HOUSING PROBLEM IN GERMANY
VERY ACUTE.
All building Is Stopped n-the Big
Cities.


The Department of Labor author
ICES the following:
Housing is a serious problem in
Germany as we'll as in America, ac-
cording to the United States Depart
ment of Labor, which is about to
publish an account taken from offici-
al German reports. Building has
practically ceased in the great Ger
man cities. Only one-nints as many
houses were built in 1916 as in 1912,
and the houses are much smaller.
The total number of houses erected
in the As largest cities in Germany
was only ,0O9 during 1916 and still
less in 1917. The total number of
houses erected in all Germany was
much less than the number built in
any one of dozen American cities.
Building Only In MunitiOn TOWs.
In such cities as Berlin, Hamburg
and Frankfort building has long
since ceased. Only in the great war
towns is there any con-
struction of any kind. 1t is in these
latter towns such as Essen and Kiel
that there is any present shortage of
houses. The. war has depleted the
population of Berlin 4and Hamburg
| so that they do not suffer even
though they have less and poorer &C
commodations than formerly. So
| Germany has the spectacle of indus
discomfort, while her, great cities are
partly filled. In AK la Chapelle l
house in IL is idle; in Barmen, in
| 10; in Berlin, in 16; in Hamburg,
| which with its shipping and export
trade was a rapidly expanding hive
Of industry, over per cent of the
I houses are absolutely vacant; in
| Bonn, 4 per cent are idle; in Frank
fort on the Main, 5.3 per cent. No
new houses are built and the old
ones out, but the population is be-
ing depleted faster than the houses.
Crowded at Industrial Centers.
But while the cities stagnate work
men are packed in the great NUM-
ton cities. Less than l per cent of
4 the dwellings are idle in eight OF the
cities where war industries thrive.
Among these cities are Essen, Err
| furt, Kiel, Lubbock, Stettin, Braden-
burg, Konigsberg and Madgeburg.
/ Conditiops at Kiel are particularly
deplorable Only house in 500 is
vacant and the number of uninhabit-
able places is normally higher than
this. A.

It was in the year 1860 that he settled in Chicago.
 In Omaha, at about the time, were two brothers named Lumbard, both excellent singers. They were gifted not only with sweet. but with powerful voices. They had sung at intervals successfully in concerts and other en- tertainments. At the outbreak of the war they also moved to Chicago, where they were soon in great demand.

The first time the Lumbards sang "The Battle Cry of Freedom the young men from the throng in the court house square came forward by the dozen and signed the enlistment rolls. And so it continued to be day after day, and week after week, for months. The song sold all over the north as fast as the printing presses could turn out the sheets. It was sung by the minstrel troupes; it was sung by the soldiers at the front; it became the rallying song of the Union cause.
