stationed in Washington, will leave

much to the regret but with the best
wishes of the latter. Capt. Nickerson
enjoys the well deserved reputation
on Capitol Fill OF being one Of the best
topnotch private secretaries and con-
fidential men in that line of business.
The reason for his resignation is that
he has accepted a responsible and
more lucrative position with large
financial concern at Wheeling, one
whose opportunities and prospects are
considerably better than position
which is affected by the vagaries and
vicissitudes of partisan politics. The
many friends here of Capt. and Mrs.
Nickerson sincerely regret seeing
them leave the Capital, but as sincere
" congratulate them over their
brighter prospects for a prosperous
future. A. M. Rowe, OF Fairmont, will
succeed Capt. Nickerson as Major

Remnants of Old German
Army at Low Ebb of Morale

CoblenZ, April 21.-Information
from unoccupied German territory
reaching American intelligence off,
GERS of the Army of Occupation is
to the effect that the morale of old
German regiments now in their de-
pots in various parts of Germany is
exceedingly low. Almost every
newspaper from the smaller towns
on the other side of the bridgehead
where troops are garrisoned report
one or more cases of robbery of the
battalion funds and theft of army
horses or other evidences of dis
honesty Reports indicate that the
thefts are by soldiers themselves due
to the low morale among the troops.
Several cases of stealing by tenn
porary commissioned officers have
also been reported.
At a recent meeting of the SOL
dier's Council of the Fourth German
corps at Magdeburg it was charged
that a corps fund of $4,000 marks,
originally paid in commissions from
civilians to whom the corps farmed
out Belgian civilians, had decreased
to $4,000 marks and that the diff
ference had gone to staff officers,
under guise of reimbursement for
expenses.

MORE SALOONS
ACROSS BORDER
Bar and Fixtures From Ell
Paso Are Set Up in
JuareZ

El Paso, Texas, April 21.-Juarez,
the Mexican metropolis of border
towns, has become the oasis in the
great American prohibition desert.
On Gale Commercio. the number
of saloons has increased since the
operation of the Texas ten-mile zone
law until every other door opens
into a barroom. Barrels of Ameri-
can made whiskey and wine are Of
fered to persons permitted to cross
the border under prevailing pass
port regulations.
Many of the old time Eel Paso sa-
loon Keepers who were familiar fig
ures at famous and notorious places
here have donned white aprons in
Juarez. Bars and fixtures from ltl
Paso have been set up in Juarez.
slot machines have been installed
and, except for the preponderance
of Mexican idlers, a visitor would
think he is in an El Paso bar of
former years.
Bootlegging, the hand maiden of
the border saloon, is becoming an
important industry. American au-
thorities have discovered that MeNi-
can servants. wash women and
street laborers who cross to FL Paso
each morning carry contraband
liquor in quantities and are making
far more money through it's disposal
than they are from their labors.
The prosperous Mexican saloon
keepers say that a return to normal
passport regulations will make
.Juarez the mecca of sporting men
from the United States.

NO EXTRA SESSION
CALLUNTIL JUNE1
Administration Leader Says
President Has Not Changed
His Plans Since Here

Washington, April 21.-That Pres
ident Wilson will adhere to his orig
inal plan and not call the new Con-
gress in special session until about
June 1 was the belief expressed by
administration leaders at the Cap
itol.
Senator Martin, of Virginia, Dem
ocratic leader of the last Senate, said
yesterday.
Before the President left here for
Paris the last time he told me posi-
lively under no circumstances would
he call an extra session of the new
when he said he expected to return
to the United States. If he is forced
to remain in Paris he may wait until
after that date to call Congress into
session. or he may issue the call
from Paris, but L do not for a mo-
ment expect that he will ask Con-
gress to meet before June L."
Republicans Abandon Hope
The Republican leaders feel the
President would advise Senator Mar
tin and other Democratic leaders of
any change in his plans and have
abandoned hope of getting down to
work before June /.
The Republicans wanted to have
the special session called by May Is
at the latest, so they could have time
to redraft the appropriation bills
which failed of passage in the last
Congress, and have them passed be-
fore the new fiscal year.
With Congress convening during
the first week in June, only four
weeks would be given the appropria-
ton committee of the new Congress
in which to whip the bills through.
The Republicans will probably pro-
vide resolutions continuing the ap-
preparations for the present fiscal
year. That would give them time.
