WALLACE ANSWERS FOR UNCLE SAM

Hugh c. Wallace. ambassador to
France. is much in the public eye these
DAYS, inasmuch as he now represents
the United States in connection with
the activities of the supreme councll
of the allies at Paris. For instance.
il was he who informed the council
that the United States government has
refused to accept any of the indemnity
to be paid by Germany for the de-
struction of the German fleet in Scapa
Flow.
Germany, in compensation for the
Scapa Flow sinkings, is requested to
deliver to the allies certain inland
steamers, floating docks and tugs, and
the council had awarded 2 per cent
of this material to the United States.
State department officials have
not explained the American govern
ment's objection, but it was recalled
that American peace representatives
favored destruction of the German
ships on the ground that their division
among the other powers would make

things:
IN my opinion those EMPLOYEES
were most unfortunate Wheh 'heS
landed in positions in the departments
of our government. They ougm u
have entered into affairs Of everyday
life and business to battle for posi-
tons with their fellow men; Dut 'heS
came here and entered one OF the de-
partments, thinking that the govern
ment was at least q safe and sure pay
master and would be as long as they
remained. A man is not In the gov

self; he Is fearful that If he loses lAe
