ASSERTS U. 5. IS
liable FOR MILLIONS
Mondell Says Europe Will Demand
Payment for Lives and Property
Lost. in Mexico.

That the United States is obligated. in
law as well as in morals. to pay the
claims against Mexico that will be pre-
scented by the powers OF Europe upon the
establishment Of a constitutional govern
ment south of the Rio Grande il the
substance of a statement made yester-
day by Representative Frank Mondell. Of
Wyoming. one OF the Republican leaders
OF the House.
Mr. Mondell Is of the opinion that these
claims. which he believes TO aggregate
somewhere In the neighborhood of half
q billion dollars. will be presented to the
United States Just about the close Of the
war. at q time when all OF Europe will
be pinched for money. Mr.. Mondell made
the declaration that the negotiations in
cident to the adjustment of-these claims
might bring about very delicate relations
between the United States and some Of
the powers OF Europe. Germany, Spain.
Great Britain, and France are all in
volyed. subjects OF at least two Of the
countries named having lost their lives
In Mexico. and millions OF dollars in
property Of subjects of all having been
confscated or destroyed.
The Republican leader made the charge
that II the United States had recognized
Victoriano Huerta. when such action had
been taken by other powers, or thrown
its support to Victoriano CarranLa when
Huerta was driven from Mexico. the
amount OF the claims the United States
may be called upon to settle would have
been materially diminished.

.HALF.HOLIDAY RULING
KILLS CLAIM FOR PAY
Comptroller Decides Against Employe
Absent on Saturday on Which De-
partment Worked.

If a government cmploye is absent from
work on a Saturday half-holiday on
which his department has been ordered
to work. he has no right to claim pay for
that half-holiday. This ruling was hand
ed down yesterday by the Auditor of the
Treasury Department in answer 10 a
claim made by a female government en-
ploye. who was absent from work on a
Saturday half-holiday on which her de-
partment had been ordered to work
extra.
The ruling. which is Endorsed by W. w.
Warwick. Comptroller OF the Treasury.
holds that unauthorized absence from
work. even on half-holidays, is loss of
time and that pay may be deducted for
such absence The Auditor admits in the
ruling that Saturday after L o'clock Is a
holiday for all purposes in the District.
but adds that the head of an executive
department may extend the hour OF labor
in his department over such holidays II.
in his judgment. the interests OF the serv-
ice require such eXtention.
The ruling practically places the Satur-
day half-holiday in the category with the
thirty days annual leave. which has al
ways been regarded as a matter of dis
erection on the part OF the heads OF the
departments,

BURKITT'S Case
NOW IN IANGLE
Status of Postmaster Who
Criticised President Seems
Uncertain.
SUSPENDED SAYS ROPER
But Dismissed" Employe Has Been
Ordered "Reinstated" by Wilson.
Facts" Seem to Conflict.

President Wilson yesterday took en-
phatic action in the case OF George
Burkitt. assistant postmaster at WIN
netlxa. Ill. who was dismissed because
of remarks made by him criticising
the Presidents engagement to marry
Mrs. Norman Gait The President at
frst ordered that Burkitt should be re-
instated II the technical charge of
"disloyalty to the President" was the
only reason for his dismissal This was
followed Ifter in the afternoon by the
announcement that the President had
ordered Burkitt restored to the assist
ant postmsstership unconditional.
In the meantime. however, the Post
office Department had issued a state
ment in which Assistant Postmaster
General Roper declared that the de-
partment's action against Burkitt was
not based upon the remarks made by
the assistant postmaster in critcising
the Presidents intention to remarry.
Mr.. Roper contended that other
charges had received primary consid-
Grafton and that Burkitt's remarks in
reference to the Presidents engage
ment were simply an incident which
alone would not have been sufficient
ground for his removal"
Under investigation.
Mr. Roper made the surprising state
ment that final action had not been taken
In the case; that the matter was under
investigation and that in the meantime
Mr.. Burkitt stands suspended"
Up to a late hour last night no formal
statement had been issued by the Post
ONCE Department conforming to the
Presidents second order for an uncondi-
tional reinstatement, but It was said that
the Presidents instructions would, OF
course. be followed In the case.
Administration officials were aroused
early yesterday TO the ACCESSIBILITY OF
taking immediate action in regard to the
case and a conference between President
Wilson and Secretary Tumulty was fol-

MTCHIN DEPRECATES
PREPAREDNESS PLANS
House Leader Argues 1t Will Alarm
World Into Armed Camp and
Shock Civilization.

How emphatic is the opposition OF
House Leader Claude Kitchin to the pre-
paredness program, which, in his Ian
guage, the administration Is going to

His letter says:

and power I possess. However. my fear
is that the President will push 1t through

lions of four-fifths of the Democrats are

victions on this question to please the

them do on occasions before.
You will catch the enormity OF the
step which the President will insist that

than the total increase for the last four
teen years: more than the increase by
Germany in the five years preceding the
European war. and the combined in
creases of all the nations Of the world

Increase of all nations in the world for
the whole period of ten years immedi-
