FOREIGN BORNS' LOYALTY
PRAISED BEFORE ELKS
Secretary Daniels Shares Honors
With "Uncle Joe" Cannon at
Atlantic City.

ATLANTIC CITY, n. J.. July ~
Featuring review OF 5000 Elks who
marched In a great patriotic pageant
here yesterday. Secretary of the Navy
Daniels added to the enthusiasm of
the scene with a message from the
President He shared honors with
Uncle Joe" Cannon. who marched at
the head Of a congressional delega-
ton of Elks.
Secretary Daniels spoke of the
loyalty of Americans of foreign birth
and descent. and said:
THE list of casualties coming from
day to day giving US the names of
men coming from out of the stocks
of Europe. is proof that foreign born
Americans who respond to the call
of their country are as true in their
Americanism as those whose parents
were born on these shores and these
soldiers and sailors Of foreign born
parents are more indignant and out
ragged at the reasonable utterances
than are other Americans"
Speaking of German submarines on
the Atlantic coast. Mr.. Daniels said
"On the very day that submarines
were sighted on the Atlantic coast
one of the largest conveys was ready
to steam across the water. There was
some discussions as to whether 1t
should be delayed few days to dis
cover the whereabouts of the sub
marines and consider the losses they
might inflict. but 1t was decided not
to wait minute, but to send on the
soldiers. The principal reasons for
sending them to this side was the be-
lief that it would deter America from
its rapid transportation of troops
across"

FOOT STUDY BRINGS TWO
SIZES OF ARMY SHOES
orthopedists' Examinations in
Camps Reveal Many Alb
normal Feet.

A series Of studies of soldiers feet
and proper fitting of shoes has Just
been completed by committee of
Army officers, enlisted men, expert
shoe men and military orthopedists
under the direction of the quarter
master general and the surgeon gem
eral.
In several camps entire regiments
have undergone feet measurement,
and hundreds of drawings were made
of oddly-shaped or abnormally sized
feet. One soldier was found to have
feet measuring thirteen inches long
and five inches wide. Two out of
every thousand men have had to have
their shoes made to order.
Heretofore there has been but one
general type of Army shoe, which
has been used for all purposes. The
size most in demand of that standard
shoes was 7E. AS a result of the
special tests 1t was found that two
styles are necessary; one a field shoe
and the other a. marching shoe.
Men coming into the camps are sur
prised to find that their civilian shoes
are too small and that marching has
caused their feet to fill out. In many
cases shoes several sizes larger than
those worn In civilian life are needed
after several weeks training.

DEPRECATES DELAY
IN HOUSING PLANS,
New York Builder Points to
Immediate Needs of Gov
ernment Workers.
NEED OF QUARTERS IN D. C.

That Washington is not the only
city in which there is urgent need for
the housing accommodations planned
by the government for war workers
is Indicated by a letter from Noble
Foster Hoggson, New York builder,
urging the government to begin work
on its projects as soon as possible.
'We\do not hear so much about
houses for workers today" reads the
statement of Mr.. Hoggson. rs it be-
cause the condition has been met? Be-
cause the houses have been provided?
Not at all. 1t merely means that we
agitated the housing proposition un-
an agitation about
Mr.. Hoggson cited the case of
Maine, where. he said, 1t Is feared a
tent city will have to house part of
tie states new population next win
ter. In Kansas. the builder contin-
ued. there is an acute shortage of
housing.
Cites Danger Of Delay.
"of course. the problem will be
solved. houses will be provided" Mr..
Haggson went on. but the great dam
ger in the delay lies in this: The situa-
tion will become 80 desperate that any
kind Of shelter provided will be welcome.
In other words. on the plea of expedi-
ency. there is great danger OF tempo
rary shack construction being thrown
up. and the dreams and plans for a con-
structtve housing scheme along per-
manent lines will fall far short of
realization.
The bureau of industrial housing
and transportation Of the Department
Of Labor some months ago. in con-
sultation with Lawrence Veiller sec
retary of the National Housing AS
ISOLATION. assisted by number Of
notable architects and city planners.
adopted a set of standards which is
recommended for permanent indus
trial housing developments. These
standards were well conceived and
far-seeing. If followed, they would
establish housing enterprises on an
encouraging basis. But as the neces-
stty for housing grows more and more
acute the temptation to throw UP
temporary structures, even temporary
settlements. will be difficult to resist
Need of Quarters Anticipated.
Although Washington has done
probably as much as most cities in
attempting to take care of the thou
sands who have been brought here
by the government. indications are
that there will be need of the DOR
mitories and navy yard homes by
September.
Estimating at least two and pos
sibly three months for the construc-
ton of the housing accommodations.
1t is likely that the housing bureau
will endeavor to launch the local
projects before the end Of this month
in order to be ready by October
for any sign of a return Of the con-
gestion of last winter.
Dormitories are planned for the
clerical force because nearly all the
employees being brought to the execu-
tive departments are unmarried young
women. Small homes and apartment
houses are contemplated for the
southeast section, because practically
all of the navy yard workers are men
with families.

Will Retain Men Needed.

AS far as possible the work of the
office will be run by women before the
year is over. Just how far this re-
placement may be carried no one
would say. 1t is evident, at this time.
however, that no great replacement
of men by women in the provost mar
shall generals office can be made.
There are too many vital questions
connected with the draft demanding
the attention of the trained men who
have handled the job from the be-
ginning.
The office. however, is rapidly get
ting it's work, as such, put into the
hands of women, and today'S appoint
ment of the messenger girls was
taken as an indication of which way
the wind will blow from now on.
Several weeks ago Gen. Crowder re-
leased his private chauffeur to the
draft. and the man is now In training
at the Howard University. 1t is felt
by officials that the office should be
made to stand before the nation as a
model.
Elevator men of the office. who
come under the jurisdiction of the In
terror Department, have been re-
placed, in case they were within the
draft age. by older men.
