In order that the public health
service may provide hospital and
sanatorium facilities for discharged
sick and disabled soldiers, sailors and
marines entitled under the law to re-
ceive such treatment, James H.
Moyle. acting Secretary of the Treas
ury, in connection with Surg. Gen.
Blue of the public health service and
Col. Henry D. Lindsey. director of
the war risk insurance bureau, today
issued carefully prepared orders to
the medical officers of the service
throughout the country.
State and City Inquiries.
The state and municipal health of
ficers have been called upon to CO
operate with the medical officers of
the public health service in the mat
ter of locating the discharged SOL
diers and sailors who are in need of
medical attention. many of whom do
not know their rights under the act
of Congress intrusting the duty of
caring for these men to the public
health service.
A poster will be displayed in all
post offices in the country informing
the men that they may receive treat
ment upon application. The National
tuberculosis Association and the
American Red Cross have been re-
quested to refer those men needing
relief to the stations of the public
health service.
Army and Navy nurses. male and
female. discharged from the service,
are entitled to receive the same medi-
cal aid as the soldiers and sailors.
The medical officers are directed to
send letters to benevolent and relief
societies. officials of corporations and
others. asking that they inform men
who have been discharged from the
service and who need treatment that
they can receive it free from the
public health service.
Evening star., 1919-05-03
Objects Emphasized.

The orders to the medical officers
call attention to the fact that there
are two main objects to be accom-
plished-first, to give a physical ex-
animation to discharged and disable
men in order that they may receive
the compensation to which they are
entitled under the war risk insurance
act: and. second, lhs. me public
health service may provide such med
ical treatment as is required.

BUILDING CRISIS PASSED
Feeling of Uncertainty Gradually
Being Dispelled as Result of
I. Many Factors.

The feeling of uncertainty in the
building situation is gradually being
dispelled, states Building Age. In an
editorial the paper says:
with labor steadily becoming more
abundant. builders who were holding
aloof more because of the labors sit
uation than because of high prices
are going ahead. That the expected
boom is under way is borne out by
the fact that contracts let during
; March were greater than any year
since 1911, except 1917, when urgent
government requirements made the
record abnormal.

May Even Surpass Hopes.

Government encouragement the
own your own home movement. high
rents. war wage savings of the
thrifty. and needs of expanding busi-
ness constitute factors which are
pushing construction. The crisis is
passed. From now on the building
trades and material manufacturers
should gradually enter upon an era of
prosperity that may even surpass the
hopes of the most optimistic.
THE latest reports, received direct
from city building departments. show
a gain of 35 per cent in permits grant
ed for March, 1919, compared with
i March. 1918, the totals for 115 cities
being s56.997.S54 for March this year.
as against s42044,451 last year. That
the prosperity is widespread is shown
by the fact that 124 cities report
gains, as against 81 reporting losses.

A bumper winter wheat crop, esti-
mated at 9o0.000,000 bushels. an in
crease of 33 per cent over the record
breaking crop of 1914. is forecasted
by the United States Chamber of
Commerce.
In report through it's committee
on statistics and standards the
chamber estimates also that the
acreage has never before been
eQualed.
Approximately 25 per cent of the
yield the report states. will come
from south of the Mason and Dixon
line, since winter wheat Is being
grown now in some of the southern
states where it was never grown be-
fore"
Spring wheat, according to the re-
port, will be late. On account of
continued rains in some of the north

two weeks.

adds. ''the increase in acreage over
last year range from 20 to 80 per

Summary of the Report.

In brief. the report is as follows:
The story of growing winter wheat
is that of unprecedented acreage and
a condition SO high as to be without
parallel.
The. plant came through the winter
apparently unscathed and unhurt. In
many sections of the west and south
west it was necessary to pasture 1t to
live stock through the spring and win
ter to keep down it's rank growth.
Reports of damage are conspicuous
by their entire absence. Mere rumors
of Hessian fly and some stray preda-
tory insects were whispered, but that

Tanks. Planes. Dirigibles.


Scores of tanks. great and small.
cfa"led over the asphalt. Squad
rons of airplanes in battle mation.
and giant dirigibles followed the pro-
cessfon overhead. the thunderous
drum of their motors drowning the
shouts of the crowd and the martial
music of eighty bands. The fire and
smoke of the battlefield. the wall OF
sirens and shattering, ear splitting
explosions of bombs, hand grenades
and guns brought a sense of the grim
reality of war More than three hun
dred cleverly devised floats showed
many of the Army's activities in a way
never before understood by the lay
man.
Trenches. machins gun emplace-
ments, dugouts, camoufaged artillery
positions, signal stations and look
out posts, all manned by fully equip
ped doughboys, were shown. On some
of the floats Germans in the field
gray uniforms and scuttle-shaped
sake of making the mimic warfare
seem more realistic. Two of the
eighteen floats of the chemical war
fare service showed the wiping out
of the machine guns used by the
Germans as a rear guard for the re-
treat. From another float men hurled
the Stokes trench mortar bombs, lay
ing down a smoke barrage. a breath
of death" around German machine
gun-nests.
Another float showed the entire
process of filing gas shells from the
moment of their receipt at the plant
to their shipment to the dump for
transportation overseas.
Fort Myer Regiment.
Other floats depicted the different
military periods in American history.
Various detachments of returned and
wounded soldiers were in the pro-
cession. The cavalry was represented
by the 11th Regiment from Fort
Myer, Va The field artillery detach
ment was from West Point. A cap
tive balloon on floats was shown by
the Signal Corps.
The parade, ordered by the War
Department to arouse enthusiasm In
the victory loan campaign. also was
designed to snow exactly how the
money invested in previous liberty
loans was expended and to prove to
subscribers to the victory loan that
the war bills incurred in the final
days of the conflict were necessary
to help bring the war to a swift con-
clusion.
Cabinet officers. Army and Navy
officers of high rank. governors of
several states, federal, state and city
officials and military attaches Of for
eign powers formed the official re-
viewing party.

The Kaiser and Germany.

Several days ago special train
crossed the German border into Hol-
land freighted with cargo whose
value was estimated at something
over $4,O00,000. The shipment was
delivered to one William Hohenzol-
Tern, erstwhile autocrat Of the Ger
man empire and emperor presumptive
of the world. The art treasuresand
other valuables had been his when
he was the evil directing genius of
Potsdam. Evidently there had been
no great effort at the concealment,
for the train was made up at Berlin
and its arrival in Holland was duly
chronicled.
Not so many miles from where
the ex-kaiser received all these lux
uries of his former imperial state
lie the bodies of some millions OF
Germans who gave their all to sup
port the mad gamble Of this con-
scienceless freebooter Some other
millions are helpless incompetents
for the remainder of their lives.
He, who had led this mad and bloody
enterprise, has never suffered a scar
upon his person. It's picture with
striking moral. But there have
been those who thought that an ago
nized conscience would have been
for wilhelm a greater suffering
than the physical pain of those who
have been mangled and killed. To
such we would like to ask whether
or not the fact that this royal butcher
has claimed from his PROSTATE coun-
try even the smallest remnant of
what was his would indicate even
trend towards contrition.
To his sorely afflicted people Will
liam Hohenzollern leaves the whole
burden not only of suffering, but also
of restitution. And yet there is talk
of a plot in Germany to restore this
mad adventurer to his throne. Surely
the plain people of Germany are not
deaf, dumb, and blind and mentally
incompetent.-Com Appeal.

The sign is very beautiful by day and
