Swollen hands, ankles, feet are

BONDS SOUGHT
TO BUILD HOMES
Emergency Housing Associ-
alton Would Have District
Relieve Alley Tenants.

Issuance of $6,000,000 worth OF
bonds by the District government
to provide funds for the building
of homes to care for the tenants
OF alley houses, which will be dis
carded as residences under the
alley law on July /, was the plan
offered by Attorney David e. An
thony. attorney for the Emergency
Housing Association and accepted
by the association at a meeting
last night in the District Building.
The gist Of the plan presented by
Attorney Anthony is contained in
an extract from his report which
says: IAN act of Congress per-
mitting the issuance of $4,000, 900
of 4 per cent bonds. redeemable at
the end of twenty-five years. would
enable the District TO, construct at
least 5000 sanitary homes with the
proceeds of the bonds. and at an
annual rental of per cent of
their cost, after paying the inter-
est charge at 4 per cent per annum,
sinking fund could be created
which would retire the bonds at
the end of twenty-five years. 1t
Is perfectly safe to say that $3.50
per month per room rental would
rediize per cent per annum or
more on the cost. That feature OF
the proposition could be easily
proven"
The meeting moved to enact a
constitutional amendment enlarg-
ing the personnel of the board of
directors from twelve 70 twenty.
At the session of the--board, Mr..
Anthony suggested that private
capital in New York City would
be probably the most fertile field
for the financing Of the plan, al
though Washington interests should
not be overlooked. Plans, details
ana methods of Congressional
propaganda to secure the passage
OF an act authorizing the bond
issue. were discussed at the board
meeting. 1t is thought that the
colony of homes will be erected on
the outskirts of the city.

Because If we had rushed artillery
manufacture from April on we could
not have by now supplied sufficient

time we get-what we now think we
need, We will need more"
Senator wadsworth said he could
not understand the Secretary's s
statement that there were sufficient
supplies for initial rush needs, "
when there had been a shortage in
artillery and machine guns.
Our rush needs are satisfied -
said Mr.. Baker.
He puffed peacefully at his cigar,
showing no perturbation whatever
at the questions fired at him.
Senator Chamberlain mentioned
the shortage in various armament.
Il mean We have enough for the
men actually engaged in fighting, a."
said the Secretary.
You mean there's enough for the
men in France?" asked Senator
Mcclellan.
Yes"
Senator Weeks, Of Massachusetts,,
said the Secretary's statements
would mislead the country which
should not be ''lulled to sleep" by
general statement of facts that
do not all exist"
And 1 think" said Mr.. Weeks
very distinctly, that 1t. is advisable
that the people who are making
the sacrifices should have accurate
information"

PEACE IS fading

in no circumstances recede from
their refusal to move the negoti-
ations to- neutral soil. although
they are willing to apply the finish
ing touches and affixed signatures
at other places.
Doubt Sincerity.
Throughout their speeches the
Teuton foreign ministers took pains
to press home the point, You, not
we, asked for this conference"
DR.. Won Kushlmann even went SO
far as to cast implied doubts upon
the Russian sincerity. Both for
eign minister and Gen. Won Hoff-
man criticized sharply certain ut
terances. some of them of semi
official character disseminated by
Petrograd with regard to the con-
ference.
On the subject Of Misrepresentation
the Teuton negotiators had a good
deal to say.
Their whole argument against Stock
holm revolved around it. They assert
ed that at Stockholm the entente
would bend might and main to pre-
vent a separate peace and would
spread false reports of what was
going on at the Russo-Teuton confer
ences as had indeed been done. they
said, about the parleys at Brest-
Litovsk.
Also they argued that the direct
telegraph communication between the
present meeting place and the two
capitals facilitated matters greatly
Huehlmann laid stress on the impUi
tance of the atmosphere" which, in
his opinion, must surround a peace
conference.
Hopeful Yet.
Kuehlmann concluded his speecr
thus; II do NOT consider the difficult
ties now developed as great enough tO
make our peace efforts fail or to
force a resumption of war on the
Eastern front"
Considerable mystery attached tc
the sudden departure of Lenine from
Petrograd. The Russian premier was
semi-officially said to have gone to
Finland 'for a rest" There are
inklings in the dispatches, however
pointing to Stockholm as his rea
destination.

Scientific
Optimism

Some wit defined op-
timism as not caring what
happens Just so it doesn't
happen to me-"
That kind Of optimism
is not possible in the world
any more. Nor is the op-
timism which says peace,
peace when there is no
peace.
The ends Of the world
are too close to each other,
the universal problem is
too complex, all men are
too interdependent.
These very conditions
have made necessary a
great world newspaper
such as The Christian
Science Monitor.
From its own news
bureaus all over the world
to its subscribers in every
corner of the globe it tells
the news Of the great con-
hict, exposes the causes
and presents the remedy.
It has no doubt about
the result.
