HOUSING SITUATION Mayor Hylan Favors Using * City's Sinking Fund on Loans for Dwellings. New York, Aug. 24.-- New York city faces a housing situation this fall no less acute than that which Jast spring caused an army of, ten- ants to march on Albany demanding new rent laws. Last spring the immediate prob- lem which faced legislators was pas- sage of measures which would pro- tect tenants in a city where every 'dpartment was at a premium from grasping landlords. Next fall the problem which is expected to engage attention of state law makers is the encouragement of apartment. house building. * Experts have given it as their opinion that next fall, instead of hav- | more flats, New York's meager supply will be depleted by several | Bundred. The reason, they said, was that demand for office space, espe- had caused many property owners to raze old apartments for construction of com- mercial establishments which they could rent' at higher prices. Some experts asserted that rent laws pass- ed last spring, designed to check the meteoric rise of rents, had 'tended |. to check building of houses. ~ Various plans have been suggested for encouragement of home building, co-operative ventures and the city'; lag. fund fo i on 8 OF mortgage: he Mttef 'pln has been advocated by Mayor Hylan, who is seeking to es- tablish the legality of such action.

London. Aug. 25.--Poland's re- ply to the peace terms presented by the Russian Soviet delegation at Minsk amounts to a flat rejection, says the A Manchester Guardian's Minsk correspondent in a wireless despatch filed in that city Monday.

Washington, Aug. 25.--The Chil- ean Government has bought the warship Canada and four light cruisers from the British Govern- ment and it is rumored that six more British Bsstioyery of ther 900-ton type are to be purchased by Chile. The balance of power in South Am-~ | grica has been badly dislocated by these additions to the Chilean fleet, and it is already evident that Brazil, Argentina and Peru are taking a decided interest in the matter of in- creasing their naval strength. Word has been received here that She Commanding Admiral of the Chilean navy has sailed with his staff from Valparaiso for Arica on the battleship O'Higgins. The Tae- na-Arica boundary dispute has been a source of controversy between Chile and Peru for years, and there are indications of another conflict between the two countries over it. Chile has 12,000 troops in Arica and is making preparations to receive 3,000 more there. In quarters where all international moves are watched with interest the sale of the British warships to Chile is not construed as shewing any ef- fort. on Great Britain's part to as- sist Chile in preparations for war. There is a general agreement that the British Government is entirely innocent of such intention. The news of the sale of the Canada and 8 number of destroyers to Chile is officially interesting to observers of international affairs as showing a new naval policy on the part of the British Admiralty.
