advertising today 1t has
helped me over the top" 1t
enabled me, in directing The
Belleclaire's destinies as an en-
ploye, to so build the business
that | acquired the hotel for
myself.
Advertising has been en-
ployed by me very regularly,
but my investment in it has
never been more than 81 per
cent of my gross business. 1t
has made for The Bellecla,re
thousands of friends People
say they like my advertising
because it tells them the very
things they want to know about
a hotel-its comforts, its at
mosphere, its conveniences. its
service, it's large rooms, its
cleanliness, its modesty it's
character, and its good cook
ing.
My Apple Pie advertisement
travelled around the world. and
wherever it became known, a
resolution was made then and
there by many people. which
was in effect: Whenever |
am in New York, | will visit
the Hotel Of Apple Pie"
| am glad to acknowledge
the power of advertising. and
my hat is off to the men and
women in the advertising busi-
ness, who have made it a factor
IN dignifying and elevating the
business of the country.

Both are responsible for the figures
of today.
For these reasons, new taxes do not
depend on the complexion of the next
Congress. For whether the November
result favors the democrats or the re-
publicans. those taxes will have to be
levied. The government needs the
money, and no party could afford to
deny the government what it needs in
the prosecution Of the war.
As The Star stated the other day. It
is easy to understand, and not diff
cult to sympathize with, the desire of
senator's and representatives seeking
reelection to wind up business on
Capitol Hill as soon as possible and go
home They are considering their own
interests in an everyday way. But SO
far as the record goes. it will face them
and they will have to face it whether
;hey appear on the stump early or late.
Another thing is that if, for any
reason. the present Congress. either at
a special session or at the short regular
session, should Fail to agree upon new
tax levies, the new Congress woIld
soon ie available. and the President
would, Of course, call it to meet rs soon
after March as tho circumstances
would require.

France and America.

Enthusiastic demonstrations are not
common in Washington. The people
of this city are, as rule, conservative
in their manifestations Of feeling,
though they feel deeply. But this war
has awakened emotions and loosened
the voices. and the capital is now Civ
ing expression TO itself without stint.
Last night at Liberty Hut representa-
tives Of France who appeared at the
Red Cross meeting were greeted with
cheers that made q new record for the
District. It is a wholesome sign of
the newly aroused spirit OF the people.
Sympathy for France has been marked
from the beginning Of the war because
the French have been the chief suf-
ferers from Germany's onset. Now that
our troops are fighting in France this
feeling Of association, engendered by
the services rendered by Lafayette and
his men in the war Of the revolution,
has become intensified.
No matter how close are the blood
ties and language ties to others, the
feeling of the American people for
the French as manifested last night
remains exceptionally warm. The oe-

Italy's War Anniversary.

Plans for virtually official com
ticularly in Washington, of the third
anniversary of Italy's entrance into
the war contemplate meetings by
means Of which it is hoped the atten-
tion of the American people will be di-
rected to the important part that Italy
is playing in this contest. Coming as
t does in the midst of the Red Cross
drive, it is desirable to give especial
emphasis to this occasion. Tie local
plan is to anticipate the actual an
niversary by one day in order to per
nit the presence Of the Italian ambas-
sador at meeting elsewhere. Tomor-
row night. at Liberty hut, an especially
notable assemblage will be held, at
which it is expected American appre-
ciation of Italy's contribution to the
campaign against the German peril
will be fully expressed.
Italy's part in the war has been no
bly, sustained. 1t is particularly a
matter of interest to Americans that
a large percentage of the forces of
King Victor now holding the line from
the Alps to the Adriatic have spent
some time in the United States. There
is an exceptional tie, therefore, be-
tween the two countries, and it is ap
propriate that in Washington should
begin the series of American meetings
that will give voice to the feeling of
sympathy for Italy's position and ap
probation for her services felt
throughout this land.

Housing Works.

