ADMIRAL Won DIEDERICHS,
DEWEY ANTAGONIST, DIES
Commander of German Squadron Oh
Manila During spanish-Ameri-
can War Passes Away.

! AMSTERDAM. March 11.-Admiral
Won Diederichs, commander of a Ger
man squadron off Manila during the
Spanish-American war and who clashed
with Admiral Dewey. the commander Of
the American squadron in the Philip
| pines, is dead at Baden Baden.
/ The friction between Admiral Dewey
| and Admiral Won Dlederlchs arose over
the German officers disinclination 10
observe the rules of the blockade estab-
lished by the American commander in
! Manila bay. Admiral Dewey insisted
| that the warships of the neutrals en-
| tering the bay should report TO the
/ Americans and was upheld in this con-
i tention by the British naval COM
| rnander. The Germans, nevertheless.
sought to evade the rule and on several
: occasions there was friction.
! IN book published by admiral Dewey
! in 1914. three years before his death. he
describes the fipal incident al Manila
bay. in part, as follows:
Vice Admiral Won piederichs was
unconv.noed when later the cor,no-
ran, which was an old offender Was
sighted coming up the bay, Flag Lieut..
Brumby was sent to make sure that
she stopped TO report, in keeping with
the customs of other foreign men Of
war. Bcumby first hoisted the inter
cate No attention was paid to this by
the Cormoran. Then Brumby fired 4
shot across her bows. which had the
desired effect.
ION the following day Vice Admiral
Won DiederichS sent a capable, tactful
young officer of the staff TO me with a
memorandum of grievances. When !
heard them through l made the most
of the occasion by using him as a third
person to state candidly and firmly my
in hal kn
conveyed to his superior so successfully
that Vice Admiral Won Diederichs was
able to understand my point of view.
There vas no further interference with
the blockade or breach of the etiquette
which had been established by the COM
mon consent Of the other foreign com
mandeTs.
Admiral Won Diederichs, commenting
OF Dewey's book, blamed the American
admiral for the clash and intImated
that it would never have arisen if
Dewey had protested officially about
the trivial Incidents.

D. c. HOUSING PROBLEM
UP IN HOUSE DEBATE
Attention Called to Report That
81 600 Additional Persons Must
Be Accommodated This Year.

| The housing problem in Washington
, has received consideration during de-
! bate on the floor of the House on the
legislative appropriation bill Atten-
ton was directed to figures in The Star
showing that $1,000 additional persons
are coming to Washington to be housed
before December 81.
The proposal was made for the gov
eminent to provide community houses
for the thousands of young women
who are coming here to take war-work
positions at s1.100 and 1920. A pro-
posal also was discussed for the gov
eminent to develop suburbs where de-
| tached houses with little garden plot
| would be provided for government
| workers and they should be given an
opportunity to buy these properties on
an easy-paymcnt plan.
During debate the speakers showed
That they are not certain rega riding the
PROVISIONS of the $50, 000, 600 housing bill
which has been faVorably reported by
the House committee on public build
lnsS and grounds, and for the consid-
Grafton of which a special rule has been
asked in order that as emergency leg
! lSiaton it need not wait its turn on
the calendar
opinions were variouSly expressed
that this bill provided for shipyard
employees only, and that it was pri-
marily to supply accommodations for
war workers in the District. To clear
the point it may be stated that this
plii does not specifically provide any
thing for housing facilities in Wash
lnston. # gives the Secretary of La
Dor authority to provide housing and
transportation facilities in the neigh
oorhood of any industrial plant en-
eminent. Under this broad authority
housing might be provided in the Dis
! trIct, but it was authoritatively stated
at hearings that it was hoped that in
large permanent communities such as
Washington private capital would pro-
vide needed accommodations.

auto MEN OPPOSE
WAR BOARD ORDER
Do Not Like
Attempt To CariaiI Sup
ply Of Materials.

