NEW YORK. August 24.-Wearing
the French war cross with two palms.
Marie Gondier, a twenty one-year- old
Belgian girl, who was once con-
demned by the Germans to be shot as
a spy, arrived here from France to-
day on the steamship La Lorraine to
become an American citizen through
adoption. She was met at the pier by
Mrs. Lita Dowdy. Y. NJ. c.. A worker
of Los Angeles. who has arranged to
take care of her.
Miss Gondier was a student in a
convent at Brussels when the war
broke out. She escaped from that
city when the Germans entered and
made her way to the home of her
parents, at Ypres. A few days later
her home was taken over as a billet
for German soldiers, who Immediately
began the construction of a wireless
plant in the dwelling.
The young woman smashed the ap-
paratus during the Germans absence
and reported her act to the Belgian
troops two miles away. The appara-

Although the commission estimates
in the letter that $4,000 persons have

the bureaus of war risk insurance and
internal revenue has nearly balanced
reductions in other departments.
One of the chief reasons why the
Civil Service officials desire to combat
the impression that living conditions
are unsatisfactory in Washington Is
that within a few months it will have
TO recruit between 40e0 and 5000 en-
ployes here for the taking of the ma
tional census.

marks concerning American citizens,

This afternoon he formally opened

dresses and fluctuations. to all of
which the prince replied.
1t is estimated that at least 100000,
half of the 100000 persons in the city,
saw the prince today, and many ruses
were employed to evade the police
lines and grasp the hand of the flu
ture king.
One of the many incidents which
have helped endear the prince to the
hearts of all Canadians occurred just
at the days close. when two veterans
of the war, both suffering from shell
shock. were presented to the prince
and tainted Immediately afterward.
The prince declined to leave the
building until he had personally visit

that they were well cared for.

Demand for Stenographers.

There continues to be a demand for
steaographers. typists and bookkeep-
ers in the departmental service here
because of the steady turnover. In the
same letter in which living conditions
| here are explained The commission
cites that entrance salaries for ste
nographers are zoo a year; typists,
Sf,10G, and bookkeepers, $1,000. In adj
dition, the commission explains that
practically all government depart
ments in the District are authorized
to pay S20-a-month bonus to all
employees.
In the Introduction of the letter the
commission declares that a general
misunderstanding relative to living
conditions in Washington at this time
is undoubtedly having the effect of
deterring considerable number of
persons from entering examinations
who otherwise would apply for gov
eminent positions"

ALL MONTENEGRO
IN GRIP OF REVOLT
Serbians Fail to Put Down
Movement Despite Use of
Strong Measures.
Rr the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. August 2s.-Fighting has
broken out everywhere in Montenegro
and the whole country is in a state
of revolution, according to news re-
ceived here The Serbians are using
strong measures in an attempt to sup
press the uprising.
I'VE seem to be in for a re-
crudescence of the Balkan trouble"
was a statement made to the Associ-
ated Press today from an authori-
tative source.
The Montenegrins have cut the
railway between Virpazar and Anti
vari. on the coast.
The Serbians are receiving REIN
forcements but are, not meeting with
success in their efforts to put down
the revolutionary movement. accord
ing to the advices, which represent
the Montenegrin national spirit as
thoroughly aroused and the animosity
of the people against the Serbians in
creaSing.
Brings. Up Old Fight.
The uprising in Montenegro seems
likely to bring to a head the long
smoldering differences between the
King Nicholas and the faction ad-
herring to the plan for the incorpora-
ton of Montenegro in the Jugoslav
state King Nicholas has never recog-
nized the validity of the act of the
Montenegrin assembly last winter in
deposing him and has continued to
maintain the old royal Montenesril
government with its seat in a sub
urb of Paris.
Serbia is insistent upon the adhesion
of Montenegro to Jugoslavia and
claims that a majority of the Mon
, tenegrins favor the union. The con-
tention of the nationalist party N
Montenegro. however. is that the
| Montenegrin national assembly has
been "packed" with pro-Serbians
making the action of that body in
voting last April for adhesion to the
Jugoslav state not truly representa-
| tive of Montenegrin opinion.
Disorders broke out in Montenegro
early in July against what was char
acterized Serbian military occupa-
tion." and guerilla warfare was re-
ported to be reviving in the mountain
| regions.
