CAPTAIN BRETZ
is TRANSFERRED
Former Commander of Com
pany d Now Is With
the Engineers

Captain John T. Bretz. who left
Harrisburg as commander of Com
pany D, Eighth Regiment, Pennsyl-
vania National Guard, has been
transferred to Company A, Sixty fifth
Engineers, and is now stationed at
Bordeaux, France, according to word
received by his wife, Mrs. John T.
Bretz. No. 2 Argyle
Captain Bretz was transferred to
the Railroad Division of the En-
gineers, July 23, and since that time
his duties at Bordeaux have been the
same as those of a trainmaster and
road foreman of engines on a rail-
road here. He is billeted in house
of his own at Bordeaux and has writ
ten that he is very much pleased
with his position.
Captain Bretz enlisted in Company
ID. Eighth Regiment, March 1S, 1900.
In May, 1901, he was promoted to
corporal, two years later, in July, to
sergeant, and April 81, 1908. he was
elected to a second lieutenancy.
April is, 1911, he was elected first
lieutenant, and five years later he
wds elected captain of the company.
In a recent letter to his wife. Cap
tain Bretz describes the park of the
Garden of Plants, and declared that
many parts of Bordeaux are both in
teresting and beautiful.
He gives an unusually interesting
account of the military appearance
of the city, with its countless hun
dreds of soldiers of every national
ity coming and going through the
city streets and parks.
Large crowds are usually inter
esting," he wrote, but this one was
especially so. First of all there were
officers and soldiers there from many
countries and some in very attrac-
tive uniforms. Many French officers
wear caps and breeches of scarlet
Besides the French uniforms there
were British, Italians, Algerians,
Cinnamon. Belgians and the Ameri-
cans. There were sailors, too, from
most every country in the world, eX-
cept Germany, and their uniforms
added to the scene"
His description of the wounded
soldiers is also good. Three fellows
passed walking side by side, all OF
them minus both legs. They had
been furnished artificial limbs and
each of them used two canes. oh, it
is quite common to see an armless
or legless soldier pass, many of them
with their wives and children cling
ing to them

point that building operations alb
sorb the very materials and the very
class of labor and the very Kind of
money that the government requires
most urgently at this time.
Where it is a question of building
a new home simply because it would
afford greater comfort, the opera
ton should not be undertaken.
Where it is a question of need-be ii
on account of sanitary conditions or
because, without such new construc-
ton. other operations essential at
this time for the welfare of the
country would suffer-there is no
doubt that the work should be un-
| dertaken. This applies equally to
construction work in cities and towns
and in farming districts.
Everybody should weigh con-
scientiously in his own mind wheth-
er or not it is his own comfort and
convenience or the national welfare
that moves him in his purpose. If
that is done honestly I do not think
there will be any doubt as to the
proper course to be pursued in each
case"
Ready to Build
Senator Calder. speaking recently
on wartime housing developments.
said:
II am firmly convinced that with
the slightest encouragement on the
part of the governments the great
building industry of the country can
proceed. Within a few days | have
received letters from representatives
of the brick making industry on the
Hudson River advising me that they
had in their brickyards over 300,-
900, 900 bricks ready to be used, and
that there was no place to use them.
/ have letters from cement manu-
facturers, from lumbermen and from
numerous builders. stating that the
attitude of the government here in
discouraging building operations has
completely paralyZed their business
throughout the country. They tell me
that both men and material are
available
so, Mr.. President, I have brought
this matter to the attention of the
Senate, first, in compliance with the
letter of the Secretary of the Treas
ury, and then to justify my state
ment on the floor of the Senate
when the Housing bill was under
consideration. l hope that as a re-
suit of what has occurred the coun-
try will understand that it is not the
purpose of the Treasury Department
or of the War Industries Board or of
the Federal Reserve Board to dis
courage building operations where
they are necessary.
So far from discouraging building
operations, the government is itself
engaged in them on a very large
SCALE hundreds of millions of dollars
being spent in communities like that
of Erie, Sharon, Philadelphia Car
neys Point, Hog Islan6, Chester, the
White Horse pike between Philadel-
phia and Atlantic City and at many
other points the country over.
The governments course with the
application of a community for help
in solving it's housing is to ask that
all information be laid before it and
it is all the better if it is accompan-
led by the survey of an acknowledge
ed authority.
Then If the need for the remodel
ing of unsuitable houses or the erec-
ton of new houses is deemed neces-
sary government aid is not difficult
to procure.

Jersey coast are of a type corre-
spending to the 6-inch naval light
gun. This gun has a caliber of
forty inches. and. with its supports.
will weigh approximately five tons.
1t will hurl a shell weighing eighty
eight pounds a maximum distance OF
three miles. but its most effective
fire is at a range of about a mile
and a half. At the latter range. it
will penetrate the standard Steel
plate a distance of five inches. In a
calm sea it can be fired at the rate
of seven shots a minute.
Crews of the Submarines.
These figures are from carefully
compiled official records of the per-
formance of the German 6-inch ma
val guns. although generally the belief
has obtained that the maximum range
is as much as six or even seven miles.
No exact estimate of. the number OF
the crew aboard the submarine Ia
available. 1t is known that at least
fifteen men are necessary. and it is
possible that it may number twenty
men. AS every foot of space aboard
an undersea boat on a long voyage
must be conserved, 1t is assumed that
the smallest possible crew necessary
to work the vessel and its guns makes
up its complement.
