the houses, certains community facil-
tiles, such as stores, a moving picture
theatre, and a recreation building.
1t was also necessary to supplement-
the existing school facilities. This
will probably be done by an arrange
ment with the city authorities.
The contract was awarded about
ten days ago for the construction of
sewers, water supply, electric light,
sidewalks, streets, etc. The con-
tractor now has large force at
work
Lots 40 BY 100 Feet.
The houses are generally grouped
in rows from four to six. The lots
on which they are to be built average
about 40 by 100 feet. The construc-
ton will be of brick because that is
the most available building material
in the region. The United States
Housing Corporation has been ad.
vised by the War Industries Board
OH this account to use brick, which
can be brought on trucks to the build
ing site, thereby avoiding any fur
ther burden on railroad facilities.
The houses will contain five and
six rooms and in some cases will have
large attics in which one or two other
rooms might be added. Enough vari-
alton in type to avoid monotony has
been planned.
To Build Mems Club.
In addition to these houses the cor
poration proposes to build a mems
club in South Bethlehem Immediately
adjacent to the Bethlehem Steel Cor
poration plant This club will be
provided with billiard rooms, bowl
ing. alleys, assembly hall, and other
recreational facilities. The need for
this arises from the fact that that
section of the city is entirely without
recreational opportunities, other than
those furnished by the corner saloon.
The government club is designed to
compete with these and was especi-
ally asked for by army representa-
tives.
The Ordnance Department is build
ing temporary dormitory to house
1000 men in another section of Beth
lehem.
The need of the government houses
in Bethlehem is very acute. There
are in storage now 1000 sets Of
household furniture. This furniture
is not being used because no houses
are available. In many cases the
, men and their families have left the
city because they found no place in
which to live

Dor situation i'm the United States
during and after the war was one
of the chief topics discussed hers
Tuesday at the 23rd annual cOnyen-
ton of the National Association OF
Manufacturers, which adopted a
resolution urging congress to pass
such legislation as would make pos
sible the utilization OF all interned
enemy aliens for the cultivation OF
the soil and for other useful work,

George l.. Martin of Philadelphia
opened the labor discussion when he
asserted that chaos will follow the
war unless the demands Of la Dor for
shorter hours and higher wages are
curbed" and that ia Dor should be
stabilized and the employer pro-
tected against the bidding Of one
manufacturer against another for
labor"
Henry NJ. Leland of Detroit. de-
clared that the trouble rests i'm the
shortage Of mocha MICS in this coun-
try due in part to the placing in the
trenches Of men who might be doing
more important services for their
country at home. The skilled me-
chanics are gone and aliens are left

Mayor Ralph ". Gaylor issued
the following proclamation in con-
nection with cleanup days, May
p. 2S and 29th. Wednesday morn
ing:
To the Citizens of Mishawaka:
The time has come when we
should again engage in our annual
cleanup campaign. l bespeak the
active cooperation of every citizen.
all civic bodies and commercial or
CARNATIONS. the press and school
children, TO the end that Mishawaka
may be cleaned up as never before
in her history.
A criticism OF the cleanup cam
paign program is that il is largely
temporary in its results. There is
much merit in this complaint and
would urge our citizens that once
having cleaned up their premises to
see 10 il that they are kept clean
throughout the entire year. To this
end commend TO our citizens a
service which the city renders at a
very nominal cost, and by which all
ashes. rubbish and litter is re-
moved from the premises as it ac-
cumulates and the cleanup cam
paign is thus extended throughout
the year and permanent results
secured.
A permit for this service can be
obtained at the Office Of the city
clerk and full information will be
,hoo~f,,r1r- rrix-a,, ~agawdiru co mo
A clean city is not only a splen-
did advertisement but il contributes
largely TO the health Of the COM
munity and means many dollars
saved in the way of doctor bills and
medicine. besides being an inn
portant factor in the matter of fire
prevention.
Therefore in the interest Of a
cleaner. healthier and more beauti-
full city I hereby designate, as
mayor of Mishawaka, May 81, 2S
and 29th- as cleanup days. Begin
not later than Monday. May p, and
rake your yards. clean out your cell
lars and gather all tin cans, litter
and rubbish of every nature and
place it in convenient receptacles.
or dump it in neat piles near the
curb line of your property. and the
city will provide teams and wagons
to remove the same. II is under
stood. of course. that this does not
include ashes, as citizens are ex-
pected to remove tSeir own ash
heaps as in the past.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. May %
Mrs. Anna Laura Newman, 73 years
old, died at the City hospital today
following q brief illness of pneu-
monia.
To the present generation an
nouncement of her death will excite
but little interest but TO survivors
of the Civil war the news that

Though a girl of but 16 when the
Civil war broke out, Mrs. Newman
volunteered as a nurse and served
in The field and hospital throughout
the four years of that great conflict.
Her services on the field of battle
particularly endeared her TO soldiers

called her Annie Laurie"
Mrs Newman also had some

CANNOT GRANT
DUTCH REQUEST
America Forced to Refuse
Dutch Government
Ships for Grain.

WASHINGTON, May s2.-Houand
has been notified by the United
States government that her request
for three ships now in American
ports 10 carry the balance of the
grain promised her by Pres't Wilson
cannot be granted. and that 20 pre-
vent further delay in the movement
of the gram Dutch ships should he
sent for il at once.
The fact that this step had been
taken became known today soon
after the receipt OF press dispatches
announcing that the Netherlands
government had prohibited the de-
parture of Dutch ships from IT'S
ports Officials were at loss TO un-
derstand the meaning Of Holland S
action, though it was assumed that
the attitude of Germany was respon-
sible.
More than 400. 900 tons of Dutch
shipping are idle in Dutch ports. &C
cording TO information in the pos
session of the state departments. It
is from this fleet Of tied-up tonnage
that the war trade board holds the
ships necessary to transport the
grain must be taken.

are now at ports Of embarkation for
Holland and by the time ships come
for it there will be enough 10 make
up the $4,000 tons remaining TO be
supplied OF the $1,000 tons prom
ised. Holland has been warned that
this supply cannot be maintained in
definitely.
The state department pointed out
to the Netherlands government that
as a special concession, to provide
for urgent needs of that country, the
war trade board permitted the de
parture from the United States of
three ships with $4,000 tons Of
cereals on condition that replacing
ships would be sent from Dutch
ports simultaneously
In addition TO the grain from this
country being accumulated at Allan

send ships for this also.
