1t Is a certainty that any plan to
lessen the importance of the National
Guard viii be bitterly fought in Con-
gross. This is true In part because
the guardsmen in every state are
strong politically. and members oi
Congress will not want to disregard
their wishes.
One plan proposed is to Federalize
the National Guard and make 1t cease
to be a state organization.

From Commissioners.

Plans for expediting the Great Falls
power project for modernizing the

Yesterday between Joseph p. Tumulty.

of the District Government.
The Commissioners issued the follow
ing statement today: NJ r,.
1.-THE conference with Mr.. Tumulty
was held for the purpose Of enabling
him to become thoroughly familiar IN
detail with the work Of the District
government under the Wilson Adminis-
tration. 1t has been more than two
years since the administration OF Dis
trict affairs was begun under Mr.. Wiz
son. and this was the first opportunity
that has occurred for the Presidents
secretary to receive complete and hrst-
hand Information as to the progress
Of the District program.
Mr.. Tumulty has always felt and man
ifested a keen interest In the District
and has frequently counselled us on IN
dividual projects and policies. but yes
terday was the first complete roundup
with him on local matters In which he
and what we hope to do in the future.
A great variety of subjects were dis
cussed, those OF the most interest being
the Great Falls power project and as
sessment and taxation.
Of Vital Interest.
Everything of vital interest to tho
present and future of the District was
dwelt upon at the meeting added
one OF the officials who attended the
conference.
Coming as 1t does after the War
Department has practically refused
to consider the Great Falls project
tho conference has cheered those In
terested in the plan to utiliz th1
waterfalls for the city's lighting and
water supply.
District officials today construed thu
meeting to mean that the President and
leading men of his Administration arr
not only keenly interested In the future
of the Capital but particularly In thu
Great Falls proposition and in the sys
tenn of assessment and taxation O.

ANOTHER CHAPTER IN BRIDGE DRAMA
 NOW CONCLUDED
The Commissions Counter Proposition Rejected by
 Officials of County.

Another chapter in the free bridge district controversy was concluded yesterday when County Judge C. M. Philpot, J. E. Royce and J. P. Fergu- son, representing the quorum court notified the bridge commission that the counter proposition submitted by that body was not satisfactory to the officials of the county to be affected by the transfer of the district.
 The quorum court adopted a feso- lutiOn suggesting that the cornmis- sion transfer the management and operation of the district to the coun- ty. to the end that the clerical and legal work might be performed by the county clerk, treasurer and prosecuting attorney without cost to the district
 The commission "came back" with counter proposition to allow the clerical work of the district, and the collecting of bridge taxes, and legal work of the district to be done by the county clerk, the collector of Jef- ferson county, and the prosecuting attorney of the Eleventh judicial cir cult, providing such officers will un- dertake to do such Wofk without cost to the district The commits sion requested that formal reply be made at the meeting November TO- The county officials say they are willing to perform the work required l if the district management is trans l ferred to the county, as contemplated by the quorum court, but are unWill- 1 ing to undertake the additional labor with the commission retaining con- | trol of the offices and finances.
 And there the matter rests--there it is likely to rest until the legisla- ture meets, when undoubtedly efforts will be made to enact legislation per hitting the county to take over the district without assuming the deb1 resting upon that corporation

 Dropped from Pay Roll.

One car was taken out of service on the Main street-cemetery line yes terday by the Pine Bluff company, and three Of the employees of the com pany were let out, according to an- nouncement made by the company yesterday afternoon.

Members House Of Lords Express Apprehension
 Over Enornous Credits.
CON ISCATTON OF SECURITIES, TALKED
Discussing Premier isquit's's Request fer New War Credit, Lords Declare That SolyeHey of Nation Is
 Threatened.

London, May 10-"Great Britain facss a grave trancial crisis. Ii can not SC on ind finitely as it has been doing and maintain is financial solveney."
 This amazing admission was md tonight by Baron Davenport in .he house of lords, during a debate. of Premier Asquith's report on tho ex- peniitures fer war purposes since tn ? conflict began.
 The r pert. made during the after noon session in the house Of com mons, shows that Greer Britain's daily expenditures are now $21.750.- o00, having risen to thal figure since September 15. from S15 5,50O ,000
 Continuing, Lord Davenport de- clared he thought it likely tha. the government Woul,1 have 70 resort to a forced loan.
 "There is no doubt that the next loan will be subscribed" he said "but what Of the loan afer that, ana the loan after that again?"
 Similar fear of 3 great financial crisis was expressed in the house of commons when Lyman w.. Evans, Unionist member from Colchester, do clared that it might be necessary for the government, to mobilize the na- tiCn's assets. In that manner, he de- elar:d, Greet Pritain could ascertain hot ir71 conI1riti1S held in the country, and, if necessary. submit to thefr being reQuisi.ioned. by the gov rnment for the purpose of supporting the national credit.
 Tine gravity of the situation was emphasized in the house of lords by other prominent members, including the Marquis Of Cra'we, lord president of the council, and Lord Peel The latter declared tha. tho figures on eX penditures. as given by Premier As auth, approached very nearly to the aggregate amount Of the income of he nation.<
 "The gigantic sums that are being spant," he declared "are staggering to tAe ablest financiers, and the greatest caution is necessary in con- trolling national finances"
 Lord Peel expressed doubt as to whether the government was suf ficiently serious in supporting economy.
 "Army and navy pay sheets should he rigidlv scrutinized," he continusd, "for I believe there ar shoals of men living on the public purse who are giving no ad:ouate return in service" /"
 4 number If sugg 2stions were made as to how economy conli be practiced and the finances of the nation safe guarded. It was suge9s'ed by Lord Davenport that ths gasernme ent close the door to goods not essential to the country's existence. He estimatel that from s2500o0,00o to s3oo.ooo,o0 worth of goods are now coming in an nually which could be done without.
