f is as ‘i iiM TTlat this is due moiv !**•
he uninviting <|uarteis of the ve>
•d tlie hureau and from the fact th
the appropriations for the pay of se.
men are not sufficient to provide ;
standard wage than from any die
‘••use. Another difficulty is that a.
die surveying vessels are in the fed
hut a poition of each year, this net es
i ite. that the crews l»<* laid off at ti:
^ concluding or the surveying seas; r
and that new crews Ik* obtained at th
opening of the succeeding season. T
-j h<‘tter these conditions, three remedies
are suggested:
1. I hat surveying vessels he pio
vided of a typt* sufficiently staunch
to make surveys in Alaskan waters
during the summer months and in the
exposed waters of Washington, Ore
gon and California during the winter
months.
2. That the appropriations f->»
manning the vessels of the coast and
geodetic survey be increased sa that a
standard wage can he paid the sea
men on the vessels of that service
thrmghout tlie year.
•>. That authority be granted to
enlist seamen for service in the coast
and geodetic survey for a period of
one year that will be binding upon
them during the period of enlistmen*
as are enlistments in the navy.

SPLIT I P SOME YEARS YET
LONDON, ,?an., 15— Councilor Ju
lius Moinl, probably the wealthiest
man in Austria, in discussing the
present and future of the Dual Mon
archy said: “Austria-Hungary will it
self he a future League of Nations,
and I would not he surprised to see
the organization of this League expos
ed by President Wilson.” Dr. Meirl
. expressed the fear that for some years
Austiia- Hungary will he so split up
by the “false idea of self-domination”
that all economic ties wall be broken
and each new nation will rear an econ- j
omio wall against every other nation,
which will be disasterous because ev
er\ section is dependent on every oth
er.
