will become law at the present session

will start within few weeks.
Campaign literature is being prepared,
and this will be spread broadcast over
the country. and will urge the civil serv-
ice employees and others to get behind
their members of Congress and urge
them to support the measure.

a short time to make a trip across the
continent to deliver speeches in the in
terest of the measure.
Under the bill as prepared by the COM
mittee, all civil service employees would
become eligible for retirement after the
1st of July next following the passage
of the law. Then graduated scale of
retirement pay is provided, including also
paragraph for retirement on account

The Austrian government has taken
steps to prevent as far as possible, the
recurrence Of incidents in which Aus
TRANS entitled to a share in estates in
America have been victimized by
agents who fraudulently secured their
power of attorney. and then appropri-
atcd the whole or part of the inheri-

A circular, addressed to the provin.

subjects dying in America against
sending powers of attorney to UNI

that such authorization should be CIV
