COL. Young Hears Of Steps Taken
BY Military Services legion

SAN ANTONIO. Tex, Jan. 30.-Col.
Glendie B. Young has received let
ter from Col. r. d. Sims. president
of the Military Service Legion of the
District of Columbia, saying that the
legion has undertaken the task of find
ing employment for all members OF
the Third Infantry who have no posi-
lions awaiting them when the regi-
ment is ordered home.
As a means of securing the neces-
sary data regarding conditions in the
regiment the legion forwarded cards
that are 20 be filled in by guards
men who desire to have jobs located
for them against the day of their re-
turn. These cards have been dis
tributed among the various compan-
les and a number of men are taking
advantage OF the legion's offer.
In a letter OF acknowledgement to
Colonel Sims, Colonel Young thanked
the legion on behalf of men of the
regiment. Although the time of the
Thirds homegoing is not known, he
said II was comforting to the men to
know that the legion had taken steps
in their interest.

Believed President. VIII Back
Proposed Increase If Bud
get Permits.

II the budget of the Government
will stand the strain made upon It
by a general increase in tn ewages
Of the thousands of Government EN-
ployes in Washington and elsewhere,
then President Wilson and members
Of his Cabinet will back such a pro-
position, it is believed.
II, on the other hand, the finances
of the Government are not sufficient
to cover such demands, nothing to-
ward helping the condition of the en-
ployes in question may be expected
at this session OF Congress.
More Than "FriendIy AppreciatIon.-
Following the conference at the
Capitol yesterday of H. NJ. McI,arkin,
president of the Federal Employees
Union. and the legislative committee
of that organization, when the whole
question of increased wages was dis
cussed with the President, 1t became
known today that the President ex-
ercises more than a Friendly appre-
citation" of the men and women who
keep the wheels Of the Government
moving.
Mr.. McLarin and his committee asked
the President to urged upon Congress

VIII Study Government Budget.

study the Governments budget before
taking any decided step. II the Treas
ury Departments balance will permit Il.
It is said. Mr.. Wilson viii step In as the
champion OF the clerks.
On the other hand. II he feels that
there are not sufficient funds on hand
at this time to cover the immense addi-
tisnal expenditures which would follow
an increase, he will make no such rec
ommmendation.

Monroe doctrine. He described the
Presidents expression peace without
victory" as meaningless.
Bone of Contention.
The Senate today resounded with
echoes OF the recent address Of Pres
ident Wilson.
It became more and more apparent
that the league to enforce peace Is
to become the great bone of conten-
ton in connection with the Presidents
utterances, and that there Is deep
seated opposition to use OF the Amer
lean army and navy as an instrument
to enforce the decress of the league.
Lewis Presents Revolution.
Senator Lewis of Illinois, Democrat,
presented a resolution declaring the
address of the President did not pro-
pose adjustment of the Monroe doc
trine, and did not propose use OF the
American army and navy as a general
proposition, but only when necessary
to preserve the peace of the United
States or promote just rights OF
America where the same are assailed.
Senator Lewis resolution, II was
pointed out, conflicts squarely with
the Presidents own version OF the
proposed league.
The resolution was allowed to lie on
the table to be called up later.
Takes Issue with Idea.
Senator McCumber of North Dako-
ia, Republican. presented a resolu-
ton, taking issue with the idea of
peace without victory" and some
other phases of the Presidents ut
terances, but holding that the United
States should unite with other nations
at the end OF this war in compact
or league to prevent future wars.
This resolution went over until Wed
nesdRy.
Senator Cummins has given notice
that he will call up today his resolu-
ton for discussion of the Presidents
recent address on peace terms, and
for the league to enforce peace.

suit Of the trial of Gen. Soukhomlfnoff
proved to be a. surprise to the general
public, who foresaw the acquittal of
Nine. Soukhomlinoff and expected that
tho former war minister would be found
not guilty. There are indications, how
ever, that his own champions feared
acquittal. owing to the detestation of
the soldiery, which might lead to ex-
cesses.
The procuror general declared that
the verdict cannot be quashed on a
techn1cality, as no higher court exists.
Soukhomlinofrs sentence, life imprfs-
onment, carries with it the severest
