The Presidents non-partisan political

Hefin said. by the appointment Of Re-

members of Congress who had not sup

Washington, Sept. 12-Mr. Tumulty
in reply to Chairman Hays, made
public tonight, said he was glad to
have the latter's disclaimers"
THE general trend of your letter,
however, still leaves doubt in my
mind, Mr.. Tumulty said, las to the
responsiveness & some Of the Re
publican managers to the clearly
implied lesire Of the American people
to keep politics out Of the war.
While the whole thought Of President
Wilson has been given TO the sue
cessful prosecution Of the war, the
foremost leaders of the Republican
party, including yourself and Sen
ator Penrose. have been making fer
vent arguments in favor of restora-
ton Of the old political control Of the
country"

MORE TEA DRINKING
DUE TO PROHIBITION
Importation Into U. S. Increases
Heavily, Statistics Show.

New York, Nov. 8.-An increase
in the consumption of tea is one
of the first results of the spread Of
prohibition, according to the foreign
trade record of the National City
Bank. In its letter just issued, the
bank says:
The marked increase in the i'm
portation of tea into the United
States lends interest to a statement
made by a British tea grower. that
world consumption of tea is now
exceeding production by reason OF
the reduced consumption of alcoholic
liquors in many of the principal
countries of the world"
The banks figures show that i'm

Kidd that her son would have fin

WAR WORKERS
NOW PUZZLE
Means of Taking Care of
Clerks May Be Put Up
to Congress.

The UnsOlved problem of how to
take care of the grand army of war
workers who will lose their Jobs,
many of the total being women, is
St1ll engaging the attention of Sec
rctary Baker
The Secretary indicated yester-
day that getting these faithful
workers back to their homes might
eventually be referred to Congress.
He intimated that he might suggest t
to Congress the passage of a joint
resolution which would provide
ample money to pay the way of
workers to places whence they came.
1t was stated by some of the Of
iCials that if such a resolution were
put through, Congress might en-
large its scope so as to provide for
war workers. who would be let out
in other departments.
Way be Treated as Soldiers.
1t is not unlikely that if Con-
gress should take up the matter. re-
turning workers would be treated
just as returning soldiers are treat
ed. They are given a two cent rail-
way fat rate if they go home with
in twenty-fOur hours after being
mustered out. They will get 1-2
cents per mile travel pay, but only
those who go home Immediately will
have the benefit of the cent per
mile rate.
1t has been reported to the War
Department from New York, Phila-
delphia and Chicago that there are
many soldiers stranded and unable
to get home. War Department Of
fiCials say that in view of the special
arrangements made for those mus
tered out there is no valid reason
for any such cases.
