population earlier than Harrisburg,
because of the great impetus given
local industries by the war very
early in the conflict.
The first step was to interest local
industries through the Chamber of
Commerce in the financing of the
cost of a housing survey, with an
authority to make an address on
the subject before the members of
the chamber and others interested.
The survey was made under the di-
Iection of the Chamber of Com
merce by unquestioned experts.
Managers of industries at once
saw the importance of the step and
gave every assistance to the investi
gators in their work, making full
and complete reports to the cham
ber on special blanks prepared for
the purpose and otherwise aiding
in the gathering of necessary ma
terial.
The Second Step
The findings verified what those
in charge of the survey already
knew-that the city was in bad
way for houses and that it must
meet the demand if it's war indus
tries were to continue to prosper
and If it was to grow after the war.
here and there was found a person
who did not understand the neces-
sity and fought shy of advertising
Sharon as a town of no homes"
These thought that industries would
be kept away by housing cam
paign, but it was soon shown that
the man looking for a location for
= branch house or shipping station
no longer grabs the first site Of
fered, but goes thoroughly into the
whole situation and goes no place
where housing conditions are not
good, for labor is too scarce and too
well paid to remain long at a place
where the workman and his family
cannot be properly housed.
The second step, after the need
had been shown, was to place the
survey data at the disposal of the
public and to form a company to
finance and build houses to rent, the
financing of this project to be done
by the parties most interested with
the moral and active support of the
Chamber of Commerce.
The third step was to place a full
report of what had been done, to-
eether with complete data, before
the Housing Bureau of the Depart
ment of Labor in Washington, with
a request for aid from this depart
ment, 1t having been shown that
the war was largely responsible for
the scarcity of houses. that local
builders hesitated to put UP houses
at present prices and at the risk of
violating the Governments own re-
strictions against building. In order
to avoid any criticism the chamber
was guided in the selection of a de-
velopment site by the advice of the
city planner of the National Bureau
of Housing, which also granted aid
necessary to the lifting of all en-
bargoes on building materials and
whatsoever assistance was necessary
to aid the Government and others
building In the locality.
This in rough way was the man.

LEAVE JAP QUESTION TO U. s

/. inn Policy in Siberia.
washington, March 2.-The en-
.tente has put the question of Japan
csc action in Siberia squarely up to
the United States. From military
point of view the United States is
eager to have japan assume the pro-
lection of Vladivostok, with its trea-
sure trove of supplies, and other
points in eastern Siberia.
Politically, however, it is indicat-
ed that President Wilson is not yet
convinced of the wisdom Of the al
lied interference in Siberia.
The whole question hinges upon the
possibility of recognizing a Russian
government, so that operations in
the far East can be carried on with
it's approval. Lacking any authority
in Petrograd recognized by the en-
tente, it is feared that to permit en-

Sixty Million People Suffering
in Germany and Many Are
Dying Because Of the
Food Shortage.
KAISER rs DENOUNCED
Dungeons Are overcrowded With
Poor Civilians Who Criticize
Their Ruler for
Conditions.

[United Press Leased Wire 6ervice.J ]
AMSTERDAM, Jan. 10.-What was
uncertain last year has now become
bitter reality. 1t cannot longer be de-
MED that people are starving by the
hundreds in Germany.
This statement was made today to
the correspondent Of the London Daily
n.xpress by a Dutchman who has just
spent five weeks travelling through
Germany.
Leaflets are In circulation all over
Germany containing the following ex--
| tracts from a recently suppressed
number Of voerwaerts:
Many people are dying from sheer
hunger. Sixty million people are SUI
fering. They will not always remain
silent. Germany is on the verge or
catastrophe worse than Russia
| the whole war"
children are dying of starvation in
Germany, according to another report.
Canine life is approaching extinction
as there are nc scraps with which to
feed the dogs.
Prices have reached such heights
that only the wealthy people can afford
to ward off hunger pains.
AS a result Of these conditions revolt
is incipient. Soldiers and working
folk have openly denounced the kaiser,
only to be thrust into prison.
The dungeons Of Spandau are over
crowded with inmates, arrested for po-
litical reasons.
The main hope seems to be in peace
with Russia, from which country 1t Is
expected, relieving supplies will pour

tercourse will be re-established
A number of disabled German sol
diers were invited on Monday to at
tend a meeting of the fatherland party
founded recently in the interests OF
the pan-Germans and other uncompro-
missing elements.
They grew restless under the flow
OF chauvinist talk from the annex
ationists, says the socialist organ, Vor-
waerts of berlin They were not per-
mitted to speak and a stormy session
followed. One Of the speakers refer
led to the disabled soldiers as desert
ers who had left Hindenburg's banner
to betray their comrades.
Some of the cripples, Vorwaerts
says, were belabored with sticks and
abused by the heroic home warriors"
of the fatherland party.
Police finally ordered the disabled
soldiers to leave the hall. In conclud-
ing the account Of the meeting the
newspaper remarks:
"The home warriors of the father
land party were left to themselves and
now know what the field grays think

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-America
must put two million men on the
French front and have one million
more in reserve. She must refuse to
heed German efforts to patch up peace,
until Prussian miliArism is crushed,
Senator Kenyon Of Iowa, declared to-
day In the senate in a speech relating
his experiences in his recent trip over
the French front
Kenyon urged that the United States
concentrate on ships, aircraft and ar
tillery.
Ten thousand air planes on the way
to Berlin would help nightly in nail
ing the stars and stripes to the flag
pole of the kaiser" he said.
Kenyon warmly praised the work
of American destroyers against the
submarines. He said the United
States destroyers and submarine build
ing program is being carried on with
wise foresight
Everyone would want an honorable
peace said Kenyon. But how can
you sit down and work out a peace
problem with mad dog?
IF there is no hell there ought to be

making any treaties? Do We want to
sit down with the Turkish partners of
the kaiser, their hands dripping with
the blood Of the christian people of
Armenia and talk about a righteous
peace? AS a Scotch second lieuten-
ant said to me near one of the battle
fields
''Of course, we do net like this. We
would like to go home, but we will
