married In 1908 to Prof. Herman V. Hil-
precht. a subject Of the former German
Emperor, and who had never taken out
naturalization papers.
Prof. Hilprecht came TO Philadelphia
in 1886 from Germany. and in the same
year became a professor at the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania. He was curator
of the Babylonian section OF the uni
versity museum and professor of Assyri-
ology until 1910. Prof. Hilprecht had
two sons by a previous marriage. One
died and the other is resident OF the
United States and has several children.
In 1914 Prof. Hilprecht and his wife
were in Munich when the war broke
out in August, and his wife, under
American laws. having the same citi-
zenship Of her husband, could not leave
Germany. She was formally adjudged
a German subject and they remained in
Germany during the war. When the
United States entered the war against
the Central Powers Mrs. Hilprecht fed
TO Holland. Thence she went to Switzer-
land where she has since resided. Mrs
Hiprecht suffered from physical in
firmities and has not been able to pro-
cure passport to the United states
Her property here was valued at half
million dollars. The Alien Property
Custodian. then Mr.. Palmer seized II.
and It is still being held on the ground
that she is German subject and hence
forbidden by the trading with the enemy
act from holding title TO that property.
Although Mrs. Hilprecht was left
large income under trust created for
her sole and separate use by her father
here she cannot enjoy the proceeds of
the trust. and the funds are accumu-
latiug in the Alien Property Custodlans
hands. Mrs. HilpHecht is penniless in
Switzerland and is dependent upon the
generosity and kindness of her friends.
1t was just such case that caused
Congress TO take up the question or
amending the trading with the enemy
act after March 4.

While It is known that snug fortune
of at least $500. 100000 reposes in the
Golfers OF the United States Treasury
to the credit of alleged enemies of the
United States Francis p. Garvan, Alien
Property Custodian. announced yester-
day that about 20 per cent. of the prop
erty confiscated has been returned to
the owners directly upon the authorize
tion of Congress. More than 47.OOO
trusts are being handled by his office
at the present time. and these trusts
represent property seized which, with in
terest. amount to staggering total. In
the work OF his office Mr.. Garvan has
directed the return to the former own
ers OF property estimated at S114,00O,-
600. In many cases the identical prop
erty itself was returned, but In many
other instances, where such course
would be manifestly impossible. the pro-
ceeds from the sale of the particular
property In question, have been turned
over to those lawfully entitled to re-
ceive the funds
Just how far Mr.. Garvan can proceed
in the matter Of restoring these claims
for funds and property must be regu-
lated by the incoming Republican Con-
gress. whose tendency it has been stated
on good authority. will be to turn back

Possible Legislation.

The Republican Congress may even
take a reckless disposition to legislate
Mr.. Garvan out Of a job by ordering the
immediate return of funds and property
after March 4. according to shrewd OBJ
servers. If the funds were all returned
as soon as authenticated claims were
presented there would be- little left for
Mr. Garvan to do but to perform the
ministerial duties incident to such a
task. 1t would no longer involve his
discretionary power to decide a claim.
the payment being made upon proof of
its just equity and the right of the
owners to become possessed of 1t again.
In hundreds of cases. however. the
original foreign property owners have
died and the Government must see to II
that their heirs and proper personal rep
resentatives are refunded what Is due
them.
Representative Pope Caldwell of New
York Is the author of a bill recently IN
troduced in the House which would re-
store every cent Of the confiscated funds
without any further delay. 1t would
have the virtual effect of wiping out
the office of the Alien Property Custo-
dian and placing I'm the hands Of
bureau the task Of sending out checks
in response to claims approved by a
competent trust officer familiar with
the details of the individual claim for
money.
Congress has TO date provided that
the following classes of persons are
eligible to put in claims for confiscated
property:
\First-Citizens of the United States
and the neutral Powers. (This class
