BUILDING HALTED
. BY LACK OF LABOR

A. scarcity of labor, together with
a shortage OF materials, is holding
back the building program OF the
District, according to the annual re-
port Of Municipal Architect Snowden
Ashford, which was submitted today
to the District Commissioners.
Ten buildings were under con-
struction- during the last year, and
a total of slightly more than a quar-
ter of a million dollars was spent
in new construction. Appropriations
for several school buildings, author
lied nearly two years ago. are un-
spent because il was found impoS-
sibIe to secure bids within the
amounts allowed by Congress
Chief among the new buildings
constructed is the municipal fish
wharf and market. in Water street.
between Eleventh and Twelfth streets
southwest This market was COM
pIeted last July at a total cost OF
slightly more than $4,000. School
construction was limited to the
building of the Elizabeth v. Brown
School, Connecticuat avenue, between
Mckinley and Northampton streets
northwest, at a cost OF $6s,772.S6.
other building work consisted prin-
cipaIIy of additions to present struc-
lures and the erection of garages for
District automobiles.
The report recommends that the
present frame buildings at the District
workhouse be encased in brick walls
as soon as possible. thereby permit
ting the use OF the present structures
until more permanent and comfort
Sbls buildings are completed

FEET'NTO SWAMPS
By JEAN KNOTT

, Knocked down by a heavy wind
storm 5000. feet in the air and forced
to land in the EVergIsdes Of Florida,
where, exhausted and starving. he
was rescued BY Seminole Indians.
were among the recent experiences
OF Lieut.. walter L @. Smith, of the
Photographic detachment at Carlstrom
Field, War Department records made
public today reveal
Lieutenant Smith, who had under
taken the work OF photographing q
shorter line of flight over the Ever
glades to Fort Meyers, had reached an
altitude Of 1000 feet above the great
swamp when he observed q storm ap-
preaching from the south Unable to
get around It by changing his course,
he started to climb, AT 5000 feet,
,howeVer, he encountered q terrific
wind from the north, which tossed
the plane first on one wing and then
on the other and forced q hazardous
landing.
Describing the territory In which
he was forced to earth the aviator,
who was accompanied by Sergeant
OConnor, as q passenger, says:
'"The sameness OF the Everglades Is
almost appalling-just one small
cyprus hummock after another; water
and muck everywhere: innumerable
mosquitoes, alligators. water mocca-
sins and black snakes The mos
quitoes attacked US In swarms. Mean
while we could drink no water for
fear It might be infected. After spend
ing a miserable might we started to
drill through the knee-deep mud and
without food. We were compelled to
spend the night again in the swamp,
sleeping on ground covered with
water. By this time we were so
nearly exhausted that we took a
chance on the water, but we were ap-
preaching starvation.
"The next morning we resumed our
way through the muck and finally
sighted q hummock upon which was
a camp inhabited by Seminole In
dams. By sign language we ac-
quainted them with our needs. After
being given food, we managed to
make them understand that we wish
ed to reach Miami. We were poled
in a glade boat through a perfect
maze Of waterways and reached the
dredge at the end of the Tampa
Miami trail, where we were given
food and a bed. The next day a motor
boat took US down the canal, where
we hired a motor to take US to the
hying held at Miami"

.STRAUS URGES ALL
TO AID PRESIDENT

Nathan Straus, the great New-York
merchant and philanthropist, has
given out a statement through Homer
IS. Cummings, acting chairman Pf the
Democratic National Committee, to
the effect that it would be a national
calamity at this time not to support
the President by electing a Demo-
.cratie'House and Senate. -.
. His telegram follows:
"our President and his able asso-
ciatess have carried the couDIry sue
cessfully through -perilous times and
the most important problems that
have ever been before the world still
confront them. 1t would be a national
calamity not to elect a Democratic
House and Senate apd deprive the
Administration of our united support
Any one discussing politics at this
critical time and for selfish partisan
reasons trying to weaken our prestige
before the world commits "a heinous
crime. NATHAN STRAUS."

