Another foreign payment due
the United States fell by the
wayside today when the German

as Germany took advantage of

ments which permits her to post
pone payments, at interest rates
of 5 per cent on mixed claims
and 37s per cent on occupation
costs.

!. PAY CUT
Reduction of All Veterans
Benefits Also Urged
Upon Senate

A straight pay cut of 12-3
per cent to be superimposed
on the present 81-3 payless
furlough was recommended to-
day for Federal employees By
the Senate Economy Commit
tee.
The pay cut, one Of many
recommendation for retrenchment
contained in the committees re-
port to the Senate appropriations
Committee, would provide that
the combined effect of the two re-
ductions should not reduce the
compensation of any employe be-
low $1,000.
All Federal employees, now be-
ing given 30-day paylesS furloughs,
will get the same furlough in the
next fiscal year, but in addition
must take a cut of l 2-3 per cent
in their pay. All employees who
were given a slash of 1-3 per
: cent in lieu of furlough this year
will receive 10 per cent cut in
pay.
Far Less Drastic
The slight additional reduction
Is far less drastic than the Presi-
dents recent proposal, which ad.
yocated an additional IL per cent
reduction.
Prohibitions on promotions and
automatic, increases in compenSa-
ton are recommended for discon-
tinuance by the committee.
The report recommends con-
tinuance of the administrative
furloughs, provided that no en-
ploye under classified Civil Ser
vice. shall be furloughed for more
than 80 days during the fiscal
year of 1884, that after full and
complete compliance with all Civil
Service laws and regulations re-
1ating to dismissals from the Civil
Service.
Broader Powers Asked
Broader reorganization powers
for the President were asked by
the committee. In it's report it
was pointed out that under the
economy act any executive orders
to be made imperative by reso-
luton of either House Of Con-
gress. The committee recon-
menied that under new plan
executive orders for reorganiza-
tion should take effect within so
days, unless disapproved within
such period by concurrent reso-
luton of Congress.
Provisions for suspension of an
11ual leave are continued without
change, except in their applica-
ton to employees of the Panama
Canal and the Panama Railroad.
Retirement pay reductions would
would be increased from 1-3 per
cent to 10 per cent under the
provisions of the economy com
mittee's report.
Enlisted Men Slashed
Under the economy act enlisted
personnel of the Army, Navy, Ma
rine Corps and Coast Guard were
excluded from reductions in COM
pensation and retired pay. The
economy committee recommends
that. such reductions should be
applied to enlisted personnel of
those military forces.
Abolition of the Bureau of Eff.

committee. Under the com
mittee's plan the President would
be authorized to designate an,
other officer to serve in place of

THEATRE GIVES FINE
PERFORMANCE OF SCHNITZLER COMEDY

Arthur Schnitzler' s "Anatol >
was given an excellent performance
last night by the Experimental the
atre in the theatre on the main
street of Seeley. The second and
last performance will take place to
night.
This sparkling, gay comedy deals
with a charming wording of Vi
emma, Anatol. whose life is devoted
to pleasure and whose love affairs
constitute the plot for the play. The
subtle lines are marked by quiet
sophisticated humor rather than
boisterous comedy and afford the
author an opportunity TO deliver
several sly hits on the frailties Of
mankind.
The play is divided into seven
episodes, each complete in itself
and the Experimental theatre pre-
sented the four episodes generally
conceded to be the best.
Anatol is of course the chief
character and George Carter is
greatly to be congratulated on his
successful portrayal of this difficult
role. AS Anatol himself admits, he
may not be a wholly upright young
man, but his charm diSarms crit-
cism and endears him to his friends
and to the women who share his
love affairs. George Carter recre-
ated this delightful character, skill
fully making his audience like Ana
tol even if it did not approve. The
whole play hinges on this success
full portrayal of Anatol since he is
the play.
William Peterson also is to be
commended for his portrayal OF
Max, an even more difficult role,
for MAY is to Anatol what my
dear watson is to Sherlock
Holmes, simply an audience for An
atol s opinions on life and his stories
of his affairs. Fortunately for Max,
the author allots him much cleverer
lines than are those given Watson. !
In the women S roles, Ada Besse
Beynon was easily outstanding in
her portrayal of Iona, the one en-
otional role in the play. She gave
