A commences de JUNO, ell Condo
de Selborne, Ministro de la Guer-
raEcon6mica del RENO Undo, de-
clar6 que los ataques aereos con-
centrados sobre las ciudades ale
manas habian producldo la des-
trucci6n o serias averias de mas
de un million de edificios en- %
ciudades alemanas. Antes de la
guerra, en- 1888, Alemania y Aus
tria poseian en- total 17,800,00O
viviendas para nj poblacion, en-
aquellos momentos, de $500, 900

Ley declare por entonces que Sc
necesitan 100000 mas y ell ms
tituto de Investigaciones Econo-
micas de Alemania cifr6 ell ndme-
ro necesario en- 1000, 600. Te-
niendo en- cuenta la destruction
del million de viviendas dentro del
ano mencionado anteriormente y
ell paro absolute de todas las con-
strucciones civiles durante dicho
periodic, Alemania carece ahora
de 4,5O0,0OO viviendas.
No es, pues, sorprendente que
las autoridades alemanas esten
dictando 6rdenes que, en- vista de
la natural excitaci6n de las gentes
aparecen, por primera vez, estar
basadas en- un principle ',volunta-
RIO. En- realidad estas 6rdenes
no son otras cosas que requisas o.
b~ligatorias de alojamientos. La
orden a que nos referimos dice a

esten totalmente ocupadas seran

Esto ofrecia un aspecto de sua-
vidad desacostumbrada. Pero, al
dfa siguiente, en- una emission de

la VOC del pueblo y la de la ley,
Sc dijo 10 siguiente: "Las perso-

Coolidge, Wilson Must
Score to Remain in
Running for Crown
High School StandinKs,

An important week end for high
school basket ball series teams
comes up tonight and tomorrow
night in the double headers sched-
uled at Tech gym. Eastern and
Roosevelt already have won places
in the playoffs, leaving two to be
fought for among Central, Tech,
Wilson and Coolidge.
Coolidge and Wilson, meeting
Eastern and Roosevelt. respectively,
in tonight's double bill are expected
to have plenty of trouble adding
much-needed victories. Eastern has
bowled over such good teams as
Tech, Wilson and Central during
its five-game winning streak in the
series. while Coolidges two VIC
tories were at the expense of West
ern and Anacostia, which are out
of the running.
Wilson has done a little better
and shouldn't be too much of an
underdog against Roosevelt tomor-
row. It's most important victory
was one pointer over Tech, which
defeated Roosevelt by two points.
Saturday nights big game is the
opener at 7:30 o'clock between Gen.
tral and Tech. Central has won one
more game than have the Maroons,
but the Viking team was hurt a lit
tie by February graduations. Tech
ordinarily would be the favorite, but
is rated no more than an even choice
after the way it has skidded in
recent games.
Tomorrow nights finale will be
between Western. and Anacostia,
with the loser earning last place
in the series.
