Senator Fall, republican, of New Mex

clared that the government of the
United States was on trial for efficiency
to perpetuate itself.
THE great crisis now confronting our
people, he said, lis more serious as 1t
affects our nationality and form of
government and the perpetuation of
our institutions than it is with rela-
tion to negotiations with certain Euro
peau governments.
The government of the United States
is. now on trial and the question is
whether this democracy is capable of.

question is whether we can preserve
our government and protect ourselves.

Ten deaths from starvation have

mania, two in the province of Preveza,
one in Eubia and one in Messinia The
poor classes have begun to live on
herbs and grass. The epidemics of en-
terits and dysenteria are rapidly
spreading in the country.
Notwithstanding the complete eXecu-
tion of the allies ultimatum no relaXa-
tion of the blockade has been brought
about. Numbers of fishing boats con-
stantly are sunk or sequestered by the

.CONFEREES FAVORABLE
TO BATHING BEACH
Sundry Civil Bill to Garry .$35, 900
for Bath Houses at
Tidal Basin.

Provision will be made in sundry civil
appropriation bill for a public bathing
beach, with lighthouses, at the Tidal basin
in Potomac Park, it was learned today
The Senate inserted an amendment. Of
fered by Senator Norris. in the District
appropriation bill, providing $4,000 for
this purpose. The plan has received
hearty approval, but it has been decided
that the item should go in the sundry
civil instead of in the District bill, as
the Tidal basin is under the jurisdiction
of the War Department.
The conferees on the District bill
were scheduled to meet today. but the
House members were unable to attend
and the meeting was postponed. The
expectation is that a conference report
will be made following the next meet
ing. 1t is likely that disagreement
will be reported on a few of the amend
ments, it was said, though the House
conferees have been generous in agree
ing to Senate amendments making in
creases for the schools, for street and
road improvements and other improve
ments.
Among the items still in disagree
ment today We're the Senate amend
ments providing for increases in wages
for employees of the District for a re-
duction in the tax rate on intangible
personal property and for the proposed
new Gallinger Municipal Hospital.

U-BOAT SUNK IN FIGHT
WITH FRENCH FREIGHTER
Steamer Guyane in Forty-Minute
Battle Off Bordeaux Settles Sub
marine on Second Shot.

NEW YORK, February 19.-In n
forty minute battle between German
U-boat and the French line steamship
Guyane, off the coast of France on
January %, the submarine was SINK
according to officers of the freighter,
which arrived here today from Bor-
deauX.
The Guyane was one day out from
port. AT $50 pm. Capt. Rousselot said,
the U-boat was sighted some distance
to pat1. ond apparently endeavoring
10 1r.... the Fighters bow in order to
stop her. The submarine fired a shot
which fell short, aud the Guyane then
turned sharply to starboard so that her
big G5-lnilimeter gun, mounted at the
stern, could be trained on the approach
ing vessel.
The submarine fired Il second shot
which fell considerably short, and a
third which struck the water close by
the freighter.
Meanwhile the Guyane's gunner had
sent one shell. which failed to hit, but
struck very near its mark. A second
shot from the Guyane, Capt. Rousselot
said, hit the U-boat SQuarely, and the
underwater boat was seen to collapse
During the next thirty minutes the
German craft appeared to be struggling
for existence. No one appeared on the
deck and no further attempt to shell
the freiehter was made. and the Guy
ane refrained from firing any more
shots At the end of the half hour the
submarine disappeared. The freight
er'S officers said they had no doubt but
that the IT-boat was lost.
The Guyane. q steel vessel of 2,O6S
tons net, carried thirty-seven men.
There were no Americans aboard She
brought Il general cargo of about 1000
tons.

UNDECIDED ABOUT REPORT
AFFECTING CLERKS PAY
Conferees on Legislative Bill May
Ro.d Meeting Today-Chamber-
lain Amendment in Dispute.

Notwithstanding the fact that the con-
ferees on the agricultural appropriation
bill made a report Saturday fixing in
creases in wages for government en-
ployes covered in that bill at 10 per cent
for all those receiving $1,000 and less. and
5 per cent for those receiving from $1,000
to 81 500, the conferees on the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation bill
today were, still undecided as to their
final report on this matter.
An effort is being made TO have the
increases for those employees receiving
$3.50 and less made IL per cent instead of
10 per cent. and that those employees
receiving frcm $3.50 to 1920 be granted
an increase of 10 per cent. while those re
ceiying from $1,000 to Sl,5e0 be allowed
am increase of per cent.
The confereeS met yesterday and made
good progress with the bill Ii possible
another meeting will be held late today

any congressman, judge or government
official paid under this bill from doing

Congressman Interested
in Possible Appearance
of President at Capitol

Speoulation was rife among senators
and representatives today over the pos
sible appearance before Congress this
week of the President to address that
body upon the question of neutral
rights on the sea and the protection
of American shipping on the ocean
highways. Insistent reports, apparent
" from well Informed sources. have
forecasted the possible appearance OF
the executive at the Capitol shortly.
The statesmen on the hill can thus
far only conjecture the phase of the
situation he would discuss, and are
deeply interested in the nature of the
he might make. Ii ~
suggested that he may propose 10 arm
American merchantmen against attack
by submarines. and again il is rumored
that he may ask Congress to clothe him
with wide power and latitude of ac-
tion to be used in emergencies after
this session of Congress is ended and
before the next session assemblies or is
called
If either or both these propositions
should be presented it is said that pro-
longed debate would follow. 1t is de-
clared to be question how far Con-
