NATIONAL HEROES OF FRANCE
Lazare Hoche and Ferdinand Foch
Are Names to Be Forever Held
in Grateful Memory.

Marshal Foch is taking a particular
satisfaction at this time of the con-
summation of a great victory to pay
homage to the fame Of Lazpre Hoche,
the famous young general who escaped
the Revolutionary guillotine eventual
ly to command that army of the Sam
bre-et-Meuse which, though at arst
disorganized, badly fed and badly
equipped. performed the brilliant seven
months campaign which established
the reputation of French arms on both
sides Of the Rhine. To this day at
Weissenthurm stands monument to
Its memory and that Of its brilliant
young chief. No wonder Marshal F0ch
takes pleasure in recalling Lazare
Hoche to his countrymen. OF Hoche
1t Is said that he once proudly wrote
to the minister for war OF his day,
"Je suis la patrie." The French of
the present century would throw up
their hats at such a sentiment as en-.
Enthusiastically as the contemporaries OF
Hoche and Rouget do Lisle. With the
great mass of them, though they do
not perhaps express It so tersely, FocE
Is 'la patrfe" In the sense that he GER
tainly stands for them as "la Vlctolre'
personified.

BUILDING INCREASES
SENATOR CALDER
URGES BUILDING

United States Senator Calder is
keenIy interested in the present acute
housing shortage that confronts the
country. In a series Of public ad-
dresses at various points throughout
the United States during the past few
months he has endeavorsd to i'm
press upon builders the necessity for
! Immediately beginning construction
on a large scale
Senator Calder believes that mate
rial prices must be lowered some
what and that labor must make some
sacrifices to commence the needed
building activity.
Commenting on the situation last
week, Senator Calder said: The ces-
sation of building activities on &C
count OF the war was responsible for
the scarcity Of housing facilities.
The situation" he asserted, as
not Is yet fully realized by the peo-
pie, although a large number have be-
gun to feel its effects in increased
rents and inability to and any vacan-
cies at lower rentals.
"As the months go by, this situa-
ton will become increasingly difficult
upon the immediate need of providing
new housing, in order to, in a small
degree at least, relieve the situation.
I'm my opinion the building Of new
houses is the only solution when
there is an absolute shortage, as ex-
lists today. The building Of new
houses will afford employment tc
large numbers Of men, who, because
Of the cessation OF war industries are
now without employment AS a meas
ure of reconstruction in the sense OF
tiding over the interval between the
closing of war activities and the re-
sumption Of peace-time enterprises
there is no better means than in the
erection of large numbers of needed
buildings.
"The difficulty in the way Of new
building is, Of course, its present
high cost. In order to reduce this
cost, material men must be willing
to accept a lower price for their ma
terial than obtained In war time; la
Dor must be willing to make some
sacrifice on the wartime scale of
wages: and capital must recognize
that increased costs are liable TO con-
tinue for q period Of years, and that
the increased returns now obtainable
on real estate justify OUTLAWS for new
houses.
Lenders Of money on bond and
mortgage must make more generous
loans IN recognition Of the increased
cost OF building, and make for the
amortization Of these higher loans
during the years to come
THE providing of homes in the
great centers Of the United States and
especially Of New York city today Is
no longer q real estate question, but
4 public question. since IT Is becom-
ing more and more apparent that the
proper housing Of its people Is a
problem which the government should
recognize"

NEEDS MONEY FOR
BUILDING LOANS

In making a nationwide survey Of
building conditions, the United States
Department Of Labor recently sent
out ouestionnaires to several thou
sand building and loan associations.
These questionnaires covered inquiries
concerning assets, the average amount
Of loans made each year, applications
for 1919, the possibility Of increasing
demands for loans and opinions con-
earning the proposed system Of Fed
eF1I home loan banks.
Returns disclosed that more than
- per cent Of the building associa-
lions have not sufficient available
funds to meet the desirable apphca-
6trns for loans that are coming m as
q, result OF the shortage Of houses
G1d the ReEeral revival Of construc-
tActfVff1eG. While the building as
DoaEtfOns OF the country are report
e. q q sound financial basis their
pmE difficulties are due to the
6actg that they have enormous in
VeStments and that the long time
morteECes representing large amounts
are not Negotiable at commercial
banks.

hone loan banks n approved by q
majority Of thu associations that re-
turned answers to the questdonnaires.
Out Of 1,2o0 thus far received less
than 10 percent Of the associations
represented, are opposed to the plan.
An EnsweF that Is typical OF the at
titude Of associations that are fnan-
ciaIly Independent came from the

tary. but IL will be helpful to those
who do, and the time may come when

According to recent estimates made
~ the division Of public works and

partment's information and education
service, there are now IN the United
States 1883 building and loan asso-
ctEttOns with pEid-in capital stock

Fun Liberty and Equality
Granted Jews in Poland

Paris, July IN. Pichon, foreign
minister, replying to a communica-
ton from members Of the chamber
of deputies, asking information as
to the attitude of France in the
peace conference with regard to the
Jews of Poland, Roumania and other
countries, declares that from the
beginning of the conference the
French government endeavored to
secure thorough consideration of
the Jewish question and. had asked
that conditions of absolute equality
be granted Jews in new or enlarged
states.
These efforts, NJ. Pinchon says,
resulted in the treaty already signed
by Poland guaranteeing complete
liberty and equality to Jews in po-
litical and religious matters.

