HOUSING PLANS In WASHINGTON

There are now 1000 more rooms in
Washington than there are persons to
occupy them. This information comes
from Edwin S. Hege, manager of the
Central Rooming Bureau, working
with the District of Columbia branch
of the Council of National Defense.
I'VE are laboring hard to have the
supply of rooms exceed the demands
for them," said Mr.. Hege, because
We realize that with the expected in
fux Of 10000 to $4,000 additional
clerks who are expected here by July

difficulty to accommodate them. Gov
ernment dormatories will be the So
luton of the difficulty and they are, I
think, certain to come later. It will
take between three and four months
to erect them and in the meantime we
must depend on the patriotic house
holders of the city to assist in hous-
inS this surplus population. We have
met with a most gratifying response
from Washingtonians.
Later on we will inaugurate q

cemmodate in an extremity. We have
had considerable success in assisting
tenants and landlords to come to an
understanding on prices. In those in
stances where it seemed to us that
there was profiteering we have re-
fused to list the rooms; In other In
stances where the price asked was
just and the objections of the pros
pective roomers unreasonable we
have been able to remove them. Sky
highing prices show no signs of be-
coming universal; where such are
found to exist we will be glad to have
them reported to us. We list only
rooms, and have nothing whatever to
do with finding apartments and

III all other departments of the gov

For military reasons it is nor per-

American troops have taken up sew

France, have occupied a sector of
their own northwest of Toul, and have
had numerous encounters with the
Germans. Official statements from the
