PARIS, France, December 21.-Ro-
main ROLAND. abed with influenza,
writes from Switzerland to friend in
Paris:
During the last fortnight perusal
of the news from France has often
weighed more heavily on me than the
fever. The allies believe themselves
victorious. l regard them, unless
they regain control of themselves,
as vanquished by Bismarckism. I'm
less they straighten up, I foresee a
century of hatred, new wars of re-
venge and the destruction of Euro
pean civilization. I may add that l
would not regret the latter if vic
torious people show themselves so in
capable of directing their own des-
TIMES.
May they, in the midst of their in
toricating but deceptive triumphs
regain consciousness of their crushing
responsibilities for the future. LIE,
them remember. every one, that their
errors will be paid for by their chill
dren and grandchildren"

MORE HEARINGS LIKELY
ON D. c. FINANCE BILL
Senate Committee Will Probably
Restore Half-and-Half Provision
in Measure.

Further hearings on the District
APPROXIMATION bill before the Senate
appropriations subcommittee probably
will be held this week, though no date
for a meeting of the committee has
vet been set by Senator Smith OF
MARYLAND. it's chairman. The hear
ings, however, have been nearly COM
pleted, and the committee will begin
revising the bill in executive session
soon.
The bill will have the right of way
in the Senate as soon as the revenue
bill has been disposed of, and prob
ably will be taken up for considera-
ton Immediately after the holidays.
While the subcommittee has not yet
acted upon the House provision do
ing away with the half-and-half plan
of appropriating for the District,
members of the committee have said
they were strongly opposed I'd the
House plan, and it is expected the
half-and-half plan will be restored
before the bill is reported to the
Senate.
The question of Increased salaries
for employees of the District govern
ment also must be determined by the
committee. While it is known that
the committeeman sympathize with
the proposal that salaries be increas-
ed, it may be that the committee will
refrain from recomm ending increases
at this time, believing that the ques
ton of salary increases for District
employees and the employees of the fed
eral government will be dealt with
as a whole in some other appropria-
ton bill, as it was this year.

I have heard considerable contro-

Both magnetic and induction coil
make current because they cut the
magnetic lines Of force by means
