 It is possible that a small detach- ment of American troops will be left behind for the moral effect despite the fact that the Americans are under orders to withdraw completely
 All of the Americans were to have been out of the Rhineland by the end of this week. The French already have made arrangements to take over the territory evacuated by the dough- boys.
 The orders to the Americans to re- tire has heightened the political ten sion over the demands of the United ment of S241,000,00O German indeu- nifty for the upkeep of the American army of occupation.

be concerned for your American girls If thought they would stick to this what you call it?-this, oh. yes, this jazz dance. That really would make them ungainly. What a dance-"
 Madame" ventured the visitor, "have you ever tried it?''
 PayIowa paused Finally after pass ing the grapes, she Said:
 SYeS. Once. Just once."
 FWhy?" she resumed quickly. why must your graceful American girls dance it. It is so horid, so vile, so inartistic."
 How much better would be proper ball room dancing Dancing should bring out the motion of the soul character, the best in one. In Russia, the teaching of dancing is regarded as important as that of reading and writing. It should be so in America You have not, if I may say it, the right kind of dancing teachers. Why are they?
 .rf your girls were taught clean artistic dancing when they were very young they never would accept Jazz. But why worry over Jazz2 It is ou-y a fad It will go When I was here before 1t was the Bunny Hug It will be Something different next time

Number Of Clerks May
 Be Reduced
Charity Commissioners Vote To Pay In Cash Rather Than In Orders To Unemployed, Aid ed By Department.

Reductions in the clerical staff of the Department of Charities are prom ised by the action of the Board of Charity Commissioners in their meet ing at the Welfare building yesterday afternoon, in voting to pay the unem- ployed men given work by the city In cash rather than in orders.
 While the department, for reasons of its own, favors the payment in or der, it was decided to give the cash payment because this more readily handled and would mean a consider able reduction of the clerical work and consequently make a way for a reduction in the clerical staff.
 The principal business of the meet ing was the discussion of the unem- ployment situation and the voting to make the pay of the men taken on after April first 25 cents an hour and the number of hours per alternate week, 50, as previously announced This will apply only to married men with families, making a total income of S12.50 every other week. Married men will not be given work where another of his family or two other members are earning the equivalent of that sum per week. Where some other member of his family Is earning a smaller amount he will De given work enough to make up the S12.5O-
 Ex-service men without families will be given same amount of work as in the past, two days a week and other single men will receive board and lodging for which they will be required to work every day. Teams will receive $6 a day, as at present and trucks, SIS a day.

Collector Drew
 After The Cash

Having received the sanction of Mayor Atwater, Tax Collector Edward Drew will start immediately on cam paign to collect back taxes which are owed the city. The amount of unpaid taxes for last year alone amounts to over $S00,000, and the collector is bound to get some of this cash through legal means which are at his disposal.
 During the meeting of the Finance Advisory board yesterday. afternoon, several plans for collecting back taxes were suggested, among them being that banks increase mortgages enough to cover unpaid tax bills. This sug- gestion did not meet with enthusiasts tic approval however, and it is prob able that the collector will have to re- ly upon his own resources to secure the bills.
