been warned to be on the watch for
classification of birth records. Here Is
the way 1t works out: A person en-
tering the. Government service may
give his age as IS years when In
reality he is 40 years of age.
When he reaches the age of retire

than he Is entitled to under the law

while those who have sailed under
true colors may be retired and receive
retirement pay only.
Gives Under Legal Age.
In addition, many high school girls
under the legal age Of Is years stretch
their ages a year or two so they may
take civil service examination for the
Government employ. 1t does not at
feet any employee with 80 years ac'
tive service, because he is eligible for
retirement at that time anyway. Some
cases uncovered in the Government
service have been proven to be ma

With the increase in anauitieS re-

the large number of employees retired

clerks have renewed again their care

F'alsificatiOns Disclosed.
Many cases of falsification--de-

others--have been revealed in the
Government service here, and several
employees have been dropped from
the service when the birth entry has
been found TO have been intentionally

last year.
Not Likely to Happen.
That is not likely to happen. 1t is
almost certain, as far as one can be
certain of anything in international
affairs when SO many racial passions
and national ambitions are at stake
that Germany will take her place with
honor and dignity on the appointed
date. But there have been certain
shocks which have not yet subsidized.
Spain. with Italy whispering in her
ear, has delivered an ultimatum
which amounts to saying, Give me
control of Tangier or l will quit the
League of Nations" But even Spain
has not gone as far as saying Give
me Tangier or will veto Germany"
1t Is certain now that this Spanish
demand will be examined later as
quite a separate problem. and in my
judgement Spanish and Italian hopes
in Morocco will not be fulfilled. be-
cause neither England nor France
will weaken their naval position in
the Mediterranean to please S1gnof
Mussolini and his brother dictator in
SPAIN. That question is very difficult
and delicate and may lead to great
trouble in the future, but not immedi-
ately in Geneva. Far more trouble

That is being grappled with this

formula which seems to solve every :

Viscount Cecil and those other
international jurists are searching
for a formula with the diligence OF

which will give non permanent

Plan Held Impracticable.
NJ. F'romageot became so involved
In his explanations. so tangled up IN
his own complications, that his argu-
ment dissolved in laughter when LORD
Cecil and the italian delegate pointed
out their practical impossibility. To-
night some new method will be pro-
posed. but the world will not tremble
with excitement when it hears the
Attest formula.
All that is uniinportant compared
with Germany's unhindered entry.
For when Germany comes in 1t will
not be as passive member, listening
silently while other powers exchange
world affairs. Germany will play
strong hand in all future councils or
the world powers. Quietly but per-
sistently. as German politicians here
in Geneva frankly avow. she will press
her claims for. practical revision OF
outstanding problems such as the
Polish corridor to Danzig, Polish con-
troll Of Silesian mines. French control
Of the Saar Valley, which are open
wounds in German pride and causes
of future wars.
The League of Nations will be kept
busy in considering questions of that
kind during the next few years, and
although they are highly inflammablc
subjects, it is possible that by bring
ing them openly before the world
opinion as it is represented and
formed by the spirit of the League of
Nations they will be less dangerous
and more easily settled according to
rules of justice and common sense
