SECOND EVACUATION OF
 TiLLOLY.

The eva cuation of the French viii iogc of Tilloly has been made neces- sary b. the recent German offensive. Count D'Hinnisdal, mayor of the viii 'age, reports in letter to Mrs. Mat thew T. Scott, chairman of the war relief committee Cf the Daughters Of the American Revolution. "The dis asler has befallen the village" writes Count D'Hinnisdal, "as a consequence of the German offensive during the first days Of March, almost the anni- yersary of the retreat of the enemy in 1917. The worst days of 1914 were liVe2 again, and these poor people were driven forth to find shelter as best they could. But do not think that our morale force is attacked by all this confusion; it remains the same. All have firm belief in the final tri- ulnph, which we shall owe to the pow erful and generous assistance of Am erica"

MORE THAN SYMPATHY IS NEEDED, SYSTEM

Chicago JournaD

Secretary Lansing said yesterday that the United States government views with "earnest sympathy" the nationalistic aspirations of the Czechs and Slovaks and of the Jugo Slavs.
 Earnest sympathy is good, but it is not enough. It is time the American government and the American people understood and acted upon the abso- ute community of interests between these little nations and ourselves. The Czecho-Slovaks and the Jugo Slays are the outposts Of our own lib critics. If they are free, our own free

SPLENDID MOVEMENT STARTED BY WORTHY
 WOMEN OF CITY
Old Clothing Made Into Neat and Comfortable Garments
 For Refugees

Mrs. Bert Leib. is the originator of very splendid movement started a shCrt time ago in aid of the Belgian and French refugees.
 Old clothes have been. collected here and there laundered and made into neat and comfortable garments. Mrs. Leib has been assisted by few of her friends and tne enterprise is such success that a public appeal is made for old clothes, and the work is to go on, on larger scale. Messrs Capp and Bold of the Electric Laundry who have done the washing free, are willing to cail in any part of the city to collect the smallest or the largest bundle you have if you call them up by rhone, or you may leave your bun dle at their Electric Laundry down town This is a service by the laun- dry that cannot lightly be estimated.
 Mrs. Leib is to make display of these made up garments shortly in enc of the store windows, among other things you will notice the neat and dainty baby slips, these were made from flour sacks donated by MT. Hen- eghan, children's dresses from old shirts, etc.
 The dshermen have responded with huge bundles that when washed could scarcely be duplicated for qual- ity of material. and the wide range of things that could be made from them
 Remember these so to children and people who are utterly destitute of every thing, who are in dire need of an you can spare. Call 156 or drop your bundle at the Electric Laundry

dom is secure. If they are left slaves CT the Hapsb bures, who in turn have come to be but puppets of the Hohen- zollerns, then that family of congen- ital criminals will be able, after a seas on Of recuperation, to begin again it's scheming for world mastery, and the whole weary struggle will have to be fought anew
 There are nearly 30,00O,O0O Slays and Latins in Austria-Hungary. All of them hate both Hohenzollern and Hapsburg. All of them long to be free from the savage dominion of-Teu- ton and Magyar. All of them pray for the victory of the allies. But all of them are compelled to give their wealth, their labors, and in many cases their blood to serve the mon- archs whom they hate, uphold the re- zine which they abhor, and defeat. the friends whom they love.
 Such system must be destroyed The world can not exist half Pan German and half free It must be one thing CT the other; and in free world, there is no room for an Austria-Hun- gary. We should give the Czehs and Slovaks and the Jugo Slavs, not merely our earnest sympathy" but our frank recognition as free and in- dependent peoples; and then we should work with money and propa- sanda as well as arms and munitions to make that freedom real and perm anent.

ISSUES WARNING ON
STATES EXPENSES
Senator Sage Declares They
Must Be Decreased or
Taxes Increased.
Special Despatch 10 THE sus.

ALBANY, Dec. S.-A note OF warning
was sounded tonight by Senator
Henry NJ. Sage. chairman OF the Sen-
ate Finance Committee. that the NEXT
Legislature has a much more impor-
tant question to solve than prohibition
when 1t comes to the consideration OF
appropriations TO run the state gov
eminent.
He has tabulated the requests Of the
State departments and institutions for
appropriations for the fiscal year be-
ginning July 1 and they total ts6.s6s.-
064. The appropriations to run the
State government for the present fiscal
year amounted to fsl.525,271, or $751;
100000 less than is requested for next
year.
Chairman Sage also points out that
the estimated financial resources Of
the State for next year will be $12 ,000.-
600 less than this year and that the
State must either retrench or provide
for increased taxation.
When Gov. Odell abolished the direct
tax to meet the ordinary expenses Of
State government in 1909 the state
had been raising about s1o,0oo,o00 a
year by direct tax on real estate to
help pay the cost Of State government
Consequently tie size OF the direct tax
was always a political issue and each
party tried to have a low direct tax
upon entering a State campaign.
When it was suggested by Gov.

