FouLKE RAPS PETITION.
"Bald, Shameless Appeal for Re-
turn to Spoils System" He Says.

William Dudley Foulke, acting
president of the National Civil Serv-
ice Reform League, yesterday issued
a statement attacking the petition
circulated in Congress for removal
of democrats in the Treasury as "a
bald, naked appeal for return to
the spoils system"
The demand said to be made upon
the President" said Mr.. Foulke, by
certain republican congressman for
the removal of oyer 100 officers and
employees (nearly all in the classified
servlce) for the mere reason that
they are democrats is the most
shameless reputation of the plat
form of the republican party and
of the promises OF the executive that
has ever come to my notice.
More than this. II is asking the
President to violate the law which
a republican Congress itself passed
in 1912 requiring reason to be given
to the men removed, and to violate
the principle universally acknowi-
edged for the classified service that
men should not be removed on ac-
count of their religious Of political
SIT is a bald. naked appeal for
q return to the spoHs system in
augurated by Andrew jackson which
led to the utter iebauchery of the
service for more than half a CEN
tury."

THE HAGUE, June 17.-The pres
sure of the smaller European coun-
tries, especially those adjacent to
and having vital political and COM
mercial interests in Russia, yesterday
forced the conference to form sub
commissions of thirteen instead of
eleven members. as had been planned.
This is Interpreted by all the dele
gates as indicating not only a deter
mination not to be shut out OF the
important discussions by the greater
powers. but as manifestinE eaeern
about the future Of the disorganiz.i
Russian state. The pressure surprised
everybody by its force.
Foreign Minister Van Karnebeek of
Holland was intrusted by the confer
ence with the task OF naming the
members OF the three subcommissions.
and the personnel will be announced
Monday afternoon, to which time the
session was adjourned. Van Karne-
beck already has begun negotiations
with the smaller powers. especially
the Baltic states, in an EFFORT to sat
isfy all nations in the formation Of
the committees Of the conference.
All to Join Commission.
Virtually all the twenty-nine coun-
tries now represented at The Hague
have signiefi their intertion to Join
the main Russian commission. France
has reserved her decision regarding
participation until after the meeting
in London between NJ. Poincare. the
French premier. and David Lloyd
George, the British prime minister.
The feature OF the session was an
address by the second British dele
gate. Edward Hilton Young. whose
gallant action in the British naval
operation In closing ZeebruSge
against German submarines brought
him fame and honor. Every delegate
gave a rousing welcome to the young
officer, whose heroisn cost him an arm

suggest the formation by the Rus.
sians of subcommittee. which could
meet the European commissions and
