OF
HOUSES IN
ENGLAND

LONDON, Dec. 81. = One of
the unusual plans suggested for
bridging the transition period
while England is being changed
from a war to a peace basis is a
proposal that the government build
houses and either sell them on long
time payments or furnish them
outright, particularly to soldiers.
England is wrestling with many
of the same housing schemes that
were put forward in the United
States when thousands of work
men were called to centers of war
activities. In the opinion of Sir
j. Tudor Walters, a member OF
parliament who has given much
thought to housing, England faces
a shortage of 100000 houses in
addition to her normal require
ments of 100000 new ones annu-
ally.
Thousands in the building trades
have gone into other work, as all
building operations ceased when
the war started. Materials are at
exhorbitant figures or unobtain-
able. 1t is much more difficult
for a prospective small house
owner to finance construction than
it was four and one-half years
ago..
One of the plans suggested is
that the government pay the
householder the difference between
what his house will cost to con-
struct Immediately after peace is
declared and it's estimated value
five years hence.
Any plan that will result in
large expenditure of public mon
ey will be met with considerable
opposition among members of the
government. This was made very
clear when a statement was made
in the house of commons that the
government should give all war
workers a six months holiday with
full pay as one means of solving
the tremendous problem of chang
ing England from a IA to a peace
basis. At least one member of
the government, referring to that
statement, said that the govern
ment could not undertake any gil
gantic financial obligation in it's
effort to bridge the transition per-
cd as quickly and efficiently as
possible.

Allies Have more Wheat.

England and France have made a
remarkable wartime record in raising
crops this year. The French crop of
wheat promises to be 130,O0O,O0O BUSH
els more than last year, and England
probably will have 100000
than in 1917.
With 200, 1000 fewer male laborers on
the land than before the war, England
and Wales have planted 33 per cent
more land to crops this year than in
1915, and the area of grain is the
largest on record. The increase in
grain and potatoes is 100000 acres.
Scotland and Ireland are expected to
show almost as great an increase. The
wheat acreage in England and Wales
is 2,665,0 900 acres; oats, 100000
acres; barley, 100000 acres; rye and
minor grains, $4,000 acres; potatoes,
645, 900 acres.
The entire wheat area of the United
Kingdom this year as estimated by
Broomhall is 100000 acres, on which
the crop may exceed 1O0.00O,OOC
bushels.

GAMEWAROENS FEAR
HUNTERS IN PLANES

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Dec. 81. =
Minnesota's game laws may have
to be amended to protect it's ducks
and geese from a new menace
State game wardens are consider
ing a suggestion that the legisla-
ture be asked to pass a bill this
winter making it illegal to hunt
feathered foul from airplanes.
Minnesota has turned out a
great many aviatOrs. st. Paul and
Minneapolis have been gathering
places for student and expert fly
ers. 1t is understood that some
of these airmen who observed the
flight of ducks late last autumn
decided that the modern hunter
will travel in the air "bus."
From casual discussion the pos
sibility of such hunting has caus-
ed statewide attention. Game
wardens believe that ducks and
geese could be slaughtered by avi-
ators. Therefore, there is a pos
sibility that the state legislature
will forestall such hunting.

CORONER'S JURY SITS
IN UNUSUAL DEATH CASE

Miss Grace O'Berg, 20-year-old
daughter of Charles O'Berg, died
at 10 o'clock last night at the
O'Berg residence, 521 South
Franklin street, of uremic poison
ing, as determined today by a cor
oner's jury. DR.. H. j. Brown was
called to attend the young woman
at $50 on Sunday morning and
again saw her at 5 in the eve
ming, but on both occasions she
was unconscious and for this rea-
son DR.. Brown could not sign a
certificate showing the of
death. An autopsy was perform
ed this morning by Drs. Brown
and Mccarthy and a coroner's jury
this afternoon returned a verdict
stating that death was from ure-
mic poisoning. So far as known
this is the first case of this char
acter to occur in the county and
for the first time women sat on a
coroner's jury in this county to
determine the cause of death. The
jury was composed of Thomas
F. Manning, foreman; Mrs. James
Wright, Mrs. Anise Parker, Mrs
NJ. c. Richards, Mrs. Julia w.
Theo and Mrs. Lizzie Heiden.

