Looking at the matter as busi-
ness proposition, the senate by de-
cided majority favored the reorgani-
zation OF the engrossing department.
Figures were produced to show that
this department uses an apprOpria-
tion Of about $500 each year,
whereas. if tyrewriters and cOmpe-
tent stenographers were used the
cost would aggregate little more
more han s. coo. This action by
the senate is in accordance with the
policy of retrenchment determined
upon by the legislature, and it is
said that the bill by Senator Werner

President Wilson delivered vigorous
ADDRESS befNre the Clerical Conference
Of the Federation Of Churches at noon
Yesterday In Aeollan Hall. The heart OF
his thought was that he loved peace. but
that he believed she ought TO be IA lady
with q backbone.
More than 500 ministers heard from
the President somewhat stronger Ian
guage, perhaps. than they had expected.
While the great majority OF them were
obviously heartily In accord with his
views there we're a few who glanced at
each other doub,fully and shook their
heads. These seemed to be surprised
when the President said:
II always accept, perhaps by some
impulrsc Of my native blood, the chai-
lenge to a fight"
Bu, there was applause loud and long
when he tod them that while he was de-
voted 70 the cause OF peace IL was not
the peace inconsistent with the MAIN
ieuancc OF self-respect or inconsistent
with what was right. Peace with JUS
tiCr. but not aggression was the prin-
c!plc that guided him.
He denied that America had grown
cold 20 the great things for which our
Government was created. He said that
our neutrality was not formal matter.
but a matter Of conviction OF the heart.
The trend Of the speech. TO many OF his
hearers iiS.icated that he was striving
TO undo In tho public mind an opinion
that might have been created by ms
"too proud to fight speech months ago.
and that he was assuring the country
that there had been definite stifYening
of attitude on the part OF the Govern
ment.
The President was introduced nv the
Rev. Or 8 Edward Young. pastor OF
the Bedford Church. Brooklyn.
The President said In part
You have paid me a great honor TO-
dav ard | want TO say how deeply and
from the heart | appreciate II. feel
