With little opposition a favorable
report was ordered TO-DAY by the
Senate appropriations committee on
the House bill to appropriate the $780,

brief debate and little opposition.
The only amendments in the House

SALARY REVISION SEEN
IN MOVE IN HOUSE

Encouragement that the entire
schedule of salaries for government
employees in the District will be re-
vised by 4 joint congressional COM
mittee was given in the House to-
day by Representative Byrns of Ten
nessee. in charge of the Legislative, ex-
ecutive and judicial appropriation bill
Chairman Byrns emphasized the
plans for revising the federal pay roll
and Representative. Austin of Tonnes
see republican. offered an amendment
to increase the salary of the superiu
tendent of the Botanic Gardens from
s2,25o to $3.50
the present superintendent is unusu-
ally well qualified for the position and
could readily get a much larger sal
airy in private employment. In answer
to the suggestion by Chairman Byrns
that the superintendent is allowed the
use of the house in the garden, Rep
resentative Austin said he should be
paid to live in that house. because it
is unhealthy. and that the increase in
salary previously given him was not
sufficient to pay the doctors bills, be-
cause the superintendent family has
been sick almost constantly while
occupying that house.
The amendment for an increase was
rejected on a point of order by Chair
man Byrns.

Wants Americans to Help.

Concerning Intervention east of the
Trials, l would welcome detachments
of Americans. English and French
troops, not for fighting. necessarily,
but for the moral effect they would
produce on the Russian army. Com
munlcation with Russia is difficult and
enemy propagandists are active. If
the troops with their own eyes saw
America and the allies backing them
IN their cause, the fight against ter
rorlsm would be certainly won.
This would not be Intervention
into Russian affairs. 1t would help
win the salvation of the nation. Ny
present army of 100000 men is suf-
hcient to conquer the holshevists if
clothed and supplied with munitions.
But any allied military or eco
nomic help depends entirely on the
maintenance of railroads which are
disintegrating. The transportation
problem is dominant and must be
solved first. ! favor an allied COM
mission to take charge of the situa-
ton. 1t is imperative that the Trans
siberian railway be saved. and Ameri-
can management might logically en-
tail qua rds for the railroad"
Semenoff, Local Leader.
Discussing Gen. Semenoff, he de-
a local leader who was unimportant,
but added that the powers had inter
vened and that therefore. the con-
troversy now is an international
question. He said that postponement
of a settlement is embarrassing and
added that if Semenoff would leave
the line of the Transsiberian railroad
he could do anything he liked.
In closing the interview. Admiral
Kolchak voiced gratitude for the as
sistance America had given to Russia,
and said that he prayed for it's con-
tinuance.
