convince japan that Russia's wishes

WASHINGTON D. c., Jan. IL
Congress has finally determined to put
check on extravaganza in the war de-
partment under the management of the
new general staff organization. Spurred
by the attitude of the Democratic mem
bers of the house committee on mill
tary affairs, the Republican leaders
have fallen in line, and it has been
announced that in future no military
maneuvers such as were conducted at
Fort Riley will be authorized until the
department has submitted an estimate
of the cost and it has been approved
by congress.
Last year the war department took
funds from the general appropriation
and by the expenditure of half a mil
lion dollars caused a deficit. 1t is esti-
mated that the maneuvers outlined for
next summer would cost $1,600,00
This is regarded as outrageous by con-
gressmen, out of harmony with Ameri-
can traditions and aping old-world mil
itary powers. The house will clip the
wings of the general staff.
