PROBLEM OF HOUSING
 ROTHERS WHOLE NATION

Washington, June 7.-(Special )-One Of the big problems which Congress, it be- comes apparent will be called upon to solve concerns the housing of the na- ton.
 There has been no building in the United states for four years, and people cannot secure homes in New York, Washing ton, Birmingham or elsewhere. The dis tress is nationwide. There can be no building under present conditions be- cause the operation of the income tax re- duces the per cent interest secured by those capable of lending money. Insur- gagged in real estate are loaded down with Liberty Bonds and other securities not amenable to taxation.
 There promises to be distress of a har- rowing character this winter unless re- lief is granted. Congress will be asked to grant this relief by relieving for linn ited period money advanced for home building from the income tax laws The advocates of this scheme contend that the government in the long run will be financially benefited through nation wide improvement of vacant lots, that the country, from coast to coast, will soon see a business revival that work will be found for the unemployed, and that other immeasurably great benefits will follow.
 The case in a concrete form has not been as yet presented to Congress. But individual members have it in hand, and 1t will soon be a live issue.

REPUBLICANS START ON
 INVESTIGATION JOY RIDE

Washington, June 7-(Special) )-The re- publicans are preparing to go on the joy ride of war investigation regarding which predictions were general
 And they are preparing to ride hard. They have arranged the programme Sd that no obstreperous democrat may cause them to puase. This was assured when it was determined to make the in vestigating committee one of 15 mem bers-10 republicans, 5 democrats. The work will be done by subcommittee, five in number, each containing three mem bers. Two of the three will be repub- licans.
 The democrats urged that the division be nine to six. The democrats were jeered and then defeated The democrats then rejoined that the republicans did not want a real investigation, they want ed one solely for political effect. Political observers, as a matter of fact, concluded that the first concrete, unveiled move- ment in the battle for the White House had been made
 The resolution provides that the com mittee may sit wherever it pleases. This will make it possible for the committee to sit in Paris, where it's members have always wanted to sit, in some official ca pacity. It is highly probable that the committee will go to Europe. For it's republican members declare that they not only want to know how the admin istra tion expended s16 000,Oo0,O0O during the war, but why expenses have con tirued so heavy since the signing of the armistice. They want to find out how much it costs the government to keep President Wilson in Paris
 And their main idea is, it is judged to reach verdict without interference They want ? to vote on every propo- stion.

propriation bill was presented to the Senate last March it was anticipated that the New Jersey senator would make the point of order against a new feature carrying money for the custodian of alien property. But he did not make the motion, although had he done so he would eliminated the item
 Senator Frelinghuysen is originally of German descent, it is claimed. but his people have been American patriots since revolutionary days. But the senator s district has a fair sprinlSling of German people, and contains certain property or the owners of certain property which came into the custody of the government as result of the activity of the alien property custodian, who at the time was MT. Palmer.
 The specific complaint it is understood made against Palmer by F'relinghuysen was that the custodian sold a life in surance company for about $650,000 whereas it is alleged the property was worth s1,5oo,0O0. MT. Palmer is very anx- ious to explain this transaction. Ire spective of the real value of the prop erty, actuaries reckoned it's value at about the amount it brought at sale The sale was advertised extensively in New York, and the property sold at pub lie outcry.
 So in all probability the Frelinghuysen opposition will soon be eliminated and MT. Palmer confirmed.

WAR RISK BUREAU
 HAS HEAVY MAIL

Washington, June 7.-(Special.)-More than ton of incoming mail each day and nearly as much outgoing mail, have made it necessary for the bureau of war risk insurance to build up a postal sys- tenn that is larger than any other of it's kind in the United States.
 Eighty thousand pieces of incoming mall each day are the average for the bureau, of these more than 50,O00 being letters. There are over 5000 outgoing letters from the bureau each day To handle the delivery and collction of this vast amount Of mail rquires over 100 em- ployes.
 Mail is received every half hour It is those pieces of mail which are addressed to a definite division of the bureau are deliVered at once The greater part of the mall, however, comes addressed to the Bureau of War Risk Insurance" To deliver this mail to it's proper desti- nation means that it must be opened and read. Letters are opened by a machine process The letters then are tied in small bundles and delivered to readers.
 High trained women, most of them col lege graduates, are employed as mail readers. Each reader must decide from the text of the letter where it should be referred, and there are 36 different sec tions to which these readers may refer a ietter. Many of the readers are cap able of reading 1500 letters day.
 thousands of the letters which are re- ceived contain remittances for insurance premiums and for refunds on overpay- ment. These remttances come in money orders, checks and currency, and it is necessary to take the greatest care in or der that none of them may be lost.
 Hundreds of letters are received each day by the bureau of war risk insur- ance which do not concern the work of the bureau. The readers must have a knowledge of the work of other govern ment departments that they may in- dicate correct forwarding address for letters which do not belong to the bu- reau More than 50 letters of this sort are forwarded each day to other gov ernment departments and bureaus. many of them to the war department
 Outgoing letters from the bureau of war risk insurance average more than 5000 daily. All these letters are sorted according to the states for which they

EFFORTS FAIL TO GET
 SCREWS PROMOTED

WaSh1nSton June T.-(Special. )-The Alabama delegation, after going it's length in behalf of Col William P. Screws, who commanded the famous 167th regiment of the Rainbow division, is con- fronted with what appears to be cer- tainty-that his recommendation to be a brigadier general will not be acted upon.
 The final effort was made today by Senator Underwood, who spent the entire morning consulting with the adjutant general and other military authorities. After reviewing the matter from it's every angle, the chief of staff failed to see his way clar to reopen the case.
 The point was made by the military that the recommendations, not only that in favor of Colonel Screws, but many thousands of others, ere made with the idea that the war would be one of in definite duration When the armistice was signed it was determined to grant no more promotions It was said to Sen ator Underwood this morning that if Col. Screws was made brigadier general innumerable other promotions, sufficient to disturb and disarrange the entire establishment would of neces- sity follow
 There is a popular movement in Con- gress to give to all officers retiring from the service the promotions which they would have received but for the armis- u. movment is also regarded as just. If Colonel Screws remains in the service, however, he would not be a beneficiary of this proposd legislation. Senator Un- derwood was informed this morning that the chief hope of Colonel Screws was to be found in the possible enlargement of the proposed standing army. This hope, however, is not exceedingly bright inas- much as the House military committee is at present considering appropriations for an army of only 500,0O0 men.
 But for the armistice," said Senator Underwood, Colonel Screws would have been made brigadier general. It seems to be doubly doubtful that he will now come into that higher rank It is a mat ter of regret to all Aabamians. I am personally very fond of Colonel Screws He was in command of the best regiment or the front. and that regiment could not have been the best regiment had it's commanding officer been other than an exceedingly capable man.
 There is great diversion on the part of the war department to promote men in peace times to high rank even when conspicuous service in war times would seem to justify such promotion. At any rate, there are almost insurmountable barriers in the way, and we have been unable to make progress
 Representative Dent, former chairman of the House committee on military af- fairs, who had also endeavored to se- cure for Colonel Screws the promotion to brigadier general, states that his in formation is that none of the promo tions recommended prior to peace will be acted upon unless General Pershing so requests,
