A Speech That Mr.. Wilson Had Bet.
ter Read.

According 70 Washington dispatches
President WILSON Is to confer early
in the fall with q committee Of the
House. headed by the Hon. SwAoAR
SHEsLEY Of Kentucky. for the purpose
OF getting up budget such as in one
form or another was recommended by
Mr.. TAFT and other seekers out OF
and IN Congress for more enlight-
ened system Of appropria tons and
the reduction OF what is rather loosely
called the extravaganza OF Congress.
How far Mr.. WILSON is from admit.
ting or appreciatng at present the
monstrous evil Of Federal prodigality
is clear from these words Of one of
the dispatches referred to:
Mr. WILSON made Il plain that he re-
CARDS change IN the present methods
advisable. Al present the Admnlstra-
ton officials can do nothing but make
expenditures as directed by Congress
The President has not read the full
statement OF Representative JOHN J.
FITZGERALD, chairman OF the House APP
propriations Committee, which predicts
that there Will be deficit OF Si33,oo0,-
coo for the present fiscal year"
We advise Mr.. WILSON to read IL
without delay. He will find that the
Sixty-third Congress, however blam.
bic that Congress was for permitting
waste Of the public moneys, was AT
least not quite as wild a spendthrift
as the Administration wanted ii 10
he. The total appropriations Of the
Congress were in round numbers
2,231 100000. Here is significant
passage from the speech which the
President has not read
The estimates submitted b. this Ad-
primarily with Congress. The Executive
has been more reckless and improvident
than Congress. and with less excuse. In
this session the appropriations have been

Administration. In the last session they

dence OF falling revenues plainly before

obeying tho law and guiding Congress
to obvious and imperative economies,
Congress has been obliged to restrain

long as the Executive shows no appre-
oation OF his responsibility In advising
how TO make the two ends meet, Con-
gress. with its large membership and

1t is explained that after the capture
OF Jaroslau and Radymno by the Aus
tro-German forces they began to
spread along the west bank of the San,
making the defense of Peremysl a diff

realized from the first that Peremysl

they remained there only as long as 1t

In the regions beyond the Dniester
the enemy, concentrating important

Possible Moves in West.
Some commentators on the military
situation are suggesting today that the
allies in the west will now initiate an
offensive movement in the hope Of re-
lieving the pressure on the Russians,
but on the other hand 1t is noticeable
that during the Austro-German rush
into Russia there was no synchronizing
allied movement in the west, and Il
would be no surprise II the Germans
themselves should begin a serious Of
