Soldiers and Housing Reforms.

From the American Review Of Reviews.
New shipyards and munition plants
made necessary last year a number OF
model housing projects to take care Of
the workers. The idea of good homes
for wage-earners as a matter of pub
lic policy was widely advertised and
gained strong support. Able archi-
tects, engineers and landscape de-
eigners aided the government in its
housing. schemes 1t may be fairly
said that there is coming into con-
scious recognition the national aim
Of providing every family with habi-
tation that shall meet the minimum
requirements of decenoy and health
Slum conditions in our great towns
are by no means as bad as they were
thirty or forty years ago. Tenement
house laws and sanitary inspection
have made striking changes for the
better, but much is vet to be done.
Thus the young soldiers. returning
from service with enhanced personal
dignity. are not willing to live in no.
svels or tumbledown cabins. and num-
berS of them are said to have per-
suaded their families to move away
from the worst tenement districts OF
the lower East Side in New York and
TO find better quarters In outlying
homes.

Pleasant Dreams Assured

When you go to Sunderland tonight will you
enjoy healthful restfu sleep? Haven't you often
remarked when you arose, Il feel as tired as if
had never slept wink There's reason for this,
friends; it's this That mattress that you're sleep
ing on isn't comfortable; it doesn't allow proper
relaxation to tired MUSCLES
For real solid, comfort-giving sleep you should
try Stearns & Foster cotton felt mattress. Made
of nine layers Of pure, sanitary cotton that will
never lump nor grow hard. When you
you'll find what real comfort is.
Your Stearns & Foster mattress will be deliv-
cred in unit bale, wrapped at the factory and
not touched till you receive it.
There's fine mattress at $1o.75, a good one at
S2o75, and fine pure white at $34.75-every
one 50 pounds of fine cotton felt.

Admiral Benson said
IL told him what the feeling here was

ably Or not. that he was being unduly
Influenced by the British and / ad-
vised him to be more careful for his

devoting my whole energies to the car
ry.ng on Of the war and every minute

untold embarrassment to me. / have
many dear friends in England and the
British government has seen fit to
decorate me for my services in the war.
But this discussion makes it practically
impossible for me ever to visit there

"Everythi / did as Chief of Oper-
ations during the war was intended to
serve the best interests of our country,
not only for the time being, but for the
commercial competition and the condi-
tions that might exist after the war"
Outside Assistance
During oss-examination Senator
Pittman charged that Chairman Hale
was using questions prepared by IAN
admiral or outside parties"

chairman is consuming valuable time
by laboriously reading long lists OF
questions which are being fired up
here every day by messenger" Sena-
tor Pittman said.
"You will recall that the Senate re-
fused the committee the assistance of
counsel and it was necessary to have
some kind of outside help" Chairman
Hale protested.
"Then apparently the will of the
Senate is being avoided by having
questions framed by an admiral or out
side parties" Senator Pittman re-
torted
'The committee will note that rep
resentative of the Navy Department is
at this moment sitting near the Sena-
tor from Nevada" Senator Hale caus-
tically replied.
IL have never asked a question writ

German Imports Needed
Put at FL Million Tons
Memorial to Reparations Com.
mission Says Reduction
Will Mean Suffering

BERLIN May 6.---The minimum i'm
ports needed by Germany for the year
ending July 81. 1922. are given in a
memorial to the Reparations Commits
sion as follows:
Food and fodder, 5,500,0O tons; fer
tilizer, 3oo.000;; coal, 2,00O,0O0; min
eral oils, $4,000; ores and metals.
s,5oo,ooo; wood, 100000; raw textiles,
100000; hides and leather, 10000;
miscellaneous, 100000.
This amounts to 21,500,000 tons as
compared with nearly 73,000,000 tons
in 1913.
The memorial points out the baneful
consequences any reductions would
have on the working population, as the
workers in the above Industries num-
ber 8,500,000, who, with their families,
represent one-sixth Of the entire popu-
lation. The memorial places the total
tonnage needed to import these ma
torials at 13,600,00O, or about one
quarter of that of 1918
Germany's pre-war mercantile ship
ping amounted to 100000 tons for this
particular transport, and therefore at
the same ratio for the 1921 imports
about 100000 tons of German ship
ping would be needed. After the
fulfillment Of the peace treaty Ger
many will be left with only 100000
tons, and she would be obliged to en-
gage 100000 gross register foreign
shipping. This, the memorial declares,
Germany in her present reduced cir
cumStances would be unable to do.

e u. S. Consuls Will Meet
Those in British Isles Plan ia
EXpedite Their Work

LONDON, May s.-All American con-
suls in the British Isles will meet in
London May 18 and 10 to work out plans
for the expeditions and efficient han
ding of the affairs of Americans in the
United Kingdom.
The meeting is deemed necessary by
Robert P. Skinner, the Consul General
in London, owing to problems arising
from the enormous increase in Ameri-
can shipping coming into United King
dom reports, passport restrictionss and
other additional work which have fallen
on the consuls as a result of the
changed conditions since the armistice
was signed.
MIR. Skinner says he hopes to adopt
plans by which the business of the
consuates may be handled uniformly
and with the least possible delay to
business men and tourists.
