rotor plant, TIE X-Ccl-All factory. the
new Merchants Bldg. Co.'S store build

AMERICAN CASUALTIES
GREATEST IN ONE DAY
Fifty Three Killed in Action Of
153 Named in List Sent
by Pershing.

The steadily increasing participa-
tion Of American troops in the fight
ing in France was sharply marked in
today's casualty list. OF the 153 men
named. So, including three officers,
were killed in action, the heaviest
death roll from the battlefield yet
made public.
Probably no particular action is re-
sponsible for the number of killed.
1t is an accumulation from the five or
six sections Of the, front where
Americans are fighting. and from
patrol actions. as we'll as from larger
operations, like the attack yesterday
near Chateau Ti1ssrry to rectffy the
lines. Great care is exercised in for
warding the lists not to reveal the
losses in any particular engagement.
The British take similar precau-
tions. yet their casualty lists last
week passed the 10000 mark. During
tho week. SO far as known, the Brit
ish were involved in no major opera
tions except on the Italian front.
A comparison of the American and
British lines, however, in some
measure forms gauge of the limited
extent to which the United States
has a yet been able to bring its
power to bear against the German
invaders.

HIGHER RATES REFUSED
TELEPHONE COMPANY
Temporary Relief Not Granted
While Issue of Automatic sys-
tenn Is Being Investigated.

Temporary relief to the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company ir
the form Of higher rates, pending a
situation. will not be granted by the
public utilities commission.
With the commission preparing to
go into the question Of the practica-
bility of the installation of automatic
telephones in the District. the tele-
phone company, it is understood, has
applied for temporary relief, to be ef-
fectlve until the utilities board thor
oughly has probed the matter and de-
should be granted.
This the commission has refused to
do. The policy of the board is to con-
tinue with its inquiry as rapidly as
possible, but take no action until the
record is complete.
The commission has ANNOUNCED a
hearing for Tuesday, when it is to
confer with experts of the United
States bureau of standards as to the
advisability of Installing automatics.
There is some doubt, however. as to
whether the hearing will be held, as
the government department repre-
sentatives have indicated they may
not be ready to go on the stand at
that time.
Commissioner Brownlow, chairman
of the commission, was in conference
today with F. A. Wolf, e. B. Rosa.
B. L. McComer and P. D. Agnew of the
bureau of standards, in regard to
plans for the hearing Tuesday. He
said it would not be known before
Monday whether the session could be

SITE FOR HOUSING
. NAVY YARD LABOR
Vacant Land on East Capitol
Street Practically Chosen
for Big Project.
SO, 900, 900 MAY BE SPENT

The Department of Labor, it is un-
the purchase of vacant land lying be-
tween 18th and 18th, E and East
Capitol streets southeast, as a site
for the erection of housing accom-
modations for navy yard employees.
Those in touch with the housing
situation here feel that the need for
relief for the navy yard workmen is
problem Of the clerks in the execu-
tive departments. 1t Is likely that
the Department Of Labor will lose no
time in getting started on the navy
yard projects.
The navy yard is now employing
more than 5000 men. and expects to
reach a maximum force of $4,000.
The hundreds who have already been
brought to the yard from other cities
have taken up all available housing
in the southeast.
Small, Permanent Homes.
1t is understood that the bulk of the
navy yard projects will consist of
small permanent homes, which can be
rented to the workmen during the
war. After the war mechanics who
expect to remain will be given an op-
portunity to buy the houses.
The housing bureau also has con-
sidered some temporary structures
near the navy yard for mechanics
without families, but what decision
has been reached on this question Is
not known. It Is not likely that more
thov mn will n O wv
Tho East Capitol street site has an
advantage over other vacant tracts in
the southeast. being only ono mile
from the navy yard. The site also is
graded, has streets laid of through 1t,
provements installed. It Is within a
stones throw Of the site Of the pro-
posed new Eastern High School. The
East Capitol street car line stops at
18th street, two blocks away.
No Private Enterprise.
It is expected that both the navy
yard housing and the dormitories for
clerks will be erected by the govern
ment and not by private concerns on
loans from the government.
The Labor Department had consid-
cred a plan under which the govern
ment would advance 80 per cent of
the cost Of building projects to
private concerns willing to under
take them. Indications are that this
plan will not be followed.
The government, however, is con-
sidering making loans to the Y. NJ.
C. A. and the Y. w. c. A. to enlarge
their dormitory facilities in Wash
ington. For several months after the
outbreak of the war, when war
workers were fiocking to Washing
ton and the government had not yet
taken up the problem of housing
these employees. these two organiza-
tions placed hundreds of newcomers
in private homes. Even after the
room registration office of the Dis
trict Council Of Defense was estab-
lished the Y. NJ. c. A. and the Y. w.
C. A. continued to find quarters for
war workers.
The Y. M. C. A. contemplates erect
ing accommodations for $50 mon at
1924 to 1879 G street.

PANAMA ELECTIONS PUT OFF.
Government Given Time to Correct
Conditions in Two Cities,

PANAMA. June 22.-PresIdent Giro
Urriola, who succeeded to the presi-
dency after the death of DR.. Ramon
Valdez on June 3, has issued a decree
deferring for six months the elections
which were set for July. The reason
given for this action is that it will
permit the Panama government to
correct conditions in the cities OF
Colon and Panama and put into oper-
alton regulations requested by the
American military authorities. A
protest against the suspension OF
elections has been made to Washing
ton by the opposition political party
on the ground that the presidents
action is unconstitutional The
United States is asked to uphold the
Panama constitution in accordance
with the treaty.
The work of abolishing the opium
traffic, restricting the liquor trade and
placing vice under more stringent
regulations is now going on.
