Senatorial Action.

Washington yesterday resounded
with praise for the action of the SEN
ate in passing the Smoot amendment,
and in no quarter was the action SO
warmly commended as In the govern
ment departments. Although the
amendment does not provide for
clerks above the grade of ST, 900, the
higher salaried employees warmly
commended the action of the Upper
House.
There can be no doubt that Con-
gress, as a whole, realizes that the
employees of our government are TN
derpaid. Both Houses have gone on
record as favoring raise, the only
point in dispute being the extent OF
the increase.
That this feature will be settled
equitably during the conference is a
foregone conclusion, with the indica-
tions that the original increase of $
per cent and 10 per cent will be
adopted. The Senate has not been
brought face to face with the many
examples of poverty and want that
exist among the workers, whereas in
the House actual testimony from the
employees themselves has been pre-,
sented.
During the coming conferences il
is expected that those advocates oi
the original raise and of the Nolan
bill will bring to the attention of the
representatives of both Houses sta
tistics showing the conditions under
which some of the government work
ers live. If testimony is introduced
such as characterized the debate oi
the proposition while it was before
the House, it is generally conceded
that the Senate will concur with the
original bill, which provided raises ur
to and including the 1900 grade.
1t is reasonable to suppose that
those in the House who have beer
brought face to face with the testi,
mony presented by the Federal En-
ployes' Union and through the col.
umns of The Washington Herald will
exert a substantial influence ovei
those members of the Senate who
have agreed upon an increase, al.
though their knowledge of condition.
is rather of general nature.
By its action on the Smoot amend.
ment the Senate has recorded it:
opinion that it is false economy tc

country with poorly paid working
staff, This was the only dominant
point raised against the increase, and
now that it has been obliterated, .
basis for final consideration is estab-
lished which makes the adoption o.
the original measure not only posi-
bic but highly probable.

When you read that the naval losses

such nation has been engaged in war
But these were the losses of the United

the outbreak of the great war, and while
England was mastering its army, 1t was
noticed that there was a decided change
in medical opinion in that country on
the subject of the entrance of women into
their profession. Some of the medical
journals which had shown a mild hostility
to medical education for women were
found urging strongly that more women
sheuld take up this work, pointing out
that, with such a large percentage Of

The disintegration of this magnifi-

other was placed before Pearson and
he was asked if he recognized it as
any of the ballots described by him on
his direct examination as having been
changed to meet the views of ignorant
voters. These were the ballots where
erasures of the republican cross were
made, to turn them into straight dem
ocratic votes. Here Pearson became
evasive. He resorted to the stereotyped

SIXTH WAR LOAN
BRINGS QUERY
AS To SOURCE
[Peaublicar A. P, Leased Wirel

BERNE, March 1.-THE issue of
Germany's sixth war loan has again
raised the question os to the sources
of the empires sinews of war.
1t is a mystery which even expert
bankers are unable satisfactorily to ex-
plain. The financial experts point out
that the German people are living much
more economically than ever before
While their earnings have greatly in
creased and also that the capital for
merly used in carrying on the foreign
trade OF the country, sidetracked from
its original use by the British block
ade, has been invested in war bonds.
They add that much capital which was
locked up in raw materials in ware
houses and factories was released When
the stocks were turned into finished
goods after the outbreak of the war
and sold at unusually large profits.
After giving these explanations the
financiers freely admitted that they
are far from meeting the situation
/ While the factories mentioned figured
largely in the earlier war loans it is
contended that by now they must have
spent their force. The two facts which
cannot be lodged are that nearly the
entire able bodied male population has
been withdrawn from production and
[ has become huge burden on the
economic powers of the country and,
secondly, that the foreign trade, the
source of enormous profit before the
war, has practically ceased to exist.
In the face of these adverse facts,
GERMANY raised last year two war
loans which called for subscriptions of
fully $1,000, 100000 an amount far in
excess OF what the German people were
]. IL |,
best year before the war.
Germans are, however, more deeply
interested just now in financial prob
lens of the future than finding ex-
plantations for past successes. The
rapid growth of the national debt, with
the certain prospect of further big
expansion, undoubtedly is the source of
the gravest anxiety among thoughtful
finanCiers and economists. The war
expenditures up to the present time are
estimated at probably in excess of
$4,000, 000, 900, and are expected to
reach $4,000, 100000 by the end of the
year if the war continues that long.
The interest on this sum will amount
to 1000, 600, 600 a year. to say nothing
of sinking fund requirements for the
paying off of principal and of the year
ly payments in pensions to the great
host of cripples, widows and orphans.
Men are staggered at the huge proper
tons that the annual appropriation
bills are certain to assume.
Not a few of the rich men who have
created the wealth of the present gene
ration are saying that they will be
thankful if they get off with taxes
. equal to half of their incomes. 1t is
even said at Berlin that the financial
authorities of the empire are contem-
plating certain measures of confisca
