Charles w. Fairfax Points to
Brilliant Future of the
Capital City.
POPULATION IS GROWING

In advising Washingtonians to buy
real estate now and during the coming
year, in order to share in the future
of this city, Charles W. Fairfax, presi-
dent of the Real Estate Brokers' AS
sociation, declared today that no other
capital city in the world promises
such brilliant future.
THE prosperity of this country will
be reflected in the rapid advancement
of Washington" he said. Here will
be attracted those interested in inter-
national affairs, educational develop
ment, industrial and commercial ac-
tivities, as well as governmental ex-
panSion by reason OF control of the
railroads, shipping, telegraph and tel
ephone systems. These new func-
lions will considerably add to our al
ready rapidly growing population,
creating d substantial demand for all
classes of real estate
He said the increased cost of labor
and material will necessitate builders
20 obtain higher prices for new build
ings, and such a condition will stabil-
.ze the value Of properties already
constructed. and create a further de-
mand for the same.

Profits Can Be Realized.

Mr.. Fairfax pointed out that the
wisdom of those who bought real
estate a few years ago has been
demonstrated by the fact that profits
can be realized in a vast majority
of cases. Thousands of owners oc-
cupying their homes are not influenced
% sell even at advanced prices, feel
ing that it will require an equal or
greater sum to duplicate the property
sold" he said.
1.-THE phenomenal demand for houses
made by the war workers the past
few months had tendency to ad-
vance prices" he said, only, how
ever, in such cases where possession
vas secured or obtainable. This was
justified in many instances by reason
of the expense and inconvenience sus-
aimed by owners in relocating. Prices
have not been increased on thousands
of properties, especially those unde:
lease and where possession cannot be
give until a later date.
"The public should avail themselves
of these opportunities before the de-
mand far exceeds the supply.

Plan to Treasure Benefits.

By the organization Of the associa-
lion the benefits which have accrued
to America through the operation o.
the boards will not be lost to the n -
ion. but will be treasured up in every
state and made as much a part of the
country's traditions as the Fourth of

Each local cha pter of the proposed
National Association of Draft Boards
would constitute patriotic society
which could we'll handle all future
celebrations throughout the land
which will be participated in by the
veterans of the great war. The reg

 President Wilson will lunch with President Poincare Saturday soon af- ter his arrival. Monday President Wilson will hold reception in the Paris city hall, to which many off cials have been invited.
 President Wilson will visit Italy, but no date has been fixed. A hun- dred invitations or more for the pres ident to visit various places in France and the allied countries are being re- ceived daily It is considered hardly likely that the president will attend great number of functions in Paris, as he will need all the time possible to attend to the urgent business which brings him to Europee.
