Among the political leaders the re-
turn of Mr.. Lloyd Georges coalition
may command only a minority of the
votes on account Of the number of
candidates in the field. Elections
went by default in 107 districts on
nominating days because only one
candidate was put forward. Seventy
Of them were coalftioniStS.
There are 900 contested seats with

ASKSNEW BUILDING.
FOR NAVAL BUREAU
Admiral Schroeder Cites
Need of Proper Housing for
/ . photographic Office.

Recommendation is made in the an
nual report of Rear Admiral Seaton
Schroeder, chief of the naval hydro
graphic office. for the construction in
this city Of q building adapted to the
peculiar needs of that bureau. 1t has
long been recognized by all who have
had=epportunity to observe the opera
lions of the photographic office or to
use it's products. he says. that it
should be brought to 4 position of in
dependence of foreign sources for
maintaining the supply of charts and
sailing directions for vessels of the
Navy and of the mercantile marine.
The entry of the United States into
the war made such Independence, he
says, an absolute sine qua non. AL
though that result cannot be imme-
diately achieved with respect to re-
mote untraveled seas the hydro
graphic office, he says, has been def
initely brought to position of viz
tual independence and self support.
That position Admiral Schroeder says
viii now have to be maintained,
having been forced to il by the mex
orahle logic of war We cannot ROW
receGe.
Lease to Expire in 1923.
1t is for these and other reasons
that he advocates construction Of a
separate building for the hydro
graphic bureau. The present quar-
ters i'll the naval annex on New York
avenue, he says. are not adequate to
present and future needs and the
lease of those quarters will expire in
June. 1923. Suggestion is made of
possible consolidation of the bureau
with the United States naval obserya-
tory and the placing of the proposed
hydraulic building in the observatory
grounds on Massachusetts avenue.
Having in mind the permanence of
the office, Admiral Schroeder says that
estimates and plans for the proposed
building should be based on Il total
floor space of $4,000 square feet.
Speeial reference is made in the re-
POET to the inadeQuacy and inequali-
ties of the salaries paid the civilian
employees of the bureau and a read
