RAISE ASKED FOR MEN
IN CUSTOMS SERVICE
Salaries in Thirty Years Advance
4 Per Cent, Against so Per Cent
Increase in Living Costs.

Increased salaries for employees of
the customs service are asked from
Congress by retiring Secretary Nc
Adoo of the Treasury Department.
He points out that a special study
shows that in the thirty years from
1855 to 1914 salaries in this service
had been increased only per cent,
while the cost of living had increased
more than so per cent. This has re-
suited in the government losing some
of it's best men, Mr. McAdoo says.
These revised estimates increase
from s1o.ooo,0oo to s11.ss5,4s4 the
amount asked for defraying the & ex-
fiscal year ending Jane 80, 1920.
Secretary McAdoo therefore recon-
menus in his letter to the Speaker
Of the House that a minimum salary
of IS a day be paid to inspectors of
customs, with corresponding in
creases for the examiners Of mer-
chandise. customs guards, openers
and packers. weighers,. deputy col
lectors. 1aborefs ana other employees.

pressed appreciation to the House

associating himself from that body

SENATORS TAKE UP
THE DISTRICT BILL
Session of Subcommittee Is
Attended by Capitals
Commissioners.

Consideration of the District appro-
priation bill was begun today by the
Senate appropriation committees sub
committee in charge of that measure,
| The District Commissioners were
present to give the committee in
formation in connection with the
items in the bill and the estimate
submitted by them.
An effort will be made to have the
Senate committee replace in the bill
salary increases recommended by the
Commissioners, but which were not
placed in the bill by the House. The
estimates for salary increases amount
to s1.600,0o0. which would put en-
ployes of the District on a footing,
so far as salaries are concerned, with
employees of the federal government.
The salaries paid to the District en-
ployes at present are considerably
lower than those paid for similar work
to employees of the executive depart-
ments.
Prospects are that the subcommittee
will replace in the bill the half-and-
half provision for appropriations for
the District, which was stricken out
by the House without holding hear
ings on this subject. Similar action
was taken by the Senate committee
when the last appropriation bill was
under consideration. The senators to-
day expressed the opinion that there
had been no change in sentiment re-
garding the half-and-half principle
and that they did not think further
hearings on this subject were neces-
Sary.
Senator Curtis today introduced a
proposed amendment to the District
bill providing for $4,000 for the Ma
tional Library for the Blind at 1923 II

By the Associated Press.
AMSTERDAM. December 16.-william
Hohenzollern. the former German
emperor. the Telegram says it under
stands, has refused to leave Holland
after official representations had been
made that his continued presence in
Holland was likely to involve the
country in serious difficulties.
The former emperor, the paper adds,
was told that his free departure
would be a matter of qualification to
the Dutch government.
Ex-Kaiser Played Up as Martyr.
Cnblesrnm to The Evening Star and
Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1918.
THE HAGUE, Holland, December
16.-Reports from Germany indicate
the existence of a strong word-of-
mouth propaganda in favor of the ex-
kaiser and that it is meeting with in
creasing success through the untirine
efforts Of his faithful heneamen. He
is being played up as martyr who
is suffering from the effects of doing
his best for the country.
1t is put forward that If an over
whelming majority of the German
people express the wish that he be
the president of a German republic
careful consideration of the allies It
would make the situation exceedingly
complicated. The sympathies of the
German people are cunningly direct
ed toward the poor exile. who loved
his people enough to relinquish the
throne at danger to liberty and life,
but is still yearning to serve Ger
many.
1t is believed that the former kaiser
has been carefully coached in the part
he is now playing. his complete
the efforts made in his behalf.
Leads Life of Near-Recluse.
AMERONGEN. Holland, December
Is (by the Associated Press).-The
former German emperor continues to
lead the life Of near-recluse. He
is virtually cut OF from communica-
tion with the outside world. Reports
that he was in constant communica-
ton with his former advisers are not
true.
There Is no truth in the rumors
that the former empress is seriously
ill. She has been troubled for years
with an affection of the heart, and
after her arrival here desired to have
her former physician in attendance
He arrived at the castle yesterday
and said that her condition showed
no change.
Whenever there is a break in the
incessant dr>zZle customary in Hol-
land, William HohenZollern and his
wife walk in the rain-soaked grounds
with one or two attendants. Some
times they take a trip in a closed
motor car.
The correspondent inquired into the
rumor that the former emperor in
tended to move his quarters, and
learned that Herr Hohenzollern is
not interested in other houses in Hol-
land, and is not likely to move any
where until he knows more regard
ing his future.
