WASHINGTON. Feb. 21 With hostilities at an end, the government Is

now laying the basis for one ot the

greater of the peace time tasks the

decennial inventory of the United

States, Its people, Its lands. Industry,

and livestock that Is called the census. Secretary of Commerce Redfleld the other dav slened the order that trans

ferred 'one of the largest of the. tem

porary war "buildings put up in Washington, that' formerly housed the army

department of aeronautics, to .Director

of the Census Rogers and his staff. , 'Actually, the government began the job 'some months "ago, -assembling its

plans and forces. By law. tho begin

ning of the census period of 1920 is , July 1, , 1819, though it . will not be until a year from April that the- enumerators will set at work. It Is then that every individual in America, or some one acting - for the individual, will be asked the series of questions that must be .answered. -y; l Machine Classification. There will be 29 of these questions ; in the 1920 census, according to the present "design of ' Director Rogers' f dummy cards, which now are being I given, the exhaustive study of statisticians. The more .complex ques-

i tlonaires .that go to individual estab

lishments, schools, farms, ana every , other permanent ..InBtituelon of the country are likewise in the develonment stage, undergoing critical exaralnation in the light of experience the , government has gained in conducting .thirteen inventories of this kind. ;K Chiefly the bureau Is engrged in pre- - paring for the classification and tabulation of the vast quantity of material that will be assembled. The 1S20 census tabulation will be for the first . time completely a machine operation, , . conducted by means of devices useful '.only to the census bureau, of the , " United States which have been invent- . ed and are now being built by men In its employ. Electric machines will first transfer the written information coming in on the enumerators' sheets to cards, not by writing, but by punch- ' ing holes at proper points. Then the punched cards will be handed in their , millions to another battery of ma- , chines, the tabulators, an - amazing , product of human ingenuity. E. M. . Bolteaux, who devised them, has been wlth the census for 18 years, and 13 "row superintending the construction . of 25 machines, the operation of which . he will direct.

.NAVY BRIBERY FACTS TO BE MADE PUBLIC M . : f WASHINGTON, Feb. 21. All facts " bearing on bribery cases in the third naval district at New York, with the names of men charged with giving and accepting bribes will be made ' public. Secretary Daniels ' announced 'today, as soon as there is no danger .of closing up sources of information to the investigators. There were no reports to the department over night over new 'arrests or developments. Mr. Daniels said he not only would ;make public the names of men involved, but was determined that those found guilty should be adequately ' punished. Lieut. Benjamin Davis of Plymouth, Pa., attached to the medical corps, and Ensign Paul Beck of New York, both of the naval reserve force, are under arrest in New York Approval of the three year sentence imposed by courtmartlal on Davis is being held up here pending further investigation and possible trial of the . officer on additional charges. "That Is not enough for such a "crime," the secretary said, referring to sentence in the Davis case, "if additional charges against this man, should be proved." ;

No Boches' Roles For These Actors

, (By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21. Ten of the hundred "beet stories of heroism in

the war, as cabled by General Pershing for use In the victory liberty loan campaign, were chosen for reproduction as scenarios, with soldiers from Camp. Dix, N. J., playing roles of thoverseas heroes. The soldiers were willing movie actors, even clamoring for parts. r. Then along came a picture requiring use of German soldiers. There the Americans balked. They, said they would play anything but "boches." Officers refused to order the men to don enemy uniforms. ' . So today, Frank R. Wilson, director ot liberty loan publicity, cleared away the predicament by hiring a 'score of professional actors from New York to play the roles of German "villains."

RESPECT FOR ALL CHEVRONS URGED

' The following, editorial was written by Eugene B. Bowman in the United States General Hospital Number-1 in New York city, and appeared in The Hospital Review: It would be, as a soldier who missed his chance to go abroad suggests, a good idea if President Wilson, the secretary, of war a6d the secretary of the navy would wear on their coat sleeves the silver chevron indicating the man that did not cross the ocean to' fight. The man who did cross and did his full duty is entitled to honor and gratitude. The man who was ready to go, willing, anxious, to fight for his country, but who could go only if the order came, and who was not sent abroad, is also entitled to honor and respect. It is . hot his fault or wish that kept him from fighting, but the decision of his superiors. An unpleasant incident happened in one of the larger cities recently when a man ill advised, spoke of the silver chevron on a soldier's coat as "the white feather." He was promptly knocked flat on his back by the wearer of the sliver chevron, who turned out to be the better man. There should be no display ot such feeling, and the public should realize that the gold chevron and the silver chevron are alike worn by men who obeyed the countrys order, went abroad if they were told to go, stayed here if they were kept here. The man who went abroad was Bent

abroad. The man who stayed at home was kept at home. Both were willing to go and wanted to go. What makes

the young men so bitterly discontent

ed in camp now is the knowledge that their chance to fight for their country has gone by. . . .

A few more such cases as the above

and there will come an order prohibiting the wearing of all service chev

rons.

WOULD PREVENT PRESIDENT FROM DISCUSSING LEAGUE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21. A resolution designed to prevent President President Wilson from discussing publicly the proposed league of nations until he has communicated details of the plan to the senate foreign relations committee was introduced, today by Senator Sherman of Illinois, Republican. Consideration of the resolution went over under the rule. The resolution declares that to discuss the plans and the proposed constitution before submitting the details to the senate would be "unwise, undiplomatic, and calculated to promote

discord" between the government s two treaty making powers, and press upon the president to "reserve an unbiased and impartial mind" until he has discussed the matter with the : senate.

England Is Favored as Guardian for Palestine (By Associated Presal MILWAUKEE.' Wis., Feb. 21. England is favored as guardian" over Palestine, according to Samuel Hlrehberg and Charles S. Levy, well known rabbis of Milwaukee. Commenting on the report brought back from Paris by Rabbi Stephen S. Wise that before the peace conference adjourns it

will give to Great Britain a mandate of trusteeship over Palestine on behalf of the Jews of the world, Rabbi Hirshberg said: - "I am not a Zionist and do not favor the re-nationalization of the Jews. No people are better fit to exercise sovereignty over Palestine to better advantage for the Jews than the people of England, unless it be those of our own America. "It there are Jews who wish to return to Palestine, I would rejoice to have them do so under the- guardianship of England or America. There are no other peoples on God's footstool who have treated the Jews with greater fairness." "Zionist , or non-Zionist, I believe Jews all over the world are agreed that Palestine should be under international protection, probably under the direct supervision of England," said Rabbi Levy. . v "A Jewish State is out of the question because of the great minority of the Jews in ancient Palestine. I think Jews of the world are agreed upon, this, both those who desire a Jewish commonwealth in Palestine under a protectorate as a step towards renationalization, and those who simply look to the protection of the Jewish people still remaining in the ' old home."
