GERMAN CHILDREN
PAL" WITH YANKS

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY OF
OCCUPATION IN GERMANY, Dec. Is
(By Courier to Nancy).-The Ameri-
cans now are two days march beyond
the Rhine, and their peaceful penetra-
tion OF Prussia is endearing them in
the hearts of the German children.
Rain that had been falling. ceased
on Saturday. and the sun came out
The mud was ankle deep, but the
clear weather added to the enchant-
ment OF the marvellous scenery and
the doughboys were willing to over
look small hardships. The Americans
logged past great wooded mountains
and castles that looked just like the
kind they used to read about in books.
There was keen curiosity in every
glance as the men. swung through
quaint villages and past old taverns,
with their distinctive architecture.
There were throngs of school chill
dren in every yard. Many Of them
scampered toward the troops at the
first halt, and a few stuck out their
tongues at the smiling doughboys.
At every stop the soldiers made fast
friends with the little ones. One war
artist sketched a picture OF q six
foot sentry, with shrapnel helmet and
fixed bayonet, holding by the hand a
tow-headed youngster wearing part
of his daddy's uniform.
The quickness with which this
friendship sprang up surprised and
pleased the adult Germans, but the
American doughboy is a marvel and
hypnotizes everyone. He Is just as
ready to make friends as he is to
fight. And he is just as much at home
in Germany as he was in France,
England, and Belgium. There Is one
thing about the doughboy-you can
set him down anywhere, among any
kind of surroundings, and he at once
begins to get acquainted and make
himself. comfortable.
It is astonishing how quickly the
Yanks can juggle a new language
The poilu has been immortalized, but
he has nothing upon the doughboys.
The formers home and dear ones
have been menaced. and in returning
from the front perhaps he found only
pile of ruins where the old home
stead had stood, but he could visit
old scenes and old friends. On fur
Tough, the American spent what little
time he had among strangers. He
fought and bled, and many OF his com
rades died. thousands of miles from
home-all for a principIe-and he
fought gallantly, with endurance, pa
thence, sacrifice, and courage. He has
been the one greatest feature OF the
war.

Believing the supplemental esti-
mates OF the various department
heads for increases in salaries of Cow
ernment employees are entirely inade-
quats and declaring that 1t will con-
tinue to urge on Congress the pro-
posed fiat increase OF $3.50 = year,
along with the passage of the john
son-Nolan bill making So per day the
minimum wage OF Government en-
ployes. the National Federation of
Federal Employees today Issued
statement expressing its views on the
pay increase question.
The statement, which was issued
from the headquarters of the fedora
tion. in the American Federation Of
Labor Building, and which has the
backing of the American Federation
OF Labor, says:
Ask SI.Os0 Minimum.
"The departments estimates very
Justly provide irst OF all for the low
est paid workers, of whom there are
many thousands receiving leess than d
living wage. But they do not give
these workers enough. We ask for
inc NOldh sO-h-uAg VI
$1.0S0 per year. while they ask for
as little as 5000 and even 5000 in
some cases.
"The department heads very Justly
provide also for better pay for a con-
siderable number OF the higher grade
executives. This we advocate as a
matter of justice and efficiency both.
But with a delatively few excep.
tions, the department heads skip In
their recommendations the vast num-
bers OF the middle group of workers.
where the salaries run from 81 200 to
5000 per year. These employee. like
all the rest. have to contend with the
fact that the purchasing power OF
the dollar has gone down to 81 cents,
and most .of them have families or
other dependents to support. II Con-
gress should adopt the departments
recommendations, emitting the 200
to $4,000 group from the increases.
these employees would suffer an actual
reduction in their present pay. be-
cause they would lose the $120 tenn
porary increase allowed them during
the current year.
Examine Table.
THE situation is easily realized
upon examination Of the table of de-
partment estimates submitted to the
Appropriations Committee. OF the
total s., 900 called for in these
estimates. s1,644,OOO would go to the
District OF Columbia employees alone.
the District government having the
largest proportion OF workers receiv-
ing less than a living wage, though
not the largest number of all grades.
The Interior Department. which is
the only department that recommends
any considerable number of in
creases in the grades between 81 200
and $4,000, will receive S259.320. The
Department of Commerce. which con-
fines its recommendations largely TO
the higher salary grades, would re-
ceive the next largest allotment,
amounting to S106,5S0. Thus nearly
g., 900, 900 OF the estimates would be
allotted to three departments. while
such big establishments as the Post
office Department and the Navy De-
partment would receive but 5000
and $1,000.
"In other words, counting only the
normal 10000 Government employees
in Washington. and leaving. out the
80 900 recent appointees, to say moth
ing OF the entire field service, IL may
be seen at a glance what a small pro-
portion Of the Government workers
would be relieved by the increases
