Pro6teering Curbed.

Step number one to protect the renting public OF
Washington from the grasp OF the pro6teering
landlord and property has been taken with
the signing last night OF the Salisbury antievicton
measure by the President.
1t is true, Senator Salisbury, author OF the
measure, admits, that the bill is shotgun pre-
scrption" designed to shoot at everybody in order
TO hit somebody. 1t is also true that it marks the
beginning OF what is to be the final adjustment
OF rents. The Pomerene- Johnson anti-pro6teering
bill, pending the passage OF which the Salisbury
resolution was enacted and passed. will more
eqmtaoly and satisfactorily adjust the matter of
rents, both to the landlord and tenant
This stop-gap resolution has OF course its bad
points 1t continues the present high rental prices
but at the same time prevents them from soaring
any higher. 1t does not stop landlord or proporty
owner from demanding and obtaining an exhorbi-
tant rent from dwellings buildings now unoccu-
pied
1t does, however, put immediate stop to the
threatened ousting of thousands OF war workers
and others who have recently received notices to
vacate their rooms, apartments or houses This
IS the one desirable feature of the BILL 1t lifts
load OF worry from the small renter who could
only with difficulty find other quarters at price
anywhere near in proportion with his income
The most undesirable feature of the resolution
IS that 1t prevents honest, patriotic landlords and
property holders from rcrentng property which they
leased several years ago and upon which the leases
soon run out, at a price which would enable them
to keep pace with increased operating and mante-
nance expenses. There are in Washington TODAY
quite number OF buildings for which leases were
written years ago in terms far out OF keeping with
the present high maintenance cost.
The argument that the Salisbury resolution
would hinder building operations has been brought
forward many times. But so far there has been
no supporting evidence from anyone on this sub
ject. The only hope that exists in the minds of
many that the measure will be shortved will be
that some court will declare it Unconstitutional

Fortunes Helping Hand.

Representative Edward f. Holland of Virginia,
remarked at a social gathering at Washington that
things do not always turn out the expected way,
and told the following story example:
Some time ago elderly gentleman was travel
ing a Southern train when he became engaged
in conversation with younger in the seat
beside him. Eventually the talk led to personal
experiences.
"Once | was clerk in a grocery store at $40
week., said the younger man, speaking of his
earlier life, "but, like many others, | fell in with
careless companions and induced to gam
bic"
a see! sce!" interjected the elderly one with
a sigh. You gamblcd and was tempted to take
money that did not belong to you"
"Oh, no." was the cheerful rejonder of the
younger man. 81 enough in month to buy

A Rupture in the Line!

The Berlin official statement of last night re-
ports break in the French line and the initiation
of flanking movement which will the
northern armies.
Earlier in the day there reports OF a con-
soidation of the German offensive in the Rheims
Scissors district and the MontdierNoyon salient
which would mean, doubtless, that the Germans
were preparing to exert pressure against the allied
line from Arras and Rheims, with Paris the OBJ
jectve.
Berlin is carefully guarding against the optimism
which led to the costly and empty extravaganza of
boasts last March, when the opening of "the
Kaisers battle" proclaimed from the house
tops, and both the certainty and the imminence
OF decisive victory press-agented in the char
acteristic Teutonic fashion The futility of the
Hindenburgian strategy in the past two months has
led the German press to be cautious, for there is
a certain danger in bouying up the public with
hopes and with promises that cannot be fulfilled
Paris does not conceal the still formidable char
acter of the German stcam-roller, which is not yet
halted, although it has reached the Marnc. APP
parently, the office believes that as long as the
enemy is strongly held on both flanks, the swift
advance in the center is not of grave import The
taciturH Foch still stays his hand. He is content
to know that the Germans have struck snag just
beyond Scissors; that Rheims is being stubborny
and brilliantly defended. As long as the main
power OF the Teuton blow is directed southwark
Foch await the unfolding OF the Ludendorf
plan.
Is the German high command striking for Paris
or is it aiming solely at outflanking the French
armies on the western elbow of the line? There
was a suggestion in the German official statement
last night that Paris is the goal The rupture in
the French line is reported at a point which natu-
rally invites to thrust at Paris. break through
at Rozoy compromises the integrity OF the entire
allied position. 1t remains to be seen, however,
just what value attaches to the reported rupture.
Nothing in the French British communicates in
dcates the presence OF any new danger in this
zone of operations.
1t is clear that Foch believes in the waiting
game; that he is not going to throw a single re-
serve into the combat until he is clearly forced by
prudence and by proper defensive strategy to do
so. Our confidence is undimmed that at the proper
moment the Germans will be stopped and stopped
as effectively as they at Amiens or at Mont

Landlords and Babies.

London is already facing a contest between her
landlords and her war babies.
In spite of the disapproval of landlords children
will continue to get themselves born. 1t is yet
considered good form to kill off those so unfortu-
nate to arrive meath apartment house roofs. All
the most vengeful landlord do is to hustle out
the parents 'and baby and hang a neat sign, at the
house entrance-"No Children Allowed"
As direct result of the war many young wives
of professional and business who lost their
lives wrecked their health at the front find them
selves forced to a living for their children,
themselves, and often, for disabled husband.
There is no lack OF employment. What is lack
ing is proper place and provision for the care
of the war babies, the small children they must
leave to go TO their work.
One young mother in a government office re-
ported she had been "hounded out OF her lodgings
and refused again and again at other places because
Of her children" She could not leave them at
home, could she take them to her work.
To relieve the condition chain of day nurseries
is being established where these babies may have
proper food and the watchful OF trained nurses
Day nurseries for the children OF working moth
ers are compromise, not solution of the problem.
What is needed in England-and will be needed
in America as WELLS some municipal or govern
mental regulation OF the powers of landlords to pre-
vent the eviction of tenants who have the patriot
ism to become parents
Jersey City takes this position:
Landlords who discriminate against tenants with
children will have to pay more taxes after this if
James F. Cannon director of revenue and finance,
finds it out.
"If families are to be annoyed because they have
children" Cannon said, "the city administration will
adopt retaliatory measures. l shall raise the tax
valuations of such landlords to the limit. The
baby hating landlord will have to pay more taxes"
