WAsHINGroN Sept 1.-THE immedi-

willing to make the concessions neces-
sary to carry the situation over its pres

ment toward the Arabic case viii he
obtained. He has opened a fresh discus
sion with his Government, and bending
the outcome of his efforts there will be
no iurther moves In the situation 50 far
as this Government is concerned
II is expected that at least a week or
ten days will elapse before the outcome
OF his efforts can be known here. The
Washington Government is more than
willing To give the Ambassador plenty OF
time for adequate consultation with Ber-
lin, and to defer action or even decision
until he Is in position to communicate
again with the state Department.
Rest for the Diplomats.
Matters having reached this stage of
inactivity for the moment. so far AS the
washington Government is concerned
Ambassador Won Bernstorff Is planning
to leave Washington in a day or two for
the summer embassy. II is also quite
probable that Secretary Lansing will ar
range TO get away for few days of rest
IN the interim. Mr. Lansing has not
taken any vacation this year
The German Ambassador WAS never
more hopeful OF an amicable solution
OF the submarine controversy being
reached than he Is now. While officials
or the Administration do not. for obvious
reasons, publicly echo the Ambassadors
radiai' optimism, 1t is known that they
feel also that the situation is more
satisfactory to-day thar at any time
since the sinking OF the Arabic.
Particularly is there renewed con-
hdence now because the note writing
process has been abandoned in favor OF
direct discussion by the two Govern
ments through the medium OF the en-
bassy and Foreign offices.
II was noted with satisfaction here
to-day that Ambassador Gerard repor,ed
talk with the Berlin Foreign once an
parently similar in its purposes to the
conference between Secretary Lansing

gave rise to the belief that the German
Government shares the desire Of liz

JOHN HENERY OF NOWHERE.

"John Henery of Nowhere was the

lict. He was charged with vagracy but
with considerable dignity he informed
the court that he was not and never
had been vagrant and that he had no
idea of pleading guilty to such a7charge.
John Henery was promptly sent over to
the county Jail to await.a ten days ad-
journment but he was back in just FIVE
minutes wanting to plead guilty. "You
say you come from nowhere'' was the
query of the judge this time. ssNow

Cost Of Government.

The administration calculates that
the government should spend about one
and a quarter billion dollars next year,
or nearly double what it was spending
ten years ago-another notice that gov
eminent steadily grows more expensive.
To govern the world before the great
war probably cost twenty billion dol
lars year. The Statistical Abstract
tabulates expenditures of seventy gov
ernments, whose subjects-numbering
one billion six hundred and odd mil
hons-virtually make up the world IS
population. Before the war these gov
ernments spent over thirteen billion
dollars year. But this does not in
clude expenditures of American states,
counties and cities, which must now
run well toward two billion dollars a
year. 1t does not include expenditures
of cities anywhere, nor of many other
small political units. Quite likely the
total would reach twenty billions.
On peace basis, the United States
and Germany appear to be the most
extensively governed countries in the
world. Our total, when the new bud
get is adopted, will be within haiIing
distance of three billions Expendi-
lures of the German Empire, the Ger
man states and the colonies amounted
to nearly two and half billions. But
the German states operate railroads,
telephones and other public utilities,
which swell both revenue and expendi-
ture, whereas our expenditures are
nearly all for government pure and
simple-or impure and complicated, if
you like it that way better. If we
took our total at three billions and the
world s total at twenty-five latter, of
course, being only the rudest sort of
guess-it would cost one-sixth as much
to govern hundred million people in
the United States as to govern q bill
lion and half people in the remain
der of the world.
As to the national budget, the annoy
ing feature is not its size, but the sus-
picion, based on the opinion of those
who speak with most authority, that it
involves a great deal of waste. Every
body in the country, except the states
men at Washington, would like to
know how well grounded that suspicion
is. 1t is easy to get the government to
investigate everything else, but prac-
tleally impossible to get it to investi-
gate itself.-Saturday Evening Post.

LOCAL TEAM INITIATES CLASS
Forty Members Of New Evanston Lodge
Are Also Guests for Evening and
Chicken Dinner With All the Frills
Follows the Ritualistic Work.

The strong bond of fellowship ex-
listing between the Racine and Keno
sha "Bills was much in evidence on
Wednesday evening when the Racine
Lodge of Elks were hosts to the
Kenosha lodge and more than sixty
members of the Kenosha lodge accept
ed the hospitality and went on a
special car to Racine for the evening.
1t proved the most interesting of the
long line of joint meetings held by the
two lodges. A feature of the evening
was the fact that the Racine lodge al
so had as its guests some forty mem
bers of the newly organized Evanston
lodge who had been invited to see the
work of initiation as exemplifed by
the members Of the Kenosha team.
There was an informal reception in
the club rooms on the arrival Of the
Kenosha and Evanston delegations and
many of the prominent men of Racine
were in the receiving line. A class Of
eight candidates were in waiting for
initiation and the ritualistic work was
beautifully given by Exalted Ruler
Thomas S. Scott amt the members Of
the Kenosha corps Of officers. One
especial beautiful feature was contri-
buted by Racine members. A full or
chestra furnished musical setting for
the ritualistic work.
At the close of the initiation there
were short addresses by Exalted Ruler
dwell and Past Exalted Ruler Stat
ford of Evanston lodge, who gave high
praise to the Kenosha team for it's
excellent work. Mr.. dwell declared
that he had never seen the ritualistic
work of Elkdom so perfectly given
Exalted Ruler Thomas Scott and
Past Exalted Ruler Edward G. Alleman
responded for the Kenosha members
and the Racine response was given by
Exalted Ruler Burton E. Nelson. Lat
er short talks were made by Judge
William E. Smieding and Judge E. B.
Belden.
Then came the dinner. In the hand
somely appointed dining room at the
Elk s club chicken dinner had been
spread and tables were set for more
than two hundred and fifty Elks This
was followed by cabaret musical pro-
gram and it was long after midnight
before the special car bearing the Ke-
nosha Elks started south again.
The evening proved one of the most
enjoyable in the history Of the two
lodges. The Racine Elks will be in
vited to exemplify the work in Keno
sha early in the new year.
