HOUSING
PLANS RUSHED TO
ENDPROFITEERING

Prompt steps to puncture the
'profiteering boom" in Washington
are to be taken by the housing div
isfon headed by Otto Eidlitz. follow
ing passage OF the housing bill by the
Senate. This bill has been passed by
the House and soon will be a law.
The housing division. with $4,000
900 at its disposal in Washington, is
getting ready for a huge building
project to provide housing for thou
sands OF employees. Officials are con-
fident this will so ease the housing
situation as to leave the yprofiteers
flat.
Sites for Buildings and their size,
style and grouping have not been
finally determined upon. Many plans
and sites are under consideration.
The sites range from the ground In
Potomac Park and along the Mall to
big estates in nearby suburban sec
tions in the northwest and northeast.
Experts have been at work far weeks
on plans ranging from community
buildings to grouped individual cot
tages. Sites selected must have ample
water, sewerage, light and transpOrta-
ton facilities.
The health AID housing division Of
the War Department is taking action
in hundreds OF cases OF alleged profit
eering under the soldiers and sailors
act, and the landlord and tenant laws.

tired and would like to stop. The
world probably has some way to
travel before 'he right peace
comes. But it is pleasing to learn
that the result Of the latest great
drive by the all-highest ends with
another peace proposition.
Gladly he would say, let me
keep a reasonable part Of what l

ders,I and I'll gladly go home"
A brief Associated Press dis
patch received late last night
brings news Of interest, and en-
tightening:
A savage German attack launch
ed against American troops near
Villers-Bretonneux was repulsed
with heavy losses for the enemy"
The German fire against the
Americans was very intense and
lasted two hours"
The German officers doubtless
believed then that they had quelled
the spirit Of the "green" Ameri-
can troops.
The infantry charged the Ameri-
can line only to be driven back,
leaving the ground covered with
German dead in front OF the
American positions"
That is the kind OF news that is
perhaps not printed in Germany.
But 1t causes thinking in Ger
many.
And when the German high
command reads Of this country's
determination to land three million
men in France this year and two
millions more as soon thereafter as
possible, the outlook is>not pleas
ing from the German side Of the
Rhine.
Ten million young men to send,
fifty billions of dollars to feed,
arm and clothe them-and the
young men of the kind that after
short training endure two hours
Of cannonading and then fight and
kill.
Germany used to say the Green
Yankees will be easier to deal with
than the bolsheyiki" She knows
that was a mistake.
The young American fighter is
going to win this war-and your
money invested in the bonds OF
your country, will fight with him
until he wins.

PLEA FOR EARLY XMAS SHIPPING
American Railway Express Officials
Join With Council of Defense in
Plea for Early Shipments ~

Suggest December 10th as the final
shipping date. .r..
President D. S. Elliott, in
charge of traffic for the American Rail
way Express company, has informed
all operating officials and agents of
the express organization throughout
the United States, that it is the pur-
pose Of the company to uphold in ev-
cry way the request Of the council Of
defense that Christmas express ship
ments be started on their way by De-
cember 5th.
| A concerted effort will be made in
every city and town of the country by
the $4,000 express employees, to en-
phasize the Importance Of preventing
any possible congestion Of transpor-
tation facilities during these critical
times. Although the express facili-
ties are very elastic, so much of the
equipment is now used for strictly
war purposes, that all gift shipments
livered to the express company not
later than December 5th, and for short
hauls not later than December 10th.
This will allow ample time for. sort
ing and delivering before Christmas
day.
1--WE wish to emphasize strongly"
said Mr.. Elliott, "the point raised by
the council of national defense, that
nothing should be forwarded which
will interfere with essential war bust
ness. Just now the movement Of
equipment and supplies for the over.
seas forces is heavy and exacting, and

there should be no domestic burdens
placed upon transportation, which
would tend to lessen the delivery Of
war shipments.
''Also during the winter months
there is tremendous movement OF
food stuffs to all of the larger cities
These foodstuffs are perishable and
next to war shipments must be given
first consideration. .t

where to bring these points before our
patrons, and to emphasize more
strongly than ever the vital import.

Mrs. George, Of this city, and she has
kindly given us the letter for publica
