country. In
a detailed statement. issued yesterday,
the society declared that at present
the act was far from being effective.
A. the same time, it was added. need
of its enforcement was never more ap-
parent.
In announcing the present campaign
the organization calls attention TO tho
fact that none of the provisions Of tho
bill adequately meet the question Of
seditious propaganda, either spoken or
written. The primary reason for this,
IL was explained, is that II is neces-
sary to prove the literal falsity Of the
reports or statements quite apart from
their tenor or influence.
1--WE ought TO have an effective law.
and il should be vigorously enforced"
said Henry c. Quinby, chairman of the
executive committee of the organiza-
ton.

Among the contributions that have
come to The Argus Santa Claus fund
in the last several days is one from
the Rock Island Turner society,
another from Camp 80. IL. W. A, and
another from Siboney Bay camp IT, s.
W. ", together with sums of money
from individuals. Notwithstanding the
fact that there has been very little
solicitation for funds this year with
which to provide Christmas for the
little folks of the city, there has been
a fine feeling manifest by people all
over the city who have voluntarily sent
| In their donations. This has been a
source of real satisfaction to the com
mittee in charge and points to the fact
that its loyal supporters recognize
! the fund as an established Institution
4 that has accomplished great amount
of good in the ely years since its or
/ ganization. The list OF children is not
as large this year as last because of
the fact that the parents have been
| better able to procure work at a good
wage than In other years. The list
nevertheless still contains several hun
dred names of children who unless
taken care Of by The Argus fund, will
have very unhappy Christmas and
/ bitter disappointments.
