Responding to a request of the
State Department for cooperation in
providing suitable housing accommo-
dations for the delegates to the dis
armament conference, the Washington
Real Estate Board today announced the
appointment of special committee,
headed by John r. Story. to represent
the board in handling arrangements in
this connection,
The board has assued the State De-
paTtment OF its willingness to place its
organization at the service of the
embassies Of the various foreign gov
ernments having representation in the
conference. 1t was stated
The special committee already has
met and outlined some preliminary
plans and will get to work in a practi-
cal way as soon as definite informa-

Hotel Men Asked to Aid,
Hotel men. through their local or
ganization, also have been asked by the
State Department to assist in caring

to Washington for the parley. The

operation In finding places for the dele

The State Department, it was
learned today. is Thoroughly con-
tent" with the spirit of co-operat ation
which has been manifested by the
civic and business organizations of
Washington and by the citizens of the
Capital. undersecretary Fletcher
has been pleased to find that in
answering to the call for aid in
housing and otherwise caring for the
hundreds Of delegates Washington
has shown a determination to Law
aside all thought of personal gain or
glory and has entered into the pre-
liminary stages of the preparations
with will that overrides obstacles
and insures satisfaction.
The cltizenry of the National Capt.
tai realizes that in helping the gov
ernment entertain and house the of
fetal guests of the nation they are
performing privilege never before
presented on so large-a- scale, in the
observation Of State Department Of

Definite arrangements for finding
houses and Offices for the foreign diplo-
mats during their stay in WASHINGTON
are being held in allegiance by the fact
that actual figures on the number of
conferees to expect are not available
at present. The State Department, it
was learned today. has received esti-
mates of the probable size of the
delegations from most Of the ave
countries to be represented, but in
view Of the probability of wide vari-

Not Ready to Fix Tax Rate.
Commissioner Rudolph said today
that there Is no foundation for re-
ports that a tax rate Of So per 500 of
assessed value on real estate and
tangible personal property has al
ready been decided on for the fiscal
year beginning next July.
The fixing of the tax rate, he pointed
out. Is an entirely separate question
from the estimates. and cannot be
fixed until after the next appropria-
ton bill IL passed by Congress-.
It Is true the law requires the Com
missioners to limit their estimates to
double the amount Of revenue they
expect to collect in the fiscal year
1S22-1923. and in complying with that
law the Commissioners must have
some idea Of the amount of revenue
to be collected. -
Highest Figure fs q.
Under the law 81 Is the highest tax
rate the Commissioners may fix. The
city heads may use this maximum
rate or they may use the present rate
Of $1.s2 in compiling their estimates.
But whatever rate they assume in
compiling the estimates will not
necessarily be the tax rate for the
next fiscal year. That rate can
be determined, Mr. Rudolph pointed
out, only after the Commissioners
know.what tho actual appropriations
win 10 for. the next fiscal year.

Of peace with the United States was

Negotiations for peace between the

many and Hungary. have been in
progress for some time.
BY the Associated Press.
Word that treaty of peace with
Austria had been signed, received in
an Associated Press dispatch from
Vienna, caused some surprise today at
the State Department here. where Of
ficialS said the expectation had been
that the negotiations would be con-
tinued for several days.
Although the Same official silence
has surrounded prospective treaties
with Austria and Hungary AS shroud
ed the German treaty until today. it
was learned that negotiations have
been under way at both Vienna and
Budapest for several weeks. The
negotiations at Vienna were carried on
by Arthur Hugh Frazier. the American
commi ssoner there, and at Budapest
by L. Grant Smith. the American COM
missioner to Hungary.
The nature of the treaty with Aus
tria and of that under negotiation with
Hungary are understood to be the
same in principal as the German
treaty. They are expected to be fol-
lowed by treaties Of commerce and
amity.
Officials in discussing the signature

The weather at Pulham was improv-
ing hourly. and it was expected the
airship would sail for that place to-
day, landing this afternoon or even

communicating weather conditions
between ground stations and the
ZR-2 probably saved the big airship
from a disastrous encounter with the

ported.
One of the survivors, named Bate

plans and in land development work
in addition to continuing the regular
work of dredging the Anacostia river.

reclamation processes.
A like amount was requested of
Congress for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1922, but the appropriation
actually made was 100000. or one
third the estimate submitted by en-
gineer officers.
Active Operations Stopped.
AS result of the she age of funds
it was necessary to disc, ntinue active
operations of a major character Sep
tember 10. 1920, it is learned. as the
funds would have been exhausted in
one or two months, with not enough
left even to place watchmen on the
floating plant or provide for any one
to look after records, it is declared
Work has been carried on up to the
Benning road, where an actual bar
rier has been created by Congress
against further work on the upper
portion of Anacostia Park by a linn
itation placed in the last District of
Columbia appropriation act. This
limitation is to the effect that all
money appropriated by that act
should be expended below Benning
road. between the Benning bridge and
the Anacostia and Pennsylvania Ave-
nue. bridges. This restriction pre-
vents the initiation of any work to-
ward placing a proposed draw-span
in the Benning twin bridges" so
that various dredges. derrick boats
and eXcavating plants cannot ascend
the Anacostia river to engage in
necessary preparatory work of build
ing leyies, etc. to form an fmpound-
ing basin into which the larger
dredges later pump eXcavated mate
rial, it is reported.
Made Ground Obtained.
The entire section between the Ana
costa and Pennsylvania Avenue
bridges has been reclaimed to date.
Transforming the territory from a
marsh into made ground" The
reclamation process consists in deep
ening the channel Of the river by
dredging and pumping the excavated
planned. 1t is estimated that a total
of 100000 cubic yards of dredged
material has been removed.
When the floating plant and equip
ment valued at 100000 used in this
work is allowed to lie idle through
lack of funds, engineers state. there
result not only direct losses in de-
terioration but intangible losses in
efficiency Of the working organization
and stoppage Of regular maintenance.
These losses. it is said, are impossible
of actual calculation. but must be in
cluded as part Of the cost which does
not appear but which is involved in
handling the project.
So far all the land covered by the
parking plans up to the ABenning
bridges, where work h4s been
estopped, has been purchased. con-
tracted for or condemned.

during the first trials Of the ZR-2 a
tendency Of the giant dirigible to

ton revealed the fact that certain
girders had bent and that lattice
work had buckled under the strain.
Remedial measures were taken, the

able reinforcement Of the framework
along much Of the airship's length.
In addition to the structural trouble.
the Observer asserted. the ZR-2 had
been handicapped by engine difficulty.
