ONE-HALF POPULATION OF SALONIKi UNABLE TO FIND SHELTER

(By Associated Press) SALONIKI, Greece, Oct 26. Americans who think they are suffering severely from bad housing and living conditions and high rents should get a glimpse of this congested and benighted Oriental city with its narrow, dark streets, cobbled pavements, tumble down buildings, cellar-like homes and other concomitants of poverty. There are only enough houses to shelter one-half the population of 175,-000:-The rest of the people live In tents, in huts, in the fields, or among the charred ruins of their former homes which were desolated by a great fire, that leveled the city to ashes in August, 1917, Only the wealthiest can afford anything like a fully furnished house. Whole flats or apartments are unknown : a family must be content with a single room. Rents have Increased greatly and are quite on a par with those prevailing in American cities. Tenants have no Buch legal protection against landlords as those enjoyed by New York residents. So great Is the need for space that the municipality has turned over a number of Turkish mosques in which to shelter the people. In one of these (ancient shrines 500 people live as In n great family.- They sleep on the Btone floor and live a primitive comannuity life. : Homes Are Ruined. Salonlkl is strikingly like the devastated areas of Northern Prance. Everywhere are ruined homes, tangled wreckage, and piles of dirt and debris. The government has done little toward restoring the city since the great fire which left 75,000 persons homeless and ntalled 150,000,000 property damage. The housing situation is a critical one. The local authorities have put up

several temporary structures, contain

er four to eight rooms, each room

(housing a whole family of eight or ten. Sleeping, eating and washing are done jln the same room. The Jewish Community also has erected a small number of houses, but 'they are wholly inadequate to take care of the large number of persons without homes and the constant stream of refugees from Macedonia. Hundreds of families have found refuge In the cellars and sub-cellars of the destroyed buildings. The cellars are dark, damp, cheerless and lightless. The inhabitants live like so many rats. When it rains, water often stands several inches deep on the floor. The extreme congestion has seriously affected the moral standards of the people, many of whom, before the Are, were persons of considerable Income and of good standards . of family life.

Harding Reviews Conduct of War; Says Democratic Party Must Go

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26. Senator Harding, in a pre-election statement to the American people made public here last night, declared the Republican party "goes to the people assured that they will recognize Its superiority as an instrumentality of administration and that in the election now impending they will give it the certifcate of their confidence and trust." The Republican presidential nominee criticized Democratic administration of governmental affairs, declaring "the nation is determined to be done with democracy under the mere guise of democratic forms." The Repbllcan party, he asserted, "has proposed in its platform and developed in the utterances of its leaders a program which contemplates equal opportunity for all" and "recognizes the vices of exploitation and profiteering." As to the league of nations issue Senator Harding summarized his party's position as follows: "The Republican party purposes . . . such an association of nations as will most effectively further the aspiration for world-wide and permanent peace without sacrificing any part of the independence of the American nation. It believes America can and must bear its full part in the responsibilities of the world, but it always believes that America alone must decide what that part shall be." Text of Statement. Senator Harding's statement follows : "In asking the suffrage of the American electorate this year the Republican party has in mind both the record of service from its beginnings,

whereof it is very proud, and the vision of opportunity for service in the future which its spokesmen have presented during this campaign. We are asking that a great responsibility be imposed upon us. It is a responsibility that must be measured by both the gravity of the crisis that confronts the world and the incapacity with which the present administration has met the problems of the last few years. Onerous as is the responsibility we seek, our party has no thought of evading, for it never has been guilty of that. "Democratic economic and administrative .rolicies had brought this country to the danger of disaster before the outbreak of the war in Europe. The vast expansion of our export trade and demands upon our produc

ing facilities which came with thej war saved us from immediate precipi- j

tation of that disaster. But that phase has now passed and nothing but a return to those constructive and progressive policies which have always characterized the Republican administration can save us from early realization of the danger that confronted us at the middle of 1914. Refused to Prepare. "From the beginning of the war in Europe the Democratic administration steadfastly refused to prepare for the national defense in case we should be involved. In 1916, when it was apparent to most people that our country was in imminent danger of being

drawn Into the struggle, the Democratic party made its campaign on the boast that it had kept us out of war and the promise to continue keeping us out. Thus, when we found ourselves at last in the struggle we were utterly unready for it, and our participation cost us Immeasurably more than It should have cost. "An administration that, when all the world was in conflagration, refused to realize the importance of preparedness, of course could not be expected to realize while we were at war the necessity of preparing for peace. So we entered into peace quite as unready for it as we had been for war. Our economics were disorganized, our debt enormous, our foreign commerce devoted largely to supplying the necessaries of war. "Instead of setting itself to remedying these conditions, the administration has devoted itself from the day of the armistice to promoting a project of world reorganization in which America should bear the largest responsibilities of guaranteeing a new scheme of things. Instead of making legal peace as soon as actual peace had been won, the American people, alone of all the warring nations, were denied by their government the privileges of a return to the legal status of peace and to the enjoyment of those rights which they had temporarily surrendered under the circumstances of war. Repaid With Autocracy. "So long as war was on, Republicans upheld the hands of the administration, forgetting party considerations, and gave their vote in support of war

