'.,'- v War Times in Washington (Bv Mcrv Tr-.iax.) . 'A ouiet lonesome little village of the east, ashmgton used to be be fore the war. The clean white broad streets stretched for miles, with its groea pnrks.nud throe-story buildings on. either side, and the breeze' whis pered to the trees, the storv of its shadowy history. The louclv inhab itants Walked back and forth, un harmed and unmolested, looked wise ly around at their slowly moving com panions and breathed forth the spirit of happiness and contentment. But now where are these lingering contented Washingtonians? The influx of voting blood has crowded them out: the old and once contented nhabitants' have crept back into their Ipddcn homes where tliev can look out with wondering eves upon the bust ing mob. which lias shamefully de prived them of their long accoustomed walks. 'Washington is no longer a village of the District of Columbia and 1 a state of Maryland it is a citv of America. Washington now, is a city o Young blood, from every walk in life and from every state in the uu-ion- iust young America Jmddled in one muss, united under one flag and working for the same cause. ''' - During war tune. Washington has been so crowded, a vacant room was not to be found in the citv.- Throe and four girls were placed in a room, originally meant to hold but one. Washington hiid' never seen so many people before and was unprepared to house them. The owners of the houses saw their chance to take ad vantage of congested affairs, and the result was high rents and high prices. Girls paid a common price of $40 to $50 a month for a little room with three roommates and two meals of hash a day. ' ' ''''-" . '- Existence here' was something like the life of our Jiovs in France. In stead of wading in dirty water in a trench, and cuting beans from n kit. we stand in line with tired and ach ing feet, and empty oiir purses at the lunch counter in order "to get' a dish of half baked beans. Instead of jumping into a river or tank for a bath, perhaps, .we : wait patiently in line at the bath, roomuntil fifteen of our war worker companions of tbe same house have had their turn in 't lie "once but long-gone"; warm water. One war worker-was' right when she said: "I have stood in line in a hope less group' On' a street-car platform and watched several' jammed cars go thundering .bv: and then after some gymnastic stunts, landed on the sec ond step of the last car. and been nulled iin;tp the platform bv sympa thetic passenger, iust in' titne'to hear the door slam violently behind me. I have stood in Iirie with mv letters at mv'postofficc: with mv check be fore the bank window. With ;mv pass before the -gate: I Jiaye' stood in line in front of the church on the Sab bath and been turned, awav at the eiitrance." .;;t t '.-.' The boys can say they have been through the fighting line, 'but the girls have been throiigh ' the mill. '- " -. To see the girls pouring out of the government Buildings at 4:30- after their day's work is!done, woiild: put voti in mind of a hive of bees let loose. The girls are in Washington 96.000 strong, all working for 'Unele Sarii. Even the soldiers do not form a small part of the crjiwd. The capitol citv is surrounded bv some of the, biggest camps of the east.- Boys come from Fort Mevcr. Camp Meade. Ouahtico,' Washington Barracks.- American Uni-. versitv and other smaller stations. , A crowd of war -worker's, boys, and girls': some one from -every state iny the union, and every one a stranger; a stranger among strangers. , ! ., ' v During mv stay in Washington, I have only talked to about eight peo ple who live hero cennaiicntlv. Jlere is a conversation , with one' of lliein'i Wuslungtonianf ' ''Did von'nH'nome f work in th wnr departrr'-Mt''". 1 War Worker: "Yes." '. Wnshiuatou'ian : "Where did you all colno fromf " Wnr Worker: "Oregon." " Wasliingtonian: "Let's see, Ore gon, where is that. That's about two duvs' ride from here, isn't itf War Worker: "Dou't you know where Oregon isf": 1 : ; Wnshinstoninn : "Oh. ves. ves : it's out somewhere near Washington state isn't itt" . , ' : i Wnr Worker: "Ycri, it. is way out among the Indians." '-. ,' ' Wasliingtonian: "Yes. I know now. that's still a prettv wild country, isn't itf" Wnr Worker: "It may bo wild, but it beats the buck woods of the cast. Have vou traveled mnoh?" Washingtoninn : "Yes. so to speak, was down in Virginia onco. Do Ihev have roads and automobiles out in Oregon I'' War Worker; "You come out and 5ce. I will take von over some real roads among the Siskivotts so fast it will be like riding in an aeroplane." Wasliingtonian: "Yes. iujleed. but t never expect to get that tar away from home." 1 And h expact he will probably get as fur as Chesepcake Heach and eat co'n bread the rest of his life. ' Kut herds a real conversation: . "Where have vou been, bov?" "Just got back from France last month and transferred to Camp Meade before discharge. Sav. where arc vou from, not from this part of '.he countrvf " - - "No. 1 came from Oregon." ,; - "You did. vou little westerner! And I came from California ; and it's a hcavenl place, isn't itf? "But why don't vou like it here?" " "Oh, I do in a wv. but the west is a place that moves 1 1 love to see the sun set on the wnters. ies. the west is home, we see some one we know, and I guess that is the reason it is the.. best 'Country after all." So we arc. strangers to-strangers as friends are to friends. The climax of Washington's history came the night peace was declared Everyonewas celebrating: oven the old dared to trust their lingering feet for a few hours in the eurlv dnwn of the evening. "; 'Pennsylvania avenue. the lighted boulevard and pride of the citv was ' mass of nobbing honds, Sailors Serpentined iheir wnv thru the crowds, and sold ers ' sane the songs of the nation.' An automobile horn could not be hcurd 10 feet away, for everybody in that busy crowd had a horn of their pwh, -;f' .". " ' Around the Elipze. one of Washing ton's-circular parks. was built 48 bond -fires, each fire representing a stntc'in the union:, in the center of all. bond fires, was a blaze represent ing our capitol' eitvy:-? Large crowds were gathered around each, and ev erywhere the buzzing 0f. voices -coitld be heard, expounding .upon the merits of their own state: j ',. ',:.' ' v'Away- frjm the niobi far off. hi the nifitanee. rose the Capitol, white in its stately splendor and lighted with the iov, that the armistice' was signed. Above all, in the heavens, circled the aerojilancs, in triumph that victory was won. The flash . lights which for si many months, ' turned their searching- plnre upon the monument. upon the capitol and upon the ncror planes."not losing their maneuvers for one second, but following every lhove- incnt.-' The aeroplanes cre like birds of gold as the light reflected' from their glazed wings, flvine up there too far away even to hear the least buz zing of their motors. - i ' ' In thcr heighth 'of her glory1, was Washington, oii the night pence was in vie.
