be glad to quit on proposition to
resume the status quo. But Italy
would not consent to that. The Ital-

without giving them what they need
to defend their land forever against
Teuton aggression would be not only
dishonorable but dangerous.

AMERICAN CHILDREN
REPORTED MISSING
Were on Liner California With Mother
When 1t Sunk.

CBy the International News service.)
Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. S.-lnquiry here
shows that two children born in Phila-
delphia and their mother are among the
number of missing of the company OF
the steamship California, torpedoed with
out warning by German submarine on
the Irish coast. The children are those
OF Mrs. Mary ]. O'Donnell, and she was
taking them to her fathers home in Scot
land. A third O'Donnell child is reported
among those saved.
The children were Cornelius, 10; James,
3, and Mary. Z. Available advices from
England fail to give the name of the
rescued child. Mrs. ODonnell was a
Scot, and while she had lived here eigh-
teen years she was not naturalized Her
husband was an Irishman, and according
to information he never obtained citizen
ship papers. He has been separated
from his family and that was one reason
why the mother was taking the children
to Scotland.
All three children were born in the
Southern section of this city, were oap-
tized at st. Anthony's Catholic Church
and Cornelius had attended the parochial
school of the same church.
Following the division in the O'DonneTl
family. Mrs. O'Donnell and the children
went to live at the home of Mrs. Ida &.

CLERKS V|CT0RS
House Stands by 5 and 10 Per
Cent Increases.

After a day of spirited debate, the
House last night sent the legislative bill
back to conference, without instructing
the conferees on section :, which provides
and 10 per cent graded increases for
Federal employees in and below the 81, 800
grade.
The fact that no opinion was sought
from the House on the question Of con-
curing or receding on the House pro-
vision as against the Smoot amendment
Of the Senate. means that the lower
branch conferees will insist upon the s
and 10 per cent increases.
Federal employees construed the action
of the House conferees as one step nearer
ultimate victory and last night expressed
confidence that before the passing of the
Sixty-fstrth Congress SIS 900 900 in salary
increases will be granted to government
and District employees.
