EARLY WAR CLAIM PAYMIENTS URGED ; ,ldlustment Bul Reported to House Provides for Im- mediate Action. The alien property adjustment bill, reported to the House Monday, pro- vides for immediate payment of American claims for deaths and per- sonal injuries growing out of the war with Germany, and also for pay- ment out of the Treasury for seized German ships, racio stations and pat- ents. Approximately $180,000,000, ing interest to January 1, awarded American citizens, and about $60.000,000 more will go to the Gov- ernment, Chairman Green of the ways and means committee, which drew up the bill, said it was esti- mated. “The bill makes no provision for re- turn of Austrian and Hungarian prop- erty. adjost clatms of Americans against those government has not begun to function. Payment in full will be made on American claims of $100,000 or less. On claims above that amount an initial §100,000 will be paid and these claims given priority for future pay- ments from Germany until an amount equal to 80 per cent of all awards has been distributed to American nationals. An arbiter, to be appointed by the President, would determine the value of seized shfps, radio stations and patents. The value, however, cannot be in excess of $100,000,000, which would be appropriated out of the Treasury. The Allen Property Custodian, now holds approximately $250,000,000 worth of property of German citizens, which 1s being held as security for the pay- ment of claims®of Americans. This is provided for under the peace reso- lution and the treaty of Berlin, conse- quently Congress is under a duty not 10 return the property until adequate rovisions for American nationals ave been made. ST. ELIZABETH'S REPORT includ- will be SUBMITTED TO HOUSE| Shows District Contributed Half of Upkeep Cost of In- stitution. The financial report of St. Eliza- beth's Hospital, as submitted by Dr. ‘William A. White, superintendent, was transmitted to the House yester- day by Secretary Work. The report shows that the District of Columbia, through its per diem per capita payments on indigent in- sane, contributes more than half of the entire cost of upkeep of the big plant. Last year the payments from District funds and from the estates of those claiming residence here amounted to $1,546,699. The total cost for board at the institution was $2,831,774. The appropriation by Congress for this purpose was $910,000, and an un- expended balance of $128,013 was shown. Funds received from other Government establishments for the board of patients included: Public Health, $41,390; Soldiers’ Home, $7,100, Veterans’ Bureau, which has since removed practically all of its patients, $462,536. The amount received from other patients was $28,788. ClDEl‘!—-—APPLES—CHFAP from the orchard 3107 W. Since 1898 | SEE ETZ and SEE RETTER EDWIN . E1s OPTOMETRIST 1217 G ST.N.W.

Chesterton leens South Seas to Quartier Latin. LONDON, December 15 (®).—Gil- bert K. Chesterton, the author, thinks the South Seas have become a sort of Quartier Latin since Gauguin in: vaded the peace of the savages. Discussing the “Savage in Art” the Kensington Art Center, he said he believed “the fine frivolity and the splendid levity of the savages has hoaxed the missionaries and the learned professors who went to inter- view them.” The inventor of “Father Brown' suggested that the walls of the Do- minion Pavilions at Wembley should have been covered with frescoes of the savage mythologles, such as the story of the New Zealand Hiawatha, who fished New Zeiland out of the sea with a hook and chased the sun across the sky until he caught it. at THE EVENING $ mulations and bility.
