man, was looking gloomily at the claim
of a group of citizens for $4,000, now
held in Congress, and which, although
admitted to be absolutely correct and
honest as well, cannot possibly be al

This particular claim was for destruc-

the War Department as a camp during
the war

in getting the claim through the Wa'
Department with a recommendation that
it be paid. But that meant nothing fol

all are help up by the claims committee

he considered it virtue TO defeat and

EARLY RETURN
OF ALIEN CASH
CONTEMPLATED
President Harding Expects to
Ask Congress for Legis-
IatiOn, 1t Is Announced.
Special to Indiana Daily Times
and Philadelphia Public Ledger,

and Philadelphia Public Ledger.
WASHINGTON, June 21.-President
Harding expects to ask Congress in the
near future for legislation providing for
the return of about S3OOGO,O0O of the
I $500, 100000 of German and Austro- Hun
garian property, seized by the Govern
ment during the war, to relieve the poor
er classes of those nations.
The Administration, it was officially
announced at the White House, is hope
full Of working out a plan whereby
amounts up to $4,000 of the $4,000 trusts
now held by the alien property custodian
may be restored to their owners.
While all owners Of sequestered alien
property would benefit under the plan.
the chief benefciariers would be the o.
600 owners, whose property is valued at
less than $1,000. Some Of the trusts are
valued as less than $780, while others are
valued at hundreds of thousands anc
millions Of dollars.
In this way, it was pointed out, no class
would be Disseminated against. At the
same time the plan would not in any way
jeOpardize the American claims against
Germany, which amount to about S415,-
600, 600, as the larger trusts would be left
in the hands of this Government until a
final settlement Is made with Germany.
1t was officially announced that Presi-
dent Harding would never countenance
policy by the Government Of cOnfiscation
of private property to satisfy the war
claims. He Is said to regard such pol
icy as repugnant and would only consider
a plan for the payment of such claims as
the Lusitania by the German government.
Thomas W. Miller, alien property
custodian, has recently held several con-
ferences on the German property question
with the president and Representative
Winslow, chairman Of the House Inter
state and Foreign commerce Committee.
No property can be returned TO citizens
Of Germany, Austria or Hungary, under
the law, until special provision is made.
At the same time that the President
asks for this special legislation, it was
said he may request congressional ap-
proval Of a mixed commission to adjust
the entire war claims questions between
America and Germany.
OF the s4OO.OO0OOO in sequestered
property about S17O.O0 600 is in cash.
The alien property custodian has about
500 600 600 of this cash invested in
Treasury certificates. The balance is be-
ing used to meet the current expenses OF
administering the huge trust fund

hours of marching. This was NJ
