WOMAN WAR WORKERS
HOUSING MONEY ASKED
Fund Is Part Of Additional Appro-
priation Of 1875 Million Wanted
by Navy Department.

Including $1,490.oo0 for temporary
buildings in Washington, a requisi-
ton was made on Congress yesterday
by the Navy Department for an addi-
tional appropriation of $125.497, $50
for expenses during the remainder of
tho fiscal year 1919.
The proposed appropriation for
Washington is to be spent in build
ing houses for woman war workers,
who are to take the place of men who
are drafted and those sent into ac-
tive service. In transmitting the re-
quest Secretary Daniels says that the
women employed by the government
are suffering from the crowded con-
ditions which will become worse as
their number increases.
Chairman Frank Clark of the House
committee on public buildings and
grounds says his committee is work
ing on a new housing bill to carry
about $194.000,000, which will be
ready in a couple of days. He ex-
poets the bill, asked for by several
government departments and estab-
lishments engaged on war activities,
will be brought up in the House
next week.

NEED PREPAREDNESS FOR
WAR END, SAYS SENATOR
Mr.. Weeks Proposes a Committee
on Reconstruction to Deal
=.
With Great Problems.

Creation Of a special congressional
committee on er-the-war recon-
struction is proposed in a resolution
introduced yesterday by Senator
Weeks of Massachusetts,. Senator
Weeks declared the end of the war
might come sooner than many antici-
patio and the country should be pre-
pared with a program to meet the ex-
igencies that will come with the end
ing Of hostilities.
Unless the country takes advantage
of the present to provide for the fu-
ture it will be caught in the same con-
dition Of unpreparedness for peace as
1t was unprepared for war, Senator
Weeks said
-At the end Of the war" he declared,
fleet larger than that of any country
in the world. We have constructed
some of the greatest shipbuilding
plants in the world, and it is proba-
bly, safe to say that these plants will
have a capacity under after war con-
ditions sufficient to build and replace
the merchant fleets of the civilized
world. What are We going to do with
these shipyards?
What are we going to do with all
the manufacturing plants and other
establishments created for war pur-
poses, the machinery Of which may or
may not be available for after-war
production? What are we going to do
with the millions of war workers
now employed and who will find
themselves out of employment ut once
when peace has been declared? The
Eovernment must take some action to
protect these war workers"

W. N. Garland, Head Of National
Association, Tells Buffalo
Meeting of Work Here.

William NJ. Garland. president OF the
National Association Of Real Estate
Boards, who has been in this city for
several months assisting the govern
ment in appraising real estate for va
rious war activities. returned from
Philadelphia Wednesday. where he
attended a meeting of the Philadel-
phia Realty Board.
Mr.. Garland last week addressed the
Real Estate Association of New York
in Buffalo on the occasion of the an
nual meeting and told the members
of the many boards of the state what
the national association is accom-
plishing in Washington. He explained
that as an association all the realtors
have rendered to the government tho
services of all the members and SAID
that the government records would
prove that already hundreds of thou
sands of dollars have been saved
through these services, which are all
free to the government
In the New York state convention
Mr.. Garland announced that the New
York City Realty Board had Joined tho
National Association and this prao-
tically completes a thorough national

can get some one to translate it cor
rectly into his own. And I believe
that the leaders Of the governments
with which we are associated will
speak. as they have occasion. as plain
ly as I have tried to speak. I hope
that they will feel free to say wheth-
err they think that am in any de-
gree mistaken in my Interpretation
Of the issues involved or in my pur-
pose with regard to the means by
which a satisfactory settlement OF
those issues may be obtained. Unity
of purpose and Of counsel are as I'M
peratively necessary in this war as
was unity Of command in the battle
field; and with perfect unity Of Pur-
pose and counsel will come assurance
Of complete victory. 1t can be had in
no other way. Peace drives can De
effectively neutralized and silenced
only by showing that every victory OF
the nations associated against Ger
many brings the nations nearer the
sort of peace which will bring Sc
curity and reinsurance to all peoples
and make the recurrence OF another
such struggle of pitiless force ana
bloodshed forever impossible. ano
that nothing else can. Germany Is
constantly intimating the terms. she
will accept; and always finds that tne
world does not want terms. 1t wishes
the final triumph of justice and 1alr
dealing.

