TWO SCORE HOUSES
FOR NEW PARK TRACT
Permits Issued for WaWaset Hous-
ing Improvement This
Week.

Plans filed this week in the Office
Of the building Inspector cover forty
one residences on the Wawaset Park
tract and call for an estimated expen-
dture Of $3.50 900 IN round numbers
an average Of something over sll ,20O
each Tie majority Of the structures,
however will involve lees than tins
amount while several will reach $1,000
TO Sis 900
Permits previously issued for other
houses on this tract have applied to
the group dwellings, mostly OF four
houses under one roof which nre well unde
way; while the A. houses are all de-
tached and stand ON ample plots. Work
has begun on many of these houses
also but the demand being greater for
the smaller houses, they had the frst
attention
An examination OF the layout for
the development shows imprcssively the
ample scale which Is being followed
The plots face on vide avenues and
are not crowded, space being available
for twice ~ many more houses IN the
future
The tract runs from Pennsylvania
avenuc south - Seventh street. and
from Woodland avenue west 10 Green
hill aven,le The abutting lntersectng
streets arc continued through the tract,
but in some eases follow a curving line,
rather than The rigid .'gridiron' plan
and two or more intermediate streets
have been opened up.
INST CLAss MATERIAL.
Owing to the operation being carried
out on the extensive scale Of contract
ing for materials IN the mass, the owners
of the houses will have tho advantage
OF high grade fittings nj q relatively low
enst, since such fittings are IN less than
normal demand at this time, although
the item of labor carries the total cost
mp to a point something like ~ per cent
above pre-war times.

clock psaIs ,Sr sdmma,r.

Instead of moving the hands of, the clock forward and bnck at the time Of changing from standnrd to summer lime, and vice versa, q plan recently proposed in England Is to have clocks provided with m adjustable dial. The circular disk of the dial would be put in place by screws in curved slots, and the dial would be rotated through one hour space at the time of making the change, leaving the hands untouched
 It is claimed that this plan is especial ly desirable in the case of striking clocks, the hands of which cann0tSbe moved back. The position of tlfn. Nal would also indicate whether the V1M&ek was keeping summer or normal time. The objection to this procedure. of course, is that practically everybody tells time from position of the hands. without any attention to the figures on the dial.

SHRINE OF THE 4HoLY COAT"
Cathedral at Treves contains One os ! Most Jeaiousiy Guarded Relies ] Of the Roman Church.

At intervals of many years the old Prince Bishopric of Treves, wakens out of it's half-slumbering condition and becomes the center of a great pilgrim age. Besides it's numerous Roman re- mains, this quiet old town, claiming to be 1900 years older than Rome, Is the shrine of the ''Holy Coat" one of the most jealously guarded relics in the possession of the Roman church.
 The citizens of Treves are very proud of this seamless garment, and they have given 1t prominent place on their coat-of-arms, says the Dundee Advertiser. 1t was not until 1198 that the Holy Coat" was placed over the high altar, but 1t was not exposed to the public gaze for some three hundred years afterward. It was kept In a se- cret place of the cathedral known only to a few, and there were many who doubted it's existence. A guide book of 1914 says:
 "The existence of the relic at pres- ent is rather doubtful-at least, it is not visible. The attendants of the church say 1t is walled up." All doubts were removed in 1S44. when eArchblsh- op Arnoldl announced a centenary jubilee, at which it was exhibited to million and a half of pilgrims from all parts of tho world. The coat is Il loose garment with wide sleeves, very sim- pie In form. of coarse material, dark brown in color, probably ns the result of age, and entirely without seam or decoration.

SEPARATE PEACE
 SEEMS UNLIKELY
Russians Are Convinced That Ger. many's Demands are Unrea. s0nable-Ter.nS are
 Announced.

Petrograd, Jan. 2-The chances of seperate peace between Russia and the central powers seem remote, be- cause of what are regarded as Ger
 many's unreasonable demands. Leon Trotzky, the Bolshevik foreign minister, and his associates take the stand that the Baltic provinces are under military pressure, while they continue to be occupied by Germany and that their votes with respect to peace must be ignored, as now these provinces are practically German de- pendencies, the loyal Russians having fled.
 The Russian delegation, upon it's re- turn from Brest-Litovsk Tuesday, laid before the Council of Com missioners at Petrograd Germany's de- mands, which caused amazement and the declaration that the council was not favorable to acceptance. An elaboration of the German position in letters and statements which followed the general statement of terms show ed that the Germans declare that Po- land, Lithunia, Courlanc, Livonia and Esthonia have already defined themselves nationally within the meaning of the peace terms proposed and insist that they shall not vote again.