measures far more generously than did

their political opponents. Yet an au

tocratic administration repaid this loy

alty with the demand, in the campaign of 1918, that Republicans be removed from every position of influence and power. That demand the country rejected. It was the first time in the history of this nation that an administration had been defeated in the midst of a foreign war. "That defeat would have been ample admonition to any administration not

entirely absorbed in its own peculiar policies and purposes. But it apparently was unheeded by the powers at Washington. Neglecting the acute domestic situation, the administration suddenly conceived an interest in foreign affairs that contrasted impressively with its lack of concern for them in the period before we were drawn into the war. "So, while immediate and practical concerns were being neglected, while reconstruction and reorganization of our own country were forgotten, the administration was devoting itself to the chimera of a world reorganization. The Republican congress that had been elected in the autum of 1918, attempted to, and did initiate measures to set us on the right track once more. It devised a budget system in the hope of putting an end to the treasury deficit and bringing economy and system into our national finances. But the president vetoed that measure. The administration went right on spending vast sums in excess of our revenues, offering no constructive inspiration or leadership, apparently forgetting our domestic difficulties in its engrossment with the chimera of world reconstruction. People's Confidence Lost. "This, in a word, is the record of the administration, now about to retire from oower. which seeks tn hav

j its policies perpetuated. The country

will decline to give its confidence and j Its mandate to that party or those policies.- It remembers that the Republican party fought the civil war and afterward restored and unified the nation. It believes that the Republican party is capable of repeating that service and because it so believes it is going to return the Republican party to power. "The nation ig determined to be done with autocracy under the mere

guise of democratic forms; It is de

termined that there shall be no return to the old order. The plain people.

who on the whole, have been raised

to a . new and higher level, are not only convinced that they are entitled to remain on this new plane, but that

they must rely upon the constructive

abilities of the Republican party to keep them there. It is our purpose to accomplish exactly this. While we will oppose every suggestion of revolution

or disintegration, we do stand for every measure of evolution and development that tends to carry the masses of the nation forward and upward. "During the campaign now about ending, the Republican party has proposed In its platform and developed in the utterances of its leaders a program which contemplates equal opportunity for all. Against Greed and Cunning. "It recognizes the vices of exploita

tion and profiteering. It has declared

for wise and practical measures looking, to co-operation in production and in marketing. It recognizes that, in all measures to preserve equality of opportunity, there must be a recognition of the fact that greed and cunning must be held in check if we are to insure that true character and worth shall be given every opportunity to share la the advantages that the com

munity can extend to Its members. "The Republican party purposes in the realm of international affairs such an association of nations as will most effectively further the aspirations for world-wide and permanent peace without sacrificing any part of the independence of the American nation. It believes that America can and must bear its full part in the responsibilities of the world, but. it always believes that America alone must decide what that part shall be. It goes to the people assured that they will

recognize its superiority as an instrumentality of administration and that in the election now impending they will give it the certificate of their confidence and trust."

Home Ownership Stays Reds Says Business Secretary CHICAGO, Oct 26. One million weddings were celebrated in the United States in 1919, but only 70,000 new homes were erected, F. Roger Miller, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce of Macon, Ga., told the National Association of Commercial Organization Secretaries here today in an address on "The Solution of the Housing Problem." "The United States is the only great nation In the civilized world that has ignored housing as a national problem," he said. "Only 20,000 new homes were built In 1912. Twenty times that number were needed. Our normal increase this year calls for the construction of 1,250,000 dwellings." Advocating a movement to popularize home ownership, Mr. Miller said: "Home owners do not go about with torch and bomb. Give the most illiterate foreigner a bit of land of his own and a threshold of his own to defend and the violent hootings of radicalism will drift past his ears unheeded. He owns something. The town is his town because he owns a piece of it." Describing the difficulties In financing home building, he continued: "Six per cent is the best an investor can hope to realize from any community development, and as 6 per cent is no longer considered a profit, the man who devotes his capital to the community housing enterprise must be moved by the same altruism which prompted the purchase of Liberty bonds."

HINDERMYER, TENOR TO COME THURSDAY

Arrangements are fast being completed for the unusual musical treat which will be presented on Oct. 28, at the Washington Theatre, by Harvey Hindermyer. the popular American tenor, and the Misses Dann. Mr. Hindermyer is an artist of amazing versatility. Whatever he sings, from the most difficult operatic aria, to the simplest heart song, Mr. Hindermyer gives it with a voice that la bright, musical and pure. After he has been heard, it is entirely obvious why Mr. Hindermyer is generally reengaged wherever he appears. The Dann Sisters Trio have by hard work and earnest application won for themselves an enviable place in' musical circles. These young girls, as modest as they are charming, have enchanted thousands of Americans, not only by their exquisite playing, but by their graciousness of manner. The recital Is under the local management of Harrison's Edison Shop in the Westcott Pharmacy, from whom cards of admitance may be secured by the asking.

An Old Receipe to Darken Hair

Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns Gray, Faded Hair Dark and Glossy.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound." You will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients, at very little cost. Everybody uses this preparation now, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and
