INCREASED EFFICIENCY
IN G.P.0., FORD REPORTS
Recommends Erection of New
100000 Building as Old Wood
en- Interior One Is Dangerous.

Considerable more work is being
handled by less number of en-
ployes actually working, indicating a.
decided increase in efficiency and ear
nest cooperation on the part of en-
ployes,'' says Cornelius Ford, public
printer, in his annual report trans
mitted to Congress today. Mr. Ford
makes several recommendations, one
of them being for a new building. to
replace the old one at North Capitol
and H streets. which is now used for
storage, postcard production and the
mailing force of the superintendent of
documents.
This building has been condemned
a number of times. is in need of con-
stant and expensive repairs, and by
reason of it's almost entirely wooden
interior construction would offer but
little resistance to fire, and in such
event would be a serious menace to
the new building on account of it's
proximity. The walls are not strong
enough to stand the strain of heavy
machinery and it is thus impossible
to extend productive divisions into
that building, no matter how badly
room is needed Mr.. Ford recon-
mends a new s2,000,00O building.

FOR REPORT ON EXPORTS
OF MUNITIONS Of WAR
Senate Adopts Hitchcock Resolution
Requesting Statement From Sec.
retary of Commerce.

The Senate yesterday afternoon
adopted a resolution offered by Sena-
tor Hitchcock of Nebraska calling
upon the Secretary of Commerce to
inform the Senate as to the number of
arms and the amount of ammunition
and artillery exported from this coun-
try since the war in Europe began. and
to what countries. The resolution also
.. asks for information regarding the
quantity of arms and other munitions
of war which are exported from this
country in normal times.
Following the adoption of this reso-
luton, Senator Hitchcock introduced d:
bill which would prohibit the export of
arms. etc, from the United States to
any country desiring to use the arms
against another country with which
the United States is at peace.
What the Bill Provides.
Discussing his bill, Senator Hitchcock
said:
my bill proposes to prohibit people
in this country from exporting arms,
artillery or ammunition to any country
engaged in war against country with
which the United States Is at peace. If
laws of the United States. Already
those laws prohibit people in the
United States from fitting out ships of
war and sending them to help any bel
ligerent. Our nation stands for peace,
and 1t seems to me outrageous that we
should be running our powder factories
and our gun works night and day to
furnish means for carrying on the
present war. Those who are making
money out of this traffic will, of
course object to this bill, but no one
else ought to. Two years ago we
thorized the President to prohibit the
expectation of arms and ammunition
to Mexico because we did not feel that
this country should help to continue
the war there.
Warns Against Neutrality Breach.
"As a matter of fact, our government
owns at the present time more than
three hundred thousand good krag-
Jorgenson rifles, better than some of
the arms now possessed by European
nations. We have discarded them be-
cause the army has better weapon.
Several of the European nations would
like to buy them and undoubtedly
Uncle Sam could get handsome figure
for them and the Treasury Of the
United States would be very much
benefited, but no one would propose
such an outrageous breach of the laws
of neutrality for the benefit of the
whole people of the United States.
MY bill proposes to carry this law of
neutrality a little further and to for
bid to individuals that which is al
ready unlawful for the government

JORDAN BEMOANSL0SS
OF FBESTMEN|N IN WAR
Tells Commercial Club Next Euro
pean Generation Will Be Chill
dren of Slums.

That a voice at Christmas time, as
one 1914 years ago. calling for peace
on earth and good Will toward men,
might gain be heard around the world
this coming Christmas. was the wish
voiced by DIR. David Starr Jordan. in
ternational worker for world peace. in
an address at the Commercial Club last
evening. Mr.. Jordan deplored the fact
that the picked half million the fin
est men in each country, would be the
ones lost in the war. and that the
fathers of the future generations viii
be from the siums of Europe-from the
men whom war could not use.
No country now cnga ged i'm the con-
fiict across tho seas will want another
war in the near future. according TO
DIR. Jordan: therefore, he intimated, the
United States need not arm. This
country. he said. would be the only
nation of the world at the end of the
present strife having any money to
loan.
TT is not likely that the United
States will. under these conditions. re-
ceive an ultimatum," he said. This
country should carry just as few guns
and when we are giving our spare
money and making friends we should
not be loading up with the same ma
chinery that has brought ruin TO the
Preparedness for war is not fhc way
TO prevent war. All of the military men
in the several countries are daredevils.
willing to take any chances for glory
and for the chance of doing things.
Last Great War.
No great war ever will come again.
the speaker declared. There may be
wars where one nation takes possess
sion of A badly governed neighbor. but
the force of arms is the force of fear
and cannot last. Eventually some
thing will be done to overcome the
fear. Had South Africa been held only
by the force of British arms, the peo-
pie there would have risen up in re-
volt"
Saying that all of the officials of the
United States government might die
suddenly and yet the government
Would exist, DIR. Jordan expressed his
belief that this is the strongest gov
ernment of ALL
I'm Germany were the officials to die
the government would go to pieces
Inc people might become like flock
OF sheep or they might boone as wild
horses. In France they have been as
wild horses when their leaders died"
he declared
War Epigrams.
Among the statements which he made
were the following:
War is anarchy; law is order
I'VE talk of heroes of war as though
a hero wasn't made until he had had
a bayonet stuck into him.
"It is not true that any nation suf-
fers from the ills of peace. Most Of the
ills of our own country date back to
the civil war
'One of the wisest things 1 ever
heard Theodore Roosevelt say was in
this city. when he declared that it all
ways pays nation to be a gentle
man."
In conclusion DIR. Jordan urged his
auditors to think for themselves. BE
neutral inasmuch as you hate no ma
tion," he advocated. but do not be
neutral because of ignorance or hazi-
ness as to the real causes of this war"
On motion of Simon Wolf. a rising
vote of thanks was extended to Dr.
Jordan. W. c. johnson, president of
the Commercial Club, presided.

zADDE IS CONFIDENT
RUSSIA SURE TO WIN
New Attache to Embassy Here
Comes by Way of Siberia
and Japan.

Confidence that the Russian army will
force it's way to Berlin and Vienna and
that Germany is doomed was expressed
by y. Zadde, who has just arrived in
Washington from Petrograd to aug
ment the staff of the Russian embassy
He left Petrograd two months ago,
coming to the United States by way of
Siberia and Japan.
The taking of Lodz by the Germans
does not amount to much" he said.
1T is not an important strategic point
1t is an open city. with no fortifica-
tions. The operations around Przemysl
are far more important. and If Cracow
falls, as it undoubtedly will. the road
will be open for the Russians to Ber-
lin and Vienna. The important forti-
fed cities on the western frontier of
Russia are fifty miles or more from the
German border
'In Russia there is but one senti-
ment" continued Mr.. Zadde; that is.
that Germany is doomed. The spirit of
patriotism among the Russians is re-
markable. If it were necessary Russia
could mobilize an army of many mil
lions more than have been called. The
men who are in the field and those in
reserve represent soldiers who have
been trained and drilled for war. They
are not volunteers.
Soldiers Are Trained.
Il have found since coming to the
United States an impression that most
of the soldiers of the Russian army are
volunteers. This is a mistake. All are
men who have seen service in the
army The Russian forces are greater
than those of Germany and Austria
combined. and the government can
throw into the field an army that would
exceed in numbers the armies OF All
the countries at war in Europe.
THE people Of Russia look for a hard
struggle. They do not underestimate
the strength of the Germans. But
Russia is prepared for it. Russian SOL
diers are always ready for the rigors
of winter. They are used 10 it,
Throughout Russia there is no feeling
that Russia is in the war for conquest.
