The option was to be valid between

No Church; No Theater.

"There will be no church and no
moving picture theater," replied MI.
Eidlitz. He said, however, that the
second story of the administration
building was to have a large assem-
blv hall, and that moving pictures
could be shown there if desired. This
room will be about sixty by eight-five
feet.
senator Hardwick again stated he
heard it said in Congress a theater
was to be built with this project.

all the vagaries Of Congress" re-

"one of the great things. it has
been said,I he continued. "is to keep
these young women who have come to
work for the government during the
war off the streets. If this govern

for or five hundred Of them can meet
for a dance or some other kind OF
entertainment, then I don't know"
Mr.. Eidlitz said that the storehouse
on the project was to be converted
into a laundry, that it had been
planned as stcrehouse when the
23d and B streets project was planned,
and was to have been used to store
meats and other edibles.

To Cost Above Two Millions.

The construction of the Union Sta

500, and it will cost s275,000 to furnish
them, it was testified. Mr.. Eidlitz
estimated, after a series of questions.
that saving of about 100000 would
be made if the government stopped

of going ahead and completing them
and renting them as planned.
He estimated that the total expendi-
ture for housing in the District of Co
lumbia under the present plans of thu
housing bureau would be about one-
third of the s10,0oo,000 appropriated
last spring by Congress for that pur-
pose in the District. This would in
clude the completion of the Union Sta
ton plaza project and three projects
for the Navy. Mr.. Eidlitz pointed out

The Union station plaza housing

Bernstorff Hoped to Use En-
barge Association to Cut
Allies War Supplies.
SAID SENATOR HITCHCOCK
"AGREED TO COOPERATE"
Plan Attempted When Dernburs
System Broke Down Following
Sinking of Lusitania.

The efforts Of Count Won Bernstorn.
former German ambassador to this
country, to make use of the American
Embargo Association to aid Germany
by stopping the shipment of arms and
ammunition to the allies from the
United States were a feature of the
evidence submitted yesterday after
noon to the Senate judiciary subcom-
mittee investigating German propa-
panda by A. Bruce Bielaski of the
Department of Justice.
Letters and cablegrams were put
into the. record showing that the
propaganda system built up by
Bernard Dernburg. sent to this coun-
try to establish such 4 system, had
broken down. The sinking of the
Lusitania was largely responsible for
the wrecking of this system. and
Count Won Bernstorff undertook to
build up another. but in 4 manner
which cannot hurt US if it becomes
known" Mr.. Bielaski put into the
record number of dispatches from
Bernstorff to the Berlin foreign Office.
Hoped to Arouse Voters.
1t was the hope of Bernstorff that
through the embargo association
sentiment among the voters would be
reused SO as to compel legislative
action putting an end to the ship
ment of war supplies to the allies.
One of the communications offered
by Mr.. Bielaski and purporting to
have been written by +. Reiswitz.
German consul at Chicago, dealt with
a mass meeting of the association
soon to be held. and said that among
those who had agreed to co-op
crate We're Senator Hitchcock of
Nebraska. chairman of the Senate
foreign relations committee; former
Representative Buchanan OF Illinois,
who was connected with Labor's Ma
tional Peace Council: William Bayard
Hale and DR.. Aked, IA minister of San
Francisco.
Another communication relating to
| a meeting of the embargo associa =
! ton. and said to have been written
| by G. NJ. Jacobs of Chicago, acting
chairman. said that former Senator
Works of California and Senator
Smith of Georgia, as well as Senator
Hitchcock. supported the principley
of the conference.

After-Armistice Building.


Senator Reed wanted to know why
w work had been begun on one or two
Of the buildings in this project even
after the armistice had been signed.
Mr.. Eidlitz said it was deemed neces-
sary to complete all the buildings for
the project.
He told the committee that the sta
ton plaza project was 80 per cent
completed today.
Mr.. Eidlitz said that the need of
proper housing facilities in the Dis
trict for government workers was
still great; that if such need had
ceased to exist, he would say stop
work on the housing project.
He said that Mr.. Amer. who operates
a hotel in New Orleans, would oper-
ate the Union station plaza project;
that he was a dollar-a-year man and
ready to contribute his services. He
said that the price OF the rooms and
board had been fixed for the woman
war workers at $45 month. OF this
$50 was for two meals a day and
three on Sunday, and SIS for rent.
United States Not to Profit.
There would be no profit to the gov
ernment at these prices, Mr.. Eidlitz
said, but the government would be
able to pay expenses and probably set
aside enough to make necessary re-
pairs. The government would not get
any return on the investment at these
figures. 1t would, however, he said,
"house 1900 women in a decent way"
Mr.. Eidlitz said that the war situa-
ton was not over, and that the gov
ernment still needed it's war workers
here. Many of them have been held
here merely by the promise of the
housing bureau that accommodations
would be provided for them. 1t was
a moral obligation of the government
to provide these accommodations. he

EXCELLENT INSTITUTION

The canning factory has shut down

reopen to can the fall bean crop; also,
sweet potatoes.
The factory did a lot of good work

fessional baseball as a non-useful oc-

professional baseball players are just
the men needed in the army. There

the opposite, to discourage amateur
baseball. Army officers encourage the
men to play as often as their duties
viii permit, in which they are effic-
iently aided by the Z. III. c. A. The
fact is, baseball has done more than
any other one thing toward keeping

A certain German, a great person
