Confined to Seven States.


"Up to now the big government con-
tracts have been confined to seven
states. such as New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut, but it is probable that
there will have to be wider distribu-
ton and more general providing OF
housing facilities. The loss of time
that has been caused war workers in
getting toythe plants in which they are
employed is very important consid-
Grafton, and the housing bill is expect
ed to correct this"
AS an illustration of the congestion
that must be relieved Representative
Maher pointed to the fact that there is
an industrial army of $4,000 engaged in
shipbuilding at New York. There are
$1,000 of these under direct charge of
the commandant of the station and 49,
600 are in the Brooklyn navy yard. For
thousands of these who live in New
Jersey suburbs the transportation prob
lem Is very serious.

No Opposition to Bill.

Chairman Maher explained today that
there is no opposition to the bill and
that he expects to get it passed very
soon.
While Washington presents a nearby
problem to provide housing facilities for
the hundreds of thousands of war
stenographers, war clerks and others
who have been mobilized here to help
win the war, this is but one small part
of what the bill hopes to effect in the
way for relief in industrial centers.
Take Buffalo. for example, said
Representative Maher. ut is. impos-
sibIe for the men to get to work. 1t
will probably be necessary for the gov
ernment to provide transportation
lines
Take Bridgeport. Conn: there are no
houses to be had. Homes for working
men that formerly were rented for S12
or S14 month are now renting for
$50 or $50.
Some one must provide the houses
for the workmen. If private capital
will not do it the government must
AS it is now in some industrial cen
ters only orc man in three will stay

places to live where they can have
anything left out of their salaries.

London. British and Belgian forces gre rapidly clearing Northern Belgium of the enemy, according to the official British statement relative to operations in Belgium issued by the war office. The statement reads:
 During todays fighting the British, Belgian and French armies. under command of King Albert of Belgium, have been able to develop the results obtained in the last six days
 The Belgian army has occupied Zeebruegge and Heyse and has storm ed the town of Bruges Elsewhere the Belgians have crossed the Ghent- Bruges Canal On their left they have reached the Dutch frontier and on the right are half way from Bruges to Ghent
 The French forces have carried the town of Thielt and the high ground in that vicinity in spite of stubborn resistance by the enemy, who en- deayored to bar the way to the Lys At the end of the day the Frenh had reached the line of Hulle-Vincat and had advanced along the Lys to Gramme, Gotthem ard Wielsbeke
 "The Second British Army has com pletely cleaned up Courtrai, carried it's line nearly four miles east of the place. To the south, the British have reached the Courtrai-Tournal road and although all communications have been destroyed by the Germans, have advanced almost up to the Sheldt River
 Since beginning operations n Flanders the allied armies have ad. vanced 50 miles over a front of 36 miles. All of Western Flanders as well as the Belgian coast has been cleared of the enemy
 In withdrawing from Flanders and the Belgian coast. the Germans not only gave up their submarine bases. but also left behind immense air dromes. Before the enemy retire ment Northern Belgian might have been known as the home of the Gotha. By moving eastward the Germans lose the points nearest to England from which they used to carry out raids upon London and other English towns. Hereafter, it is believed, the Germans will find it increasingly difficult to make air raids upon London.
 The evacuation of Ostend and Zee bruegge will make easier the work of the British navy in keeping the Brit ish Channel clear of submarines The Germans also have been forced to re- move the torpedo boats from those bases
