WOMEN TRY TO
EVICT LODGERS
Dozen Cases Come to At
tention of Housing
Officials.

Having arrived at the conclusion
that the war was over and that the
Salisbury law therefore no longer
applied. scores of landladies yester-
day tried to evict dodgers.
At least twenty cases came to the
attention OF the Housing Section of
the War Department before O'Clock
yesterday. In each case the land
lady changed her mind when she was
informed by the War Depar., .,ment
that the war was not over.
They melted away like Pruss'an
grenadiers," said one housing official
in telling OF the matter.
Widespread belief that acceptance
of rentals by n bona fide purchaser
for the purpose Of occupancy does
not make the latter a landlord and
render him able to evict the tenant.
under the terms of the Salisbury
law. is creating havoc among people
bringing suits. The point has not
been cleared up by a decision ac-
cording to Capt. Peyser, chief Of the
Housing and Health Division of the
War Department.
The rule is an iron-clad one"
said Capt. Peyser, that acceptance
of rentals by a bona fide purchaser
for the purpose of occupancy makes
the latter a landlord and renders
him unable to evict the tenant"

RELIEF BY AMERICANS
TO ARCHANGEL PEOPLE

Stockholm, Nov. II. Russians in
the Archangel district, at least. know
now that when Uncle Sam an
nounced he was out to help Russ a
he meant what he said.
In this district the Russians are of
course largely dependent on the allied
military expedition for their living.
Archangel district is the envy of the
whole empire.
There is order, and food. and good
clothing, and even movies and
smokes!
In addition to what the military
forces have done directly for the peo-
pie in that district, the American
Red Cross has shipped from its Lon
don warehouses nearly three-quarteys
of a million pounds of supplies to
Archangel. The fighting men and the
people both get the benefit of these
shipments.
There are medical supplies, warm
clothes, boots. pipes, cigarettes, tents,
chocolates. skates. hockey equipment
movie cameras and films, books, Bi-
bles, musical instruments and dozens
of other articles. .....,
As more and more supplies 60 to
the Archangel district and around
in Eastern Siberia where another al
lied force is operating officials here
believe that these districts will be.
come powerful factors in convinctinc
all Russia that the allies desire only
to aid her.
