Drop in German
Male Population
Shown by Census

Either Germany's war hssses were
concealed. or y5oo.e 900 males have de-
parted from the country unknown.
This fact is revealed in census
figures communicated to the DE-
partment of Commerce yesterday by
Economist Consul Maurice Parmelee
at Berlin.
The hnal draft Of the 1920 census,
according to Mr.. Parmelee. shows an
excess of 2.S5o,oo0 females over
males In 1910 the excess was only
$4,000.
.Tnasmuch as German losses on
the field of battle usually have been
estimated at about 100000, this
figure would account for only three
fourths Of the excess of females, :"
commented Mr.. Parmelee.
In spite OF the tremendous excess
Of females over males. the marriage
rate rose from III in 1913 to 14.s
in 1920, tho figures also show. The
birthrate is failing, but with the
present high marriage rate, a mark
ed increase is expected in the next
few years, according TO the Ameri-
can consul.

Senate's Action Approved
By Rent Commissioners

"Cnscrupulous landlords would
throw 5000 or 10000 people from
their homes IL the Ball rent act is
not extended until May %, 1872
declared william F. GUIDE. rent
commissioner, in discussing the
Ball rent act extension approved
by the Senate yesterday.
These rent hogs would raise the
rents to such an exorbitant price
that thousands of tenants would he
without homes. The cry for homes
is needed today just as much as il
was years ago" he declared.
Mrs. Clara Sears Taylor. rent
commissioner. said last night II the
extension CT the Ball rent act is
passed by the House and signed by
the President II would mean that
thousands Of people during the
winter months would not be COM
PEELED. through high rents, to quit
their homes. She declared that
100, 900 people in the city are mad
equately housed. If the extension
OF the Bail rent act is not made a
law, she said. thousands Of tenants
would be Obliged to share their
apartments with others in order to
meet the demand of high rents.
Living In such songested condi-
lions, their health would be en-

what he declared were exorbitant
rent prices are part of the equip
ment of the national government
over which Congress has direct
control.
He cited a ruling of the Illinois
Supreme Court charging ware
houses with public use and per-
hitting the regulation of prices
for storing grains and declared the
rent question in Washington is
analogous and the government has
a right to regulate the storing"
or housing of its employees
Says Emergency Continues.
The emergency continues to ex-
list, despite the fact that the war
is closed. because, with the popula-
ton reduced by 100000 and new
houses built in large numbers, rent
prices have not declined.
Senator Brandegee, of Connect
cut. opposed the amendment on the
ground that it interfered with pri-
vatc contracts. Contracts between
landlords and tenants, made before
there was any appeal to the Rent
Commi ssion, may be broken with
impunity by renters under the Ball
law, he declared Such a law is in
derogation of the best interests of
the public.
Senator Bell denied that the law
permits landlords to be unjustly de-
prived of their rights. He said the
SSinn Ntraf0ha both aidas
of every controversy, demanding
fairness OF owners of property as
well as Of the tenants. He declared
that hotels had doubled their rates
in the face of the Elks convention
and the recent Presidential inaugur-
al, and that now, when rents should
be reduced. they are. in some in
stances increased. ProfiteerinS on
people who must pay rent is one
of the worst evils. according to
Senator Ball. and unless surbed by
the government. there Is no protec-
ton for the citizens. nor the tens
of thousands of government en-
ployees.
Senator Pomerene denied that the
rent law has any adverse effect
upon building, declaring that build
ing operations are progressing in
cities that have no rent commissions
because of the lower prices for
building materials and labor. He
said renters are paying more than
they. can afford to pay and that
the government cannot continue
raising salaries upon which land
lords wish to fatten.
s. Under tho special order the
amendment was called up shortly
after two, o'clock and speeches were
limited to ten minutes.
Property for business purposes
other than housing is exempted
from the operation of the law.
All property rented for houses
however. including apartment
houses, except where stores are To-
Gated in apartments. will continue
under the control of the District
Rent Commission. Another amend
