The American Protective League
was called upon in a letter Tuesday
from Attorney General Gregory to
continue its cooperation with the
department of justice. 1t is espec-
tally asked to report illegal activi-
ties during the discussion of peace
terms.
II feel it my duty at the present
juncture," said the attorney general
Ito call upon the officers and mem
bers of the American Protective Lea
que to carry on steadfastly for the
present their most effective aid and
cooperation with the department
of Justice
The sudden end of hostilities, said
Mr.. Gregory, had the effect of slow
ing up patriotic work, which might
be productive of serious conse-
quences. The work of the league,
he said. had been a powerful factor
in winning the war and in stamping
out disloyalty. These services can
not as yet be dispensed with, said
Mr.. Gregory.
The National Protective League
was organized March %, 1917, and
now has a membership of 100000
and branch organizations in every
large city and town in the country.
Officers and men have served with
out pay and without rendering ex-
pense accounts.
The organization has conducted
upwards of 100000 Investigations
for the government.
In our district, the branch of the
A. p. l.. is composed of about twenty
five members.

those that were killed, their lot was
fortunate compared to that of the

president of the United States Hous-

MAYOR BEHRMAN WIRES
HOUSING CORPORATION
Developments May Take Place Later

Mayor IBehrman is always on the
lookout for Algiers' interests as is
shown by his early protest to the
Housing Corporation, regarding the
cancellation of their order to build
the fifty cottages as had been plan
ned.
Mayor Behrman sent the following
telegram on the 22nd:
t'rom:-Mayor Martin Behrman,
Mayor, New Orleans, La.
| To:-United States Housing Corpo-
ration, 613 G. Street, Northwest,
Washington, ID. C.
New Orleans, La, Nov. 18th, 1918.
Your local project engineer, Mr..
Billingsley, has brought to my at
tention, the fact of your Algiers
| housing development being held up
pending a further decision in the
matter now that war activities have
been terminated. You are no doubt
familiar with the fact that your de-
velopment in Algiers will supply
housing facilities that are as greatly
needed now as prior to the termi-
nation of the war. The United States
Government has millions of dollars
invested in the Naval Station and
without a doubt these facilities will
have to be used to a maximum for
some time to come. Under the
circumstances, l would urge that
you bear in mind this phase of the
local situation in your further con-
sideration of your intended local de-
velopment. AS We have already
evidenced, you can be assured of
our hearty cooperation in any work
you carry out in this district.
MARTIN BEHRMAN, Mayor.
The following message was re-
ceived in reply to this telegram:
''From:-Otton NJ. Eidlitz, Presi-
dent, United States Housing Cor
poration, Washington, ID. C.
To:-Hon. Martin Behrman, Mayor,
City of New Orleans:
Dear Sir
I'm view of the fact that the war
emergency is over, this Bureau is
not in position to continue the AL
giers housing development 1t does
not follow, however, that this may
not be taken up at a later date by
either our successors or some other
Government activity.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) OTTO NJ. EIDLITZ,
President
1T is encouraging to know that
the station will be kept busy for
many years building small vessels
and making repairs, and it is very
probable that the Housing Project
will go on later under some other
