washington's cfop of millionaires.
while not exactly a bumper one, is
doing nicely. and indications are, that
with a little more intensive concen-
tration number of present near-mil-
lionaires will graduate next year into
the class that counts its cash and
bonds In seven lordly figures.
The recent report of the Internal
Revenue Bureau discloses that Ill per-
cons living in this revenue district
which includes part of Maryland, have
annual incomes exceeding 100000 which
would indicate that about that num-
Der OF persons here are in the Croesus
class.
The income. however, Is not always
a good criterion of accrued wealth,
Revenue men say.
Not many of the high government
oficials possess startling wealth, al

Ali census officials declare that the

siderably less than 455.52S, the
number obtained by tie recent police

that the police counted temporary

Martinez was arrested at Miami,
Ariz-. under the espionage act in

YANKS GUST WOMEN
FROM CIVIL SERVICE

Women may be practically crowded
out Of new government Jobs by the
great number Of former service men
who are now on the registers Of the
Civil Service Commission, according to
testimony given before the Senate
Committee on Civil Service and Re-
trenchment. e..
Martin A. Morrison. president Of the
Civil Service Commission. stated that
the only chance women now have of
being appointed is through special
request for certihcation OF woman.
Veteran preference men now on the
registers number 5000. said the Com
missioner. The veterans are automati-
cally placed at the top OF the register
as they make q grade OF, 60, while other
competitors must make at least 70 to
get on the register.
Eventual deterioration Of the govern-
ment service through veteran prefer
ence was prophesied. by Commissioner
Morrision, The preference system neg
atives merit, he said while the appii,
cAnts admitted at low standard exarni-
NATION grades keep out Of the service
men and women Of high qualifications.
The only women who may receive
veteran preference are those who have
seen military service or are the wives
OF disabled soldiers and sailors who
would be entitled to preference.
Commissioner Morrison's testimony
was given In the course Of 1 hearing
on the Mclean bill, providing for the
amendment Of civil service statutes
for the purpose Of preventing discrimi-
nation against women in appointments
and promotions In the civil service.

Berlin. Feb. 1.-Gen. Won LuGen-
dorff. former chief o: star of the
German army. is today one of the
busiest men in Germany. The same
energy he gave to the problems
of war he us now giving to the
problems of peace. He realizes
the need of adjustment 20 the
present altered conditions and that
only as a united German people
and with, heroic efforts can they re-
establish themselves and bring
back prosperity.
An old friend has placed his
comfortable home at the, generals
disposal. 1t Is in one of the quiet
streets close to the Tiergartsn. He
can move about without being OBJ
served-and il is just as we'll that
he remains secluded for the pres
ent.
Seated in a comfortable leather
cushioned armchair, he replied to
questions with deliberation. when
asked:
"What Is your opinion in regard
to the tribunals which the Allies
wish to create in their own coun-
tries to try the Germans. according
TO tne treaty OF peaceE..
That question touches the honor
of the entire German nation and can
only be viewed from that stand
point. Should England, France and
Belgium remain obdurate and insis,
on dragging the Germans before
such courts. the humiliation will
leave an everlasting stain on our
national honor. What that means

to your American people to an.

do you think that the creation
of tribunal at Leipzig, as has been
now arranged, before which all Ger
mans who are accused shall be
tried, will induce the Allies to re-
frsin from demanding the delivery
tof these, they may have on their
list?'
mo, 1 do not think so. For the
sole purpose OF bringing those Ger
mans before their own courts in
their own countries Is to make the
whole world believe that Germany

LudendoyG Sees German
"Honor' Sullied By Allies
Plan to Try War Culprits

for the world war and for the meth
DDS employed during the war, and
Germany alone must, therefore. be
made to beas the consequences. In
this way the allies seek to hide their
own guilt and clothe their political
intrigues with the mantle of virtue
and crown It with the emblem of
power before the eyes of a mystified
and baffled world"
DO You think that the allies could
be induced to accept an impartial in
|ternationaI tribunal?'
That would be the proper solu-
tion. The Hague arbitration could
set up a tribunal before which all
nations, the allies as we'll as the CEN
trail powers, should have to appear.
SO that the whole truth regarding
the war and the carrying on of the
war should be made public. and the
blame placed where it really be-
longs. 1t is not Germany, but others
who would fear such a tribunal"
"As this question affects the honor
and integrity of the German people
remedy?"
Wants America to Act.
America should find this remedy
Why does not America demand that
an impartial court be set up on the
free American soil? America does not
ask that anyone be delivered. Amer
lea has always taken a different atti-
tude on this question from the en-
tente. and can, therefore. approach
the subject without prejudice, and, to
tell you frankly, the honor of the
American people is at stake for the
unfortunate peace which was forced
upon US.
I'VE relied upon America to carry
out the fourteen points. On the basis
OF those fourteen points we surren-
dered our arms. Those fourteen points
would have left our honor unsullied.
! The American people must ask them
selves what subtle influence caused
them to waver and allow such an i'm
possible peace to be forced upon US.
II hold It to be the duty of America
to now see that the very object for
which she claimed to enter the war
Is fulfilled. America is in honor bound
to secure a peace of justice and
right"

Syndicate Will Start Operations in Spring
Key Bridge Work Drags.

One Of the big problems under
discussion by citizens Of George
town is the proposed -harnessing"
of the waters Of the Upper Potomac
This question has been uppermost
in the minds of Georgetonians for
many years, but according to Keith
Stevens, an old resident, results are
now in sight.
The time has arrived. he declared
last night, when there should be a
solution of the problem Of using the
wasted waters /of the Potomac
above Georgetown and applying It's
mighty power to the advantage of
the people of the District OF Colum-
bia.
II cannot understand" declared
Mr.. Stevens, "why this natural
water-power has been permitted 10
go to waste these many years. j
can recall when / was a boy fishing
at the falls how the ld-timers, all
now dead. predicted that some time
this wonderful power OF nature
would be utilized. II the infRrma-
tion have received is true, i will
not be long before this is accom-
plished. = -...
IN fact, am informed that steps
will be taken next spring by the
progressive people of the District
in this>direction. All our utilities,

hope that whatever sum Of money
Congress may appropriate for the con-
tinuance of the work will be made

point out that plenty Of men and ma
terial may be procured at this time.
But they declare that IL the money
to be appropriated Is held up until july
l, II will be- difficult to get workmen
and material. as private activities al
over the country will be booming Al
that time.
With the limited residue from the
last appropriation, the bridge plant Is
being maintained so that operations