DECREASE IN BUILDING
MODERATE, IS REPORT
Figures From Principal Cities for
August-Showing for the
District.

Comparing the building permits. is
sued in the principal cities of the
United States during August with
those for the corresponding month
last year. the moderate decrease of 10
per cent is shown.
This decrease is the smallest that
has been recorded since April. 1917. or
since the country declared war. In a
sense. the showing is therefore en-
couraging, but for August last year
there was decline of SO per cent. as
compared with August. 1916. Making
comparisons with two years ago. the
shrinkage would be considerable.
Buildings Authorized in d. c.
The report shows the number Of
buildings authorized here last month
to be 422. at a valuation of $951,570,
as against 2s1 buildings. valued at
$1.03S.4 $50. in August of last year.
The general report concerning new
buildings is that little work. except
that which is clearly indispensable. is
now in progress or in early prospect.
There is. therefore. some basis for the
expectation that there can be little il
any additional curtailment of work
without serious impairment to the
present efficient war activities of the
country.

s41.764,4 0S. as compared with S46.-
192,116 for August 1917 a decreaae of
10 per cent. One new feature is the
increasing number of the larger cities
that are now showing gains. Chicago
and Philadelphia increase and the loss
in New York city was less than per
! per cent. Normally the larger cities
have moderate surplusage of avail
able space for emergencies. but this
safeguard against quick requirements

cities, the same as at the munition
and other war work centers
The tendency continues toward the

BULGAR|A'S PEACE
POSSIBLE At PRICE
Complete Surrender, With
All Chance for Trickery Re-
moved, the Terms.
ITS VALUE INESTIMABLE

If Bulgaria's responsible and consti-
tuted government is sincerely anxious
for peace with the allies it can be OBJ
tained-at price, the same being sepa-
ration from alliance with Germany and
Turkey and acquiescence in the reason
able terms to be fixed by the allies.
Such is the opinion in all circles here
that are interested, neutral embassies
and legations. as well as those of the
allies, military commissions and among
officials of this government.
There are several qualifications of this
broad statement, however. In the first
place, Bulgaria, it is said, must surren-
der her strategic positions to the con-
troll of the allies and place her army
where it cannot strike the allies in the
back at the behest of Germany in some
critical moment during the armistice
and negotiations.
Moreover, it must be understood that
in the final drawing up of the terms OF
peace there must be no secret trafhck
ing around the green table, with Ger
many given a chance to interpoSe trick
cry and deceit. In other words, Bulga-
ria must settle her fate with the allies
without regard to the interests of Ger
many.
q. S. Not at War With Bulgaria.
A dispatch from Paris states that
the United States will be consulted in
l.
garia, this. too, in spite Of the fact
that the United States and Bulgaria
technically are not at war. The Bull
garian legation in Washington is still
open.
In all quarters the hope is expressed
Ia government with which the allies
will feel authorized to deal, to quit
the war. The moral as well as mill
tary value of such an outcome is re-
garded as almost inestimable.
In the first place, it would leave
Turkey, now being hard pressed by
the British, in a still more dangerous
of making terms with the allies while
the season for negotiations is open
and promising.
In the second place, it would bring
moral pressure to bear upon the peo-
pie of Austria-Hungary to consider
tNc dQVlSdOIlCy Oh SeVeIluS alliance
with Germany on one hand and would
certainly encourage the discontinued
elements in that empire to further
efforts.
In the meantime. according to the un-
Outstanding and general belief here
there will be no cess3 ton of military
operations in Macedonia and no chance
of giving the hard-pressed Bulgarians d
breathing spell and time for Germany
to come to the rescue.

Despite the enormous expansion OF

said, it has not been possible to pro-

sWar has produced a community OF
interest among the allies and Amer

ness of each that all can be assured
of victory" he continued Team
work is essential among the nations
fighting the central powers. And that
such actually prevails is shown by
the fact that the military forces en-
gagged on the side Of America and the
allies are directed by a French gen
eral, while the navies opposed to Ger
many are directed by an English ad-
miral, and the diplomatic and moral