DENVER TRAMWAY
MEN LIKELY TO
GO ON A STRIKE
Wage Reductions Go Into e.
feet This Morning Following
Ruling Of Supreme Court
on Rates Regulation.

Denver. July denver faces an
immediate street car strike, as F. w.
Hid, general manager of the Den
LIVER Tramway company. announced
sweeping reductions IN wages paid
employees of the company. The
union men will meet at midnight to
consider what action they will take.
| Wage reductions are effective at
5 o'clock Tuesday morning. Earlier
in the day union officials announced
strike would Immediately follow
any wage cut.
The reduction in wages followed
decision by the Colorado supreme
court, in which home rule cities in
Colorado were held to have full
power to regulate rates of utilities
companies.
Five.Cent Fare Effective.
On Saturday a Scent fare became
effective in Denver under an ordi-
name passed by the city council. The
company did not announce its wage
cut pending decision of the supreme
court covering the general question
of the right of municipalities to reg
ulate rates.
The tramway fare fight had its be-
ginning here September IS, 1918,
when the Colorado Public Utilities
commission granted the tramway
company 6-cent fare.N The increase
was given for the duration of the
war.
In December, last year, the Pub
lie Utilities commission granted a
7-cent fare, and also permitted the
company to charge an extra cent for
each transfer issued.
Inauguration of the 77cent fare
was followed by mild demonstra-
ton by citizens of the city against
the fare increase. On the night of
January 2, this year, practically all
tramway cars were halted in various
parts of the city by crowds who
pulled trolley poles from the wires,
refusing to permit operation of the
cars.
City Opposed Increase.
The city has opposed an increase
in tramway fares, taking the stand
that cities under home rule have
jurisdiction in such matters. City
officials have contended the Utilities
commission was without authority
to regulate rates.
On January IA, last, the state ST.
preme court ruled tina: the city and
not the State Utilities commission
had jurisdiction over rates. As "a
result of this decision, the 6-cent
fare was restored and transfers were
issued free. From this decision an
appeal was taken and a rehearing
was granted. Today's decision by
the supreme court resulted.
The fare issue became a plank in
the platform of Mayor Dewey c.
Bailey during his campaign for cleo
ton in May last. He promised res
toration of the Scent fare.

day night
Stream of Water Descends.
Shortly before 9 p. M, the wind
having died down until the atmos-
phere was listless, stream of water
descended from amidship. As this
ballast left the craft the R-34 moved
upward slowly. From both sides,
we'll forward, and from the under
surface, also we'll forward. three wire
cables were connected with anchor
ages on the ground. The stern was
left to swing with whatever breeze
might stir during the night. There
was no possibility, Maj. G. H. Scott
the commander said, that the stern
would rise, as it did Sunday night,
until her massive form assumed at
times an almost perpendicular posi-
ton. 1t was explained that on Sum
day too much water ballast had by
mistake been emptied from the
stern. Monday night the amount of
water ballast let 60 was equally dis
tributed throughout the length.
Keep Ship From Escaping.
With the shift aloft the balloon
company doughboys, veterans of
the American expeditionary forces,
found their first relief from many
hours of strain and excitement. In
crews of Is each, 10 crews through
out the day had by their own
strength kept the dirigible from es-
Gaping.
The rising sun had expanded the
hydrogen with which the big ship
had been filled to capacity last night.
This expansion added eight tons to
the ships lifting capacity and
wrenched out the cross girder to
which the anchorage ropes were at
tached. The breaking of the girder
tore a hole about four feet square in
the outer envelope of the dirigible
but this has been repaired.
At times during the day. the
ground crews swinging to hand lines
from the ship, were lifted bodily
from their feet as the wind blew the
ship about. At no time. however,
did the R-34 get beyond the control
of her human anchors.
Major Gen. E. M. Pritchard, ex-
ecutive officer of the dirigible's crew,
discussing the difficulties in keeping
the ship from injury, said:
."We did not come any way near
losing the ship and allow me to say
that it would be all right if we had
lost it. When we planned to come
here the British government asked
the United States to build shed in
which to house the ship during its
stay in this country. This the United
States government refused to do.
When the British government heard
this, they said something equivalent
to all right"
