BRITISH ENCOURAGE
LONDON'. — The British govern- !
ment proposes to subsidize the erec-!
tion of necessary homes for the I
people and to prevent the building!
of what are characterized as ‘‘lux- .
ury houses." This plan has been
proposed to the house of commons
by Dr. Christopher Addison, minis-'
ter of health. Dr. Addison proposed
that a subsidy of £150 should be:
offered for each house built within j
a specified time.
Austen Chamberlain, chancellor of j
the exchequer, announced that the |
treasury had agreed to lend to local j
authorities of small communities i
money for building purposes, but !
that the authorities of larger com-1
munities would have to supply their j
own resources.
Two difficulties, he said, confront-1
ed the government: that of obtain
ing money and labor, and he advised
that public opinion be aroused to
obtain both.
OVER SIX MILLION

INEARLY DRY CANADA
USING MUCH BOOZE
BIRMINGHAM, Eng.-—Sir James
Stevenson, director of a distillery,
said in a speech the other day that,
although Canada had gone largely
i “dry,” his firm was being asked to
I
i ship more goods to that country
j than when it was supposed to be
j“wet.”
They had a request from their
j agents to substitute glass stoppers
ifor corks, as, “now that-the coun
try had gone dry, corkscrews were
!difficult to obtain.”

HUN PRETENDERS
BEG LARGE SUMS;
GRAFTS EXPOSED
BERLIN'.—All the organizations
for alleviating the lot of the war
wounded have joined with the min
istry of labor to put an end finally
to the begging by the pretended
wounded soldiers who clutter the
principal streets of Berlin. On all
sides one sees men whose arms have
been "severed” (by strapping them
to their bodies), or who feign to
be suffering from shell-shock and
shake pitifully, after learning in a
Berlin school the approved methods
of shaking. Investigation has shown
that these people collect up to 300
marks daily from their faking.
The government has been carry
ing on investigations for weeks in
Berlin, Essen, Hamburg, and other
large cities, and has established the
fact that hardly five percent of the
“wounded" soldiers who are begging
are genuine. One “shaker” was
trailed to a saloon, where he ceased
shaking and drank cognac liberally
while he counted over his 300 marks,
his day’s receipts. Another “one
armed” man collected 80 marks in
two hours, in Tauentzien street, and
then was seen to slip round a corner
and unbind his missing arm. which
i
was belted to his body. In Ham
burg, of 18 men arrested only one
proved to have been wounded in 1
the war.
