400 SUPERVISORS FOR
THE DECENN|AL CENSUS

Washington, Mar. 1.-THE act
providing for the fourteenth and
subsequent decennial censuses was
signed by the president on March 8.
The enumeration, which will be
made in January, 1920, is now less
than ten months distant; and the
census bureau already has under
consideration the selection and ap-
pointment OF not to exceed 400 su-
pervisors who will have charge of
the 10000 enumerators. The super
visors' districts will, in most cases,
except in the large cities, have the
same boundaries as the congression-
al districts. The supervisors, under
the law, are to be appointed by the
secretary OF commerce upon the re-
commendation of the director of the
census. 80
The following instructions have
been given by the secretary OF com
merce to the director OF the census
in regard to the procedure to be fol-
lowed in making selections and ap-
pointments Of census supervisors:
Conforming to the assurances
given the president in my letter to
him OF March 3rd. you will please
be guided by the following instruc-
tions respecting appointments to the
post OF supervisor in connection with
the taking Of the 18th census of
the United States:
"A test examination, of which a
record will be kept, is to be required
for appointment to the post of su-
pervisor, In addition to this, a care
full personal inquiry is to be separ-
ately made respecting the qualifica-
tions of each candidates. OF this in
quiry, also, a record will be kept"
The supervisors duties will oecu-
py their time for the greater part of
year, beginning about July. 1. 1919.
Their compensation will be $1,000,
plus 81 for each thousand or major
fraction of thousand of population
enumerated. The total compensation
in an average-sized district, outside a
large city, will therefore be between
s1,700 and $500. Clerk hire and
other necessary expenses will be
paid by the government.
All candidates for supervisorships
should address their applications to

LOW PRICES MAY CLOSE
DOWN MEXICAN MINES

Mexico City, Mar. 17.-Fearing
that the mining crises now threaten
Ing Mexico will result in the closing
of mines in various parts of tho
country, and idleness for thousands
of miners, representatives for pre-
sCntatives OF tbs trade will meet
soon In Mexico City to consider
remedies for presentation to the
government. The great decrease,
since the ending Of the war. of the
price obtained for metals mined in
Mexico. has, 1t is claimed, made 1t
impossible for many companies in
Mexico to operate at profit and
there is imminent danger that the
workings will be closed until metal
prices rise.

COMMISSION SAYS WAR RECoG-
NIZED AS LEGAL METHOD OF
SETTLING DISPUTES
MERELY ACTED AS SOVEREIGN
Suggest an international Tribunal
for Trial OF Criminals Regardless
of Their Rank

Paris, Mar. 1.-THE preliminary
report of the commission on respon-
sibilities show that an important
question has developed respecting
the personal legal responsibility OF
the ex-kaiser from the point of view
Of the British and American law,
says Jas. NJ Twohy in the New York
World. Both maintain that the ex-
kaiser cannot be made penalty re-
sponsible for acts done In his capa-
city as a sovereign, such as provok-
ing the war or violating Belgium,
for in effect, as already stated in
these dispatches, was is recognized
as a legal method for settling differ
ences.
To bring the former kaiser to jus
tice it will be necessary to quote
some criminal act, such as inciting
to the murder OF prisoners or, for
instance, II he decorated the captain
who sank the Lusitania, that would
make him in British law an access
sorry to the murder after the fact.
The commission proposed also to
set up an international tribunal for
the trial of criminals without regard
to their rank.
The French make 1t no secret
their position is that to punish the
former kaiser is matter OF senti-
ment with them, with the 1,400, 900
dead. and that legal niceties should
not stand in the way. The question
also arises whether the procedure
proposed would be in accord with
the American constitution as involv-
ing retroactive legislation. The
whole matter goes to the council Of
ten for decision.
