INVESTIGATION STARTS
Cases Of Aliens Will Be Looked
Into Immediately by U. S.
Marshal.

Registration Of seventeen German
aliens in the draft here yesterday
caused Maurice Splain, United States
marshal for the District, to order an
investigation. The cases of the men
will be looked into Immediately.
Marshal Splain declared that while
German subjects are excluded from
the District, several such aliens are
allowed to remain here by the De-
partment of Justice, for important
reasons, until further notice.
Mr.. Splain said that until he has in
vestigated the cases of seventeen Ger
man regfstrants he cannot tell
whether the men allowed to remain
here form part or all Of these regis
trants. =
There is no bar in the District
against Austro-Hungarians, Turks or

When the bill establishing mini.

lumbia was taken up again for con-
sideration in the Senate today, Sem
ator Smoot Of Utah sought to have
its consideration postponed until
Tuesday.
Senator Trammell Of Florida, who
introduced the bill in the Senate, in
sisted upon consideration today. Sem

manded that the bill be read, al
though it was read to the Senate in

The parliamentary situation had adj
vanced SO far on Wednesday that the
Dill could not be opened for amend.
ment unless by unanimous consent.
When Senator Smoot today offered an
amendment, which was merely a
change in phraseology, Senator Jones
OF Washington objected, and the
amendment therefore was withdrawn.
-: senator Tramnell explained that the
Dill was unopposed by the Merchants
Association in the District Of Column

Reed Of Missouri attacked the bill as
socialistic.

Sliced Ham Not on List.

Certain members of the fair price
committee again attempted to obtain
the committees approval of placing
quotations or the price list for sliced
ham, but. as has been their experience
for the past six weeks. were outvoted.
AS result, stores selling sliced ham
can charge almost anything for it,
while the same ham in whole form is
quoted on the price list at from 80 to
So cents a pound.
The advocates of quotations on ham
when 1t Is sliced contend that most deal
ers charge anywhere from rs per cent
to 100 per cent more for the ham when
they slice it. This, they declared to the
other members of the committee, is far
too great price difference, and that
the prevailing sliced ham prices in
Washington. with but few exceptions,
are excessive.
Another step toward bringing about
. stricter observance Of the fair-price
list was taken today when the local
administrator assigned Inspector Gala
han Of the local administration to regu-
lar inspection duty at the Center market,
Louisiana avenue and the so-called farm
ers' line. This inspector will work in
conjunction with the market expert
who has been assigned to a similar
work by the bureau Of markets Of the
Department of Agriculture.

q. S. Takes Big Amount.

These quotations are made by the
fair price committee of the District
food administration. The advance in
the price of best print butter is at
tributed to the existence of slight
rhnr+-~e due to the u. S. government
reQuisitioning about 60 per cent of all
the Queer III storage in this country
for shipment to the armed forces
abroad. No reason was advanced for
the increase in process butter.
The increase in the sugar price is
not being confined to Washington. The
101k cent price was today established
as general throughout the country
and will remain the same during the
remainder of the sugar year. which
ends June 1 next.
The price list for the next seven
days does not contain quotations on
potatoes. as formerly. Inasmuch as
potato prices are quoted on the daily
market guide. the local administrator
deemed 1t unnecessary to make quo
tations on the weekly list.

HOLLAND NEXT?

According to press reports the
Dutch minister has left Berlin and
the German diplomatic representative
at the Hague has returned to his own
country. If this is true, a severance
of relations between the two cOun-
tries would seem inevitable. The
Dutch foreign minister is quoted us
stating that the situation is extremely
serious. 1t appears that Germany is
taking advantage of her proximity to
Holland in order to force the little
Dutch neighbor to bow to the will OF
Prussianism or else endure the fate
OF Belgium and Luxembourg. That
is the old German game. She shakes
the mailed fist at a weak adjacent
country and threatens it with de-
struction If it refuses to bend to the
yoke. Germany pretends to be
aroused over the alleged non-dCliVery
Of sand from Holland. We arc Of
the opinion that if Germany tries to
oyerrun Holland she viii find that
the Dutch possess a good deal Of that
other kind of sand which sometimes
enboldens a little country to dare a
brutal, bullying neighbor even at the
risk of disaster to itself IN any

The revelations of German hypoc-

mer German, ambassador to Grcat
Britain, caused such an uproar in the
was foreign minister in Berlin at the
time the world war broke out, has
issued an official statement intended
it is true, to prove that LichnoWsky
was wrong, but which in reality
strengthens the latter's assertions and
shows more conclusiyely than ever
that Germany wanted this war, pro

The civilized world knows that
England bent every effort toward a
peaceful adjustment of the quarrel
which occurred when the Austrian
archduke was assassinated at Sera-
jewo, and the confession by man
who was then foreign minister of
Germany, that his country refused to
consider a discussion of the situation,
makes it absolutely clear now that
Berlin was behind Austria and re-
fused to permit the latter country to
accept Serbia $ offer Of restitution for
the outrage. But the most prepos-
ferrous part of it all is the sham eful
to have the war "localized'' She de-
liberately planned to stage local"
war between Austria with great
army and Serbia with q small one so
that the bigger nation could subdue
! the weaker one. The terrible reva GEES
wrought by previous Balkan wars left
Serbia in no condition to conduct war
against a powerful nation. and Yet
Germany compelled her ally to de-

conflict. Her attitude was like that
Of a degenerate who likes to see blood
