Preparedness to Be Gained by Ending
Misuse of Congressional Ap-
preparations System

WASHINGTON, Sept 1.-iMore cash for
warships. land fortihcations ammunition
and artillery and very much less &c
maintain useless navy yards and army
posts will be the slogan of the Admins
tration's program for national defense
That was indicated by Administration Of
ncials who conferred with the President
today.
Among them were Postmaster General
Burleson and Senator Tillman, chairman
of the Naval Affairs Committee of the
Senate They received the impression
from the President that he would fight
log-rolling methods, whereby individual
appropriations were granted for the navy
yards and army posts in their districts.
The Administration will try to prevent
members having army posts or navy
yards in their districts from serving on
Senate and House Committees which
make appropriations for their support.
BY abandoning useless navy yards and
army posts the President has been told
S150, 900, 900 could be saved.
After Senator Tillman left the White
House this afternoon he said
II am for a safe and sane policy Of
military expansion. 1 believe however,
that we ought to take advantage of the
Lesson of the European war and not
waste money in methods that have been
proven worthless"
Denial was made that the sum of $780,
10000 had been fixed arbitrarily as the
amount needed for rehabilitation.
The President is hopeful that 1t will be
possible 20 make start" on a program
for complete preparedness with much less
money. But IL is explained that he will
not make up his mind on that subject un-
til he has had conferences with congress
sional leaders. The executive expects to
spend a good part of the present month
in such conferences. He will not limit
the exchange of views to members of his
own party, but hopes to hear from a
number of the leading Republican Sena-
tors and Representatives.
The President already is compiling data
for his message to Congress on this sub
1ect, despite the fact that the time for
the assembling of the legislative branch
is still three months away. Part of this
data he has compiled from independent
sources, and additional facts and figures
are to be given him by Secretaries Gar
rison and Daniels within the next few
days.

rooms was bright from roof to kitchen
with floral carpets and wallpaper and
varicolored upholstering on all the fur

The soap business prospered. and Mrs.
Wigley learned. Their next house of
eight rooms had nothing floral in its
adornment. Instead, the rugs every
