On the contrary it sees} énly continued high cost of building for years to come, with still] greater scarcity of houses and stil] higher rents. To avert a housing crisis far worse than the present, the Com- mission insists that building opcrations must begin and begin right! —_ is grr) rongewnme, NATION y } away. Y Who is to begin them? With what inducements and on what terms? And how is the constfuction of.a sufficient proportion of the low-rent dwellings chiefly and most imperati needed, to be assured ? Answers to these all-important questions are not yet fortb- coming. There are vague proposals to raise a $10,000,000 or $20,000,000 fund to finance prowpt building. fer loans from the public money analogous to the farm loans already familiar to Americans. But the speculative enterprise, upon which hopes really centre, rakes no pledges—says nothing. The crisis is at the stage when overybody agrees that something MUST be done, but nobody has courage to do anythi vely ee Suggestions are made ee we ae ee es : { Why not make a start by attacking the housing problem of | overcrowded New York with a double-headed plan—a plan calcu- i lated to make progress by putting in action two forces? | ¥ Since it is admitted the fundamental trouble is in the fact that there are far too many people jammed together in certain sections of the city; : Since nobody will provide new housing for these people at ronts they can pay; . Since the old style tenements in which they live are deteri- erating and disappearing, making congestion constantly worse; Why not put it in the power of as many as possible of these city toilers to solve their own housing problems, better themselves and their condition and at the same time relieve the intolerable pressure of increasing city population?

E was James Wolfe, a British officer's son. His carliest ambition was to make good as a soldier. And be set about the task of making good in that direction, at om age when most boys are still in grammar school. At thirteen he joined the British Army, At four teen he bad won a Lieutenancy and incidentally a reputation for dauntless bravery. At seventeen his x inborn military genius had advanced him to the rank | =, of Captain, | When Wolfe was but nineteen he fought with such heroism at the goi | Battle of Culloden that he was publicly thanked on the field by the Co ‘mander in Chief. At twenty-three he was a Colonel and had begun ‘attract attention from the War Office as one of the most promising office! | of his day. | Bven at the time he had won bis Lieutenancy, he had been noted An“iron disciplinarian, yet as an officer whose men loved and trusted hi and whom they followed with blind enthus' | | | | ‘i ® These traits grew more and more pronounced if Lieutenant i the years went on, ‘ at Fourteen. He had made good in his chosen profession * arms. And because he bad thrown his whole ener 4 into his work he was ready for the test when Tchance presently came for him to win immortality. | France and England were in the thick of a struggle whose outeo! ‘was to decide the future of America. Both nations coveted the rich ritory which was later to be the United States. France seemed desti | to seize the mighty prize. | ‘The French held practically all the explored parts of our country fro | the mouth of the Mississipp! to northernmost Canada, The Engiish own |only a thin strip of land along the Atlantic Coast which was split | into thirteen colonies. | France sought to sweep the English into the sea and annex the whol land as a province to be known as “New France.” They had one trem dous advantage over their British rivals, in the fact that the Indians wer friendly to the French and ‘hated the English. The French had alway; | been able to get on well_with the redskins and to win their love and t | ‘The English had almost hever come into contact with the Indians witho | quarrelling. | The Indians, therefore, allied themselves with the French against British, And the “French and Indian” War followed, England was slow in vending sufficient troops to the aid of her Am ican colonies.

By the time the ‘ had advanced to its final stage he realized that } fall of Quebeo would mean the defeat of France he found the answer, America. But Quebec was all but impossible to storm to besiege. Wolfe studied the problem, and at len He proposed a daring plan which his fellow oMcers declared Wolfe insisted, and he threatened to leave the army unless he | chance to put his idea into practice.
