PLANNING TO CELEBRATE
WASHlNGT0N'S BIRTHDAY
Men at Meade Eager to Parade in
Home Cities in Honor Of First
President.

Parades by soldiers from here may be
held in Baltimore, Washington and Phil
adelphia on Washingtons birthday IL
plans being discussed can be worked out
In the way the men wish. The Philadel-
phia home folks are making the liveliest
effort to get Meade soldiers there because
they realize there are obstacles in the
way of carrying out their suggestion.
Secretary of War Baker few days ago
said that he had no objection to the men
of the training camps parading in their
home towns where there were no great
transportation difficulties to prevent the
necessary movement of forces
But the transportation problem was
faced at Christmas so well and since
then has been managed every Saturday,
when about so per cent of the men leave
camp that 1t Is not at present regarded
as particularly hard to face. The ex-
pense seems to be matter of no concern
to the men. They are willing to pay their
own way, but anxious, of course, to see
some effort on the part of the people of
the cities to provide them some form of
reception.

DRAFTED MEN MAY TRAIN.
AT MILITARY ACADEMY
Recent Order Allows Boys at Camp
Meade to Take Course at
West Point. -,

Men drafted into the military service
will have their chance. to go to West
Point Military Academy along with 9TH
ers, according to an order made public
here today. There were chosen over 500
men for the Camp Meade officers train
ing camp, and now, by this new order,
some lucky ones will have that greater
distinction of learning. the war game at
that institution that has turned out so
many of the famous military leaders Of
the nation. The applicants must be be-
tween nineteen and twenty-five years
old and must have seen one year Of
service.
AS no men were draftedsyounger than
twenty-one, it means men between
twenty-one and twenty-five, and as for
a years service, few, indeed, have had
that. There are some, of course, who
managed to have National Guard expert
ence and then got out of the Guard in
time to be drafted into the National Army
The main point of the order is that all
qualified applicants will receive the same
treatment. A competitive examination
will be held on March 10, and the sue
cessful candidates will be admitted to
West Point in June. y

President Solves Problem.

The great need has been for a cen tralized agency, which the president $ appropriation will now provide. All organizations which have been trying in their own way to solve the 'hous- ing problem will be asked to co-op- crate, and it is expected that their united efforts the first few weeks of 1918 will clear Up the situation
 The increase of 10000 persons in the city's population would have taxed WashingtOns S resources in any event, but the fact that the govern ment itself has not sufficient buildings for it's clerical force and that many large apartments and dwellings were "commandeered'' and their inhabi- tants added to the swelling ranks of the homeless greatly complicated the situation.
 While many war workers assert they have been "fleeced,'' residents of the capital city indignantly deny that they have indulged in war profiteer- ing at the expense of the thousands of Army and Navy families and gov ernment employees of the District Council of Defense investigated com plaints that experimentation owners were asking unjustified advances, but found that the increased cost of heat ing the apartments had made 1t neces- sary for the owners to put up the prices.
 Reluctance of the new government employees to go beyond walking dis tance to their departm ents is responsi- bIe for much overcroWding and com- plaints of high prices because the de- DartmentS are located in the heart of the city where rents are naturally higher than in tho outlying portions. Fifteen hundred clerks, the majority of whom are young women, have been placed in private homes. The welfare worker of the War Risks In- surance bureau who succeeds in per suading the young women employees in her charge to seek lodgings in the newer portions of the city largely pop ulated by married couples who are buying homes, finds that the rooms in these sections are comfortable and prices by no means high.
 Few rooms in Washington are of fered with board, though many fami- lies who take lodgers, especially those whose homes are some distance from the city, are willing to furnish break fast
 The notion that prices for living in Washington would be comparable to those in other cities of the same size

IS dlspelled by a. knowledge of the ele- ments of it's population and it's unique poSlilon among American cities. Skilled labor was cheap and plentiful but owing to the exodus of large num- berS of negroes to the munitions towns, it is now both scarce and high.
 The fact that the city has always had floating population which is very large in proportion to it's actual in hab1tants also cOmplicates it's prob lem. This transient population in- cluded not only the thousands of per sons who were temporarily in the city to transact business with congress, the department and the Supreme Court, but armies of tourists who taxed the hotels to their capac cities.

Population of Washington Grows.

Government officials thought the city of Washington should cope with the emergency which had increased her population of 3S5,00O by 100000 in a few months.
 Had the Chamber of Commerce of the District of Columbia possessed the funds available to the commercial organizations Of large industrial cities cral aid but Washington has never been a manufacturing or commercial center and her Chamber of Commerce is comparatively poor.
 A centralized rooming agency under federal control, will, it is expected, succeed in guiding the newcomer to a comfortable lodging and relieve the anxiety of parents, who wonder how their young folk, especially young women, are faring in Washington. A booth in charge of a trained welfare worker has been placed in the Union station and is available both day and night to direct Uncle Sam S prospec tive workers to comfortable lodgings.
 Business, religious fraternal and phi1anthropic organizations have tried to solve the "rOoming problem The Young Womans Christian association and the Young Mems Christian as sociation were the only recognized agencies in Washington at the begin ming of the war which attempted to find lodgings for newcomers.
 The Chamber of Commerce also tried to list rooms but found itself unable to pay persons for this import ant service.
