No Rewards Will Be Offered for
Support Of National De-
tense Plans.
PUBLIC BUILDING BILL
TO BE CUT TO THE BONE
Rivers and Harbors Measure Also
May Garry But Small Appropria-
tion-Treasury Sees Waste.

President Wilson has set him
self definitely and firmly against
any pork for the boys in the
congressional trenches during the
coming battle over legislation for
national defense. There will be
no omnibus public buildings bill
and no river and harbor bill, un-
less it is small one designed to
carry on important continuing
works.
Intimations that the fight for pre-
paredness legislation will develop into
skillful maneuvering on the part of
a certain element in Congress TO OBJ
tain public buildings in small towns
or appropriations for backwoods river
and harbor improvements continue to
be thrown broadcast. and the prophets
are certain that it is going to be hard
to put through a bill of this kind with
out something to Dlacate those who
feel that they are voting favorably
merely to uphold the administration
care for preparedness
Will Keep Vetoes Handy.
The situation is thoroughly under
stood by the President, but he is pre-
pared to inform the leaders that pork
must have no place in the legislation
of the coming winter, and that what
ever laws are passed must be strictly
upon their own merits. and the intima-
tion is given that the President will
keep handy a few vetoes ready for ap-
preparation measures that do not come
up to the requirements in this respect.
Facts and figures have been laid be-
fore President Wilson and Secretary
McAdoo showing that the initial steps
were taken in the last two omnibus
public building bills for appropriations
running into many millions of dollars
for public buildings in many small
towns, where the total receipts each
year are not sufficient to keep up the
costs of building operation, not to
speak of the personnel In a large num-
Der of these cases the appropriations
for sites have already been made, but
the Treasury has not acted In pro-
curing the sites.
Impressed With Waste.
Treasury officiaIs are so impressed
with the waste of millions of public
money in constructing unnecessary
buildings that serious efforts have been
made to induce Secretary McAdoo to
recommend to Congress the enactment
of a law providing that no public build
ing shall be placed in any community y
with population below a certain num-
ber or where the receipts from the
post office fall below fixed sum.
Figures also are available showing
that in large cities of the country
nearly S2,500,000 is being paid out each
year in rentals for buildings to ac-
commodate the business of the govern
ment that cannot be carried on in
cramped public buildings. 1t is con-
tended that as a matter of good bust
ness the public buildings in these cities
should be enlarged rather than to
spend the money in towns that have
little or no business and where the
buildings are largely ornamental. -

left -.
She hoped that an appeal by the Fresi-

much would be required to continue the
work. The Red Cross has recently re-
ceiyed cable messages from the. Queen of
Bulgaria and other royal personages of
Europe thanking the. organization for the

more time might be asked by the COM

realized that the report of the commit

there seems little opportunity for the