Odell that the direct tax De abolished
through an increase In the taxes to be
secured through indirect sources It
was insisted that this would mean
greatly increased expenses of govern
ment each year as the people would
not care how much was spent II the
money was not raised through a direct
tax on real estate. At the time Odcll
was Governor the total expenses OF the
State government were only s25,000.00O
a year, and in sixteen years they have
risen to the enormous total OF SSl. O00.-
900. amply justifying the objections
then made to the ending of a direct
tax for general State purposes. In
q statement issued tonight Chairman
Sage said
ut is absolutely necessary either
that our receipts be increased or our
expenditures diminished. The State
will either become bankrupt or the
people OF the State must pay more in
tayatlc-.. The only alternative to this
is that the activities OF the State be
curtailed to a large extent.
Il wish to call the attention of the
people OF the State 10 the fact that
each year new laws are being urged
on the Legislature which Will add still
further to the State activities and in
crease enormously the expenses with
out any intelligent suggestion or plan
TO increase the revenues OF the State
sufficiently to meet the added OK
pense.
"of course the State can spend al
most any amount and can then pass
laws to increase its revenue sum
ciently to meet its expenses, but this Is
not sound business, and even II the
people OF the State would stand in
definitely such methods of finance the
result would be deplorable in tho
waste and extravaganza which would
result The greatest task which the
Legislat ure has this year is not tho
approval or disapproval OF a Federal
prohibition amendment, but 1t is a
sound method OF taxation and a care
full retrenchment wherever possible in
its constantly mounting expenditures"

UNTER MYER ASKS
SENATE HEARING
Lawyer Wants to Read State
ment Defending His
Loyalty.

Samuel Untermyer sent a telegram
to Senator Lee $. Overman, chairman
OF the subcommittee OF the Senate
Judiciary Committee. asking permits
sion to appear before the committee
Tuesday 10 make q statement con-
"erning the alien enemy propaganda
that has been investigated by Mr..
Overman's confreres. Mr.. Untermyer
offers to submit n written statement
If it is wanted.
Il request in the meantime" says
the message, that there be noted my
respectful protest against the use u
your records as n medium for publicly
pillorying and incorporating loyal
citizens for having in 1915 joined
movement which was supported by the
authorities and given wide publicity
by the press at the time TO obtain the
aid OF the State and Post Office de-
partments in furnishing milk to starv-
ing German babies.
THE same thing was being done for
the French babies and by some of the
same people, including myself. did
not know OF the circumstances, but 1t
now appears that the milk committee
was not organized at our home, but at
the home OF DR.. II. ]. Wolf, and that in
1915 Mrs. Untermyer committed the
heinous crime thereafter OF not only
permitting but actually abetting' q
meeting at her home to devise ways
and means Of urging upon our State
and Post Office departments that they
obtain the consent of Great Britain 10
the lifting Of its blockade in so far rs
to permit dried milk 10 be sent to the
starving babies OF Germany. Our Gov
eminent was then insisting that the
blockade was contrary to interna-
tional law and a personal appeal was
made to President Wilson.
at further appears that this widely
advertised criminal organization was
to furnish the milk and that Mrs. Un-
termyer not only encouraged but ac-
tually contributed to this malign
propaganda and that too at a time
when we were a peace with Germany.
AS soon as Mrs. Untermyer found
that our Government was unable to do
anything to get the milk to Germany
over the blockades she reluctantly re-
signed.
She. of course, knew nothing about
DR.. Won Mache's other activities II he
had any. 1t so happens that a like
organization. which has been success
full in raising money and In furnish
ing large shipments Of milk to babies
in France, was and is still receiving
my support. and is in possession of
my home at SIS Fifth avenue. free OF
rent. at a cost to me OF over $4,000 a
year for rent and advertising"
Mr.. Untermyer wants the message
read into the record and questions the
fairness of the publications attaching
improper motives to the movement
and It's sponsors.

who Is an English officers wife and
well In touch with life over there, de-
clared that the war had altered the
whole viewpoint Of both employee and
employer in domestic service In her
country.
The well 20 do women" she said
nave learned that 1t really is not
necessary TO have a number OF per-
sons Waiting on them or on their fami-
lies. They have learned that they can
walt on themselves. AZ for the Waacs
and the Wrens and the Wafs-the
women of the army corps, the navy
corps and the dir force. those wonder
ful women recruited from all walks in
life to help their fighters--does any
one think those who went from the
four walls OF a private Kitchen will
like going back after their expert
ences? No, life in England will have
TO be readjusted. and the worker Is
going TO have a broader sphere"
However. let the housekeeper not
despair. For those who will treat their
maids as woman to woman there is
still hope. A good many girls who
focked from the kitchen to tho air
craft or munitions factory are think
ing with some pleasure OF their COM
Portable old berths. where they drew
SIS month at least and nothing to
spend II for. and are feeling that a
nice private home il better to live in
than a barracks near a Government
works.
THEY are coming back slowly and
will come faster az timO goes on, I
believe" the secretary at an employ
ment agency in West Forty-flfth
street said yesterday. Certainly they
are better Off financially in household
labor than in factories. There is no
class of woman worker that puts as
much In the savings bank as does the
domestic servant.
Another Chance to Help.
THE objection is the long hours
some OF them have, the lack OF definite
arrangements as to hours. Possibly
the remedy for this will be putting
domestic labor on the basis OF other
labor-certain pay for a certain num-
Der OF hours, the worker living out
side.
1T is a pity that people who are
doing things for working women don't
think more of the domestic servant
She is the only one for whom nothing
is done. The Y. W. c. \. and other
agencies have their centres which arc
used by stenographers and factory
girls, &c. but there is no club, no
centre foN the cook and maid and
hired girl.' II only there was q club
where such women could go OF an
evening, where they could get a room
at reasonable rates when out of a
place. where there would be classes
for them in sewing and gymnastics
and so on, It would do incalculable
good. The Y. W. c. A. is too expensive
for these girls, who are nearly all
saving up TO help their people in the
old country. But clubs such as I am
Of could easily be self-sup-
porting ard pay for them selves over
and over. 1t is time for some one to
come forv ard and do something for
the forgot en- domestic worker
