WELFARE OF THE FEDERAL j *
EMPLOYEES IN WASHINGTON *
*
Washington, D. C., Feb. 27.?The *
Federal Government is not only giv- *
ing close attention to the matter of
the proper housing of its riew appointees
in Washington, but the 1
general welfare of the employees is
now considered in greater measure 1
than ever before. Many of the '<
young people who have come to
Washington for war work are hun-i(
dreds, even thousands, of miles from
home for the first time in their
lives. They are strangers in a 1
strange land, and it is not to be
wondered at that they become homesick
and magnify the troubles that
they are bound to meet during the
period of adjustment to new conditions.
The department heads realize
that a good clerk must be a
contented one, nad many offices have 1
appointed welfare workers whose
business it is to take an unobtrusive
interest in the affairs of the employees
and to try to help them with
Voir Hiffirnlties. Experiments along
this line have had such good results
that the number of offices which em- !
ploy welfare workers is increasing.
Since the war began about 25,.000
employees have been added to i
the civil service in Washington, D.
C. The United States Civil Service
Commission, whose duty it is to re- cruit
this branch of the service, es- '
timates that this calendar year will 1
add another 20,000. Stenographers
are being appointed in great num- '
bers. There is also need for clerks,
both men and women, who are train- 1
ed in certain special or technical i
lines, ship draftsmen,, mechanical 1
draftsmen, and workmen in trades
connected "with ship-building. The 1
representatives of the civil service i
commission at the post offices in all
cities are prepared to furnish definite
information and application blanks.

Washington, Feb. 27.?The first {
diplomatic communication to the ^
United States from the "Republic of
Ireland" was in the hands of Secre- ?
tary of State Lansing today. Copies ,
of the documents were being sent to (
members of Congress.
The communication is in the form ,
Is
of a memorandum protesting against n
the inculsion of subjects of Ireland
' in the reciprocal enlistment treaties <
by which Great Britain can enlist | {
her subjects in this country. It j ]
points out that conscription has not
heen attemoted by England in her'<
self-governing colonies of South
-'.1 Africa nor in Ireland, and that it j
/f :> *
has been specifically rejected in Aus- (
tralia. Reciprocal conscription of \
Canadians, it was pointed out, was
arranged by separate agreement. It i
would be illegal to make citizens of ^
the British Empire, who were not
subject to draft at home, subject
to draft in this country, it is claim- t

nadvertently made several errors.!
Ve take pleasure in correcting j
hem. Mrs. Edwards' initials are
'C. R." instead of "C. E." She

5he was a graduate of Chicora Colege
instead of Winthrop. Mrs. B.

bank accumulations.
Two billion dollars of war-sivings
securities will be issued. If these
are all sold this year the Treasury
will receive about $1,680,000,000,

"OVER THE TOP."
The Press and Banner has secured
the right to publish "Over the
Top" as a serial. This story is one
of the greatest that has ever been
written about the war. Arthur Guy
Empey, the author, went over to
England immediately after the sinking
of the Lusitania and enlisted as
a Canadian. For a year and a half
before he fell in "No Man's Land",
he saw more real fighting than any
war correspondent who has written
about the war.
This is a real live story and is
