Gen. Wrangers followers Funds were
stopped yesterday and other relief
will end on or about February l, it
was learned. The announcement came
in the form of a letter from Premier

We turned over one of our largest
hospitals to feed. house and care for
Russian children only. while our
bakeries-one bakery alone sending
10000 loaves to the refugees aboard
ships-supplied the bread for all the
refugees. Conditions among the Ar

SO appalling that relief appropria-
tions now made. already exceed pres
ent funds. We can only trust to the
generosity of the American people in
this emergency and aim to do the
utmost that the contributions we re-

WILL DISCUSS CHANGES
IN RECLASSIFYlNG LAW
Joint Conference to Consider Lehl-
bach Amendments-Ma Offer
improvements.

Various amendments TO the retirement
law which Representative Lehlbach OF
New jersey proposes to introduce in
Congress to improve the measure will
be- considered at meeting Of the Joint
conference on retirement Friday night
at 1923 New York avenue.
Chief among the proposed amendments
is one to change the provisions of the
law which now make it necessary that
when an employe has reached retirement
age, but has not had fifteen years serv-
ice. he must be dependent upon an ex-
ecutive's certiflcation of efficiency to be
able to serve until he can be retired.
1t is alleged that executives in the de-
partments, in some cases. have failed
to give these certificates Of efficiency.
although the employees claim that they
are perfectly efficient and able to do the
work satisfactorily.
Increase in the annuity now granted
superannuates is desired, as is also the
inclusion Of unclassified workers in the
benefits Of the retirement provisions
along with the classified civil service
workers.