WALCOTT URGES
POLITICS CEASE

Frederic c. wolcott. of the United
States Food Administration. who has
just returned to Washington from
official conferences with the allied
military and political leaders. e~-
pressed himself as shocked at the
political disturbances here"
Mr.. walcott, who two and half
years ago accompanied the German
army in Poland. and who has since
scored the German methods practiced
in that starving country. appealed
in an interview to the American peo-
pie to set aside their political diff
ferences for the duration of the war.
During his tour Mr.. Walcott visited
England, France, Italy, and Switzer-
land.
Il have just returned from Europe"
he said. where u have spent many
months during the last three years
on official business. and although
Republican, l am genuinely shocked
at the political disturbances here,
which will be misunderstood in Eu-
rope and seriously threaten to dis
tract the American people at the
most critical period of the war.
'If the people at home could look
on at close range and see this drive
that is pushing the Hun back to his
own frontier-see what II costs in
life and suffering and human energy
If they could realize to what ex-
tent our troops are fighting for an
ideal and how, a decisive victory de-
pends upon one thing-'team play
There is no time now for being hy-
persensitiye. There is only one thing
worth while; only one thing of vital
Importance; to present an absolutely
united front and work increasingly
for that unconditional surrender
which must come. which is absolutely
assured but which may be delayed
days, weeks, or months by our quib-
bling and cost thousands of lives
Therefore, let US set political diff
ferences to one side until the Hun
admits he is beaten, then we can vent
our family differences to our hearts
content. 1t may do US good at the
right tiTne. but now ,itPeparable harm.
The war has developed US and welded
Us into a great. nation. Let US prove
this to the world Let us continue
this unity of command to the end"

SAYS DEMOCRATIC
VICTORY ASSURED

Adviees today from every State, ac-
eording to Homer S. Cummings, act
ing chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, point to a sweep
ing Democratic victory.
His statemen is to the effect that
the Democratic majority in the Sen
ate will be increased and that the
party will control the House OF Rep
resentatives.
He denounces Republican leaders
In attacking President Wilson and
for their plan to reorganize the
House and Senate IL successful in the
election. He said:
'Our advices from every State
point to a sweeping Democratic vic
tory. The Democratic majority In
the next Senate will be Increased and
we Will control the House of Repre-
sontatives by a substantial majority.
Reliable estimates of net gains by
the Democrats in the House of Rep
resentatives range from thirty to
sixty. The tide is running strongly
in our favor, especially in the Middle
West and far Western States, with a
pronounced drift toward Democratic
candidates in every State.
Republican leaders, in attacking
, President Wilson, have said they
would reorganize the House and Sem
ate II successful in the election, and
place new men at the heads OF COM
mittees.
Senator Smoot would head the
Appropriations, and Senator Penrose
the Finance Committee in the SEN
ate; Senator Lodge, as chairman OF
the Foreign Relations Committee,
would round out q notable triumvir-
ate Of the Presidents supporters
Comment on these names is just as
superhuous as comment on the fact
that Senator Norris of Nebraska
would head a Republican railroads
eommittee, Senator La Toilette a Re-
publican manufactures committee,
nd Senator -Gronna a Republican
zgric0lture committee.
Senator Warren, who would head
| the Military Affairs Committee. has
eeen quoted as saying, The President
hin<s he q President Of the whole
Eorld'-thfs In the midst Of delicate
nternational situation"

Our policy Is to make men, not to
break them InNtlmes OF panic great
injury and injustice are often done
to innocent persons, and we try to
keep our heads.
I'VE would, not allow injustice to
be done to an old, trusted and valued
employe,' even though he was born
insGerriany. The results speak for
themselves. Mr.. Embie. referred to
as the special example in the Hughes
report, has ibeen with US a little over
twelve years and he is a most able
and excellent engineer and has al
ways given perfect satisfaction.
Not one word of fault could be
found by DR.. Hughes or any one else
with regard to Mr.. Embie's actual
work We in the plant know he
