Wolcott. of the United States Food Administration, who has Just returned to Washington from official conferences with the allied I military and political leaders, ex pressed himself as "shocked at the political disturbances here." Mr. Walcott. who two and a half years ago accompanied the German army ih Poland, and who has since scored the German methods practiced in that starving country, appealed In an Interview to the American peo ple to set aside their political dif ferences for the duration of the war. During his tour Mr. Walcott visited Kngland, France, Italy, and Switzer land. "I hava Just returned from Europe." be said, "where I have spent many months during the last three years on official business, and although Republican, I am genuinely shocked at the political disturbances here, hlch will be misunderstood In Eu rope and seriously threaten to dis tract the American people at tn most critical period of the war. "If the people at home could look on at close range and .see this drive that is pushing the Hun bock to his own frontier see what It costs In life and suffering and human energy If they could realize to what ex tent our troops are fighting for an Ideal and how a decisive victory de pends upon onr thing 'team play.' "There is no time now for being hy persensltlve. There is only one thing worth, while; imly one thing of vital Importance: to present an absolutely united front and work unceasingly for that unconditional surrender which must come, which Is absolutely assured bur w hlch may be delayed days, weeks, or months by our aulb- onng and cost thousands or uver. Therefore, let us set political dlf- ferences to one side until the Hun admits he Is beaten, then we can vent bur family differences to our hearts content. It may. do us good at the rlghf time, but now.lrpeparable harm. The War has developed us and'welded us into a great haUon.

BY LACK OF LABOR A' scarcity of labor, together with a shortage of materials, is holding back the building program of the District, according to the annual' re port of Municipal Architect Snowden Ashford, which was submitted today to the District commissioners. Ten buildings were under con structlon during the last year, and a total of slightly more than a quar ter of a million dollars was spent In new construction. Appropriations for several school buildings, author ized nearly two years ago, are un spent because it was found Impos sible to secure bids within the amounts allowed by Congress. Chief among the new buildings constructed Is the municipal fish wharf and market, in Water street, between Eleventh and Twelfth streets southwest. This market was com pleted last July at a total cost of slightly more than $118,000. School construction was limited to the building of the Elizabeth V. Brown School. Connectlcuat avenue, between McKlnley and Northampton streets northwest, at a cost of $63,772 88. Other building work consisted prin cipally of additions to present struc tures and the erection or garages ror District automobiles.