Washington, July iS.-A bitter fighf
is developing between the automobile
industries and the war industrie;
rboard, as a result of the government ;:
determination to eurtail supplies tc
these manufacturers.
Officials declared today that repre-
lsentatives of the automobile industry
threatened panic and disaster if the
conservation plans were put into effect
They also declared tho auto men threat
ened to make campaign issue of the
question and predicted dire political
consequences.
Officials say the auto industry was
warned a year ago and should have
prepared by this time for the output
reduction now inevitable.
Manufacturers of passenger autos
have been asked by the war industries
board to furnish in the next week OF
ten days a statement of the amount of
steel on hand.
This followed conferences between
the board and Hugh Chalmers, vice
president of the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce.
Manufacturers have asked for
enough steel to found out stock on
hand. They have unbalanced stocks suf
ficient to enable them to operate sew.
eral months. The government is pre-
pared commander these stocks if
need arises. This is the first non-war
industry in which the government has
checked up on supplies of steel on
hand.
1t is in line with the policy of OBJ
tanning tighter grip on steel, sup
plies of which are being rapidly dim
inished.
Manufacturers last fall agreed vol
UNFAIRLY to reduce output thirty per
cent and make no plans for the year
after August |. Possession of inventor
! les will enable the government to as
sure itself there has been no evasion
of this agreement.
| More drastic curtailmcnt of steel
allowed to the less essential industries
was forecast today by high government
officials, The governments require.
ments for the next six months are
twnty million tons, it was said, while
the greatest production to be expected
is not in excess of 15,500,000 tons.N
Officials said they do not believe
more than one fourth of the amount
of steel customarily used for pleasure
automobiles will be forthcoming.
Officials said war needs will be sup
piled at all costs no matter to what ex-
tent industries ore affected.
Some manufacturers have argued to
the war industries board that the gov
crnment has not sufficient tonnage to
transport the amount of steel which it
is planned to save through conserya-
tion.

able the administra sion to trca. the
roads handsomely without involving
any expense to the government. The
block between the landlords
and their tenants has been the amount
that could be expended for beltorments
and Improvements. The provision Gov
ering this item is now so worded there
lis no longer any question Of dividends
being ieopardized Uncertainty On this
score has kept the railroad shares in
the background but with this doubt re-
moved there is no reason now why in
veslors should hesitate in picking up
good railroad stocks wh.ch at current
quotations yield Vtry generous returns
The crop report showed a deteriora
tion Of 40,000,000 bushels in wheat, but
still indicated q yield of S9i 900 900
bushels, or "a 100000 bushels moro
than last year. The wiea. rrpp is also
about equal to the ueNt largest crop in
1914, and compares with the bumper
yield Of l,025,000,000 bushels in lyi5,
Corn promises record yield of 3,l60,
900 900 bushels, which is slightly iarg
er than last years bumper crop. The
increase Of SO million acres in com
leaves an ample margin for ordinary
deterioration, The country is thus
promised an l1uqlll.e Of the tfIee
most important crops-wheat corn and
cotton. The most seious element against
the stock market is the monetary sit
uation. War is practically rbsorbing all
available funds, 50 that little is left
for new enterprise, and only the most
necessary calls are satisfied. Con slider
able refinancing has beel accomplished
since the last loan, hut t,1t money con
tinues scarce and funds high. Tbs
steady Outpour of treasury notes at the
rate Of S750,000000 every two weeks,
with unusual crop and trade require
ments in prospect at high prices, are
quite sufficient to keep the money mar.
ket in stringent condition. There is no
abatement in the confident undertone
of the market, nor in rs excellent re-
sisting qualities But the recent ad-
vanees in the best issues, and I'm 'er-
tainties rs to how taxation will affect
some Of the industrials induced more or
less selling pressure. There is also con
siderable weakness in n number Of pub
lie utilities, light and street railway is
sues having suffered materially thru
rapidly vanishing profits. Their only
hope is that the federal government
will set an example of fair dealing
with public corporations, which munic
ipalities seem at present indisposed to
exercise. There is nothing diseouraging
in the financial outlook as a whole, and
the market seems likely to fluctuate
between moderate limits.
