many homes, however. with vacant
rooms that could be thrown open to war
warkers.
Mr.. Hege admitted that the influenza
epidemic probably has caused many
householders to decline to house an in
coming government clerk.
Officials of the registration service
said that many householders tell the
soldiers that they have vacant rooms,
but when visited later by the civilian
inspector they explain that they would
not take in stranger.
"For Men Only
Another condition which will handicap
the registration service in housing the
government employees who arrive before
the dornitories are completed is the
fact that scores of the vacant rooms
now available are marked ''for men
only" In view Of the fact that nearly
all of the incoming workers are women
these rooms are practically useless Mr..
Hege appealed today to these house
keepers to agree to take in women or
men.

SENATOR SAYS HALT
INCOMING WORKERS
Martin of Virginia Warns
Epidemic Here Should
Bring Orders.
"UNFAIR TO EMPLOYEES"
"UNFAIR TO EMPLOYEES

sTt is most unfortunate that the gov
eminent departments and bureaus
should continue to bring many new en-
ployes into Washington to increase their
forces while the epidemic Of influenza
continues said Senator Martin Of Vir-
ginia, democratic leader of the Senate
and chairman of the appropriation COM
mittee, today.
'It ought to be stopped. The city is
overcrowded today. and even if there
was no epidemic, do not know where
these new employees would find places to
stay when the comparatively few rooms
left to be rented are occupied. Ger
tainly orders should be issued not to
bring any more employees here while the
epidemic continues"
Senator Will Act.
Senator Martin said that he intended
to take the matter up with the highest
authorities and to see if he could not
get action to stop the inflow.
Senator Martin called up the white
House and found that the President
had gone to New York. He was told,
however, that an effort would be
made to reach the President in New
York, 30 that the matter might be
taken up with him Immediately and
that orders could be issued. if
the President deemed it wise. to stop
bringing additional employees OF the
departments into Washington at this
time.
Senator Martin also took the matter
up with Surgeon General Blue Of the
public health service. Senator Martin
said later that the surgeon general
agreed with him that the bringing of
new employees Of the government into
the District at this time should be
discontinued. The surgeon general
said that there were no facilities to
care for Them and that it ought to
be stopped.
Many of the other senator's feel as
does Senator Martin in regard to TINS
matter. They believe that with the
capital more crowded today than any
other city of the Union because of war
conditions. it is a great mistake, to
continue to add to the population and
increase the dangers OF infection and
spread of influenza.
They recalled that orders have been
camps to train for active service
abroad because of the influenza cpl
demic. If the situation in the coun-
try is SO serious as to prevent the en-
campment of these men the senators
feel that the Increases IN the forces
of the government departments might
well be delayed to prevent conditions
in the capital becoming worse.
Hardly Fair to Workers.
It was pointed out also that it is
hardly fair to the young men and
women themselves who are brought
here from homes in which they could be
given care and attention if they be-

The change in the Turkish ministry
is a clear evidence that Turkey Is
promptly to follow Bulgaria In de-
serting the German cause. The actual
desertion may be postponed for the
moment, pending the disclosure OF the
results achieved by the German peace
proposal. but even this delay Is
problematical. With Enver and Talaat
gone, the whole German edifice erected
inside Of constantinople has collapsed,

Cambria was not as badly damaged

Region Uttered With Dead.
Throughout the whole battle area
roads and fields are Uttered with dead
Germans. Occasionally there is the
body of a khaki-clad soldier who
reached his journeys end.

under it's great weight.

They are accompanied by explosions
as ammunition dumps go up. Occa-
sionally shells from British guns find
their target in the ammunition Of the
enemy. but more often the explosions
are set by the Germans themselves to
keep the material from falling into
the hands of the British, who, they
realize. soon will be at them if they do
not go quickly.
Germans Disorganized.
1t is quite apparent that the Ger
mans have no definite ideas at pres
ent of obtaining any order out of the
ragged remnants of their sma shed di-
visions. Almost every report from the
Iow-fying airmen, who themselves
have been severely furnishing the en-
envy today, is to the effect that the
roads leading eastward continue to
contain streams of confused, disor-
ganized Germans and their equip
ment.
There are no signs of the general
movement eastward coming to a halt.
The British seem everywhere to be
rolling back the enemy wherever they
have continued the attack.
The cold wind and drizzle of TODAY
reminded the fighters that winter is
fast approaching, and for that reason
it is doubtful if the victorious British
armies and the Americans co-operat-
ing with one of them. will pause as
though it was midsummer and many
more fighting days remained. All the
rear organizations are moving up as
