HOTELS
FOR WAR WORKERS
Amendment to General Hous-

600 for Washington.

Appropriation of 100000 with
which the government would build
temporary hotels to house the nearly

present year is authorized in an
amendment to the $50. 100000 general
housing bill. on Which a favorable re-
port was, ordered today by the House
committee on public buildings and
grounds.
This report will go to the House when
the housing bill is taken UP. The District
appropriation will be brought into the
House as committee amendment. The
House rules committee has already
housing bill privileged status. This
special rule will be reported to the
House as soon as Majority Leader
Kitchin gives the word that there, is no
more imperative legislation which
should have right of way.
At the meeting of the public buildings
and grounds committee action to relieve
housing congestion in washington was
promptly taken. Representative Burnett OF
Alabama, who argued for special rule,
presented figures prepared by the Depart
ment of Labor and the War Department
showing that nearly 1900 additional war
workers will be called to Washington be-
fore July 1 and that nearly $4,000 will be
called before the end Of the year.

1t is the belief Of the members of the

The Subs and Shipping.

1t is needless to comment upon
the fact that U-boats destroyed g.
100000 tons last year while Great
Britain and the United States re-
placed only two of them. 1t is an
nounced from Washington that the
shipping crisis has already passed
the lowest ebb and from this time
forward, conditions will improve.
Such an opinion seems to be based
upon the ships being built at this
time and the measures being adopt
ed for submarine strafing. The lat
ter method is more than likely to
be the most successful, but at the
same time, it will never become COM
plete. The building of ships so fast
that the subs cannot sink them is
an expensive way to meet the peril,
but if no other way exists, the allies
and this country will not be back

Plant War Gardens.

The American people responded
splendidly to the call last year to
increase production of foods by wide
spread individual effort. Owners of
magnificent estates who formerly
raised great tumult if a single
'dandelion dared to raise its head on
the lawn, heroically plowed their
front yards, and potatoes, beans, and
onions appeared where the velvet
green had reigned supreme. Others,
with only a few square feet of op-
portunity and only few hours a
week to spare, also dug and planted
and watered. The aggregate results
were really worth while, even
though in many cases there was a
crop failure. The physical benefit
and the feeling of patriotic endeavor
was, however, well worth the work.
And now, as another planting time
is at hand, the effort should be re-
peated and largely increased. To
those whose crop was disappointing,
there is this word of encouragement:
Many soils were what the farmers
call sour" condition often cured
by simply turning it over so sun and
air and rain can do their work.
Some soils needed only a little ferti-
LIKING and some consisted of a few
inches of black covering sand, bricks
and other rubbish left from building.
But even the poorest soils will be
more responsive this second year of
planting, and in any event the yards
and gardens which will yield profit
able return will total thousands Of
acres, and every pound which can be
raised at home will add just that
much to the canning factories to be
put in shape for shipment abroad.
Tomatoes, carrots, beans, beets, are
all easy to raise, and the humble
cabbage is not to be despised, for it
is one of the most nutritious vegeta-
bles; early in the war the Russian
army had little else than cabbage
for long time, and fought hard.
'Let-ea4~who can, join in the work !;
even the cliff jewellers in apartments
can help their friends who have
yards. A well-kept garden-always
a luxury should be a mark of dis
tinction in these days.

AN ALTERED BUT UNDIMINISH
ED DANGER.
Cincinnati Enauirer.l

The primitive peril of the war lay
in the possibility that the Germans
might Overpower France by her first
blow, then swing back and crush
Russia, and so be free to conquer
England.
Defeated in this attempt, they UNI
dertcc.. % realize their dream of an
empire comprising the whole central
part r The continent, Mittle Europa.
reach lg from the northern to the
southern seas.
Blocked by the allied victories at
Bagdad and Jerusalem, their hopes
were dashed and the gravest peril OF
the modern world averted. But the
stars in their courses seem at present
to be fighting for these modern Huns.
Just at the moment when their sec
ond dream was fading another glori-
Gus prospect opened to their view
1t was an opportunity not less golden
than the others, and had it's origin
in the collapse of Russian unity and
power. A door was suddenly opened
toward the rising sun-a door ad-
hitting them to boundless territory
and ineXhausible resources. Torn
by internal discussions, misled by ig-
norant Missionaries, deprived of posi-
BILE defense by the rehabilitation of
it's armies, the whole vast Russian
empire lay helpless at the feet of an
INSCRIPTIONS and remOrSeleSS foe.
With scarcely moments hesitation
the German army crossed the
threshold, and the loosely aggregat-
ed provinces began to fall asunder.
Such a swift and fatal disintegration
was never seen before, nor such an
easy chance for one nation to absorb
another.
The world looks on aghast as the
process of absorption goes, unrestict-
ed, forward. When and where it will
end the wisest cannot tell, but as
province after province succumbs tc
the might of the conquerer the pros
poets of the indefinite extension of
German power sends a shudder
around the globe. What hope would
there be for democracy if the Ger
man army should be increased by
the addition of fifteen or twenty mil
lion soldiers? Heaven only knows.
Their work is cut out for the allies
now. So much is sure. We must
win on the western front or throw
up the sponge We must win! The
obligation is supreme. Never was j
duty more imperious or more solemn.
We must conquer or be enslaved.
Is there any one too blind to pre-
ceive the gravity of this alternative?
1t must be that they are among those
W no are blind, because they will not
seel 1t is all as plain as pike
staff. The destiny of the human race
is hanging in the balance-democ

ment or military rule, Christianity or
paganism-take your choice.

cartoons showing Ancient Mariner
Daniels, with his grape juice, about
to lead the navy to perdition, but
bless as, when the war came the
navy was on the job, so was jose
plus Daniels.
Not only has he proved that his
management of the navy has been
such as to prepare it for war, but he
has won over critic after critic of
his earlier official life. The record of
the navy in European waters, engag-
ed in a warfare for which Ameri-
leans had no expectations, is such
as to excite patriotic pride, and there
has been no talk of anything but
praise for the navy.

Hard Times. Eli?

Yes, these are hard times. We
throw away ashes and soap. We raise
dogs and buy hogs. We grow weeds
and buy vegetables. We catch fish
from a four dollar rod. We build
school houses and send our children
away from home to be educated. And
last, but not least, we send our boys
out with a forty dollar gun and a
twenty dollar dog to hunt ten cent
game. Yes, these are hard times,
but whose fault is it? Don't place
all the blame on the president and
the trusts.

THE THIRD LIBERTY LOAN
New York Herald)

1t was happy thought to fix upon
April 6, the first anniversary of the
declaration that a state of war ex.
listed with Germany, as the date for
Offering the third liberty loan.
AS s500,000,000 of Treasury certi-
ficates have been sold to the banks
at Az per cent. and another Offering
of like amount is now open to sub
scription, it appears certain that the
new bonds will bear at least that
rate of interest, although Mr.. Nc
Adoo is careful to state that the
amount, terms. and conditions of the
loan have not yet been decided.
A suggestion that the bonds be
made exempt from taxation is favored
in many quarters. An objection is
that this would create a preferred
class Of bondholders. In answer to
this 1T is said the bonds, while not
maturing for 80 years, could be made
redeemable at the option of the Gov
eminent after i've years.
The warning of the Federal Re-
serve Board to banks against raising
the interest allowed on deposits and
legislation giving the Government
virtual control of the money markets
will help to make the new loan the
brilliant success it should be on its
merits as an investment and it's ap-
peal to national pride and patriotism.
