Drive Them out.
To the Diitor Of The Byenlng World:
Now that we have the declaration
or Gov. Cox of the character Of a
separate peace with Germany, would
1t not be well for the Democratic
party to make certain that none of
those alleged Democrats from New
York City and elsewhere, who in the
last session OF the Congress voted for
n separate dishonest" and "dishon-
Qrable" peace with Germany and for
the overriding of President Wilson's
patriotic veto of that peace, ever
again occupy a seat in Congress Of
the United States?
They made themselves the allies of
johnson, Lodge and Borah, and of the
Huns of Europe, Let them abide
with them. Horsewhipped, they
should be, out of public life II they
dare show their faces at theNpolls On
election day. Would 1t not be well to
print in large bold type on your first
page the names OF these representa-
tives with a demand for their rejeC-
ton on election day II nominated al
the primaries.
Gov. CoX's success must not be inn
perined by such association.

men who were mentioning when the
Volstead veto was before the House

ID EVENING the housing shortage III UllS Guy,
IN Health Commissioner Copeland says;
Here is a practical situation unique in the
history OF the world We have thousands OF
families without homes These people must
live somewhere. II citizens are unable
to help themselves, and private capital re-
fuses to be employed for this purpose, how

DR.. Copelands summary of the situation is sound
and his conclusion logical But WHY make out that
New York's present housing plight is unique" and
that there is neither experience nor data anywhere
for the guidance of those who urge public action
to relieve it3
Two years ago the British authorities had TO deal
with the same postwar problem on an even larger
scale in Great Britain.
The British Government faced the same question
of how to enter upon public housing programme
without disoouraging private building enterprise.
Witness the following from the memorandum Of
the Advisory Housing Panel of the British Ministry
of Reconstruction presented TO Parliament In May,
i9i8 when il was estimated that 100000 houses
must be built to provide homes for families in Eng
land and Wales alone:
About 95 per cent Of houses in the past have
been built by private enterprise in the form
of speculative building. In the case Of work
ing-class houses, this form Of building has
shown a tendency to diminish, and abnormal.
conditions apart, the expectation that II
would continue to provide the necessary
number Of houses in the future would not be
justhable.
We willingly, however. accept the prin-
cple that obstacles should be put in the
way of the free working OF private enter
prise in the future, subject only to its con-
forming. believe 1t well can, to sufi-
cient standard Of design and arrangement
internal and external, OF the houses built.
ConclusiOns
It is imperative that the Government
should secure the building of sufficient
houses for the working classes, to make up
the deficiency caused by the cessation Of
building.
Whatever other measures may be TAKEN
no considerable number Of houses will be
built unless financial aid is forthcoming from
public funds
British authorities, national and local, have pro-
vided such aid in the shape both of direct building
undertakings and in advances on easy terms to
Public Utility Societies organized in manner spec-
fled by the Government to build homes for workers.
British experience IN public and Sem-pIblic houS-
ing since the war has been extensive.
Its methods and results are available for the study
of those who are confronted by similar problems
in the United States
New York may have excellent reason for pro-
ceeding cautiously with public housing projects
But at least that caution need not be based on
ignorance of what other communities have found
practical.
New York will advance no further toward solv-
ing its housing problem by pretending that problem
is unique

Many splendid Divisions.

To the Editor Of The Evening World;
! noticed in your edition OF Aug.
letter signed Rainbow" which
eulogizes the record of the 42d Divi-
sion. While the AGA Division was a
splendid unit, the writer again opens
the question as to which was the best
division in France. which question
thought had been settled by the Of
fetal records of the divisions.
The writer says that the 42d Divi-
sion gained more ground against the
enemy than any other division. Ac-
cording to the official records given
out by G. II. O., A. E, F., the division
which gained the most ground in
France was the nth, and the next one
was the I'd, of which had the honor
TO be member.
Permit me to say that when a per-
son has taken upon himself the task
OF eulogizing a splendid division like
the 42d he might we'll obtain reliable
/ information before writing a letter

which are being arranged to help the
New York Police Department, such
as a S5.OOO,OOO hospital 10 be erected
in Brooklyn, a health resort in the
mountains, whore they can regain
their health a club house on River
side Drive, where they can spend
their spare time, and general stores
where they can purchase food and
clothing at cost price. This Is all fine
and dandy for our police, but how
about that other gallant body Of men,
the New York Fire Department? Is
the public going 10 neglect and for

! Why not have an annual parade OF
