PELTZ SAYS DEALERS FIND CASH SHORTAGE SLOWS UP BUILDING Building operations are being delayed by the- inability of prospective builders to get loans, according to John E. Pelt z, who has just returned from attending a convention" of real estate dalers, held in 'Chicago. ' Mr. Peltz said that speakers at the convention gave this as-the most important, reason for the slump in building. Banks, according to the speakers, are lending money on short term loans, thereby making a greater rate of interest than can be realized from loans to builders. .Where cash is on hand, people are continuing ta build, it was said. But the Impossibility to get fund3, ven on a first mortgage, ia the situation confronting the would-be builders. It is estimated that there are now 117 families for every 100 houses in the United States. USE INDUSTRIAL FUND - FOR 10 YEARS MORE .

FORMER GERMAN CRUISER GOES TO BOTTOM

AFTER FOUR HOUR By Associated Press) NEWPORT NEWS. Va.. July 19. The former German cruiser Frankfurt is lying on the floor of the Atlantic today with the six other former enemy craft disposed of in recent bombing and target practice off the Virginia Capes as the result of a successful attack by army and navy fliers yesterday which continued all day before the cruiser was sent to the bottom. Surviving 11 direct .hits, six with small bombs of 250 to 300 pounds, scored during the first phase of the attack, and five with heavier bomb3 up to 600 pounds, the cruiser received its death blow from a 600-pounder hurled from one of a squadron of six army Martin planes which proceeded to the attack from Langley Field, Va., late in the day. Although failing to hit the target, the bomb, as observed from one of the naval vessels at the scene, ex ploded with such terrific force on striking the water a few feet from the starboard bow that the Frankfurt was literally lifted up several feet. As the vessel began to settle gradually by the head, the end was hastened by two more 600-pound bombs planted close to the port bow by another army plane. The cruiser disappeared 28 minutes after the fatal blow. Attack Opened by Navy A total of 78 bombs were launched at the Frankfurt by naval and army aircraft which came 85 miles from Hampton Roads and Langley Field. The navy planes were the first to at tack, beginning at 9:12 o'clock, and one direct hit was scored by the first division of F-5-0 seaplanes to go into action. This projectile hit aft of the three funnels on the cruiser and damaged the upper works in the immediate vicinity. An army Martin . bomber made a direct hit at 11:55 o'clock with a three hundred pound bomb which exploded on the starboard side between the second and third funnels, tearing a hole in the deck and several shell plates off the hull at the upper deck line. Then the official observers went aboard at the conclusion of the first phase of the operations with the small bombs. They found that besides the two bombs which were seen to explode on board, four others had struck the craft, but failed to explode. Secona Phase Opens. The second phase of the attack carried out by navy and army Martin bombers with 520 and 600 pound bombs furnished the real thrill of the day. The navy Martins opened it at 2:29 p. m. and scored an immediate hit the explosion earing a hole in the port side of the deck near the first funnel, but the protective deck was undamaged. Another bomb from the three navy Marlins struck near the stern of the ship and passed through the hull, coming out on the waterline, failing to explode. Still another passed through a search light platform on the main mast, wrecking the searchlight and landing at the base of the mast, twisting and tearing the deck plating and tearing awaypait of the steel plating around the base of the aftersmoke stack. While observers were aboard for inspection, a fleet of six army Martin ROTARIAN DESCRIBES DEMPSEY RING FIGHT "Better than Irvin S.

ATTACK BY AIR FORGE

bombers arrived from Langley field t and circled about overhead. Four of t the six army Martins went into action The first six bombs dropped by these craft were short of or over the target but the sixth and seventh launched by the same plane, struck the target amidships, the 1,200 pounds of bombs exploding with a vivid flash of fire. Ship Sinks Rapidly. Three more bombs were dropped by the army craft without effect, but the twelfth bomb sent down struck near the bow, giving the ship her death blow.

ROBINSON CRUSOES ON ISLAND SEE ONE SHIP IN LAST YEAR (By Associated Press) HONOLULU, T. H., July 19. Life on Palmyra Islands, several hundred miles southwest of Hawaii, is lonely to live there and prepare copra from the cocoanut groves, according to advices from them. Colonel and Mrs. William Ming and Edwin Benner, who went there last October, have seen but one vessel, an American navy craft, since they stepped ashore on Palmyra's quiet beach. When that ship recently came to Honolulu it brought an accumulation of mail from the three telling of life on the cocoanut isles. The daily routine consists mostly of building trays on which to lay the cocoanuts, they related. These trays are about 100 feet long and three feet wide, and day after day the nuts are gathered, gouged and left open in the sun to dry. Watch for Rain The little colony keeps close watch on the weather, for an hour's shower may spoil a lot of copra. As rain and thunderstorm appear to be fairly regular visitors at Palmyra, weather forecasting has become an important factor in ( the work. The islands of the groups are so close together that the Mings and Benner frequently wade from one to another, always, however, with a wary eye out for sharks. Fish are plentiful and furnish much of their food, while occasionally a bird dinner varies the monotony. Shoes soon became a problem. They thought they had a plentiful supply, but wet weather and heavy tramping quickly wore down their stock and the three Palmyrans have been "building" their own footwear for some time from the rough material provided by nature. Palmyra Islands,' which have been leased for their copra by a Honolulu syndicate, are the property of Henry E. Cooper, who is said to have bought them from their English owners for $750 and brought them under the American flag. RAILROAD SITUATION IS BEFORE PRESIDENT (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, July 19.
