PRESIDENTS WORD
TOSTART HOUSING
All in Readiness to Begin
Erection Of Dormitories
! for U. S. Workers.

Al soon as President Wilson says
the word the housing bureau OF the
Department Of Labor will begin work
on the frat OF the temporary dormi-
tories to be erected In Washington
to accommodate thousands Of gov
ernment clerks who will be brought
here during the remainder of this
year.
The housing bureau has practically
completed preliminary plans for the
construction Of tho dormitories. but
as the housing bill in its fnal fern
placed supervision of tho bill in the
hands Of the President, the chief
executive must pass on the plans or
assign power to the Secretary of
Labor to do 50 before work can be
started.
For Navy Yard Workers.
In addition to the dormitories to be
erected for clerks In the executive
departments, the housing bureau has
under consideration several sites in
the southeast for the erection of
small permanent homes for navy
yard employees, who have been
brought to Washington in such large
numbers that additional housing
must be provided for them.
Present plans contemplate the erec-
tion Of dormitory facilities for 5000.
Although more dormitories may be
built later, officials Of the housing
bureau believe the room registration
office of the District Council Of De-
fense will be able to place thousands
OF more workers in the homes of
Washington. There has been steady
increase recently in the number OF
vacant rooms being listed at the room

CONDITIONS IN
PETROCRAD ARE
GETTING WORSE
Economic and Civil Chaos
Reisns in Capital of Russia.
No Semblance of Order Is
Had in the Metropolis.

LONDON, Jan. 25.-The latest re-
ports received here from British cor
respondents in Petrograd say condi-
lions there are steadily becoming
worse. Opposition to the Bolshevik
government is growing. principally be
cause Of the recent murder of two for
mer members of the Kerensky cabinet
The Bolshevik are bringing many
troops from the front. apparently for
the protection OF the government menr
bers. Crowds assemble at the street
corners to listen to sidewalk orators
many OF whom openly denounced the
BOlshevik regime.
The police have disappeared and it
is a daily occurrence for soldiers in
automobiles to pull well dressed citi-
gems into the cars. diveSt them OF
their outer garments and leave them
half naked in the snow.
No family in Petrograd is allowed
to occupy more than four rooms. A
simple meal costs from so to so rubles.
Complete Chaos
Economic conditions are in complete
chaos. Postage stamps of the Czaris-
tic regime are made to serve for small
change. Similar conditions exist at
Kronstadt where the banks have been
sacked and their officials turned into
the streets.
A Reuters limited dispatch from
Petrograd quoted an announcement
signed by NJ. JOffe. chairman of the
Russian peace delegation at Brest-Lit'
ovsk. that the Bolshevik government
has recognized new delegation from
the Peoples Secretariat OF the work
men and peasants OF the Ukrainian re.
public. This delegation is TO partici-
pate in the Brest- Litovsk negotiations
instead OF the delegation from the Uk'
rainian rada. which. NJ. Joffe says, rep
reSents the bourgeoise.

AMSTERDAM. Jan 26.-Dr. Rlch'
ard Won Kuehlmann. the German sec
rotary for foreign affairs, speaking
Yesterday before the main committee
of the reichstag. made long explain
alton in defense of the central po'
wers' negotiations with the Russians
at Brest-Litovsk. The general tone
of the foreign Secretary's speech in
Dictated that there had been strong
criticisms from German sources. chief
IL because the government had not
dealt with the Bolshevki as conquer
Ors distating 10 the conquered.
incidentally Won Kuehlmann gave
an Interpretation OF the German idea
of characterization for the peoples
of Poland. Courland and Lithuania.
The plan is not to provide a referen-
dunn. but a decision by the representa-
tive bodies OF the leaders Of public
opinion. The significant point in this
scheme is contained in the fact that
the so-called representative bodies OF
those countries now consist Of repre-

BY EXPLOSION
many KILLED
Newport Torpedo Station Is
Scene of Explosion of Full
inmate of Mercury. Civilian
Employees Are Killed.

10y REVIEW Lc[Scu WIFI
NEWPORT, R. l., Jan 20. - Three
bomb-proofs at the naval torpedo sta
ton here were wrecked by an explos-
ion of illuminate of mercury late today.
At least eight civilian employees were
killed and seven were injured, one
probably fatally Ten others were
buried in the ruins of the heavily con-
GREETED structures and little hope was
expressed that many of them would be
removed alive. Captain Edward L.
Beach. commandant of the station.
said that none of the survivors wac
able to give an account on what had
, happened but there was no doubt, he
asserted, that the explosion was acct
dental
The explosion occurred in bomb
proof No. 2, used as a drying room for
detonators after they have been filed
with illuminate of mercury. The deton
ators are designed for setting on the
high explosive in torpedo heads.
Only enough explosive is kept on
hand to meet the demands for the day
and the shelters are built for the most
part under ground, to localize explOs-
ions. There are eight bomb-proofs on
the island and today's explosion was
of sufficient force to wreck only Nos.
l, 3 and 5.
That the loss of life in the bomb
proofs was not greater was due to the
fact that at noon about half of the US
ual number of employees in the three
shelters had been transferred temporar-
lily to another department
I Nearby Buildings Not Hurt
The big shops where hundreds of
workers are engaged in the manufac-
tire of the navy's torpedoes are locat-
ed only a few hundred feet from the
shelters. One building devoted exclu-
sively to women workers was but a
hundred feet away. The terrific con-
cussion threw most of the girls into
Mysteries. and many of them tainted.
The discipline Of the large force of
marine guards and seamen on the is
land was up to the best traditions of
the service Led by Captain Beach.
the marines and bluejackets attacked
the heap OF demolished masonry and
timbers even before the flames were
put out Some of the dead were badly
mangled and were extricated with diff
/ ficulty from beneath heavy concrete
/ blocks.
1t was reported at first that scores
of girls employed in the shops had
been killed and the excitement among
their relatives here ran so high the
guards had difficulty in handling them.
Ruins Searched
Late tonight a rescue party heard
I voices in the ruins of No l bomb
proof. A pipe was sunk TO the spot
and il was learned two men were alive
They were given stimulants and nour-
ishment through the pipe and der
rick was impressed into service to re
lieve the heavy debris over them BY
midnight ten bodies had been recov-
cred. Eight of them were Identified
The two men discovered alive in No
l bomb-proof died before they could
be reached. The bodies were recog
nized 1t was believed that at least
/ three more bodies were in the ruins.
