imposed on Irene Brown, colorcd. and
James Newman. colored, both of whom
were found guilty of bringing liquor
within five miles of Camp NciGS.
These two prisoners were taken IN

To Go to Senate Today.

senator Reed, the chairman of the
committee. expects to report the reso-
luton and the recommendation of the
committee to the Senate later today
1t has been suggested during the
hearings by Senator Reed that the
buildings on the Union Station plaza
be converted into hospitals for wound
ed and sick soldiers returning from
ABROAD, and 1T Is possible that such a
course will be adopted
TIE government is asking for s26-
100000 to construct hospitals. These
buildings are approximately 90 per
cent completed. and 1t is believed they
could be used as temporary hospitals
In any event, 1t is the purpose of
the committee to halt the hotel
project to house government workers
proposed for the Union station plaza
The committee does not believe that
in time of peace the government
should undertake to house it's en-
ployes in Washington or to operate
a hotel.
For Data on Employees.
Questionnaires to the various gov
ernment departments and bureaus
in Washington asking the number of
employees dismissed recently. the
number employed at present and the
number to be retained in the future
were ordered sent out yesterday
afternoon by the Senate public build
ings and grounds subcommittee in
vestigating the activities of the
housing corporation of the Depart
ment of Labor. The committee de-
sires this information to aid 1T in
determining whether to recommend
the immediate closing down of fur
Their work on the Union Station plaza
housing project, which it has been
estimated will house 1900 woman
government workers. The Senate
committee believes that II these
buildings are not very necessary to
relieve congestion here, then the gov
eminent should Immediately halt its
work on them. By doing SO it could
still save about 100000.

Troops Bring Peace.

The troubles ceased with the ap-
pearance of the troops yesterday. To-
day n Gordon of British forces was
thrown out from the city along the
Rhine.
Affairs in Cologne now are moving
smoothly, to all outward appearance.
Burgomaster Adenauer, however. told
the correspondent that the city was
facing starvation, as only one weeks
supply of food was in sight. Other
German cities, he declared. were in
equally dire straits, being unable to
obtain food quickly and not knowing
what might happen as the result of
the scarcity, while fresh supplies. he
declared could be obtained only from
the allied countries.
1--WE have been enemies, but for the
love Of humanity come to our aid
now" the burgomaster urged We
hemently.
At least one of the best known Co
logne hotels today was serving an ex-
cellent and plentiful luncheon. con
sisting of soup, fish. meat four kinds
of vegetables wines. cheese. bread,
compotes and fruit. 1t goes without
saving, however, that the possession
of food by this palatial hotel Is no
proof that the poor are not hungry
The actual situation could only be de-
termined by careful investigation.

facilities.

Suffered for Four Years.

CAS- far as have been able to gather
from the newspapers. England did not
believe that Germany was starving.
but the outside world cannot imagine
what the German population in the
big cities suffered during the last four
years. The soldiers were better fed.
but the civilians, especially of the
poorer classes. were undernourished.
The mortality through tuberculosis in
creased 800 per cent in Cologne, and
the infection from tuberculosis, even
among the better classes, was much
greater than this, due to undernour-
ishment and other war causes. The
women We're compelled to leave their
homes and work because their hus-
bands were fighting and their families
We're. therefore. neglected"
The German retirement has had the
effect of stopping traffic while the
troop movement is on. and 1t appears
impossible to get food into the city.
The British troops have established
themselves in various parts OF the
city and along the banks OF the
Rhine without untoward Incident.
The big bridges over the Rhine were
the meeting point of the two forces:
the British holding two-thirds of
each bridge and the Germans the re-
mainder.

Summary Of Epidemic in Army.
An official summary of the result of
the influenza epidemic in Army camps
and military centers In the United
States, made public by the War De-
partment today, shows that there
were 33s.257 cases of the disease up
to December /, with approximately
1000 deaths.
Because deaths resulting from infu-
enza and pneumonia were not sepa-
rately grouped, only approximate fig
ures were given for those due to the
epidemic. From September 13, the
date of the outbreak, to December J.,
1884 deaths from all causes were
reported by military stations in the
United States. Army medical authori-
ties estimate that about 1000 of these
were due. to causes other than influ-
enza and pneumonia.

Accepts Occupation as Hardship.

Cologne is accepting the occupation
as a real hardship. although the Brit
ish are being treated courteously.
The burgoma ster was particularly ag-
grieved at the proposed new rules
compelling the people to keep in their
homes between o'clock in the even
ing and o'clock in the morning, and
requiring the men to lift their hats
to the British officers. He declared
he would be unable to run the city If
business were allowed to be conducted
only during the hours thus specified.
However, he issued a proclamation to
the residents urging them to maintain
order and show civility to the British.
while still remembering that they
were Germans.
When the burgomaster's attention
was directed to the harsh treatment
of the people in the areas the German
forces had been occupying he declared
that Cologne had consistently opposed
the German doings in Belgium and
France. I'VE expect the English viii
be better" he added.
When informed that many OF the
newly evacuated districts were in viz
tuaI.y starving condition and that
aid was being rushed to the impover-
ished people he expressed much sftr-
prise Concerning the food situation
in Cologne he said:
