Britain and Germany Fix Plans
to Exchange Civilians.

London, Dec. 9.--After pro-
tracted negotiations through the
medium of the United States ar :
engagements have been made for
the exchange of German and Brit
ish civilian prisoners who are
more than As years old.
About 1000 Germans are in
termed in the United Kingdom
and 700 British civilians are in
termed in Germany. Whether the
prisoners will reach their respcc-
tive homes depends upon the sue
cess of the Admiralty in finding
a neutral steamer OH which to
ankle the exchange.
Preparations are being made
to break up the camps for Ger
mans on the lie of Man and those
established for British civilian
prisontrs in Germany. Only
1900 of the Germans informed
in the United Kingdom expressed
n desire to return to Germany
If the opportunity offered many
would prefer to go to America, it
is said.

Secretaries of the members of
the House of Congress want their
pay raised from 81 500 to $4,000
a year. They held a meeting Fri
day to devise means to pry the
increase out of Congress. High
cost of living and the fact that
secretaries to senators get 1000
and have somebody else to do IA
good share of the work are their
arguments. Heretofore it has not
been unusual for members of Con-
grcss to take the 81 500 allowed
for ii secretary and then hire one
for 81 900 or SO, or even to get
along without any.

BY "a rather heavy spring to arms, !"

impression that it required an unusually

the necessity for preparedness and ind

OF mobilization in a serious emergency
General Wood announced that troop
movements from now on will be slow.
