RICHMOND SHORT 1000
HOMES, SAY BUILDERS

Richmond is short 1000 houses at
present, and building is still far below
normal, according to local builders
statistics.
The shortage of new homes is par
ticularly noticeable by officials of the
city water works. who are called upon
to connect water to the new homes.
Under normal conditions, from 250 to
300 connections are made each year
with the greater part of these for new
buildings.
Last year. which was far below
normal as far as building was con.
cerned, the water company made
twelve connections TO new houses
There have been only ten new water
connections made in the city so faI
during the year and Of this number
only two were made to new houses
Several houses are being built in the
Reeveston addition, where the water
has already been taken to the curl
at the time the street was laid, but il
is estimated that with these. building
In the city is far below normal, and
wholly inadequate TO meet the de
mands for housing facilities.

GERMANY FORMS
TO CALL STRIKE
(By Associated Press)

BERLIN, Thursday, June IA
secret session of the citizens council
of greater Berlin held on Wednesday
declared in favor of citizens strike,
according to the Independent socialist
newspaper Die Freiheit.
The attendance included a number
of manufacturers, merchants and pro-
fessional men and Col. Reinhard, the

The chairman of the meeting is
quoted as declaring that strike was
necessary because the present gov
ernment was incapable of redeeming
Germany from chaos.
It was planned, according to the
newspaper, to have airplanes distrib
ute leaflets announcing when the
strike would begin. All the food in

cease work according to the plan, this

lomatic relations with Mexico.
Nothing in recent history, accord
ing to advices reaching Washington,
has so humiliated the Mexican people
as the exclusion of Mexico from the
league. The dissatisfaction is so
marked that open charges are being
made against President Carranza for
having so conducted the government
that the civilized nations of the world
will not admit Mexico to their society
President Carranza is said to real
1ze the danger in the situation. Hence
the dispatch Of his son-in-law to the
United States, and Europe.
Gen. Pablo Gonzales and Gen. Obre
gon, avowed candidates for the presi
dency, have announced to their friend.
and followers that they will bend every
effort to right the wrong done to Mex
! leo as a result of the policy of the
| Carranza government.
In view Of this situation, President
| Carranza and General Aguilar fee
| that if the latter can bring about the
admission of Mexico into the league
! they may be able to defeat other can
| didates for the presidency.
No official confirmation has beer
received here of published report!
