WASHINGTON EMPT|ES
AS WAR WORK ENDS
Thousands Desert Capital That
Has Been Greatly Over
cIowded for Four Years.

Washington, May 13.-The demobiliza-
tion of Washington is proceeding at such
a pace that 1T is conservatively estimated
here that by July the population of the
capital city will be from 10000 to $4,000
less than when the war ended.
BY rehabilitation is meant the disband-
ing OF the gigantic organizations built up
here by the government for war purposes.
Thousands of clerks, nobody in Washing
ton knows the exact number, have already
been relieved of duty and have left the
city, and officials estimate that from
10000 To 10000 more will 90 by July l.
The rapidity of the exodus from Wash
mgton is best illustrated by what happen
ed between the taking of police census
here during November, 1919, and the
taking of the Federal census in January,
1920. The police census fixed the popula-
tion at 455, AS. The Federal census, taken
about month later, showed 49,, ,4l4. or
1904 fewer residents than the police
census showed.
In 1910 Washington had 331 900 in
habitantS, the Federal census showed 1t

fled town not city in the modern sense,
hut the war converted Washington into
"hoom town. War workers poured in by
tens OF thousands. The Shipping Board,
the War Risk Insurance Department, the
Treasury and the War and Navy De-
partmentS, with their tremendously en-
banded business, absorbed thousands. and
IN addition there came a sizeahlc host of

their families and their servants.
The hotel keepers were frantic, and on
many night during the war hundreds OF
persons slept, or tried TO, on the hard
benches of the Union Station, because
there We're no beds TO be had
The government was forced to build
huge dormitoriea to house the workers.
Families who never before thought of
such thing rented rooms to war workers.
Rents scared TO unconscionablc figures,
and even at the highest rates there were
not nearly enough houses and apartments
TO meet the demand. Real estate dealers
reaped golden harvest. Prices of proper

double, IN some eases, what they were be-
fore the war
Washington, the centre of the nation
war activities was transformed from
rather staid, dignifcd Southern town INTO
a metropolitan city. The transformation,
however, was not accompanied by the
necessary expansion of public utilities,
with the result that the capital was big
city in population and q small town In
accommodations.
In addition to the thousands who lived
in Washington proper, the population was
swelled by the thousands OF soldiers and
marines stationed in nearby camps. There
was a huge quartermaster camp at Camp
NIeigs, less than mile from the Capitol.
At American University, within the city
limits. was an engineer camp where
thousands studied At Quantico, Va,
near by, was a great marines camp, and in
MARYLAND but a short distance away, was
Camp Meade At Fort Mycr, at Airing
ton, lust across the Potomac from Wash
ington, there was a big camp. Bolvoir,
Va, Just down the river, housed thous-
ands Of engineer officers.
These camps drew visitors to Washing
ton, further taxing its housing and other
facilities, and, in addition, the service
men spent their furloughs and leave
periods in the capital.
During this period Senator from the
West attempted to find house or apart
ment in Washington for his family. IIeis

old enough to have seen something OF the
boom days of the great West. After q
vain attempt to- get quarters Within the
limit of Senator's income he said:
Washington is just like California
gold camp in the old days. At first when
there was nobody there but the pioneers,
they picked each others pockets. Then
the strangers came, and everybody turned
in and picked pockets
The initial exodus was of those who had
been sticking to their war jobs just because
they didn't want to be slackers and cut
and run under fire. Soon after the armis-
tice there was general reduction of the
activities, hence of the personnel of some
of the scores of bureaus and departments.
From then on the exodus was steady.
Bureaus cleaned up their work and were
disbanded Their clerks could find nothing
to do in Washington, SO they went back
home. Every month since the war ended
has seen hundreds, and some months
thousands of these workers depart.
The soldiers are gone, the camps de-
serted. The visitors who come now are
the usual ones who always come, and the
dollar a year men are back at their paid
work.
Then came Congress with a demand for
economy. 1ITeatS were neafu tnab soUie
departments would be abolished That
sent more people away. Some left Of their
own accord, rather than wait for dismissal
Bureau chiefs reduced their staifs. Other
reductions now III contemplation will
send many thousands more away by the
end Of the fiscal year. when the present
appropriation will expire.
The war population of Washington
was subject to such fluctuations that no
body will probably ever know accurately
just how large the population was though
every estimate puts It at well over 500,-
600 in November, 1918. 1t has fallen CON
siderably more than $4,000, and the end is
not yet.
The enthusiasts are mournful, for they
feel that the next census will show not an
increase, but decrease III Washington S

THE Sd MAINE
ENJOYING LIFE
AT CAMP DEVENS

Camp Devens, Mass, June 23-The
spirits Of the members of the Third
Maine Infantry revived miraculously
Tuesday night when the moon came
out after the guardsmen had expert
| enced almost a 24-hour drenching.
Despite the fact that the weather
was not of the best Monday and
Tuesday, the program Of activities
was not lessened, and the men had q
strenuous two-days instruction to
which they buckled down with en-
thusiasm. There was no gainsaying
the fact, however, that the improve
ment in weather stimulated their an
ticipation Of the program for the next
few days.
The 3rd battalion spent most Of
| Tuesday on the rife range, telling
the remainder Of the big trees which
impaired the usefulness Of the range,
| and putting it into perfect condition.
They also INDUCED in target prac-
tice. The other two battalions de-
voted the day to field work. The 3rd
! battalion continues on the range
| Wednesday and the LIST and End bat
talions passed the day in tactical
marching.
! A number Of inter company base
bali games have been arranged, and
Chaplain Cornish is also providing a
stimulating program of boxing and
vaudeville. The band played Tues
day night. for dance at the hostess
house which many Of the guards
men attended. There were also sew
eral parades.
A review is planned for next Tues

Two Millions
Bates Going After

The Fellows and Overseers OF
Bates College voted, Tuesday, tc
raise two million dollars. in ac-
cordance with the program suggest
ed by President Bray.
The section Of Dr. Gray's report
which dealt with the financial pro.
gram is:
My proposal, therefore. is that a,
this commencement we inaugurate 8
hve-year financial program which
shall include % the funding of this
augmented deficit by adding not less
than million dollars to our invest
ed funds; and (2) the addition OF
such material equipment as will en-
able us to do our work with the
greatest efficiency and success. AL
together, this means securing not less
than 100000 within this period
The only question that might be
raised is whether this is a sufficient
ly ambitious goal. Compared with
the achievements of past years, it is
all this and more; judged, however
in the light Of the rapidly and widely
accumulated wealth which the new
world situation has brought to these
shores. this program is perhaps too
meager and deserves sti1l farther en-
largement "a your hands. 1t is my
expectation that at this meeting a
joint committee from our two boards
may be raised to assis: me in carry
ing out this enlarged program"

blockhouse, a necessary article dur
ing many years of the first while
settlers lives. It is planned to have
