GAMBLING CRAZE
RACES IN BERLIN

BERLIN, April 2.-Gambling has SO
increased here since the armistice that
the widest opportunity and license are
mot sufficient to satisfy the passion of
the residents of Berlin, who have TAX
en- to playing games Of chance, even
roulette, in the open streets in certain
sections Of the city. The police claim
they are unable legally to prevent
gaming clubs from operating as long
as the weak membership regulations
are observed. 1t is a fact, however,
that the police cannot stop games In
the public streets
A few weeks ago it was common for
the police to make eight or ten arrests
daily, but this form Of gambling has
increased by leaps and bounds until
certain streets are lined with tables,
edge to edge. The bets have been in
creased gradually in size until men
and women, apparently of the poorer
classes and often voorhees," and
drawing government support, wager
% marks at time.
The police occasionally appear on
the scene, whereupon the gamblers
disappear only to re-appear quickly
after the officers have gone The
scene is enlivened frequently by bet
tiers, who, after losing, snatch money
from the table and dash through the
crowds to the walls of the cheated
gamesters.

EXTENSIVE ROAD
BUILDING IS TO
Be ENCOURAGED
Record Amount of Road Con-
struction Expected, Hous-
ton Says in Statement.
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, April Adoption
of plans to expedite highway construc-
ton under the enlarged program re-
Gently authorized by congress are ex-
pected to result In more miles of roads
being constructed this year than in
any previous year in the ma tons his
tory. Secretary Of Agriculture Houston
announced in statement issued to-
day. II all states take advantage of
the opportunity offered and make
available for road building sums equa;
TO those apportioned by federal road
officials, total of $343, 100000 may
be expended.
AS the result Of conference March
/ between the secretary and highway
commissioners of eastern and middle
western states the department of agri-
culture. through the bureau of pub
lie roads, has taken up with the rail
road administration the question of
freight rates, which are represented
as being one Of the principal obstacles
in the way Of active resumption of
highway building. The matter is
under consideration by government
railway officials and a decision is ex-
pected soon. Secretary Houston also
has taken up with Secretary of War
the army highway engineers in order
that their services may be utilized.
Large Fund Available.
During the war" Secretary Hous-
ton says in ibis statement, lit was nee
essary to curtail road construction be-
cause of the difficulties of securing
transportation, materials and services
Now that the situation has changed,
the work will be resumed and vigor-
ously prosecuted notwithstanding con-
ditions are abnormal in some respects,
especially with reference to the price
of materials. 1t is not believed the
people of the nation can wait for the
prices to recede before beginning in
dustrial operations, Such hesitation
will add to the difficulties instead of
tightening them"
Secretary Houston then discusses
the amount of money available and
says ii is so great he doubts whether
states in all cases will take up their
share of the funds offered by the fed
eral government until 1920.

BAKER THANKS
PRESS FOR HELP
(By Associated Press

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Informally
announcing today the discontinuance
of the war departments system of tel
egraphing casualty lists to San Fran
cisco and Chicago for mail distribu-
ton by the press association, Secre-
tary Baker made this statement:
1T is with profound gratitude that
We approach the end of the American
Expeditionary Force casualty lists
grateful that the price of victory, in
human life and limb, was not greater.
The war department has been con-
scious Of the splendid public service
the newspaper press has been render
ing to the people by the prompt and
accurate publication Of the casualty
lists from day TO day, that the supreme
sacrifices made by officers and men OF
cur forces abroad might be known to
their friends and relatives at home.
The policy of the war department
has been Immediately to notify the
next of kin by telegraph of any mis-
fortune Detailing soldier, but the re-
sponsibility Of notification extended
also to the community and this has
been accomplished through the news
paper press.
To meet the duty of rapid notifica-
ton the casualty llStS nave Deen leie-
graphed each day by the war depart
ment to the postmasters OF Chicago
and San Francisco, and those govern
ment officials, together with the gov
eminent printing office at Washing
ton, have published the lists which the
press associations have furnished to
all daily newspapers with the least
possible lapse of time.
THE newspapers have rigidly kept
faith on release notices, thus insuring
simultaneous publication. The U. S.
government and the newspapers have
thus undoubtedly established an I'M
precedented service in rapid and com
plete publication Of the names, adj
dresses, and classified misfortunes OF
soldiers at the front. The general eff
ficiency and humanity kind co-opera-
tion of the American press in this mat
ter deserves public appreciation"

CLASS DECLARES /,
CONFIDENCE IN
LOAN SUCCESS
Country in Good Financial
Condition to Put Over Issue
Declares Secretary.
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, April 2. = Conf
dence in the financial condition OF the
country and its ability to float the
Forthcoming Victory liberty loan was
expressed today by Secretary Glass. in
replying to the suggestion of Senator
Calder,of New York, that special
session of congress should be called
to stop depreciation in the market
price of liberty bonds.
Far from agreeing that the decline
in outstanding bonds might jeopardize
the popular campaign for flotation of
the Victory issue this month, thereby
tying up credits by forcing the banks
to take the new bonds, Mr. Glass de-
clared that he was assured the treas
ury's efforts to solve the financial
problems OF the country would have
the support Of a united and victorious
people"
Depreciation of bonds, he said, has
been the result of artificial causes,
and he knew of no one who did not
believe that all liberty bonds would
sell above par before maturity.
There is today no insufficiency OF
credit for the needs Of any useful en-
terprise nor insufficiency OF gold tel
support our credit structure" Secre]
tary Glass declared.

u. s. DELEGATES
SAID TO FAVOR
ROOT PROPOSAL
Amendments to League Ac-
cepted by Delegation -
Would Preserve Rights.
(By Associated Press)


PARIS. April Comm enting on
the six amendments to the covenant of
the league of nations suggested by
El1hu Root, it was stated today by one
OF the legal specialists associated with
the American peace conference dele.
cation that he believed all the amend
ments were acceptable to the Ameri
can delegation.
The suggestion that the American
representatives sign the covenant.
with the reservation that the United
States does not relinquish it's tradi-
t1onal attitudes toward purely Ameri-
can questions, is apparently regarded
with considerable favor in American
OFFICIAL circles. The delegates also are
well impressed by the proposed
amendment providing for the revision
or the convention within not less than
nVe years nor more than ten years.
No New Procedure.
The suggestion for the signature of
the covenant by the United States,
with reservations designed to insure
the safety of the Monroe Doctrine and
safeguard immigration laws, it was
pointed out, involves no new proceed
ure, as the reservations would be
somewhat similar to those with which
the Algeciras treaty was signed.
Mr.. Roots six proposed amendments
TO the covenant were in the hands OF
the American peace delegation for
several days before they were publish
ed In the United States. They had
been carefully considered by the dele
gates, who expressed their apprecia-
ton of this definite and constructive
criticism.
Several Of the Root suggestions are
believed by the delegates to be cover
ed by the covenant as it now stands
in its amended FORM
