Building Permits
Set for New High
OF Recent Years

Building permits for the
week totaled $l,9e6, 100 In con-
trast to $114,50o last week.
This tops the amount listed for
the last week In June, of
| $l.164,775, which was the high
est in several years.
A permit of $l.7o0.O00 for
three-story brick and cinder-
block apartments on Hayes
street NE. for Negro occupan-
cy accounted for the increase.
They will be called Mayfair
Mansions and will be a contin-
uation Of the work started as
Mayfair Gardens, which was
held up pending company reor-
ganization. This construction
will provide 594 family living
units.
When completed Mayfair
Mansions will represent an in
vestment Of about $4,000, 600,
which includes play areas for
children of all ages A thsater
and extensive shopping area
are also in the plan. This, with
other large developments now
building, should bring Washing
ton near the top of the list in
efforts to provide better hous-
ing for Negroes.
Dun g. Bradstreet report
shows Washington 14th on a
list OF the 20 leading cities that
chalked up building increase
Of 1877 per cent for the first six
months of 1914. With the ex-
tensive private building now
under way and that contem-
plated in the next few months
1t probably will step up into the
top brackets before the end of

i HEADQUARTERS l4th AIR
FORCE IN CHINA, July 20 (De-
Ilayed) Maj. Gen. Claire L. Chen.
|nault said today that II Germany
Is beaten this year the defeat OF ia.
pan will come within six months
thereafter.
The commander of the l4th All
Force declared In an interview that
1.-THE Japanese drive to seal of an
inner defense zone In China by con-
quest OF all the Hankow- Canton
line actually would shorten the war
because Of its suicidal aspects.
For many years." he said, 1T has
been my opinion that Japanese
tactics are outstanding and their
strategy very poor.
II have always felt it would be
to the advantage Of the Allied effort
against Japan II we could draw
them into a campaign involving
large numbers of troops In the in
terror Of China, then wear them
out"
Drive Costly to Japs.
The Japanese in their campaign
along the railway now are losing in
Human Province men and materials
soon to be needed for defense Of
areas closer in, Gen. Chennault
said. He estimated the enemy had
risked 100000 men in the southwark
drive.
Even If the Japanese capture
strategic Hengyang, rail city of
Human Province which they now
have encircled, and join with those
pressing north from Canton, Gen.
Chennault said they would be sub
jected to terrible punishment from
l4th Air Force bombers and Chinese
regulars and guerrillas.
The enemy's main difficulty, he
asserted, was that her defense per-
imeter had been penetrated by
American forces who seized the Is
land of Sai2an.
Sees Enemy Effort Futile.
"The Japanese always are behind
time In strategy" he said. Their
offensive should have come q year
ago-tWo years ago would have
been better. They are now trying
to consolidate their position In
China to utilize the land lines of
communication and manpower re-
sources that are found along these
lines.
"The campaign cannot achieve the
results Japan expects. don't
believe they will succeed in their
objectives of clearing the railways
to Canton and Kweilin."

War

Negros. The Yanks met only token
resistance on the newly.e tablished
beachheads, while on Los Negros
they rendered more untenable the
Japanese positions. On the latter
isle, the enemy now is operating
only In platoon strength, having
been sliced into tiny forces by the
invaders.
Another powerful aerial blow was
dealt the once-proud enemy strong
hold OF Rabaul on invaded New
Britain Island. American warplanes
OF all types cooperated to blast the
base with III tons OF high explo-
sives: many explosions and numer-
Gus fires were started on key wa
terfront and airdrome facilities.
Similar treatment was melted out
TO the japanese bastion at Wewak.
in New Guinea. Some 112 tons Of
bombs cascaded down on the Bor-
am airstrip, while gun emplace-
ments were destroyed and the en-
tire area was enveloped under a
pail OF smoke resulting from the
Dlazes set by the bombing.
Raid Wake island
Another heavy raid, the heaviest
to date. was unleashed against the
former American-held base Of Wake
Island. Some so tons OF bombs
dropped on Japanese positions as
,long-range Army and Navy bomb
ers treated that outpost to its 18th
Allied assault OF the war.
The air war in Europe was still
under way with the British air min.
istry officially announcing that tar.
gets in enemy-occupied territory
were hammered during the night
by Royal Air Force planes. AL
though the initial Raj communicate
failed specifically to mention the
detectives, the German radio de-
clared that Allied bombers were
flying over the Frankfort area.
The attacks followed close on
the heels OF yesterdays daylight
assaults, highlighted by American
Fortress onslaughts against anti
invasion defenses in the Pas de
Calais area OF northern France.
Sweep Forward
In Russia, the Red Army swept
forward along flaming 400-mile
Ukrainian front and bid fair to deal
the enemy one OF It's most telling
defeats since Stalingrad. Veterans
Of the battle OF Stalingrad were in
the vanguard OF the third Ukrain-
ian army which unhinged the low
er end OF the Nazi defense line by
capturing the important port of
kherson.
Fall OF this city increased the
threat 10 the important German
naval base OF Nikolayev. The Rus
sian spearhead drove to within 28
miles OF this latter stronghold and
Black Sea port, while to the north
east OF Nikolayev another Red Ar
my column was the same distance
away at Dobroye. The continued
Soviet advance with the constant
arrival OF reinforcements, threat.
ened to collapse the whole Nazi line
In that area.
Kherson was taken by the Red
Army after tank and infantry COL
umns forced the lower Dnieper
River and stormed into the city on
the heels OF routed Nazi troops.
Bitter street fighting followed and
resulted in Soviet occupation OF the
town.
In other sectors OF the long east
ern front. the Red army inflicted
heavy losses upon the enemy. The
