REAL ESTATE MAN
EXPLAINS DETAILS
Of SAULSBURYACT

misunderstanding by the people OF
Washington regarding the Salisbury
resolution which recently passed Con-
gress was cleared today by an inter
view by . Times reporter with s J.
Henry, vice president Of the +. n
Smith Company. an oIo-esuAonshed
real estate concern, Of SIS Fifteenth
street northwest
Mr.. Henry made the following
statement:
The Salisbury resolution, regulat-
ing rentals OF property IN the District
Of Columbia, maintains the status be-
tween landlord and tenant existing
prior to the approval OF the act on
May 81. 1918.
Tn q few words, Il forbids the
landlord from raising rents, and as
sures possession to the tenant, pro
vided he pays his rent promptly, ex-
cept in eases where the owner OF the
property desires possession Of the
property for his personal use, or
where a new purchaser desires pos
session for his personal usA
The ejectment Of tenants can be
obtained to cover either OF the above
cases by the owner, and can even be
obtained II It is NECESSARY for the oc-
cupation of landlords wife, children,
or dependents, while he Is in the en-
ploy OF or officially connected with
the Government This provision pro-
tects families OF our men IN any
branch OF the Government service,
civil or military.
Tho act does not relieve . tenant.
however. from paying an increased
rent, provided such increased rent
has been a matter OF contract before
the resolution was enacted into law.
Thus, where property Is under rental
for,S say, 81 900 q year up to July !, 1918,
and after that at the rate OF $1,000
. year, the rental at that time must
be paid at the increased rate-the
law not covering the snnulment OF
such contracts; and Il is legal for
the landlord and tenant at the pres
emit Tina to execute q lease calling for
q higher rental than has been paid
in the past This, Of course, is a
voluntary agreement between the
parties in interest
1T does not forbid sales, and
property can be sold as heretofore
There is probably some misappre-
hension in the public mind, in re-
spect to this feature OF the act; hut
Il must be remembered that in sales
the rights of the tenant to continue
in possession are emphasized and
protected by the resolution. There is
nothing in the resolution prohibiting
the change OF ownership.

SOUTH AMERICAN
SOLDIERS MAY Be
TRAINED IN i. S.

The way has now been paved
for active military participation in
the war by the South and Central
American republics which have de-
cIAred war against Germany.
The Senate Military Affairs Com
mittee unanimously adopted an
amendment authorizing the War De
partment to train men sent TO this
country for that purpose by any al
lied nation
The purpose Of the amendment, IT
was understood. was to provide for
the training Of South and Central
Americans. In the present situation
these allies are unable to participate
actively in the war because Of lack
OF equipment and shipping.

AN AUGUST CONCEPTION.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge, poet and
essayist, writing some rs years ago,
said:
1.-THE possible destiny of the United
States of America as a Nation of a
hundred million of free men, stretch
ing from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
living under the laws of Alfred and
speaking the language Of Shakespeare
and Milton, is an august conception"
The United States is now a Nation
of hundred million or more,
stretching from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, and reaching out east takes in
Hawaii and the Philippines, in the
north Alaska, and in the south the
Panama Canal. But grander than its
physical Is its moral greatness. It's
fairness and justice, its courage and
power, its maintenance Of right and
freedom cover the world.
The destiny the United States lie
now fulfilling is more august con-
ception than even the Imagination OF
the author Of Kubla Khan conceived
of less than a century ago.

WATCH FOR ENEMY SPIES.

1t becomes increasingly evident in con-
nection with submarine activities off the
New England Coast that enemy spies are
at liberty in this State, in the opinion of
the Maine committee on public safety.
The committee is in possession of evil
dence of this nature and that evidence
has been presented to the proper chan
nels. Information which has come to
the committee indicate many suspicious
circumstances along the Maine coast.
In fact, it is well established that an
officer of an enemy submarine landed and
was seen by the captain and mate of a
steamer sunk by that submarine. 1t is
also we'll established that time and sail
ings must be known to the enemy, there
fore, the committee urges upon every
member of its organization throughout
the State to keep vigilant Lookout for
strangers in their vicinity who might be
suspected of such work, to act promptly
in an emergency and to make every eff
fort to curtail the work of the enemy
spies.

LIBERTY LOAN AND SAVINGS
BANKS.

The effect of the Liberty Loans and
the War Savings Stamps on savings
banks deposits has been watched with
keen interest by economists and f1nan-
ciers. The experience of England was
very encouraging; In the year 1915
the English small depositors pur-
chased billions of dollars of war bonds
and at the same time increased their
deposits in savings banks over $780,
100000.
The belief is entertained that the
result in America has been very SINH
lar to that i'll England, and that de-
spite the purchase by the American
people of some $4,000 100000 Of Lib
erty Bonds and $5o0,OoG0o0 Of War
Savings Stamps, very fair proper
ton Of which were purchased by saw
ings banks depositors, savings banks
deposits have increased
Full reports have been received
from the savings banks in New York
State They show a decrease in de-
posts for the last year of only $4,000
600, but an increase of 21.252 deposit
tors. The loss in deposits is insight
ficant; the increase n the number OF
depostors very significant. With in
creased cost of living and other war
conditions, the decrease in deposits
might well be expected; the increase
of ,depositors shows that the saving
habit is greatly growing in our coun-
try.
