I? 13- W f?t AtNDMl Washington. Auk 13 ? A youna map who loft England some 25 years ago with little more In his grip sack than a prayer and a hope, has returned to the British Isles to finance and construct what promlsos to be one of the most luxurious hotels In all Eu rope. In the years that have elapsed between a dream and Its frui tion. this same young man hat virtually carried the capital city of the United States through a great crisis. Harry Wardman. al most alone has solved the housing problem In Washington. after carrying the capital through the period of war expansion. It was estimated here today that betwoen 50,000 and 60,000 persons ? one eighth the total pop ulation of the city ? are housed In apartments and dwellings con-i ?Iructed by the young Yorkshire man who ventured forth to the new world a quarter of a century ago and plckod upon the then quiescent Washington as the scone of his endeavors. Some Idea of the Wardman "dreams," which constantly have caused his friends, his associates and the public in general to gasp, can be had from the fact that In one apartment house built by him there are residing {today 4,000 persons.? a community twice the size of the entire town of Day ton. Tennessee, where the 8copos trial was held a month. Each morning the manager of thlf apartment aends forth a cleaning brigade to mop up five mllea of / hallway. Wardman has financed and con structed In Washington some thing like 400 apartment build ings and more than 5.000 dwell ing*. While he has been In Eng land the past several months hlB organization hero has been going forward with Its construction pro gram. for Washington today has a permanent population as large as its transient maximum during tbe world war effort. Harry Wardman is a sentimen talist as well as a financial and building wizard. One of his pet .projects recently was wrockod on the rock of sentlmentallsm. Ward man had dreamed of construct ing a hotel looking out over the White House ground. After long negotiation he obtained an option on the old John Hay property at the corner of Bixteenth street and I* Fayette Park, directly oppo site the White House. Plans for the hotel were drawn. One sweep ing tide of It would look directly into the President's front door. Then word came to Wardman 't tari that some of the Hay heirs had regretted their decision to let the old place go and wanted to keep It Intact. The decision meant a lot to Wardman. but without hesitation he offered the contract b*ek. The deal was ended. The 1 hotel, project was moved .two I Mocks up the street. Through all the years of hlr success In Washington Harr> Wardman has wanted to go back and do something on a big scale In England, right In the heart o' I^ondon. At last his opportunity hs? come. For years a Euro pean hotel company has been con structing and operating hotels In the United States. Now there Is to be an American hotel In Pic cadilly. with Wardman as Its sponsor The poor hoy who sailed mw*9 from his native shores all but penniless will on Chrlstmar Day. 19 26. open the Park Lane Hotel In I/ondon. and every room In the the structure will have ? bath attached. This Is a decided departure In European hotel con struction. And each room will be steam heated, although Mr. Ward man undoubtedly will have still to consider the traditions of his country and provide fire place for the burning of soft coal flrei i which seem to warm the cockle# of the British heart. Harry Wardman has two pas sldns ? one Is golf and the other Is building, and he Is admitted ex pert at both games. He also Is a speed king. He can reach a de cision and translate It Into actloi quicker than any other man In the country. A year or two ago some of the young spirlta of Washing toh got together and wanted to start a racquet club. Within sli months Wardman had financed aad erected the big club in Six teenth street- The artistic colony of Washington organised a few years ago a dramatic club known the Ramshed Players. They 0 attained artistic succeee almost at fllee, but their Improvised play ^hoqse was too ?mall. They toojc ' TURKISH PRESIDENT | DIVORCES HIS WIKi: Constantinople. Aug. 13. ?

Theae table grapes. however, represent only a part of the crop. According to the lateat estimates the entire crop may be divided roughly Into 26 I per c??nt of wine varieties, 26 per cent table grapea and BO per cent I which might become ralalns.
