WAR SUMMARY
(Bv The Associated Press)

BY ne Associated IreSS)
Success has crowned further al
lied SmaSheS into the German lines
between Ypres and Rheims. For
more than two weeks the allies have
been jamming into the German de
fenscs here and there and the re-
suits now are just as favorable as
at the beginning.
! For the first time since the attri-
ton campaign was undertaken, the
! French have struck with force in
the Picardy field. Along the Avre
river, northwest of Montdidier, the
French advanced their lines more
than a mile on a front of three miles
and captured more than 500 pris
oners. This blow like the recent
ones by the British astride the
Somme, has driven the enemy back
on a sector vital to the defense of
Amiens, the objective OF the first
German offensive begun March q,
In capturing Castel and strong
fortified positions, the French have
advanced almost to the western
bank OF the Avre. Further gains
southwark toward Mailly Raineval
will endanger seriously the German
positions west of the Avre to below
Montdidier west of which the
Americans hold Cantigny. In an ad-
vance toward Amiens the Germans
would either follow the Somme or
go up the valley of the Avre, which
joins the Somme near Amiens.
Hun Gives up High Ground
Between the Aisne and the Marine
the Germans apparently still do not
take seriously the French gains east
OF the fonst of Nillers-Cotterets.
Several villages and fortified farms,
including Corey and Longpont,
were taken this week by the French,
but the Germans have made no
serious efforts to retake the posi-
tions and slowly are being forced
off the high ground
Bad weather continues on the
British front, especially hindering
the bombing activities OF British air
men.
The German artillery fire is
strong on the LyS salient. At Buc-
quyo, between Albert and Arras, the
British drove off German raiders.
of rain on the British |
front may hamper German plans, as
the battle grounds OF Flanders and |
Picardy are likely to turn into seas
Of mud. Rain has been intermittent
" falling on the British front for
five days.
Berlin now reports that the sixth
American airplane of the squadron
which was flying toward Coblenz,
was brought down. Thursday it an
nounced that FIVE out of six ma
chimes with their crews had fallen
into German hands.
Italian Success Vital.
Franco Italian success in Albania
has enabled the allies to establish a
battle line over a stretch
Of 200 miles from Saloniki to the
Adriatic. The Italians rapidly are
clearing up the territory taken from
he Austrians in western Albania,

not been improved. Lot 10. south of the
corner had been bought by Daniel
Brent, but was unimproved. and the
next lot on the south had been bought
by John Gardner and improved to the
extent of $4,000. In 1914 the corner still
belonged to John Ellis. and the east
half of the lot and the next lot on the
to John P. Van Ness. while the next
Burnes-Gales lot on the west had passed
to J. c. Hall. The next lot on the west
had been divided between H. Howison

the name of the heirs of John Gardner.
In 1874 John Ellis still owned the cor

In preceding narratives the Rambler
has dealt with number of the hotels,
inns or taverns which We're within the
boundaries of Washington before the
removal of the seat of government from
Philadelphia. and of a number of other
hotels that came into being here soon
after Washington became the capital.
But in this narrative his purpose is not
to dig so deeply into the dust and mold
of records. but to tell what he has been
able to recall or find out about few
old hotels which Washington people re-
member.
Two old hotel corners are those now
covered by Masonic Temple al the north =
west corner of F and 9th streets, and by
pany's building at the southwest corner
of the same streets Lying before the
Rambler is an address which Henry Z.
Davis delivered before the Columbia
Historical Society on November 4, 1901,
in which he presented some of his recol-
lections of the neighborhood of 9Th and
F streets. He told that at the southeast
corner of 9th and F was the residence
of George c. Whiting. at the northwest
corner tavern called the Model House
and at the southwest corner "the more
pretentious hostelry then known as the
Herndon House and later as the st.
Cloud" According to Mr.. Davis. the
Model House was bluish-gray brick
building. "The present Masonic Tenn

of this old tavern, and had almost for

Temple may still be found living

this lot had been bought by Henry S.
Davis: In 1870 the corner lot was in the
name of Georgianna l.. Force, the half
lot on the west in the name of Jacob Z.

the other lots that had been in the name
of Charles Lyon were now jointly in the
names of Georgianna L. Force.evident-
ly Georgianna Lyon Force-and Jacob
l.. Lyon, daughter and son of Charles
Lyon.
The Masonic Temple corner, where
the Model House stood, was in 1902
owned by James r. McDermott and was
assessed at S152. The next lot on the
west was owned by David Burnes'
heirs. There was no house on the north
side of F between 9th and 10th streets.
In 1907 James McDermotts heirs owned
the Masonic Temple corner and the
Burnes lot had passed to James Tharp
there. In 1880 the corner was owned by
Robert Brown and a building stood
there which was assessed at $4,000. The
Burnes-Thorp lot, on the west. was
owned by William Matthews; the next
two lots on the west, Nos. 3 and 4, were
in the name of the Catholic Seminary
and improved to the extent of $4,000;

The advertisements usually carried the
picture-a crude wood cut-of the st.
Cloud. The building on the corner was
four stories high and almost square.
Above the roof rose the familiar heavy.
old-fashioned chimneys Adjoining it on
the 9th street side was a three-story
building, and the words ''St Cloud" were
that building between the second and
third stories. The picture shows that the
hotel had an entrance on both the +
and the 9th street fronts.
The ST Cloud, like so many other
hotels and most mortals, had it's trou-
bles. and money was the main cause of
them-especially the lack of money. In

u\YII hands on the present and

the nation, they are looking also to-
ward the days that are to come. Hun
dreds of the leaders Of such men are in
Washington. They see the wreckage
that all will see when peace begins the
healing of torn and distraught world.
There is no statesmanship where there

the country is to be rehabilitated in its

itself into the minds of those who, as
Legislators and administrators, are car

Sl,0o0,00o.0o0 a year to maintain the
government of the United States. what
Will be the cost hereafter?

In every city and village two years
hence there will be homeless men and
dependent women and children-wid-
ows of Americans. widows of aliens,
and their little sons and daughters. 1t
will be a great multitude, a pathetic
multitude, and the nation, in one way
or another, must take care of them.
Three men, two of them senators, are
at work on the problem The senator's
are Charles Curtis of Kansas and Nor
ris Sheppard of Texas. Helping them
with his counsel is Thomas Nixon Car
yer, until recently professor of political
in agricultural economies to the gov
ernment in Washington. Their plan is
to establish colonies in all parts of the
country-colonies Of friends and ac-
quaintances. of races and of religions.
They would have idle lands turned over
by the plow or planted in orchards.
The pictures they see contain new viii
lagos, new factories and new railroads.
"The foundations of a nations
strength" Morris Sheppard says, "are
in the homes of the people. OF the 20,-
100000 families in this country, 11,000.-
600 are not living in homes of their
own. OF the 100000 who do. less than
100000 have homes that are free Of
debt.
