GREATEST NEED
Of ITALIANS NOW
EWHEAT BREAD

ROME, Dec. 21.-wheat bread II
the most important need Of ItAly's
civilian population, according to the
report Of the committee on refugees
of the American Red Cross, made by
Ernest P. BickneIl. director general Of
civilian relief; Prof. Edward 7. De-
vine and Capt. Paul q. Kellogg, who
have just completed q three weeks
tour OF towns and cities throughout
Italy.
1t was found that the half million
persons. mostly women and children,
refugees from the invaded districts.
now scattered through every section
of Italy, had diminished the already
meager bread allowance OF one pound
for each person daily, which consti-
tutes the normal ration of the ordi!
nary population.
The committee has obtained a con
tribution OF 100000 lire for the aid
Of the population OF Venice, 10000 OF
whom are being removed to Rimini
and other points. 1t is probable the
entire population will be removed,
owing to the difficulty OF bringing in
supplies and because there Is no long
er employment for workmen- Venice
is already greatly depopulated.

informer for the Government on Mon
day afternoon, when George D. Gee,
Chinese laundryman, was found lie

stab wounds over his heart
When Federal agents Travelled
through Chinatown yesterday seeking
a clue to the murderers, the ortentals
merely shrugged their shoulders ana
with an inscrutabIe countenance sol
.mnIy assured the agents they know
nothing of the crime. But th' au-
thorities understood and expressed
their belief that the chapter has been
closed foreyermore-
Although Gee knew he was doomed
Chinese since the tongs placed a price
on his head several weeks ago-the
amount was said to be S50o--he con-
tlnued TO play Ine iOio u SNSN1 H-s

peddIers. His last Job was four days
ago. when he led Federal agents to an
oniunn establishment in Newark. N. J.
Precautions had been taken to protect
Gee from the tongs' hatchet men be-
caus. Of his valued services to the
Government.
Other Chinese had essayed similar
role but one after another they paid
the penalty of their espionage. Gee
was the last Of them. He appeared
recently in a film picture depicting
opIum scenes, which were exhibited
throughout the country. Then the
tongs knew why the authorities were

fCretold.
Gee was discovered by his American
wife Mrs. Lille Ford Gee, who has
been held as a material witness. Louis

Is also held by the authorities on sus-
picion of knowing something Of the

CAPITOL CANVASS
REVEALS NOTICES
OF CLERKS BILL

An incomplete canvass OF the Sen
ate and the House by the Federation
of Federal Employees today revealed
that the Kesting bill. providing for
wage increases OF all Federal clerks
of from to 80 per cent on their base
pay, has SO far encountered no oppo-
sitIon-
OF the twenty-three replies from
members Of the House, twenty-one un-
conditionaIly pledged themselves to
work and vote for the bill Two de-
clined to make a statement. There
were no opponents among the eight
cen members of the Senate who re-
piled. All were in favor OF the Keat-
Ing bill, and promised their support
when II comes before the Senate.
The canvass was the result OF q
form letter sent to these Senators and
congressmen by H. NJ. McLarin, presi-
dent of the National Federation Of
Federal Employees. The Keating bill
provides for an emergency increase
for the next fiscal year, and Mr. Keat-
ing at a recent hearing reiterated the
fact that the bill Is not intended to
AFFECT, and, in fact, will not affect, the
base pay OF Federal workers.
In almost every case the letters lay
emphasis on the fact that they have
long felt that the Federal employees
are not securing adequate compensa,
tion for the work performed. Many
OF the letters even go so far as 20
state that permanent increases should
be made.

FAREWELL IS SAID
CONGREGATIONS RECEPTION TO
REV. AND MRS. LoEHR.

The members of the First Reform
ed church surprised Rev. C. ID. Loehr
and family on Tuesday evening. Rev.
Loehr resigned the pastorate some
time ago, after a service of five years
and three months and is about to
leave the city for a new field of
work. The ladies got up a social
but not a word leaked out 10 the
Loehr family who very opportunity
had gone out Tuesday to the farm
home of the GRANDPA boys on the
Pella road. Miss Bess GRANDPA was
let into the secret at the last minute
and shortly after eight o'clock Mr..
and Mrs. Loehr and four children
were brought home. The lights in
the church basement had been turn
ed off and while a rig or two were
noticed the minister only thought a
wedding party might be awaiting for
him. But in a few minutes nearly
a hundred people, old and young
trOoped into the parsonage from both
sides and took the place by storm.
After joyful greetings everybody re-
paired to the church basement rooms
where delicious refreshments were
served and delightful social time
enjoyed. The consistory boys-el.
ders and deacons-as the result of
a last minutes happy thought, pre-
sented Mr.. Loehr with fine UNI
brella, accompanied by their best
wishes. The result of a similar re-
solve on the part of the ladies will
materialize in the shape of present
of silverware to Mrs. Loehr.
Mr. and Mrs. Loehr are not only
loved by the membership and con-
gregation of the First Reformed
church, but by wide circle of
friends of other denominations and
their departure is the cause of sor-
row and regret to many, but all wish
them continued happiness, prosperity
and success. '..