New York, Jan. 1.-Confidence in final victory is expressed in New Year statements carried by the cables to- lay from Premiers Lloyd George of England, Clemenceau of France, and rom the kaiser and Field Marshal on Hindenburg in behalf of Ger many.
 Premier Lloyd Georges New Year message urges the people of Great :ritain to practice economy and to ave money

 "The road of duty snd patriotism s clear before you. Follow it and t will lead ere long to safety for our own people and victory for our ,ause.'
 . The New Years message sent by he premier to the United States is similar in tenor to messages sent to Il the entente nations except Rus sia. , he premier thanks them all for the ortitu6e ca their military and naval orces The communication to the

 No words of mine can adequately convey our sense of what we owe to hc forces which are fighting and suf- 'ering. so that those behind the lines nay enjoy liberty and peace. We can ny thank them from the bottom of
 IT hearts, in full confidence that the 'ov Year will see the fruition of
 cir z" offices in victory"
 Clemenceau Confident. 4 Premier Clemencesu has given this

"A few more strong efforts. The road is straight. sight the goal"
 Kaiser Reviews the Year.


 Berlin reports that Emperor Will liam had addressed the following New Year order to the army and navy:
 "A year of heavy and important battles has come to a close. The gigantic battles which ragged from spring to fall on Belgian and French soil were decided in favor of your glorious arms. In the East the offensive spirit of our armies, by pow erful blows, achieved great successes Our arms there are nosw at rest Bril- liant victories in a few days destroy cd the Italian offensive preparations of years.
 .In cooperation with my army, my fleet has again proved it's efficiency Icy daring enterprises. The submarines are unswervingly performing their difficult and effective work. Filled with pride and admiration, we survey the heroic band of our. colonial troops.
 The German people in arms has thus, everywhere, on land and sea, achieved great deeds, but our enemies still hope, with the assistance of new allies, to deseat you and then destroy forever the world position won by Germany in hard endeavor. They will net succeed. Trusting in our righteous cause and in cur strength, We face the year 1918 with firm confidence and iron will. Therefore, forward with God to fresh deeIs and fresh victories"
 HinGenburg is Hopeful.
 In telegram to Admiral von Holt ensendorff, head of the German naval staff, forwarded from Berlin, Field Marshal von Hindenburg declares the capture of Oesol and Dago Islands, Off the Russian Baltic coast, brought the German army and navy still closer together The German submarines the fed marshal says, have given consid- erable relief in the action of the Western front The message con-. tinues:
 Hand in hand, with Gods help, we shall gain victory in the coming year."

RECONSTRUCTION AFTER WAR

Senator Weeks of Massachusetts
has introduced a resolution asking the
creation of a special congressional
committee on reconstruction after the
war. This resolution. if adopted, will
fill vital need of the Nation. The
English people have partly expressed
themselves in the reconstruction plat
form set forth by the labor party but
the United States. as yet, has done
nothing along this line.
As Senator Weeks says. the end OF
the war may come sooner than it
is expected and some plans should be
made to facilitate the return of in
dustry to normal conditions.
One of the biggest question that will
be before the American people is
what to do with the thousands of sol
diers who have stepped out of their
former rOutines as peaceful citizens
and have had their places filled by
other workers.
Another question is that of the man
ufacturers who have enlarged their
plants to many times their pre-war
capacities and are engaged in produc-
ing articles. now essential. for which
the demand after the war will be al 4
most nothing
The workers who have been trained |
in war work will also have to be dealt /
with. The use to which we shall put .
our merchant marine should be con-
sidered
The prosecution of the war is the
biggest thing before us at present.
But we must not let the great prob
lem of reconstruction be delayed un-
til it is upon us.
The transition from war to peace
will be trying at best. Just
as the transition from peace to war
brought unprecedented difficulties.
let us begin to plan now so
as to avoid as many of the difficulties
rs possible.

THE WEAKNESS OF HATE

II was the Germans who sang with
lusty voices the Hymn of Hate"
against their rival, England. Just as
a jealous person looks with envy and
hatred on the good fortune of another
person, so Germany fOstered envy and
malice toward England.
What has it profted them? Hun
dreds of thousands of men killed
men who had little sons and daugh-
ters, men who went home from their
work in the evening to a pleasant fire.
an attractive meal. and the evening
pipe. These men now lie in graves.
or in the open, unburied, dead.
From purely pragmatic standpoint.
hate is a weakness which it does not
pay to cultivate.
The hate that some newspapers and
some citizens of this and other coun-
tries are trying to foster is a weak
ness which must not be allowed to
fasten itself upon the people of this
country. To get on with the war.
to finish the job completely and with
the entire victory on the side of the
Allies, America must needs nave a
cold, righteous wrath which has the
temper of fine steel. Hate is a weak
weapon, but cold anger is strong
