JANITORS' RAKE.OFF
BOOSTS Living COST
Investigator Says Apartment Employe
Levies Tribute on Vendors.

The humble janitor. long regarded as
living an, uneventful existence, comes TO
the front as the missing link in the rea-
sons for the high cost Of living. Probers
into high prices yesterday asserted that
the janitor lives a life far buster and
far more exciting than that of COM
mander of European armies.
An investigator in Washington explain
ed that janitors of apartments here have
''bonus-filled life" He described the
janitor as "a man who receives his rent.
ice, milk, bread and other necessities
free, and obtains a cash bonus from
nilkmen, icemen, bakers and other deal
ers in addition to his salary"
Every bonus paid by the dealer Is
at the expense of the consumer, 1t was
said. While the condition may not be
general in Washington, It is asserted that
in many apartments janitors receive 81
a year from milk dealers for each quart
in the average daily delivery to con-
sumers in his apartment. Thus, II 1Ot
quarts Of milk are delivered In a day his
yearly bonus is 500. 1t Is said that
grocers. butchers and other dealers "tir
or bribe" the janitor.
II one milk dealer has twenty or more
customers in one apartment his delivery
man saves considerable time by daily
placing the bottles in the janitor's room
for distribution.

CONGRESS EVOLVING
SUPER.LD FOR D. c.
Hope Of Vets Veers to White House
as Measure Marks Time.

An ultra radical prohibition bill for
the District may develop from the effort
Of Senator Sheppard. Of Texas, to abolish
licensed traf1c in alcoholic liquors in
Washington. Yesterday. when It was
presumed that Mr.. Sheppard would force
his bill before the consideration of the
Senate, tthe measure gave way to the i'm
gave no cheer to opponents Of the prohi-
bition measure
Senator Sheppard said he did not call up
his bill because Senator Smith, in charge
of the immigration bill, and q friend of
the prohibition bill, desired to get his
measure out of the way. Senator Shep-
pard said this would be accomplished
within two days.
Senator Sheppard will then call up his
measure. which. IL the amendments sug-
sented an amendment forbidding the use
The Texan will seek to penalizs manu-
seizure Of liquors in the District for ship
Nent elsewhere.
Senator Gronna, Of North Dakota, pre-
scented an amendment forbiding the use
Of liquor in the District by denying to
individuals the right Of possession, ship
ment or gift Of alcoholic beverages.
This amendment, II adopted. would
make the District drier than Virginia.
Senator Gallinger, of New Hampshire,
offered several memorials and petitions
asking Congress to enact the sumptuary
. legislation.
The hope of the vets is in the Under
wood proposal for a referendum vote.
Rumors were abroad during the day
that the anti-prohibition element might
get consolation at the White House, as 1t
Is assumed as highly probable that the
House will pass the Sheppard bill II 1t
reaches II.
The vets say that II the President ap-
plies the same logic to the prohibition
question as he did to the suffrage meas
ure, he will concede to the citizens Of
Washington the right to vote on the ques-
ton.

garded the treaty of Berlin as the cap
stone of his career.
The world will watch with keen in
terest the preparations making by
Capt. Roald Amundsen for an airplane
voyage across the North Pole. He is
one of the greatest explorers and dis
covers the world has ever known. He
has habit of doing what he under
takes to do. He discovered and sailed
through the Northwest Passage, which
had baffled explorers for four hun
bred years. He located the north
magnetic pole. In 1910 he sailed to
the Antarctic and raced with Capt
Robert F. Scott across that frozen
continent for the South Pole, and got
there first. So now, when Amundsen
tells us that in the spring of 1918 he
is going to go up in an airplane as
close to the North Pole as he can get,
and sail across it, and land somewhere
on the North American Continent, we
know that if he lives he will probably
it, anyway. And it is pos
sible that he will succeed, for the air.
plane has been so perfected in this
war that with supplies of gasoline in
reserve tanks, flier might make the
trip across.

Thirty-eight years ago the British
Mediterranean fleet sailed through
the Dardanelles and anchored few
miles below Contsantinople. A Rus
sian army under General Todleben,
victorious at Plevna, had pushed south
and was almost within sight of the
Turkish capital. Another victorious
Russian army was coming up through
Asia Minor. Turkey was PROSTATE
and the British lion and the Russian
bear faced each other at the straits.
In London cheering crowds were par
aiding the streets singing:
We don't want to fight, but, by jingo,
if we do,
We've got the ships, we've got the
men, we've got the money, too.
Russia yielded, gave up the treaty
Of San Stefano extorted from Turkey,
entered the Congress of Berlin and
got we'll trimmed by Lord Beacons-
field, who came back to London like
a conquering hero and made speech
to wildly cheering crowd, in which
he said he had brought back England
peace with honor" So in 1878 Eng
land picked up the pieces of the knock
ed down Turkish throne, put it to-
gether again and sat the Turk down
on it. General Trepof, Russia's new
premier, speaking to Duma that had
demanded to know something more Of
the governments objects in the pres

That the rejection of the German
peace proposals by the Allies will be
followed by another note from the
Central Powers offering to placate
Russia by handing her Constantinople
and multiplying her decision to with
draw from Belgium and France was
one of the striking statements made
by w. c. Bullitt, Of the Philadelphia
Public Ledger in an address. Should
the second proffer be rejected, Mr..
Bulitt said, the Germans will return
10 a ruthless submarine war; thus
forcing the United States TO join the
conflict againt them. The speaker
said that, for once, the Kaiser and the
Socialist stand together. On this
question he continued: The Conserva-
tives are solidly arrayed against the
alliance Of the Kaiser with the Social
list "reds." This recent peace note
was an expression Of socialist opin-
ion, for that party believes that if
Germany is to gain anything at all by
the war she should do so at the ex-
pense Of Russia. The willingness to
waive right to northern France and
Belgium and erect independent king
doms on the Russion border is the
product of Socialist leaders, the Kai-
ser, the German Foreign office and
Marshall Won Hinderburg. But the
rejection Of the overtures of the Cen
trial Powers will mean another at
tempt soon on the part of the German
ic Allies The Conservatives will have
the upper hand They will offer Rus
STA everything in an effort TO ALLEVIATE
her from her allies. They will even
prefer Russia's dream Constanti- |
nople. But, unwilling TO lose any
thing in the settlement, Germany will |
demand right TO annex that portion of
France and Belgium which she oc-
cupies. Should Russia spurn this Of
fer, the only alternative of Germany
viii be that Of continuing the war in
the most ruthless manner That will |
mean war for America" Questioned |
as TO the origin Of the war, Mr.. Bull
lit said there was no doubt that the
war was made in Budapest. 1t was
the result Of Hungarian aristocratic
impatience," he said. While Austria
he declared, has exhausted her mobile
reserves. Germany can continue the
war for two more years before she
reaches her linit.
