VETERAN OF
ITALIAN WAR
IN BISMARCK

-Sebastine Tort, vino claims that he
fought % months in the foremost
trenches of the Italian army without
sustaining scratch but was honor
ably discharged at the end of that
time because of i'll health, is in Bis
marck selling plaster of Paris images
and other wares common to his coun'
try. Sebastino was in Des Moines, Ia,
when his country called him two years
ago. He possesse a remarkably ac-
curate knowledge of affairs at the Ital-
ian. front, and there would seem to
be no reason for doubling his story
that he is one of the first real veter-
ans of the Italian campaign to return
to this continent.

studied and reduced to standards in
the same way. Everything Is calcu-
lated for quick. economical. durable
construction. Each separate dwelling
will have its bathroom, heating, light
Ing, and kitchen equipment. More
over, great pains have been taken to
avoid any appearances of standardlZa-
tion or mOnotony In exterior design.
Only the materials and inside ap-
polntments have been reduced to
standards while exterior lines and or
nament may be modified according TO
local conditions TO secure individuality
and beauty. That Is not all.
The plans have been drawn for these
individual family cottages with the
idea Of permnncnce. In so far as pos
Slble, they will be erected ut shipyard
sites which are fairly certain to be per.
manent. Single men are free to move
TO temporary employment for the war
and dlsperse II shipynrds are aban-
doned when peace comes. Married
men with families cannot do this, Of
course. so they will be assigned to the
permanent yards as fast as possible
with the expectation that they may
live there for years.
The plans take into account not only
the provision Of homes for them when
they are shifted into shipbullding to
meet the war emergency, but the pur-
chase Of their own homes on Install

and bring up family.
Present estimates indicate that the
fnmily houses can be erected for con-
slde1bly less than $1,000 ench. This
does not include the cost OF land, nor
has that been figured In the building
Of community houses for single men.
The major part Of this grent build
Ing program will have been completed
by the 1st OF July. Some Idea OF Its
magnitude mny be given by compari-
son with other building operations. On
peace time basis nn equal Invest
ment would build five Wo0lworth
buildings or two Equitable buildings.
Hearing for All Corners.
Naturally, the magnitude Of build
ing program like that and the prompt
ness with which II must be carried
out appeals TO the imagination not only
Of the shipyard workers who are to
live In these dwellings, and the Ameri-
can citizens who are Interested In
them as part Of our war program. but
20 many persons who wish to assist
with advice, plans, inventions, and
special schemes and devices for speed
Ing up the Job. To the offices where
this program is being carefully laid
out have come In the past few weeks
men with all sorts OF proposals for
the building Of houses and dormItories
In record time, and Of many kinds of
emergency materials and construction.
Those having the project In hand have
given hearing to all comers. and
moreover. gone afield themselves TO ir-
vestigate promising new methods. In
the ond, however, ns the outcome of
careful Investigation and plans. these
shlpyard dwellings will be erected
pretty much on standard lines Of tried
and proven materials with all elements

Gerard's Use Of German.

A correspondent of the Westmin-
scr Gazette sends to that paper his
iapressicn of American Ambassador
.;rrard's use Of the German language
rs it sounded TO him in Ruhleben.
Heard from the back of the room,"
h. writes. "the speech did, no doubt,
s,n.nl nk. tme rican, with variations;
hvi listeners in the foreground de-
cl,rei that both grammar and vocabu.'
l"ry were accurate. The sentences
were, for GermaA sentences, rather
short. One was not kept waiting an
Aiuusly for the verb, us for difficult
catch in the long field; nor was the
verb announced, in the German style,
By the premonitory rumblings OF semi
detached propositions. But the flow
of words was easy, and all the points
wt:e made, and the only effect of the
pecuiiarities Of the ambassadors &C.
cent was to inspire the deputation
with fuller confidence in his goodwill

Billie got busy and began laying up
