SATURDAY HALF HOLIDAYS
MAY START NEXT WEEK
Presidents Executive Order, Issued
in 1914, Still Effective-Up to
Departments Heads.

Unless the unexpected happens the
Saturday half-hofiday for government
employers will go into effect Saturday.
June Is.
The question OF granting the half
holiday for the summer period. from
June Is to September 16. has not been
considered at a meeting of the cabinet
to date. it was learned today. neither
has the matter been given any especial
attention by any cabinet official.
While it is known there has been
pressure brought to bear in various
quarters to do away with the. Saturday
half holiday this summer. on account Of
the war emergency, the executive order
of June 9. 1914. still stands. whereby.
for the period INDICATED each year. four
hours shall constitute a work day on
Saturday in the government DEPART
raents.
Unless the President should issue an
other order the one of 1914 automatical-
IL will go into effect next Saturday. the
first Saturday after June Is.
The order specifies that for special
public reasons" any head az any de-
partment may suspend the holiday for
the federal employees under him. Under
this provision il is regarded as most
likely that employees of the War. State
and Navy Departments, the bureau OF
printing and engraving. the printing Of
flee and perhaps a few other bureaus
will not get any Saturday hah-holiday
this summer.

Ing among German aviators. Scarcely
an issue Of the Berlin. Hamburg or
other papers which circulate among
officers appears without at least two

Occasionally there Is noteworthy
one, like today's announcement of the
death of Lieut.. Schaefer. who was
mentioned in dispatches on Tuesday
for bringing down his th.rtieth enemy
airplane. Lieut.. Schaefer gained dis
tinction in the travelling circus" Of
Capt. Won Richthofen, and was lately
