AMSTERDAM. May 11.-Announcing
that Emperor Charles Of Austria had
accepted the resignation of DR.. Won
Zolger. a Slovene minister. the cor
respondent at Vienna of the vossische

undoubtedly was connected with meas

would be taken against south Slav agi-

The correspondent adds that a new
Austrian government. or at least a new

WOMAN WAR WORKERS
MAY ADOPT UNIFORM
Matter Being Considered by Groups
Of Department Employes-sec-
rotary Baker Consulted.

Uniform dress, with some insignia to
show that they are war workers. NAV
soen be adopted by woman employees of
the government in Washington. Sew
efal groups of women in the depart
ments have taken the plan under con-
sideration unofficially through social
organizations which they have formed
The majority of the women who are
considering the idea are in the War
Department. and it is understood Secre-
tary Baker has been requested to look
into the proposal.
Fear that different groups of women
might adopt varying uniforms with
distinctive insignia led some to express
the belief that il the uniform dress idea
10 to be carried out one plan should be
approved by the departments and worn
by all.
Suggestion by Maj. Potter.
Maj. q. L. Potter. head of the housing
and health division of the War Depart
ment, touched on the uniform dress
question at meeting of the Woman
War Workers of America at the Raleigh
Hotel Friday night This organization
Is composed of women of the War De-
partment. and was one of the first
groups to consider the dress question.
"HHIe oftteT was not
pared to say how far the uniform
idea should go. he expressed the
belief that some standard style of dress
could be adopted that would prove
economical to the women and cut down
the cost Of living. which has prompt
ed many to resign and go home.
In addition to the advantage of
economy. Maj. Potter says he be-
lieves the wearing of some insignia by
the women would make them feel that
they were part of the war machine,
and arouse in them an enthusiasm in
their work, by making them feel that
they are part of a big civilian army
and not individual clerks.
Says All Should Be Consulted.
Miss Maude Miles. president of the
Supply Division Recreation Club, an
other group of War Department en-
ployes, expresses the opinion that no
uniform dress regulation should be
adopted officially by the government
without consulting all the women OF
the department. who would be reQuir-
ed to make additional expenditures in
order to meet the requirements.

May Cause Delay.

Indications are that some collectors
offices may be unable to get out all no.
tees Of taxes by June IS, and, since tax
payers are allowed ten days after receipt
of the notice before they are liable for
penalties as delinquents. millions of dol
lars in payments may be deferred until
nearly July l or even later.
This is true particularly of excess
profits taxes involved in some cases now
being examined by the Treasury's excess
profits reviewers. who probably will not be
able to complete their task Of inspecting
the accumulated returns until late in the
summer Hundreds Of these have been
referred to the reviewers. and action has
been taken on few.
Most are being classified according to
businesses.

sequently must be judged on the basis
Of the percentage of profit made by

day on which interest deduction Of 3
per cent a year on the month remain
ing until June IS will be allowed.
Thousands of persons now are paying
their taxes in advance, making no de-

The village council at a special
meeting last Tuesday afternoon act
ing under the advice of the local
health officer established a second
quarantine prohibiting all public
gatherings. The order was necessta-
ted by second epidemic of Influenza
more extensive than the first one.
The disease took a fresh start last
Friday when in some instances whole
families came down with it with no
warning whatever. Since that day
it has gained headway rapidly, and
there are now probably somewhere
near hundred cases in the village
and surrounding country. There have
been no fatalities, and while some of
the patients are seriously i'll, it is
thought with proper care and vigil
ance on the part of the citizens of
the community, there need be no
deaths. The quarantine order in
cludes the schools, churches, lodges,
theatre, pool room, card rooms, and
all other meetings or gatherings
where people congregate. All child
rem suffering with colds or threatened
with any kind of sickness are warned
to remain at home, and people are
cautioned not to congregate or loiter
in public places. Strict observance
of the provisions of the order are
imperative, and immediate care and
attention to the first symptoms Of
illness necessary if Paw Paw would
go through the present crisis without
funeral.

We the people of Michigan, have
many reasons for thankfulness.
We are thankful that our fertile
fields have yielded abundantly of their
fruits.
We are thankful that a dread
epidemic has been stayed, through
the prompt measures taken by the
public health authorities throughout
the State and the intelligent cooper
alton of the whole people.
We are thankful that we are Amer
leans, and that no part Of our land
has been laid waste by the cruel raw
ages of war.
We are thankful that our Michigan
soldiers and sailors, by their deeds of
valor, have written glorious chapter
in the annals of the Great War; and
that the indomitable spirit of our
people has manifested itself to the
end.
But, most of all, we are thankful
that this terrible, devastating war,
which for more than nineteen months
has dominated our thought and dicta-
ted our action, is at last practically
ended and soon we shall be free to
devote our energies and activities to
the constructive arts of peace. The
long night of darkness and sorrow
and travail and tears and blood is
over and the day of blessed peace has
dawned upon the world-peace, and
victory.
Therefore, I, Albert f. Sleeper,
Governor of the State of Michigan, do
hereby join the president of the
United States in designating "Thurs-
day, the twenty-eighth day of Novem-
ber next, as a day of Thanksgiving
and prayer.
Given under my hand and the great
Seal of the State, this eighteenth day
of November, in the year of our Lord

teen, and of the Commonwealth the
eighty-second.

YANKEE OFFICER
PUTS A ~CRIMP IN
FRENCH GRATING

A French Seaport, Jan. 7.-(Corres-
pondence Of the Associated Press.)-
The exploitation of American soldiers
by French hotel keepers and merch-
ants, has Just eliminated here in a
vigorous measure which so far as this
important disembarking point is con-
cerned at least, has made a great i'm
preston.
The landlord of one of the principal
hotels, finding bis rooms all taken by
American officers. appeared to con-
slider that the law of supply and de-
mand justified in his case a consider
able increase in profits. The price Of
rooms doubled; meals and drinks
went up in proportion.
Rear Admiral Wilson's attention
having been drawn to the situation lie
waited on the mayor who regretted the
fact but found himself unable to in
terfere with the freedom of commerce.
Admiral Wilson ordered the officers
living there to move, placed sentries
in front of the building with orders tn
keep every American soldier away
from the place. The argument was
decisive. The landlord begged that
the Introduction be removed but thus
far Admiral Wilson is obdurate and
the hotel is almost empty.
