Frederick N. Zihlman. representa-
tive in Congress from the sixth Mary
land district, will serve on the next
District of Columbia committee of the
House. He was selected yesterday to
fill the vacancy created by the trans
fer of Representative Wason of New
Hampshire to the appropriations COM
mittee as successor to Representative
Mondell. c, osen for floor leader of the
next House.
The assignment given Mr.. Zihlman
on the District committee will be a
popular one with District citizens,
whose interests he has sought to pro-
mote as we'll as those of his own con-
stituents. In fact, there are said to
be more government workers in
Washington from his district than
from any other political subdivision
of state. The sixth Maryland dis
trict borders two sides of the Ma
tional Capital.
Promoter of Industry.
A resident of Cumberland, Mr. Zihl-
n.ap served in the legislature of Mary
land before coming to Congress. He
has served one term in the national
body. To his efforts largely was due
tie action of the government last year
in taking over the Chesapeake and
Ohio canal between Washington and
Cumberland and operating it on an
enlarged scale as a coal carrier. He
also brought the Cumberland and Wash
ington Chambers of Commerce together
in a movement to promote trade rela-
tions between the two cities.
OF his activities last year designed
to help both Washingtonians and his
own constituents was his introduc-
ton Of a bill for an investigation to
determine the best means of increaS-
ing the capitals water supply This
measure passed the House Unanimous
ly and received the Senates o. X.
as a rider to the District appropria-
tion bill. 1t died with the appropria-
tion measure in conference, but un-
doubtedly will become a law when
the next appropriation bill is passed.
The District Commissioners regard
this as one of the most vital pieces Of
legislation now pending in Congress.
Given Craftsmanship.
Not only will Mr.. Zihlman serve on
the District committee, but he has
been chosen for chairman of the COM
mittee on expenditures in the Post
Office Department. which promises to
be one of the most important and ac-
tive committees of the next Congress.
He also will serve on the labor COM
mittee and committee on insular af-
fairs. He represented the Maryland
congressional delegation in the COM
raittee on committees.

Judges OF the Municipal Court were
unprepared to say offhand what ef-

The opinion was expressed. how

of eviction suits will increase.
There is another case pending in
the District Court of Appeals. and
that court has already heard argu-

STATUS Of LEAGUE
SUBJECT OF DOUBT
Uncertainty Whether Society
of Nations Has Been Side
tracked to Hasten Peace.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

fropy1gbt, 1919. nv y. Y. Evening Post, Ine.l
Has the league of nations been
sidetracked for the making OF a
treaty of peace with Germany? Many
people in official quarters, both those
who want to see the league post
poned and those who believe it should
be created at once, have been in a
quandary. Paris dispatches throw
little light on the subject, chiefly be-
cause President Wilson has been alb
sent, and those who have been
urging a change in plan know very
well there can be no change until
Mr.. Wilson gives his consent.
The rea sons are plain: On January
25 the Paris peace conference adopted
a resolution unanimously that there
should be created league of nations
and that provision for it should be
incorporated in the treaty of peace.
To undo that action the plenary con-
that resolution.
What, therefore. has happened, in
all probability, is that in the absence
of President Wilson a preliminary
treaty of peace has been drawn which
incorporates mostly military and ma
val features which have hitherto been
a part of the series of armiStice agree
ments.
