INQUIRY INTO SAFETY
Of AMERICANS FAVORED
Senate Committee Recommends Sec
retary of State Investigate Condi-
ton of U. S. Citizens in Ireland,

The Senate committee on foreign re-
lations recommended today a favorable
report on Senator Kern's resolution
directing the Secretary of State to in
quire regarding the safety of American
citizens in Ireland in districts where
martial law has been proclaimed
AS agreed to by the committee the
resolution sets forth:
TT is represented that at the time
of the recent revolt in Ireland there
were. and are yet, many American
citizens in districts in which martial
law was proclaimed and in which arm
ed conflicts occurred. and whereas the
relatives and friends in this country
of such American citizens whose safe
W has been thus endangered are ap-
prehensive lest their lives and property
have been imperiled.
..Therefore, the Secretary of State is
hereby requested to cause inquiry to be
made through our consular representa-
tives as to the safety and we'll being
of American citizens in Ireland, and
to take what steps. If any, may be
necessary and proper for the safe
guarding and protection of their lives
and property.

itals. In addition to. obtaining first
hand Information as to the American
viewpoint on many matters involved in
the war. the emperor might desire, 1t
was said, to adjust through a personal
representative relations with the
strained by the submarine controversy
Other Possible Purposes.
1t was suggested that Prince Won
Buelow might also seek direct infor-
nation as to the administrations VIEWS
upon American neutrality, activity of
Germans in conspiracies in this coun-
try and the sale of war munitions to
the allies.
In the absence of President Wilson
and with Secretary Lansing still con-
fined to his home by illness, no official
would hazard speculation regarding the
probable attitude of the President II
Prince Won Buelow should arrive. with or
without official credentials. upon a peace
mission.
The President has declined to inter-
vene in behalf Of peace. at least until both
sides show desire to talk matters over
Whether his position would be altered
if one of the warning powers took the
initiative is In doubt.
Mr.. Wilson is expected to touch on the
general SUBJECT OF peace here next Satur-
day, speaking before the League to En-.
force Peace
Officials recalled that Prince Won Rue-
low has recently been reported unon a
confidential mission in southern Eurone

ATTEND AT OWN EXPENSE
Government Clerks Not Entitled to
Pay While at Military Train
ing Camps.

Government clerks. the controller of
the Treasury ruled today, may not at
tend military training camps such as
those at Plattsburg. N. Y, and Fort
Ogletaorpe. Ga, except at their own
expense and without pay, unless they
attend during their regular vacation
period. Under the law. the controller
ruled, the government has not the
power to give employees time off with
pay to attend such camps.
The controllers ruling was made
upon the request of Secretary McAdoo
10 wrote that several employees OF
the supervising architects Office
wanted to so to Plattsburg, but did
not feel that they could lose their
nav during the month of training.
Mr.. McAdoo asked If the government
could give them time off with pay
.In SO far as l am advised" the con-
troller replied. there is no law au-
thorizing the granting Of military leave
to government employees while attend
ing such military training camps"

SENATOR Weeks
NOT TO WITHDRAW
Announces EmphaticalIy He
Will Stay in Fight for G. O. P.
Nomination.

Senator John ". Weeks of MasSa-
chusetts today authorized The Star to
say for him emphatically that he has
no intention of withdrawing from the
contest for the republican presidential
nomination He is in the fight to stay.
and said. moreover. that he expects to
go into the convention with more votes
at the outset than any other candidate.
This announcement was drawn forth
by a demand by the Boston Transcript
that the senator should withdraw in
favor of Justice Hughes. Senator
Weeks is in New York today. but was
reached on the telephone and had this
to say:
Not to Withdraw, He Says.
.I shall not Withdraw my candidacy
for the nomination for the presidency.
The suggestion that ] should do so Is
in line with reports that have. been cir
culated upon four or Ave occasions that
/ intended to step aside.
There was no truth in those reports
and no foundation for the suggestion
made by the newspaper which is quoted
as demanding my withdrawal. I will
have more delegates when the voting
begins than any other candidate. and
/ expect them to stay with me-
The Weeks withdrawal has been
a political ghost which has stalked
across the stage from time to time
during the past two months. and each
time 1t was laid" by the senator re-
fusins to stay under.
May Be Due to Crane.
1t is thought by Massachusetts, men
at tho Capitol that. this latest recur-
renoe may have followed the publica-
ton of a report that former Senator
w. Murray Crane was getting weak
kneed on the Weeks candidacy and
turning to Hughes. No confirmation of
that report, however. has been OBJ
tanned.
The latest reports from Massachu-
aetts were that Gov. Mccall will be pre-
sented by his friends as a candidate
for the nomination. and 1t is assumed
here that the Mccall and Weeks in
+erests are clashing at this time.

A unique incident occurred today
when for the first time during the war,

took a hostile aerodrome for its own.
tors at one of the British aerodromes
saw q German machine circling as If
it were about to descend. Without in
terfering with Its movements. thinking
that ii had lost its bearings, they
watched 1t come lower until It finally
swept past and came to a rest.
The German aviator and his pilot saw
their mistake too late when figures in
khaki came running up. and they
realized that they were prisoners The
captured machine was a new one Of the
latest type.

Need of a Pension Plan
for U. S. Employees Cited
at Senate Hearing

The need of the establishment by
Congress of some system of retirement
and pensions for superannuated civil
service employees of the government
was emphasized at the hearing yester-
day afternoon before the Senate COM
mittee on civil service and retrench-
ment. which Is considering the report
of such a measure to the Senate. The
speakers impressed upon the members
Of the committee that the government
employees would be willing to accept
almost any sort of a retirement plan
as an opening wedge, with the hope
that 1t would be improved by later
legislation.
DR.. Llewelyn Jordan of the United
States Civil Service Retirement As
sociation. chief of the bonding division
of the Treasury Department. told the
committee that in his opinion the best
plan to adopt would be contributory
plan, but that the contribution should
be divided between the government and
the employe on an equitable basis. He
said that some nine different pension
plans had been tried In New York
state, and that such a system as he
proved satisfactory to employer and
employe.
Ready to Accept Plan.
F. H. Flaherty of this city, repre-
senting a branch of the railway mail
employees, said that while he was in
favor of a straight pension plan. the
government paying all, he and others
who felt as he did would be glad to
accept the contributory plan rather
than to remain without any retirement
system. He said:
II am not SO much concerned with
the details of any proposed retire
ment system as l am with the prin-
ciple involved. The need of the
adoption of some such system is very
great and must be apparent to the
officers of the government as we'll as
to the employees"
DR.. Jordan told the committee he in
tended to appear before the resolu-
tions committees of both the demo-
cratic and republican national conven-
tions to urge that civil service re-
tirement planks be inserted in the
platforms of the two dominant politi-
cal parties.
