1900 Giving No Service. .

ut is estimated that 1000 of them
are absolutely doing no service to the
government at all, and that probably
the salary of each one would amount
to about $500. There is $6,000,O00
that are being paid out toward these
1000 superannuated employees for
which the government gets no return
at all and there are $500 left from
whom the government gets only q
partial return; and that will probably
make nearly as great a saving as the
amount the government will ever
have to pay out. In other words, the
bill not only provides for the benefit
of employees but is will benefit the
government by increased efficiency and
in saving the large salaries now paid
to superannuated employees"
The bill was read to the Senate, but
Senator Mcclellan did not press for
action on it yesterday, since he had
told Senator Smoot, who desired to
be heard on the measure, he would
not ask for a vote on it when he was
absent. The bill retains it's place as
the unfinished business of the Senate.

100000 First Year.

1.-The amount paid to these retired
employees" he said, would be a little
less than 100000 the first year,
while the amount collected from the
civil service employees during that
salaries. will be 100000.
THE second year it, will be a little
less than two and a half million dol
lars paid out and 100000 collected.
So it will go until finally it, will
equalize itself and cost the govern
ment 2k per cent and the employees
2 ": per cent. In other words, they
will have a fund there, and instead of
being a cost for the government at
first it will be a very large overplus-
Sc, 9O0,0 900. The first year there will be
collected from the employees more than
is paid out, but when it reaches the
maximum it will equalize itself and
cost per cent Of the employees sala-
rieS.
1T is estimated that there are $500
of these superannuated employees, and
that 1000 are absolutely useless to
the government. Many of those old
people hobble to the buildings. but
are absolutely incapable of doing any
work whatever. The proof before our
committee showed that those are men
and women who have been longest in
service. They are absolutely incap-
able of doing any work for the gov
eminent. Ordinarily, they are getting
the highest rate of pay, and virtually
they are being pensioned now at the
highest rate of pay.

PRESIDENT FAVORS
A:RET|REMENT LAW
Would Approve "Just and
Equitable Measures for
Civil Employees"
MAY BE PASSED THURSDAY

President Wilson is in favor Of
just and equitable retirement law
for civil employees of the government
Senator Mcclellan Of Tennessee told
the Senate yesterday afternoon dur
ing the consideration of the Nickel
lar civil service retirement bill. Con-
siderable progress was made in con-
sideration of the measure yesterday
afternoon. and it may be passed when
the Senate meets on Thursday.
Discussing the attitude of the
President in regard to civil service
retirement legislation, Senator Nc
Kellar said:
Present Plan to President.
Mr.. Heating (who, has introduced
the bill in the house) and I called
on the President and asked him about
it. He did not commit himself abso-
lutely to this bill, but said he would
give it considerations; that he was in
favor of just and fair and equitable
retirement, measure. The only objec-
ton that he raised to it was that it
might constitute a burden on the
treasury curing tno war, Out "ueH
assured that it will not constitute a
burden on the Treasury during the
war, as the figures show conclusively,
then 1 am sure that the Presidents
only objection to it has been met"
Organizations Approve.
Senator Mcclellan told the Senate
that the bill had the approval of the
various civil service organizations,
and that it had been carefully drawn
after consultation with the govern
ment's efficiency experts and statisti-
clans. He argued strongly that the
enactment of a civil service retire.
ment law was only fair to the en-
ployes of the government who give
the best years of their lives to the
service, and pointed out that the
United States and Turkey are the
only large nations which have not
adopted some such plan.
Under running fire of questions by
senators, Senator Mcclellan explained
the operation of the bill. which has
been described as fifty fifty meas
ure, the employees contributing one
half and the government one-half to
the pension fund to be created. He
showed that during the early years of
the operation of the measure. the bill
would not be a drain upon the Treas
ury. He estimated that 1900 superan-
nuated employees would be retired the

ITALIANS MAKE NEW ATTACKS
 ON AUSTRIANS
At Four Points Along Front age of Eight Miles Resume Drive Against Slavs on Piave River Line

ITALIAN ARMY HEADQUAR- TIERS, Wednesday. July 3. (By the As sociated Press) The fighting that is in progress along the lower reaches of the Piave is as severe as was that of last week in this region, where mud. sand and water are everywhere under foot and clumps of tall growing grasses are frequent.
 At four points the Italians attacked the Austrian position in this region along a frontage of eight miles. In this comparatively small stretch no less than twelve temporary bridges thrown across by the Austrians were destroyed by airplanes dropping small barrels of burning oil upon them. The Italian infantry are frequently seen Q short distance away, calmly waiting while the bridges are attacked from the air. the troops then being thrown against the remaining Austrians.
 About the most violent resistance displayed by any of the enemy troops is that of the Bosnians and HerZegov- inians on this front. who eare still wearing their picturesque turbans. As the Italians advance they are finding the dead among these already strip ped by their comrades. There are Oth- CT Austrians, however, who as soon as they are taken prisoner and find them selves safe within the Italian lines cry down with Austria"

 "Of the numerous prisoners taken in and around Vaux July 1st to July 2nd. one gave especially interesting information regarding the German counter attack. The main points of his story were as follows:
 At 4:30 o'clock on the afternoon of July 1st his battalion while drilling in a rear area. suddenly received the order to fall in with marching equip ment. At 2 o'clock they left camp and proceeded by the Chateau-Thierry- Paris road and other minor roads through Vinceless to point about 1000 yards from Vaux. There they lay in readiness for the counter attack which was scheduled to take place at 3:15 o'clock So heavy was the artil- lery fire on both sides. however. that it was impossible for them to advance until 3:45 o'clock.
