CENSUS OFFICE CLERKS
DROPPED FROM ROLLS
TabuIators, Whose Services
Are No Longer Required,
Dismissed Today.

The force Of the census bureau I'm this
city was today reduced by 10. These
employees had been working the punching
machines. tabulating the population. With
the completion of the enumeration for
the entire country today it was said At
the census Office the services OF these
employees became no longer necessary.
Still further reductions will be made in
February.
OF the employees who were dropped to-
day ninety were residents Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia. ten residents of Viz
ginia and five are residents OF Mary
| land.
Under the Apportionment Law.
| 1t was explained that the employees
from the District and the states which
, nave moro employees i'm the census
bureau that they are really entitled to
are being let out first. 1t was assert
ed that political pull had nothing To
do with the retirement or the retention
Of the clerks.
BY the law of apportionment. the
District of Columbia was entitled TO
only eleven appointments in the census
bureau" said Chief Clerk Viles today
But the District has had 443 regular
appointments for the thirteenth census
Virginia was entitled to ~. and has
had 81: Maryland was entitled to ~,
and has had 1870.
1T became necessary to fill up the places
in the census office to carry on the work.
After the eligible lists in the various
states had been exhausted and we could
find no others who had passed success
full examinations who were willing IL
come when we desired them. We tur net
to the nearby states and to the District
to fill up the quota.
Reason for the Excess.
That is the reason we had so many
employees from these states and the Dis
trict of Columbia. Necessarily we are
letting the employees go first from the
states which have more than their share
Of employees
1t was admitted at the census Office
that it would work hardship TO a num-
Der of the employees who were going out
just before the Christmas holidays. buj
the work has been completed and there
is. therefore. no reason for retaining
the clerks mentioned.

DECREE Is GENERAL.
All Political Offenders Invited to Re.
turn to Nicaragua.

The decree Of Gen. Estrada of Mica
raugua inviting eXiles to return to their
country, so far as the State Department
is advised, makes no exception among the
political offenders. 1t Is believed here ia
be general and sweeping in it's provisions
and might even permit the return to
Nicaragua Of former Presidents Zelaya
and, Madriz. 1t is not thought, however,
that either of these exiles will accept an
invitation to return to their country for
they would lay themselves open to prose-
cution in the courts under the new
regime.
Zelaya is now in Brussels. while Madriz
is believed to be in Mexico City.

I'm my opinion, says Secretary Dick

nual report made public today, 1.-The time

lsh a commission to determine as early
as practicable comprehensive policy for
the organization. mobilization and adj

Field Artillery Needed.

The most serious feature of the present
military situation and one that should be
Immediately corrected, in the opinion of
Secretary Dickinson, is the shortage of
field artillery material. There is very
inadequate supply Of guns, carriages and
ammunition. due largely to lack Of ap-
preparations The types needed have been
developed and some of each are under
manufacture. but the appropriations do
not permit of the production of any con-
siderable quantity. The chief Of ordnance
has already called attention to the fact
that much time is required to manufac-
ture this material and it would be- i'm
possible to secure enough to supply the
army in time of war unless provision
advance.
Little more can be done than already
has been done in the important work Of
instruction of the organized militia until
some provision is made by Congress
which will allow the department to as
sign officers on the active list Of the army
to duty with the militia, which is now
impossible, owing to the pressing need of
officers for regimental service.
Success has attended the efforts of the
department to secure one-half of the per-
| fertilization from the militia of the sea-
| board states. Unfortunately the existing
law does not declare distinctly the exact
extent to which the militia may be en-
| ploye in the service of the United States
| and legislation should be had that would
| enable the War Department to determine
| in advance of war just what officers and
troops OF the militia can be depended
upon for service and their suitability.

the land now known as Potomac Park
