mission Tests.

A call for 1000 stenographers and
typists to fill vacancies in the war
risk insurance bureau was sent out

sion.

not the only bureau in need Of more
clerical help and that any person ca
pable of passing a stenographer and
typist examination has an opportu-
nifty now to obtain immediate ap-
pointment in the government service
here.

the war will be made slowly. There
are still 10000 stenographers and
typists in the departments in Wash
ington, the commission states.
Persons interested should apply at

q. S. DEATH RATE IN WAR.
46 Per Thousand Men Lost, Is Of
fetal COMPUTATION.

Computed on the basis of the entire
number Of soldiers reaching France the
infantry battle death rate was fifty-five
per 1000 for officers and forty-six per
1000 for men. The infantry rate greatly
exceeds that Of any other service. The
air service officer rate was thirty one
per 1000. No other service exceeded
sixteen per 1000 for either officers or
men.
Health conditions among the troops at
home and in the expeditionary forces
continue satisfactory, says the surgeon
general. Both the rates for deaths and
for new cases Of disease are excellent in
the A. E. F. Influenza continues to, be
reported in this country at ports of en-
barkation among the returning troops.
During the current week 1853 deaths in
the Army were reported, Of which
Lightweight were in the expeditionary
forces and seventy at home. In the
United States twenty-three deaths were
from tuberculosis and ten from pneu-
monia. In the A. e. F. eleven were
from pneumonia and seven from tuber-
culosis. At Vladivostok one death was
reported from smallpox and one from
accident. These were the first deaths
reported in this command in five weeks.

CONCERTS IN PARKS CUT
Withdrawal From City Of Three
Military Bands Upsets the
800 Schedule.

The schedule Of concerts in the
public parks for this season has been
almost completely upset by the
withdrawal of three Of the military
bands originally available for the
purpose. These are the Engineer
Band at Washington barracks, which
has been transferred to Camp Humph-
reys. Va. the SD Infantry Band. which
has been ordered to Madison barracks,
Fort Myer, Va, which has lost all but
eleven Of its members by demobiliza-
tion.
The United States Marine Band is
the only band now available for the
public concerts. That band plays at
the Capitol Wednesday afternoons,
at the White House grounds Satur-
day afternoons, and Col. Ridley, the
officer in charge of the concerts. has
arranged that it shall give one addi-
tional concert each week. The extra
cor. W be given in 5SWa Gssle
Circle Tuesday. June II; at Logan
Park, Anacostia, Tuesday, June "a,
and at Mcmillan Park Thursday.
All the Otnef concerts SCHeQulcQ 1OT
June have been Cancelled.
Instructions have been issued by the
War Department for the assignment
Of members of American Expedition
airy Force Headquarters Band to the
United States Engineer Band at
Washington barracks, without loss Of
grade. That action revokes previous
instructions that members of the A.
E. F. Headquarters Band be trans
ferred to the 63d Infantry Band, in
East Potomac Park. The change is
due to the fact that the SD Infantry
Band, as stated, is going to Madison
barracks, N. Y, in q few days, and the
authorities Of the War Department
desire to hold the men Of the A. E. F.
Headquarters Band in this city for
assignment to Gen. PershingS Band
in the event the latter band is re-
organized.

Would Reduce q. s. Force.

Senator Pomerene suggested that
the survey should show also the num-
her Of hours the employees work.
Senator Smoot replied that while this
was good suggestion, the commits
sion had no authority to do that work.
Since 1 made a statement that I
thought we ought to see that there
are at least one-third Of all the en-
ployes of the government discharged.
and that the other two-thirds would
do their work better without the one
third who would be discharged, I
have received hundreds of letters
from employees of the government in
which they say the statement is
without question correct, and If they
would only give US the work to do
and the letters generally come from
the older employes-we would see
that the work was done and could be
done just as well. if not better with
one-third Of the employees dis
charged"
Senator Pomemne said he had
learned of one of the bureaus or de-
partments in which additional en-
ployer were being asked for while
those there at the time did not have
enough to occupy them half the time.

Will Have Complete Survey.

Senator Pomerene of Ohio asked if
the space in these temporary build
jngs under peace conditions would not
warrant the government in surren-
dering many of it's leases.
Senator Smoot replied that within
the next few days the commission of
which he is chairman will have a
complete survey of office buildings
in the District owned by the govern
ment. 1t will show the number Of
square feet and the number of en-
ployes.
Let me call the attention Of the
Senate to the fact that there are
bureaus in the government here that
have 4s7 square feet for every en-
ploye. while all that is necessary or
all that is claimed by any one is
sixty-flve square feet" said Senator
Smoot. "One of them is the food or
fuel administration"

Two young men. who entered the
department store OF John Bogucki, at
Maryland avenue and Bird street early
yesterday morning and requested shoe
strings, proved TO be watch thieves
who stole from the store seven
watches valued at si3J. Tile theft was
not discovered until some time after
sae men had left the store, hOwev'r,
and when the police arrived on the
scne the robbers had disappeared.
The two thieves entered the store
shortly after John Boguch. Sr., had
opened for business and while he was
sitting in the rear or the place talk
ing to a friend, one Of the two men
asked for shoe strings. Mr.. Bogucki
arose and walked 20 the front OF the
store TO wait on the customer. The
companion OF the man, who was being
waited on, walked around to the Jew
elry department beside a stairway that
extends from the center OF the store
and while the storekeeper was attend
ing 10 the other mans wants, the sec
ond man is alleged TO have taken the
watches from a show case.
The friend OF the storekeeper' who
was in the rear OF the store, was pre-
vented from seeing the man taking the
watches as the stairway obstructed his
view.
shortly after the men left the store,
the theft was scOvered and a report
made to the police.

The HUNGARIAN REVOLT

The revolution began Friday.
Il was accomplished bloodless-
", the Karolyi government re-
signing and being replaced m-
mediately by a Socialist Com
munist coalition. Karolyi ex-
planned his action resulted from
three things-mwarantedc con-
fractions of Hungarian bound
aries by the peace conference,
failure Of the Allies to send food
into Hungary and use of Hun
gary by the Allies as a concen-
tration place of forces to attack
the Russian Bolsheviki.
The new Hungarian govern
ment proclaimed a Soviet re-
public, formed an Alliance with
the Russian Soviet government
and il is reported, declared war
on the Entente. This latter re-
port has not been confirmed.