ACROSS OCEAN IN AIRPLANE
Flight Will Be Made Before
End Of Year.

The most famous voyage In the his
Columbus sailed from Spain, touched
the Portuguese coast, paused at the
Azores, and then drove across the I'M
charted seq until his jollyboats nosed
the sands of q new world.
Another voyage that will shine In
history beside that Of Columbus will
almost surely reverse the route Of the
great discOverer-from the American
continent at Newfoundland, say, to
the Azores. thence to Portugal and
finally to France. But it will be made
through the skies by airplane. And IL
there is anything in prophecy based on
science 1t will be made this year.
At least this Is the settled opinion
of Maj. Gen. William s. Brancker, ron
troller general Of equipment on the
British air council. General Brancker
is now in Washington to help co-ordi-
nate the effort of the allies in the air.
His position as to the flight across the
Atlantic Is simply this: That 1t must
be done some time in the present war.
that 1t Is already possible to do it, and
that therefore it should be done now.

TOXIC, Dec. 2S. - The end of
the war does not NEAR peace for
Russia, says DR.. Vaclav Girse of
the Czecho-Slovak national council,
who is now in Toxic. Peace con-
~ferences will not be able to pre-
vent the internal struggles in that
disorganized state; that car only
be accomplished by military decis-
ion. and can only be the task of
the allies" added DR.. Girsa.
Many divisions of allied troops
now are needed to help Russia
emerge from its chaos because,
said DR.. Girsa, more than half of
the Czecho-Slovak troops that were
in Russia when the Brest-Litovsk
peace treaty was signed are now
in hospitals or in their graves.
DR.. Girsa said the situation of
his troops in Siberia has been we'll
nigh insupportable. One division
had been forced to hold for a long
time an immense front. 1t had
been obliged to guard the railroad,
the important places in Siberia, to
organize the munition factories

Night LAND UP IN M0RGUE
At the Best II Would Be Hospital for
Man Who Yelled "Hurrah for
the kaiserI"

Two men talking on the rear
platform of an East Tenth street car
were discussing the poor service and
how long 1t would take a person to get
any place by depending on the city
cars, when one of the men said that
he had heard of a quick way to reach
the city hospital.
He explained that while he was
down town, a few days before, he had
overheard the conversation between a
man who was evidently a stranger and
another man of Irish descent.
"Could you tell me the quickest way
to get to the city hospitalF" inquired
the stranger.
"Sure," said the man of Irish de-
scent, "you walk one square east, turn
to your right and go one square south.
There you will find a recruiting sta
ton. Go in there and yell: 'Hurrah
for the kaiser!' and when you come to
you will be in the city hospital
The man who told the story said he
thought that was one way of reach
ing the city hospital in record-breaking
time, but his friend did not agree with
him.
"Why don't you agree with me?"
asked the first man. "Don't you think
the plan a good onef"
ooh, the plan is all right" replied
his friend, but I think the destina-
ton is all wrong. Any man going into
a recruiting station and yelling: Hur-
rah for the kaiserr' would make a
quick trip somewhere, but not to the
city hospital. I think he would
break all records getting into the city
morgue."-Indianapolis News.

forces, and l car only say that the
men seem to have been carried

feel that they must perish, but
they wish to fulfill their duty to
the last. They have quite given
up hope of effective military aid,
but they are determined to fight
to the last breath. He expressed
the opinion that the Russian ma
ton would surprise the world by
it's powerful development in the
future. He added:

DANIELS URGES
GREATER NAVY

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 30
Secretary of the Navy Daniels, ap-
pearing before the house naval
committee in behalf of the new
5000, OOO,O 600 three-year building
program, said that if the league of
nations is organized the United
States should be prepared to con
tribute as large a unit as any 9TH
er nation to an international po-
lice force, and that without a. in
ternational agreement for a reduc-
ton of armament naval expansion
should continue indefinitely.
In formally submitting the new
building program Secretary Dan
iels urged a provision for the sus-
pension of construction at the or
der of the president whenever an
international agreement should be
made for an armament reduction.
He declared the United States,
having pledged her support to the
small nations, should build a navy
second to one if an international
tribunal failed to materialize.
