portrayal is thoughtful. intellectual. and
emotionaIly filled with that power of
pathos which brings an ache to the
throat and a tear to the eye.
Supporting her in the part of Capt.
Deering is the excellent acting Of Charles

Added to these. the main factors in the

Americans Ordered Out.

Paris, Sept. s.-Sudden panic seized
Paris today and many persons who had
announced their intention of remaining
here fed. This feeling OF panic was in
creased when Myron T. Herrick. the
United States Ambassador orderd all
Americans TO leave the city at once, no
matter whether they are residents or
merely visitors.
The exodus to the south, which has
been steady since the German invaders
began to advance upon the capital, grew
in volume today. So great is the mass
Of fugitives along the road that traffic
has to move at a snaiI's pace. In the
mighty jam were persons Of evry rank
and vehicles of every description from
luxuriously upholstered limousines II
donkey carts.
Many fine automobiles are being aban-
doned along the roadside because Of the
scarcity Of fuel or punctured tires.
1t is impossible TO obtain accommoda-
tions along the highways south Of the
city, owing to the chaotic conditions aris-
ing from the fight.
Hundreds sleep at night in the fields.
for the weather has been warm and dry.
In the larger towns the hotels are filled
to overflowing and thousands Of appli-
cants for accommodations have to be
turned away.
A census by military officers working
under direction of Gen. Gallieni. the mill
itary governor, shows that the popula-
ton of the capital has decreased 30 per
cent this week. 1t is expected that with
in a few days this will be increased to
so per cent or more.
Assistant Secretary OF War Henry S.
Breckenridge, who came to Europe to
help stranded Americans. has been in
structed by his government to remain
here indefinitely. These instructions were

New York. Sept. s.-Recent activity in
wooden circles has been caused, II
was learned today. by the receipt of Or
ders from Great Britain for 100000 army
blankets. American manufacturers have
been asked to bid, but It is said that the
mills of this country are already swamp
ed with domestic orders and hardly hope
to furnish more than a third Of the huge
order.
The United States government pays
around $3.50 when buying its army
blankets in lots of 5000. England would
certainly have to pay considerably more,
hence the order represents a total value
Of S0OO,OOO or more.

HOUSE GIVES 600

UPSETS ECONOMY PLAN
Amendment Offered by Representative
]. Hampton Moore to Barnhart
Bill Adopted.
UPSETS ECONOMY PLAN
By JOSEPH p. ANNIN.

PausIng in the painful task of abridg-
ing its own privileges and perogatives,
the House in Committee of the Whole
yesterday voted 5-cent-an-hour-incress
to some 600 printers and bookbinders in
the Government Printing ONCE. BY a
vote of los to Il, an amendment offered
by Representative J. Hampton Moore to
the Barnhart printing bill. was adopted.
providing that printers and bookbinders
in the Government Printing Office should
receive the same compensation-55 cents
an hUur-as do the compositors. At pres
ent the two classifications named first
receive 20 cents an hour.
One Of the most carefully prepared
pieces Of legislation presented to this
Congress, the Barnhart bill aims at
economies in the administration of the
big government printery aggregat!ng $780,
COO a year. Many of these economies 1t
is proposed TO effect by curtailing pet
privileges OF Senators and Members OF
Congress, notably the abuse OF the leave
to print and extension Of remarks priv
ileges and the extravagant and incon-
gruous distribution OF public documents
without reference to the needs OF the
locality in which they are sent.
May Restrict Remarks.
BY restricting the number Of publica-
tons printed as public documents, II is
hoped to save $500, a year. It is pro-
posed to restrict extension OF remarks
to matters germane to a subject an
nounced when the request for permits
sion is made, and to require that IL the
remarks so permitted consume more than
four pages Of the Congressional Record,
the request must be approved by the
Committee on Printing.
In restricting the distribution Of pub
lie documents, the bill proposes that
each Senator and Member shall be given
annually a printing credit. and be per-
mitted to send out publications of what
ever nature he desires up TO the limit of
that credit Under the present system
a specified number Of each document is
assigned to each member. regardless Of
whether that members constituency is
interested in the subject matter OF that
particular document.
Puts Expense on Members.
Another perogative which the bill pro-
poses to curb is that Of having the Gov
ernment Printing Office emboss the sta
tionary Of members. The bill proposes
that the difference in cost between print
ed letter-heads and embossed letter
heads shall be borne by the member de-
string the more artistic finish.
The bill further vests in the joint COM
mittee on printing definite powers Of
supervisor over the big printery. which
up to the present. aside from the power
Of the President to remove the public
printer, has been accountable to no
branch of the government for the actions
Of its executive.
