LOT BUYING BOOM is
SPREADING RAPIDLY
Movement Led by Frederick Brown
Will Reach Washington Heights,
1t Is Predicted

Recent lot buying on a wholesale
scale by that most acuve OF all the
present day real estate operators. Fred
erick Brown, has aroused the intense
curiosity OF other operators. many Of
whom are asking the questions:
What has Brown UP his sleeve this
time?' and What does Brown know
that We don't know" 1t is, entirely
probable, however. that he has nothing
up his sleeve" and Is not acting on
any secret information. He Is simply
hhre"d enough to have realised that
with Manhattans supply of vacant lots
practically exhausted except for the
very few remaining available in WASH
ington Heights, the West Bronx at the
present low level of lot values offers
inc next best opportunity for a quick
turnover of his capital the very instant
the impending building movement gets
under way.
Mr. Brown in the last three or four
years has bought and sold almost
sl0o'oOo.O00 worth Of apartment houses
ana loft buildings. He has Watched
S'osely the daily trend OF rentals toward
h!gner and yet higher levels. He has

! There are those. of course, who like
ali Doubling Thomases. deride the idea
OF any important building movement
while material and labor hold firm at
their present price levels. These scep-
tics are trying in their frail way, like
poor deluded old King Canute, to hold
back the wave of public opinion that
now Is sweeping broadcast over the
country from coast TO coast and which

SAYS Peace Threatened
By German Conditions

PARIS, Feb. 2O-Captain Walter
Gherardi, of the United States navy,
who has been in Germany for two
weeks studying economic and general
conditions, has returned to Paris and
reports that he found much unemploy-
ment throughout the country and a
restless, fluid condition that contains
threat against the peace of the i'm
mediate future. He says that Ger
many's food supplies are limited to
nearly exhausted reserves, which can
not last longer than next month, leav-
ing great gap to be filled before
harvest.
The German army, Captain Cher
ardi says, has shrunk to insignificant
figures and is no longer formidable.
If the new armistice terms now be-
ing framed, involving disarmament of
all but sufficient number of soldiers
to prevent internal disorders, are OBJ
served by the Germans, it is believed
by most of the entente representatives
here that France need have no further
fear from that quarter and that there
can be no reason for delaying the
conclusion Of peace treaty.
