Palmer to Direct Campaign
to Round Up Property
of German Foes.
A Mitchell Palmer, alien property
custodian, yesterday started a nation
wide campaign to round up all alien
enemy property that la being, secreted
in various places throughout the
country.
Instances have been reported to him
of. bankers and other financiers con
cealing hundreds of thousands of dol
lars worth of alien owned securities,
in spite of the illegality of the act
Some aliens, It is learned, even are
attempting to transfer their property
for the duration of the war, to be
turned back to the enemy owners
when peace is declared.
Mr. Palmer calls upon every loyal
citixen to come forward and give in
formation, if he possesses any, which
will stop the flow of money into en
emy territory.
"It should be borne in mind," said
SAYS POSTAL CLERKS
ARE DENIED DOLIDAY
Thomas Flaherty Criticises Depart
ment?Burleson to Reply Today.
That the Postofflce Department la
violating the law which guarantees
postofflce clerks and city carriers a
weekly day of rest and imposing ex
cessive overtime requirements upon
the clerks in the Washington office,
was the statement made to the Sen
ate Postofflce Committee yesterday by
Thomas F. Flaherty, secretary of the
National Federation of Postal Em
ployes.
"Right here in the Washington
office." said Mr. Flaherty, "distributors
are forced to work 12 hours daily.
Postmaster Chance has complained of
the large number of resignations from
the service of experienced men. Can
you blame them for resigning? Not
only must they work overtime, but
they are deprived of their weekly day
of rest in plain violation of the statu
tory law." ?
Mr. Flaherty asked the committee to
place an amendment In the postal ap
propriation bill fixing a rate of time
and a half for overtime. He argued
also for an immediate wage increase
for postofflce clerks'and city carriers
of not less than 20 per cent.
Mr. Palmtr, "that an American cltlxen
now In Germany 1* technically an en
emy,' within the meaning of the act,
but may for rood cause be declared
by the cuatodlan not an enemy.
"A Genpan cltlxen In the United

Senator Cummins Declares
Appropriation Is 200
Million Above Mark.
The government Intend* to par tbe
railroads 1200,000,000 annually more
than they need, Senator Cummin#,
of Iowa, declared to his fellow
Senators yesterday.
And this assertion led to the dis
covery that the Senate of the V'nlted
States was without a Bible.
"The first section of the railroad
bill has but one precedent In all
history," said Senator Cummins. "It
will be found in the Scriptures, and
while I'm not entirely sure as to
the quotation, it is said. To him
that hath shall be given and from
him who hath not shall be taken
even that which he seemeth to
have.'"
Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania?"If
the Senator will yield to an expert,
I will give him the accurate quo
tation. The concluding line Is, 'From
htm shall be taken away even that
which he hath.' The word 'away' Is
used, but the word 'seemeth' Is not."
Senator Cummins?"I confess I have
not recently read that verse, but
TEACHERS PRAISED
FOR DRAFT EFFORTS
District Force Giving Efficient Vol
unteer Work on Questionnaires.
District school teachers working on
classification of registrants by the
card index system as to their indus
trial qualifications are not only dis
playing a "magnificent spirit" in the'r
work, but they are doing it so efficient
ly that they are far ahead of time
already, according to their general su
pervisor. G- R. Devltt.
More than 5.000 registrants have been
classified regarding their industrial
knowledge and attainments.
Teachers have worked exactly a
week at these cardp. on each of which
there is more than twenty questions
to answer. To get answers to these
questions, teachers must pore over the
questionnaire of the registrant under
discussion.
"The best part of It te," Mr. D^vitt
said, "there have been no complaints.
There has been no more unselfish,
magnificent set of workers called to
the colors during the war than these
school teachers of Washington.
the word 'seemeth' U there. I am
afraid the Senator from Pennsylva
nia haa not since his boyhood ton
suited that Book very roach or he
would know the word was there. Will
the Secretary of the Senate produce
hla Bible and read the vantoa?"
Presiding officer (Senator Ster
ling. of South Dakota)?"The chair
will say that the Senate aeema to
be without a Bible."
"Well, no matter what the varia
tion with regard to the Bible may
he," continued Senator Cnmmlna,
"the thought la that It la the way
of the world to give to tboae who
have and to take away from thoae
who have the little. None of us can
predRt with certainty the period of
the war. But It li conservative to
suggest that the bill meana govern
