ANCE OF PARLIAMENT TO BE
SECURED BY BETTER PAY
(By Associated Press }

The Hague, Netherlands, Nov. II.
TO prevent irregular attendance in
the Second Chamber of the Dutch
Parliament the Prime Minister, Mr..
Cort van der Linden, has brought
forward the proposal that members
shall be paid an extra fee of So for
every sitting they attend. He pro
poses also that the yearly salary of
members shall be raised from $500
to $1,000, with right to pension.
According to- the Dutch Constitu-
tion, not only is the Chamber de-
barred from taking any decision un-
less more than half of it's members
are present, but it may not even de-
liberate. The "absenteeism" has not
only sometimes prevented parliament
tary sittings opening at the appoint
ed hour, but has even occasionally
entirely stopped the Chamber from
proceeding with it's business

Near East, according to Charles F
Hauss, president of the American
Chamber of Commerce for Italy
Because of her geographical ro-
sition, joining the north of Europe
to the Orient" said Mr. Hauss to n
correspondent of the Associated
Press. Italy today offers better bust
ness opportunities for Americans in
my estimation than South America or
the Far East. She has fine com
mercial strategic position and her
government and people are actively
aware of the fact, and intend to push
this advantage of location
Wartime Italy is far more pros
porous than is generally known. The

showed earnings higher even than in
peace times. 1t is also not generally
known that Italy bought more pro-
ducts in the United States during the

two hundred millions from us, as
compared to eighty millions in Eng
land, fifty in the Argentine, fifty in
France, and fifteen in Switzerland
She is selling to us something ever
fifty millions a year, which is about
her normal yearly sales of before the

tary of War Baker to Southern De

The information was also given
out that it was impossible for the
war department to say definitely
when the various organizations, or
any particular organization of the
National Guard, would be returned
to their home stations
Included in the order was the ex-
planation that the granting of all
the numerous applications of bust
mess and professional men for dis
charge from the, National Guard
would disorganize many militia units
and seriously impair the efficiency OF
the service. and favorable action on

COCKTAILS REPLIES
'''' = 10 TO CRITICISMS
(By Associated Press. J

Washington, Nov 20. .-Sharp
language is employed by Major Gen
eral George w. Goethals. governor of
the Panama Canal Zone. in replying
to published criticisms of the bic
waterway which he charges have Sc
riously affected its commercial rat
ing. In his annual report, made
public by the war department, the
governor declares that the earth
movements which have frequently
interrupted traffic through the canal
finally will be overcome for all time
General Goethals goes into a
lengthy review of the geological
problems which have been encoun-
tered, of the steps taken to over
come such obstacles and the meas
ure of success attained So far as the
Culebra cut is concerned, he said.
the worst is over, the intervals be-
tween movements are becoming
greater and the quantities II mater
ial less.
The report replies to the published
statements of Professor BENJAMIN Le-
Roy Miller, of Lehigh University, and
former Senator Thomas Kearns, of
Utah. The charges made in each
case, General Goethals brands as "er-
roneous, unwarranted and unfair" It
is shown in the report that during q
part of the fiscal year 1916 during
which the canal was opened, Al ves-
sells passed from the Atlantic to the
Pacific and 376 in the other direc-
ton. OF all these, only 81 were en-
gaged in the American coast-wise
trade.
The total cargo tonnage handled
was 3,14O,046 as against 4,969,792
the preceding year, although the wa
terway was in operation for only
five months last year Commenting
upon the reduction in coastwise traf-
fic shown, however. the report says it
was due principally to the scarcity of
ships for foreign trade which drew
American coasting vessels into that
service.
Difficulties of the present system
of levying tolls are recited and Cen
eral Goethals again recommends that
legislation be sought making the
earning capacity of a ship the basis
upon which charges should be COM
puted. He points out that s2,399,-
$50 were collected in tolls during
1916 Had the so-called Panama
Canal rules applied in measuring the
ships, he adds, this sum would have
been increased by approximately
100000.
