SHARON HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT COST

[Continued from First Page.1
At this juncture the whole pro.
posal was laid before the United
States Housing Bureau OF the De-
partment of Labor at Washington
and when the need of houses was
clearly shown the government sem
to Sharon an expert who looked over
the ground in order to verify the
findings which the chamber had
placed at the disposal of the
Offer to Cooperate
The result was an offer by the
government to cooperate in the So
luton of the problem. At first it was
proposed that the Sharon corpora
ton formed for the purpose should
put up twenty per cent. of the money
necessary for the development and
wovld retain that equity in the prop
erty, to be liquidated at the conclu-
sion of the war. This was finally de-
cided to be an unsatisfactory ar
rangement from the standpoint of the
government, due to disputes likely to
arise in the event of joint ownership.
and the Housing Bureau finally
agreed to put up s1,000.000 for the
erection of houses in Sharon.
This took the matter entirely out
of the hands Of the local Chamber of
Commerce and the housing corpora
ton, although both are cooperating
in every way for the early compile
ton of the enterprise along lines
satisfactory to both the local and
government authorities.

contained deep shell holes, which were
filled with water. In the heavy dark
ness men fell into these water holes.
Thoroughly drencheu, we continued
our march. No attention was paid to
obstacles in the way over which we
were constantly stumbling. Speed was
the only aim. Dead men and horses
lay in the middle Of the road, but no
one took pains to remove them.
At dawn we arrived at little VIII
lage, where we halted. We took pos
session and established as strong a
temporary defense as possible in the
time permitted. Our position was es-
tablished behind cemetery wall. New
troops continued to arrive, but all were
badly disorganized. Cavalry, mounted
artillery and machine-gun detachments
followed. These had some sort OF
formation and while there was some
disorder the panic, which character
lied the other units, was missing here.
They also showed evidences of having
suffered losses, but nothing in COM

rental rain had no tendency to tighten
our spirits. "They have directed the
slaughter Of thousands and now they
motor away" said one man, while we
lay here in a morass in the rain. I'VE
are not considered"
What we were to be assigned to do
had not yet been told us. We were left
lying in our swamp until ten o'clock
that night. The troops continued to
flow back in great disorganized con-
tingents. Machine gun companies
passed with empty wagons, having lost
their guns. The laundering of the
cannon gradually came nearer from the
west. The noise along the highways
became greater and a panic spread,
adding to the horrors of the night. Flu
gitives wandered around in the dark
ness through the streaming rain, trying
to lead their wives and children to
safety, only to find death under the
wheels Of the wagons. The wounded
were also mangled by scores; piteous
cries for help were heard everywhere.
Under the strain Of the traffic the
roads became badly broken up and all
along their sides abandoned vehicles of
every description lay.
We started forward at about three
o'clock in the morning and soon we
were with the rear guard. Infantry
regiments, now merely fragments of
choir for,,,or S%rcpcfb arrived in a
fearful condition. The soldiers had
thrown away their knapsacks and ev-
cry unnecessary article which might
be an impeachment to speed.

eral wagons turned over and others
became imbedded in the mud. The
horses were unhitched from these and
the wagons left behind. The wagoners
mounted these horses and drove on,
forgetting everything In one wild
pan1c-stricken race for safety.
An officer rode up and handed an or
der to our captain. We were halted
at field close to the road. There we
were permitted to stack our guns and
rest. AS we lay at this point we
watched the passing columns, field
kitchens, munition trains, sanitary col
umns and field postal wagons racing
by in one grand carnival of confusion.
Every wagon carried wounded men.
Their faces indicated clearly what tor
lures they were enduring as they were
bumped along over the unspeakable
roads upon heavy trucks. Still they
were anxious to go ahead at whatever
cost. They feared the fate which
would befall them should they fall into
the hands of their mercileSs enemy,
which would show them the same con-
sideration which they themselves had
offered in previous encounters, in
| which they took no French wounded
men prisoners.
Evening came on and with it tor
rental rain. We lay in the fields,
weary and chilled through, yet no one
of our unit moved, for we were ut
terly overcome by exhaustion. Artil-
lery detachments now began to arrive,
| but few of them had their required
number Of six guns. Many had only
three, others two, and few proceeded
with only one fieldpiece. At one time
a whole row Of about fifty gun car
riages passed without any guns mount
ed upon them whatever. These bat
teries had managed to- save their
horses, but were compelled to abandon
their guns to the French. Some car
riages were drawn by only two to four
horses instead of the required six.
There now passed before us some
fifteen magnificent automobiles, the ap-
pearance Of which won the admiration
Of everybody.
