WOMAN EDITOR OF ABILITY.

Secretary of the Interior Lane Is an
other cabinet officer thoroughly in touch
with the contents of newspapers, and he
also knows news when he sees it. Like
Secretary OF Agriculture Houston, Post
master-General Bureson, Secretary of
Commerce Redf!eld, and Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo, he maintains we'll
organized press service In his department
which performs the double function OF
knowing what is going on both in and
outside of the department. Attorney Gen
eral Gregory has surrounded himself with
confidential assistants who We're formerly
in the newspaper business. and that De-
partment also maintains a high efficiency
on information.
The treasury department maintains one
of the efficient examples of newspaper
digest. The editor of it is Mrs. T.. T. V.
Triepel, the librarian of the department.
No executive department has an appro-
priation by which newspapers can be
subscribed for. On the contrary, Con-
gress gives them an appropriation for
"A newspaper clipping service with which
they can buy clippings pertinent to the
work done. Few of the departments ex-
ercisc this privilege. and most of them
prefer to depend upon their own reading
Several Of the departments. including the
treasury, are placed upon the free list"
by many Of the large newspapers of the
country. and In this way the departmental
libraries can all boast of a reasonably
complete newspaper file.
In the treasury department, Mrs. Trepel
reads all the papers which come to that
department and clips out of each all the
items and editorials relating TO tho work
of the department its personnel and all
financial news. To each clipping she at

mately $500. 900 900 (par value) or
American securities which were for
etgn owned when the European war
broke out have been absorbed in the
United States during the past sixteen

railroad securities of all forms were
transferred from foreign to American
owners between February l and July

In addition TO this amount the COM
panies estimated that between $780,
100000 and $4,000. 900 was brought
by Americans from foreigners during

LACK OF FUNDS
HAMPERS NAVY

WASHINGTON. Dec. :3.-Improve-
nlelt OF the machinery Of the navy's
ships has been seriously handicapped
during the last year by lack of funds.
according 10 the annual report OF the
bureau OF steam engineering, made
public today.
The progressive reduction in appro-
priations for maintenance. coincident
with an increase in the size Of the
fleet and OF the horsepower Of their
machinery writes Rear Admiral X.
S. Griffin. engineer in chief. has
made IL almost impossible TO do any
thing more than to keep the present
equipment in satisfactory condition.
Improvement has rarely been possible
even when the necessity was clearly
indicated"
The report points u that the Eu-
ropean war has greatly increased the
cos OF material. Deliveries also have
been delayed. and the report urges a
big increase in stock In store TO pre-
vent similar delays in futures.