Plans for the erection OF dormitorics
for the new government workers are
outlined The purpose is to construct
temporary buildings at four points, the
Station Capitol plaza. land at the
southwest corner of the Mall-Avenue
triangle, the northern side of the
Monument grounds and site IN Po-
somac Park between the Two bridges.
Selection of these sites, it is indicated,
has been governed by considerations
of a minimum of displacement as we'll
IS maximum OF ccn> enicnce. On the
latter point the choice of the Potomac
Park site would seem to be question
able. 4 dormitory there would be
difficult of access. with only the Alex
andria ears for transportation and with
no surroundings suitable for the com
fort and Aversion Of the occupants.
A better site could probably be found.
Doubtless this site is contemplated as
the las resort in the building pro-
gram. The others are we'll selected
with reference to suitability.
In structure the buildings, it is in
Iicatcd. will be of the terra Gotta and
stucco type suitable for the immediate
purpose, and yet not of such Eerma-
nence as to justify their continuance
for an extended period. 1t is undesir-
able to d:sfgurc the capital with ugly
temporary buildings when by the ex-
penditure of a very little more money
than mere shacks would cost construc-
tions Of at least not unattractive type
can be produced.
Work on these temporary housings
for tine government workers must begin
promptly and be pressed to completion
within the shortest possible time.
While few more people can perhaps
be accommodated in the private homes
of the people, the limit has about been
reached The householders of Wash
ington have responded splendi,lly to
the call for help and have sacrificed
their privacy and comfort to accommo.

While some more may be taken, the
close approach TO the capacity Of the
homes renders urgent the utmost speed

which the government must depend for

New Taxes Now or Later.
This is from a news story:


IF a new war revenue bill is in.
sist.d upon, it means that Congress
will be kept here Mt least until we'll
into September. No matter in what
shape this revenue legislation comes
before the House. the legislation viii!
lie bitterly contested. Tax legislation
apparently is just as unpopular in war
time as i'll peace time, and, looking
into the past, democratic leaders recall
that the wrath Of the people usually
10 visited upon the party responsible
for levying additional burdens uDon
them. They fear that if the additional
tax burdens are imposed and the cleo
tions follow Immediately the voters
may come to the conclusion that re-
publican congressional policies in war
time would be a good thing to try out. J"
II it is shown that the additional
revenue is necessary, will it make any
difference. 30 far as the congressional
campaign is concerned, whether the
new taxes are imposed before or after
the elections Why sol The voters
will understand the situation. If the
new tax law is postponed until after
the election the postponement will be
simply and confessedly q political
maneuver, and, therefore. be likely to
defeat itself. The people will know
that At q special session to be called
Immediately after the election, or at
the short session beginning in Deeem-
Der, the new assessments will be pro-
posed.

tion, and cannot be successfully in

Both have been voting the war sup

The New German Drive.

comparatively few square miles Of
French and Flanders territory-abso-
lut.ly valueless in determination of
the one big issue at stake. and say.
This is what we have wrought" He
can say no more.
The beginning of the new period
finds the rcorganiZed German armies
about ready to strike out again with
the hope OF reach;n. the channel ports,
if not Paris. Tremendous concentra
tion of men. guns and equipment has
been effected behind the present bat
tie lines to be used when the fast ap-
preaching crucial hour arrives. The
coming effort undoubtedly will be the
greatest yet attempted by Teutonic
war lords. but since the impetus of
their first efforts was stayed by the
heroic. stand Of allied armies time has
worked to the advantage of the en-
tente lcgicns.
Confidence Of Gen. Foch and his al
lied commanders is not without justifi-
cation. The difficulties of cffecting
perfect unity of command and effort
might have interfered somewhat with
concerted resistance at the height of
any great battle, but in the weeks of
lull British, American and French
forces have been welded as one. Po-
sitions have been strengthened every
where. Great weight of guns has been
placed and reserve forces stationed
where they can best strike. should they
be called upon 10 move either to
Flanders or in Pieardy.
Fighting Of the past two weeks has
been of sounding out character. The
big battle has not yet begun. The allies
through the medium Of sharp attacks,
have adjusted their positions advan-
tageously both in Flanders and along
the Ancrc. The great attack on Brit
ikh positions near Merville yesterday
was a German attempt to test the
strength Of the British who block the
Teutonic path to Hazebrouck. much
desired goal. This kind of fighting
may continue day or week. 1t can
not be definitely stated, but indications
are for an early resumption of the
German main effort.
Fighting Of the spring will pale into
insignifcance when compared with
that to come. That the series of con-
Aicts will settle definitely military su-
periority is view held abroad. But the
allied armies show no doubt. They are
ready, and when the smoke of battle
once more fades they feel the Teuton
will have been shown the utter futility
of his world -conouerinp ambitions.
