Private capital finds attraction in such investment anc without Government aid the workers would be likely to remain unhoused
 From the beginning of the growth of ship yard facilities and kindred institutions in Seattle the Government has shown no interest in any Federal housing projects here, though until recent days nc plain statement made of the Governments ders- ion not to invest money here in workingmens homes Local builders timd about entering upon budnp plans that might into competition with Gov ernmcnt construction It is therefore in the ture of relief to the situation that the Chamber of Commerce and Commercial Club has been notified that the Government will neither build nor loan money for building houses for industrial workers With Federal competition definitely out of consideration, Seattle will busy itself in building the homes that ed not only for emergent demand, but for the growing permanent population.
 There should be some local pride in the reflection that Seattle's growth and present demand for work mems homes are not of an evanescent nature, and that the Government regards Seattle safely in the class of growing cities that temporary construc- ton does the purpose. There is too, assurance of the Governments intention to con tribute to this end Here is located what is virtu- ally Government shipbuildng plant, occupying, in part, yards purchased by the Shipping Board with Government money and leased to progressive build whose war construction work has been the envy of the older yards of the East; and around this HWleuS CluSter olHeT SHlpydFuS WHoSe TecOTuS III building nave been above the average or the East It is plain that the Government intends to tinue the building of ships where they can be built to the best advantage.
 It should be clear, therefore that Seatte's pres ent demand for houses is of temporary a ture; that have to consider the existing growth of population permanent and build accordingly; that this should be done with local and private funds.
 There are indications that Seattle will meet this obligation fully, as it has met all the demands of growing city in the past. The congestion of the spring has relieved in no degree by the temporary summer camps. Houses and apartments more urgently in demand than in the spring and there are fewer of them in the market. The next few months should make record for con struction in Seattle.

THE GERMAN DEFEAT.

Twice since they converted a German offensive in to one of their the Allies have slowed down giving chance to reform lines, and twice they have resumed the offensive and beaten the enemy worse than he had been whipped before the respite from bullet and bayonet. Nothing could better H. lustrate the demonstrated superiority of the Allied forces the Germans in the Marne-Asne area than this resumption of the offensive and resumption of victories. The Allies have proved that they can whip the Germans.
 The first counter attack the Allies in the midst of terrific storm completely surprised the Germans. and surprised army always is at a disadvantage. But after they had fought the enemy and driven him backward until everybody tired, the Allies let for day so giving him opportunity to attack, and he did with strongly reinforced army. This stopped and followed by attack in which the Germans forced back again-this time beyond the Ourcq river. Then the offensive stopped for a time again, again giving the Germans plenty of time to prepare for defense offense and again he was attacked and again whipped than

 There is no mistake about it. The Germans have been defeated They forcd out of positions that were teeming with guns which taken, positions avishy supplied with all manner of ammunition and equipment and material of all kinds which were captured They have not the excuse that they used in the Marne defeat, when, they assert, they out of ammunition The defeated German army had all the supplies it could use and it left them behind 5000 more of their number, a considerable army in itself-as many the Englishmen who fought with Wellington and defeated the Great Ma poleon at Wateroo-were captured The Germans whipped.

 There can be no mstaking the impressiveness of these repeated drubbings under familiar to those who have followed the Associated Press story from day to day in The Empire The lesson to German commanders and the rank and file of their army has been learned.

 Fish.

WASHINGTON, Aug. g. - New markets for seafood are being devel- opcd by the Bureau of Fisheries of the Department of Commerce, as a meat conservation measure.
 Whalc meat from the Pacific coast-20, 900 pounds of it-recent- ly has been put on the Boston mar ket. The shipment was disposed of in ten days at a retail price of 5 cents a pound and was received with such satisfaction by householders who like to live both well and eco- nomically that preparations are be- ing made to assure a regular supply. Some of the meat was sold as far north as Portland, Me.
 On the Texas coast, a representa- tive of the Bureau is seeking to in troduce porpOise meat, which has been pronounced excellent by those who have tried it. The main diff eulty has been to make arrange ments of the fishing centers for sys- tematic shipments.
 Fishes from the Gulf are being sold in many cities through the Middle West, as the result of ship ments arranged by the Bureau. Car
