a military decision over the Germans

the German people will stand for the
slaughter of their men is another ques-

their firSt-line trenches. But later In
the night the British counter-attacked
and regained all that had been lost.
Two Hun divisions carried out this at
tack and they suffered heavy casual
ties. On Thursday morning the enemy
made a new attack on the Flanders
front north of KENNEL and slightly
bent the British line. AT the same time
troops from Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick made a great raid on the
German outpost line at Neuville-Vitas-
Sc southeast of Arras, taking prison
ers and guns and inhicting many cas-
ualtles.
Most of the American troops that
have been moved into the battle re-
gion appear to be placed along the line
between MOntdidier and Noyon, and
they are giving a good account of them
selves there, as are also those hold
ing the Toul sector. There have been
no heavy operations in either sector
recently, but the artillery in both is
always active and the American gun
ners have proved their excellence. They
are now using their heavy artillery
northwest Of Toul after several weeks
of preparation The American casual
ty lists still relatively small, are in
creasing daily.

SAYS GERMANY SPARED
NEUTRAL COUNTRIES
National Liberal Also Tells Reich
stag Emperor Always Pursued
Policy of Peace.

BY the Associated Press.
AMSTERDAM, March 20.-Debate was
resumed in the German reichstag today
on the peace treaty. DR.. Gustav
Stresemann, national liberal, eulogized
the policy of peace, which. he said, the
emperor always had pursued. He de-
plored that, while Great Britain op-
pressed neutral countries and Germany
spared them, Germany's circle of
friends was not increased. He regretted
the renunciation of Russian war in
demnity.
DR.. Stresemann interpreted the chan
cellor's words. in which he put the re-
sponsibility for the coming battles on
the enemy, as meaning that the enemy
also would bear the responsibility for
the change in the German policy re-
garding territorial questions and war
indemnties.
This was loudly applauded by the
right and the national liberals.
Count Won Westarp, conservative,
said:
I'VE demanded in the peace treaties
no war indemnity. and we have obtain
ed only small economic advantages.
in the coming peace treaties. A heavy
war indemnity ought to be imposed on
Rumania."

|TO TAKE ANY PROPERTY
Bill Submitted in Senate Gives Pres
ident Power Over Personal
or Real Estate.

Under bill sent to the Senate mill
tary committee by Acting Secretary of
War Crowell, the President would be
empowered during the war to take over
private property of any kind, personal
or real estate, with compensation for
the owner, whenever deemed necessary
for the national security or conduct of
the government.
The chief object of the legislation is
to enable the government to get quick
possession of real estate, office build
ings and other property needed in con-
nection with the conduct of the war.
In letter to Chairman Chamberlain
Mr.. CrowelI said it is desirable to avoid
delays of condemnation, to save money
and at the same time do justice to
property owners.
The bill provides that the President,
by proclamation or through any execu-
tive agency. might designate property
to be taken over. 1t would be appraised
and in case owners were not satisfied
they would be paid rs per cent of the
appraised value, and the federal district
court would decide disputes as to the
balance.

DESCENDANT OF PUTNAM
sGETS" TWO MORE PLANES

PARIS. Tuesday, March 19.-David f
Putnam of Brookline, Mass, a descend
ant of Israel Putnam and a member OF
the Lafayette Flying Squadron. has
just brought down two more German
airplanes. Putnam also has been pro-
NOTED to the rank OF sergeant in the
French army. He already has the war
cross with palms.
On the afternoon of March II Aviator
Putnam attacked three Albatross mono
planes, bringing down one and put
ting the others to flight The next
day he attacked two two-seated ma
chimes. one of which crashed to the
ground in flames. In each case putnam
was alone on patrol duty.
This makes four machines with which
Putnam is officially credited. although
he brought down a fifth machine on
German airdrome. This was not seen
by French observers and, therefore, was
not officially credited.

AMSTERDAM. March 20.-The Ger

Payer, has informed the reichgtag that
Prince Lichnowsky. who was German
ambassador at London at the outbreak
of the war, has written a letter to the
chancellor, declaring that a memo

policy of the German government. was
intended for the family archives and
was written without documentary ma
terial 1t was shown. on assurance of
absolute secrecy, to few trusted po-
litical friends.
The vice chancellor added that Lich-
nowsky meanwhile had resigned his
rank and that his resignation had been
accepted. AS he doubtless had no bad
intention and was simply guilty of
imprudence. the vice chancellor de-
clared. no further steps would be
taken. He then proceeded to contra

General should begin proceedings to

Timm did concede that he instructed

nomination of Col. Roosevelt for the
presidency in 1915, but denied that 1t
had any connection with the opposition
to President wilson's denomination.

Among the deeds of loyalty he cited
were the purchase by 1894 members in

The rank and file of the alliance. he

that Germans maintain race solidarity
in this country and opposed assimlla-

ICED by some of the members as an "ad-

CAMP AND CULTIVATE.
a Plan Proposed to House and Feed
the People.

To the Editor of The Star:
While ways and means of housing
and feeding the excess wartime popu-
lation of Washington are under discus
sion, would it not be well to consider
what they might do toward feeding
themselves, and how a practical plan
with that end in view might affect the
housing problem?
Whether we have a seven or an eight
hour day many who are living in rooms
or apartments have several hours every
day-and Sundays and holidays besides
which could be used to advantage IN
growing food. IL suitable arrangements
can be made. The problem is to lodge
these people where they can do such
work and still be convenient to their
regular work.
The custom of camping out or living
at the beach or in the woods in sum-
mer cottages can be adapted to war
gardening on considerable scale. On
farms convenient to car lines, and hav-
ing more land than the farmer can cul-
tivate, colonies of cottagers or campers
could be located. The farmer with his
regular help could do machine and
horse work, the tenants doing the
hand work. The tenants could work
for the farmer or the farmer for the
tenants. That is detail to be ar
ranged for each case, according to cir
cumstances.
The plan is not limited to land now
worked on farms. 1t can be applied to
any tillable land accessible to persons
working in the city
| There are a good many thousands of
men and women now in Washington
with leisure hours hanging heavy on
their hands who could employ fifteen
to twenty-five hours a week growing
vegetables With the work suitably
| organized they could do it both eco
| nomically and efficiently For tenn
porary housing this plan has some de-
cided advantages. What family would
| pay for rent or a group of single per-
| sons who camp together would pay for
| rooms in the city for the period it
| could be used would buy a pretty de-
cent summer cottage
| Unless some such plan can be put into
| effect Washing gton will be overrun this
summer with people, willing enough to
| give all their spare time to useful pro-
| duction, but through force of circum-
stances compelled to while it away in
and sightseeing.
