DEATH OF CLYDE BINGHAM

Clyde Bingham, a seventeen year
old youth, died in the Leavenworth
hospital last Friday night at 1880,
and was taken to Everson, Wash, for
burial last Sunday. His father and
brother came here on advice of his
death. Young Bingham enjoyed the
confidence and esteem of all who knew
him and is said to have been a most
worthy young man. He worked in the
Great Northern lumber mill in the
summer of 1917, and had the right
hand severed at the wrist. Mr..
Gardner, then manager of the mill,
took an interest in the young man and
had an artificial hand made for him
and promised him employment when
he recovered. He came here last sum-
mer and accepted employment by the
lumber company and was given job
in the lumber camps that he could
fill in the Chumstick valley. He
contracted the influenza some ten
days ago and was brought to the
Leavenworth Hospital for treatment.

Mrs. Howard Gould. one Of New
York's wealthiest society leaders. to-
day declares, after living in Washing
ton five days, that -she-cannot AFFORD to
live here on account OF the high cost
OF living.
Mrs. Gould, who Is well-known as a
social worker. came to Washington
to aid in the housing problem OF the
thousands OF girl war workers. To-
day Mrs. Gould said:
II a wealthy woman, cannot AFFORD
OF live in Washington and don't see
how the war workers can live here on
their meager incomes. One hotel
charged me 40 cents for one egg for
my breakfast. ! was charged 40
for one dozen fried oysters. That
was all ] ate for my lunch, the oys
ters. And 1 have to pay S25 a day
for a bed room, sitting room and bath.
Think OF those figures" said Mrs.
Gould. 'and then tell me how girl
war workers can afford to live in
Washington"
Mrs. Gould says she cannot afford
to give tips.
Because OF high prices ! have dis
continued giving tips for the period
OF the war" she said. "All the men
walters should be in the army, any
way. Women can easily fill their
places, and give better service, too"

TEUTONS PROMISED
GREAT OFFENSIVE

Ludendorff and the German mill
tary party at the height OF the Ger
man retreat are holding out promises
to the German people of a great
counter offensive, according to en-
tente dispatches.
The reports from the German gen.
eral headquarters to Berlin. the dis
patches state, are that Ludendorn has
the military situation entirely in
hand, and that his retreat is a stra-
tegic one for the purpose Of wearing
out Foch's reserves. 1t is intimated
that when this task has been accom-
plished it will be a simple matter for
the Teutons to sweep forward and
recover their losses.
Entente military experts here
point to the absurdity Of this expla-
nation for the German reverses, in
view OF the fact, as established by
entente and German tabulations. that
the German losses in the fighting
since July Is have been many times
heavier than those of the British.
French. and Americans.
Documents recently taken from
German prisoners disclose the star
tling fact that the German command
has been considering the reduction
OF the number of companies in a bat
talon from four to three.
The new German plan OF rear guard
defense with machine guns, II is de-
clared, has made IL possible for the
advancing allied troops practically to
wipe out German machine gun bat
talions.
