Constantly Besfege Enemy.
On Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday
British planes were constantly be-
sieging the enemy with bombs. Tons
OF explosives were unloaded on mill
tary detectives. Numerous projected
German air raids were nipped in the
bud when the British swarmed over
the hostile airdromes and dropped
bombs just as the enemy was getting
ready to start out.

stating that 1000 tons Of bombs had
been dropped since the German or

T0USE ONLY HALF
OF HOUSING FUND
Authorities Then Will Study
Need for More Emergency
Construction.

The appropriation Of $10.000.000 car
ried in tho urgent deficiency bill re-
ported to the House yesterday for
relief Of housing congestion in Wash
ington to provide for war workers is
not all going to be used at once.
Only about half Of that amount will
be expended on trial buildings and
then the housing authorities propose
to take another look around and see
how much moro emergency construc-
tion Is needed.
This was brought out in testimony
by Otto NJ Eidlitz. director OF the
bureau Of Industrial housing and
transportation. He also stated that
the Maltby building. through the
superintendent OF the Capitol build
ing and grounds. is to be converted
Of about $4,000.
Mr. Eidlitz in response to questions
about plans to care for the alley pop
u1ation when the war Is over said
that proposition was being consid-
cred in connection with the WASH
ington navy yard project. He rec
commended that after these buildings
are constructed they should be put
under the supervision OF the munic-
ipal authorities.
Estimate that these buildings for
Washington should be erected within
the next three or four months. unless
difficulty was encountered in getting
building materials. was made before
the committee by Mr.. Eidlitz.
In regard to the navy yard project
he said that the permanent work will
probably be done by local contractors
through loans from the government
appropriation.

Cuba Strict Since War Begun.

"on account of this war Cuba has
been obliged to maintain a strict
censorship. and many suspects from
Mexico have been taken into custody,
We have no internment camps so ali
we do is to send them back to Mex
leo as undesirables.
Much mail in furtherance of Ger
man designs has also been inter-
cepted. The nature Of the letters
seized by us aboard Mexican and
Spanish steamers proved, beyond q
doubt. the intense pro-German senti-
ment of the Mexican government and
people and that Carranza is en-
deavoring to aid the central powers

These are Just two OF hundreds OF
such instances. As for endurance,
our men have been on active sector
for four weeks or about twice the
usual time and have been subjected
not only to the strain of their at
taCkS, but also the strain OF German
attacks and an almost constant har-
RAISING fire. In this open warfare

They have met that terrible Hun

that few Americans allow them

"The Americans are so brave they

As for personal initiative. the
Americans are always anxious to
go a little farther than the strict
fulfilmcnt of the orders. They are
never willing simply to hold the
line They always want something
doing This characteristic has won
from the boche the name of "teufei

themselves noteworthy.
