ASK MAYORS TO AID
BUILDING MOVEMENT
Gown Your Own Home" Cam.
paignS Being Urged

Washington, April 9.-Mayors of
cities everywhere in the United States
are asked Ito cooperate with the
United States Department of Labor in
its nationwide Own Your Own Home
campaign, which is being conducted
for the following reasons:
First: Work must be provided for
returning soldiers and sailors and for
Ia Dor turning from war to peace in
dustries.
Second: Immediate stimulation and
resum ption of home-building activity
is necessary in most communities. At
present the shortage of dwellings, in
the United States is estimated at not
less than 100000, and it is probably
even greater than the half-million fig
ure, Home building virtually ceased
with our entrance into the war. It's
resumption means local benefit and
profit.
Third: Home ownership makes for
better living conditions, thrift and IN
: creased efficiency Tt provides COM
fort for the busy years of work and
assures q safe harbor in old age.
Fourth: Tho immediate future
holds no promise of q reduction Of the
price of building materials. 10 delay
important and necessary building in
the expectation of a decided fall in
prices seems ill-advised Professor
Irving Fisher. of Yale university,
foremo st authority, has stated:
Two are on a permanently higher
price level and the sooner the bust
ness men Of the country take this view
and adjust themselves to it the sooner
they will save themselves and the ma
ton from the misfortune that will
come to us if we persist in our pres
emit false hope
The United Suites Department Of
Labor has prepared a Manual of In
formation telling how to proceed in
the formation of local own Your Own
Home organizations. These local or
carnations have been formed in 20
cities. where the work CT stimulating
building is already bringing about sat
isfactory results. Womens clubs and
civic associations have rallied to the
aid of Vile movement which is not
confined to the effort to encourage the
immediate construction Of much
needed dwellings, but is' also con-
cerned with the speeding up Of pub
lie buildings, schoolhouses and com
munity structures Of every sort.

must be obtained before any joint ac-
ton can be taken.
To the present the alliance has not
been called upon to test its power to
the point of drastic action, but it has
been far from idle. In 1915 it laid
before Mr.. Asquith, then premier, a
reconstruc tion program which includ-
ed the demand for full state mainte-
nance. failing work, of all workers
during the period of reconstruction, a
demand which is now being pressed
upon the government. 1T was active
in pressing for better pay, pensions
and allowances for the soldiers.
The alliance decided to postpone &C
ton in the industrial field until after
the war but each of the three bodies
drew up it's plan for reconstruction,
and these national programs were
mutually discussed and consid-
cred in common 1t is these
which the government now faces I'M

The winter at Bowling Green. or
that portion of it which we passed
there-as there were several inches
of frozen snow on the ground the
day we left-was a very inclement
one and exceedingly trying upon
the boys from a milder Southern
climate.
As / have already alluded to the
neutrality proclamation of Governor
Magoffin. it is well enough to state
that the people of Kentucky were
about equally divided in their SYM
pathies as between the contending
belligerents, as was disclosed by the
fact, that each army was represent
ed by nearly or quite proportionate
enlistments, than whom no better
or Drawer men were to be found in
the ranks Of either army from any
State.
During the occupation of Bowl
ing Green, some time in November.
1871 cannot now recall the pre-
else date-an event of international
importance occurred, which excited
the country, both North and South.
with the most vehement enthusi-
asm. It buoyed up the hopes and
expectations. not only Of the South
ern people, but of the Confederate
soldiers as we'll, that from such in
cident. the United States would be-
come involved in war with Great
Britain, the logical result Of which
would be the triumph of the South
ern cause and the overthrow Of
Northern aggression and domino
ton.
President Davis had appointed
Senator Mason of Virginia. and
John Slidell of Louisiana as minis
tiers plenipotentiary and ENJOYS ex-
traordinary to the Courts Of London
and Paris respectively. armed with
the necessary authority to negotiate
with those governments for recogni-
ton of the Southern Confederacy.

course and take such action as each
of them might consider the most
conducive and the most advantage
eous to the interests Of the Confed-
eracy, financially and otherwise.

replied by boarding the Trent with
q number of armed marines and
demanded possession OF the persons
OF Messrs. Mason and Slidell. The
Captain Of the Trent protested in
the name Of the British government
against such violation Of its neutral
ity, by taking possession of its pas
sengers, but his remonstrance fell
upon deaf ears and produced no ef-
feet.
Mason and Slidell were iorcibly
transferred to the San Jacinto, which
retraced its course to the United
States. The Trent proceeded, with
out further molestation, to British
port, and publicly announced to the
British government and people the
unjustifiable assault which had been
made on its neutrality. which fired
both government and people with
the utmost indignation and resent
ment against the authors thereof.
