Bank Bldg., By BDWAXD E. BRITTON r (By Special Leased Wire) Washington, March. 8. 'Locking the stable door after th horse is stolen," is' the view taken here by veterans cf th World War and of vvil Service advocate with regard to th extended Civil Servire prcfer enp "rtgulntions ' which President Harding authorised on the eve of hi departure for Florida, where he goes to be entertained by . B. McLean, owner and editor of the Washing ton Post,' the paper that is the mouth piece knd echo of the .Hard ing administration. Another char acterization of the directions given the Civil Service Commission was that it is "much ado about nothing," that' in reality ths plan announced bad nothing new about them. ,, Came Too Late The criticism of tbe alleged '"sillen did" action of. the President in di roc ting that a margin ef (re point ia examinations be allowed and that when reductions in force are or dered employe with military rec ord are to be dismissed lrfst is oa one count that the directions Ire belated, that the greartullr "of all places are now filled and that forces ere being decreased straight along, and not increased, and that uader the Wilson administration there was the same Ave points preference al lowed and tbe sams action directed i in caring for employes with mili tary records when dismissal were effected. And as to age limit be Ing abolished it wa pointed oat that the net bulk of the men and women who .served ia theirmy or the navy were within th sgs limit and seeded a removal of age limita tions, it being ngrced, however, that this might bo of some value In the future, but that thi would com after th terra of office of Presi dent Harding bad expired. One new point in the preference rating on examination f&r Civil Service position that plcasec a to tnese ratings is that tea pointe ex tra btHre4;l've point are allow ed vote rate who suffered oenous diaajbilities, another point la thi class being that time spent in mili tary service is to be credited in rating experience, aad another that veteran are to be appointed for departmental .work in Washington without regard to the apportionment of appointment to tbe various states, though .this is questionable, for the apportionment of employes to the states is a regulation that is more honored in the breach ths ia the observance. . Entirely All Bunk - ln!l We new directions of Ptes? ident' Harding look well and read well to- th unsophisticated it is pointed out that the preference rating of five aad tea per cent to veteran of th World War will in reality amount to merely aeblt of bunk If the applications mad in th appointment- of postmasters is to be a criterion.

Aad ia addition, it ia poiated out by Civil Service m ploye that h showed bo spirit of willingness to do th square thing by th 28 Cavil Service wen and women of th Bureau of Engraving and Printing' when there was elea cut testimony produced that these empioyeafead floss nothing to war' rant their' dismissal, much leu treat- meat that leaves upon them th stig ma of th manner of their diaruarg wlikk was aa if the? were common thieve.
