Dublin Houses Congested
4,144 Persons Live, Eat and
Sleep Two in a Room

WASHINGTON. Oct 22-Under the
caption "Dcfiled Dublin" "The London
News" prints an article by its Dublin
correspondent, Hugh Martin, who
quotes from a survey published by the
housing committee of the corporation.
According to this there are %. .6S9
men and women living in the north
side, the slum district OF the city, in
tenement houses which either are un-
'it for human habitation and incapable
OF being rendered fit, or so decayed
as to be on or fast approaching the
border line of being unfit" Of these
2s,639 dwellers ALA live, eat and
sleep two in room, 3,424 three in a
room, BATE four in room, 1850 five
III room, 1,308 six in room. 800
seven in a room, PAS eight in room.
and 10S nine in a room. All the one
room tencments are in houses practi
cally unit for human habitation.
The colossal task of curing these
conditions will cost, it is estimated
not less than $4O,OO0,OOO, as at least
l6,500 new houses must be constructed.
1t Is pointed out that in these copdj
tons the poorly housed men and
women can hardly be expected to be ef-
fclent workers or even loyal subjects
of the crown.

Army Now Handles
Mail for Soldiers
Million Letters Day Are Re-
ccived in France for Amer
lean Troops

NASIIlNCTON, NOV. 1.-The mail
service for our army abroad has now
bcen taken over by the army 1t is
handling million letters x day that
arc received in France from this coun-
Try. and about 100000 letters q day
that are mailed in France for soldiers
in France. II has warehouses for sort
ing mail at French ports. 1t has rail
way mail clerks on some 1000 miles
Of French railroads. 1t has central
postot1icc at Tours, permanent post
otiices at various points; mobile post
offices right up TO the firing lines, and
mail ordcrlcs attached to each COM
psny of troops.
In the past, when the mail service
for the army was under civil control,
great delays were caused III the deliv-
cry Of mail by the necessary secrecy
concerning troop movements. Now, un-
der military control all movements Of
the mobile postotfices arc telcgranhed
IN code TO the distributing postotfces
and the lottcrs follow the soldiers as
they march All the hospitals notify
the central postofiicc Of the identity Of
wounded soldiers received or trans
ferrcd. The central postofficc works
with the central record division of
the adiutant generals Office. where
every soldier in the army is card-in-
dcXed, and $50 men are there constant
ly employed searching out addresses.
a system has been devised by which
delivery may be quickened to "replacc-
ment units" who have been scattered
among widely separated troops. And
various means have been found for
overcoming delays due to lack of ship
ping facilities or congestion Of mail at
crowded posts.
1t still remains true that mail for
some $4,000 soldiers in France is de
layed because the letters are made
quatcly addressed In the future all
such letters will be stopped at New
York and returned to their senders
1t is estimated that 300, 900 letters q
month have been delayed in the past
because the men were in "replacement
units.' This "hoater's mail" is now be-
ing handled expeditiously. The delay
due to censorship is not great and it is
being reduced.
The army authorities are aware that
nothing sustains the morale of a sol.
der like letters from home. The mo-
bile postoffices now keep up with the
troops; the mail is received with the
rations at the kitchen. and the whole
reorganized postal service is devoted

zens have responded for 4 fourth time
TO the governments appeal for SSsssr
loans with more than was asked. To-
tai subscriptions Of 1886 800 from
more than 100000 individuals is the
record of the fourth Liberty Loan, as
announced to-day by tho Treasury,
based on careful estimates by the
twelve Federal Reserve banks.
The entire s66,416,3O0, oversubscrip-
tion will be accepted and applied TO re
ducing the size of the fifth loan, to be
offered in the spring.
Final figures may send the fourth
loan total even higher. Owing to 4
long delay of banks in tabulating their
pledges, reserve banks were instructed
by the Treasury to report conservative
estimate Of their sales and subscr'b-
ers, making these zoo low rather tina n
too high. For this reason, aome ,cvi-
sion OF the totals will bc made within
a week or ten days.
All districts reported oversubscrip
,ons. ranging from e per cent for
Boston to IL littfc less than G per cent
for San Francisco. The aggregate over
subscription was il.tA per cent.
Records by districts were as follows;

''The great success of the loan IS
new and convincing evidence of the de
termined spirit Of America to carry
Oh the war until freedom is assured
throughout the world. But even with
the highest purpose and patriotism on
the part Of the people. this great re

bankers and business men, farmers,
wage earners, railroad officers and em-
2loycs and every group Of citizens
who have so ably ard enthusiastically :
cooperated with the Treasury in con
ductigg the campaign.
"To the press of the country especial
credit IS due for emphasizing through
their news columns and editorial pages
the necessity for making this great
loan successful.
''In spite OF the influenza cpidem c

unfa.orablc factors, the American peo-
pie have consummated the, create It

This makes the fourth Liberty Loan
the greatest popular war credit ever
loated. 1t is the fourth time, asc,
that Liberty Loans have been oversub-
scribcd. 1t exceeds by probably 5000

ers Of the third Liberty Loan, which
