Later the bodies of the two German
sunners were examined and It was found
that even in death their fingers gripped
their gun.

TfIE last time We gave thought to
the Spanish peninsula there were
several different hngs holding the
temporal power. besides the Moors and
Saraoens. who were penned in the south
ern tip. During the psriod We are now
considering the Moors and Saracens were
shut up in the one kingdom OF Granada.
Although they had wars with their
neighbors the history OF the PENN sula

tween tho several Christian Kingdoms.
Out Of these chickering's Portugal rose
Into prominence because of tho great
things It was doing. Under John the
Great. who reigned from 1885 to 1898. the
Portuguese began to take revenge for
the long usurpation Of the peninsula by
tho Saracens of Africa. by conquests In
Africa itself.
At the Same time, under tho Infant. or
s,ince Don Henry. they began 4 course
OF navigation and discovery along the
western coast Of Africa and among the
Glands of the Atlantic. These efforts
continued during the whole OF the 18th
century. The discovery of the Cape of
Good Hope, In 14S6. opened for Portugal
yet wider domain In India and other
Dcsis of the East. In this work of ex-
r,oration. conquering and colonixing,

The Deficit of Houses.

m nj ANY people wonder why it is that
INI0 the housing problem has become so
uWU acute. They know that our ma
tional population has not been swelled
much by immigration for several years,
and that nearly 100000 Americans are
still absent from home in military service.
Why, then, are the houses not sufficient
to meet the demands.
One obvious answer is that the lack of
homes is felt most in the cities, especially
the industrial centers, and that it has been
made serious by the influx of workers to
these cities in greater number than before
But this is only a partial and superficial
answer. There is an actual shortage
everywhere, even in most Of the smaller
towns where one might expect to find
empty houses.
The big reason is that during the war
building had almost stopped. We used to
build 100000 to 100000 houses a year to
replace old structures and take care of the
increased population. There was already
deficit of houses in 1916 Since then we
have been building only about $4,000
homes year. The result is an actual def
cit of nearly 100000 homes, and the ma
ton cannot be properly housed until they
are built.
These facts show plainly enough the
duty of the federal, state and municipal
governments to do all in their power to
remedy the situation, and the patriotic
duty of builders and building-trade unions
to get together everywhere in a spirit of
mutual accommodation

Appeal to Citizens.
BY WOODROW WILSON.


TOR two anxious years the American
= people have striven to fulfill the task
Il of saving our civilization. BY the
exertion of unmeasured power they have
quickly won the victory without which
they would have remained in the field until
the last resource had been exhausted
Bringing to the contest strength of spirit
made doubly strong by the righteousness
of their cause, they devoted themselves
unswervingly to the prosecution of their
undertaking in the full knowledge that no
conquest lay in their path excepting the
conquest of right.
Today the world stands freed from the
threat of militarism which has so long
weighed upon the spirit and the labor of
peaceful nations.
But as yet we stand only at the TIRES
hold of happier times. TO enter we must
fulfill to the utmost the engagements we
have made.
The Victory liberty loan is the indispen-
sable means. Two years ago we pledged
our lives and fortunes to the cause for
which we have fought.
Sixty thousand of our strongest sons
have redeemed for us that pledge of blood.
To redeem in full faith the promise of
this sacrifice we now must give this new
evidence of our purpose.
