Two False Renorts.

To HI EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir. I
have heard from a IMPORTER through an
acquaintance that tho New York w
papers have agreed to make no mention
n the War Against War" exhibit in
Brooklyn by name.
! have heard elsewhere that most OF
the New York papers declined to pub
lish the peace advertisement of Henry
Ford, which appeared In one paper as
a full page appeal on or about April ~.
Such rumors always disturb me be-
cause ! think they tend to drive think
ing people to support the ~sociallstic
propaganda, and I no more approve Of
socialism, than DO you.
Would you therefore be good enough
to write me your categorical denial OF
both these points. 30 ! can assure my

The senate aud the House-A Com.
uaPtsOn.

TIE Sun recently made the state.
nent that the present House Is more
controlled by considerations Of econ
0my than Is the present Senate. Some
figures r available for comparisons.
Thus far both houses Of Congress
have passed and the President has
signed four appropriation bills, three
urgent deficiency bills and M def
cheney bill for the military establish
ment. Two bills have passed both
houses but are still In conference. and
two more, the Post Office and River
and Harbor bills. have been passed by
the House but have not yet been
acted upon by the Senate.
In all Of the six bills upon which
both houses have acted the Senate
has increased the totals Of the House,
with the exception Of the deficiency
bill for military establishment, which
was hurriedly passed almost without
discussion. for reasons that are gen.
orally known. In the shape in which
Il was reported. Whenever the Sen.
ate has had opportunity to increase
appropriations II has done 80.
To the House total Of the Indian
appropriation bill the Senate added
e8,OO5. 35S.7S; to the legislative. ex.
ecutive and judicial bill 1t added
9508,95S. and to three urgent def.
cheney bills 81, 3OS, 658.S1.
That Ii. with the business Of ap'
preparation hardly begun, the Senate
has added to House totals $4.S97,.
088.50; a small sum as comparisons
are made in Washington. yet large
enough to be s%ymptomatic. II the
Senate increases House totals in the
many great supply bills yet to be
passed 1t will add to the expense Of
national government for the year end.
Ing June 80, 1917, something like
97O,0OO.0 600; not a small sun by any
allowable comparison.

ran OF. A little later fifteen Bed
ouins appeared with rifles above a
trench where the unarmed sailors lay
for protection. They began to shoot.
One Bedouin took aim at the cap
tain's head, He ducked. The bullet
went through his shoulder muscles,
and GROOM fell back unconscious from
the shock into the trench. When he
recovered his senses he found the
carpenter horribly mutilated but still
alive; the steward was floating face
downward in the surf. shot or

be seen.
Soon after that the captain from
his hiding place In the trench saw a
small steamboat coming round the
point. She was sending up q cloud
Of black smoke, and at her masthead

then came out Of the trench, and
running toward the waters edge he
stumbled over a sailor named LORD,
who had been "brutally wounded by
both bullet and bayonet," but was
still alive. LORD managed to say that
the other ten men had been carried
of by the Bedouins.
The little steamboat had come un-

inns. gave the dead an impressive
military funeral. GROOM and Lord
were tenderly cared for at the fort
hospital. OF the Bedouins' captives
nothing has been heard.
Such IL the story Of the Coquet and
her rev set adrift in a heavy sea
and in leaking boats, with a deaf ear
turned to the captains protest. She
was Of 1895 tons, and bound from

law. And there have been many other

This pleasing information was con
veyed to the House recently by Mr..

strike out Of the agricultural appro-
priation bill the paragraph carrying
the sum mentioned for the sustenance
Of the Weather Bureau. He said:

Mr.. HowAaD revealed the fact that

Mr.. HowARD offered to bet "+O

voted with him to strike out the

Tavennse's First AID for shirkers.

TVI hNc Scuto tuc OtiScts Siu SVu
with the management Of the Govern
ment factories known as arsenals
have been endeavoring to get for the
nation an adequate return for the
money expended BY the application Of
sO-called scientific methods. by which
the time reasonably necessary for
completing a Job Is ascertained. and
the slothful workers distinguished
from the industrious. Against this ef-
fort to get what the taxpayers pay
for from their employees the power
OF union labor has been directed. and
In the army appropriation bill for
this year the Deitrick amendment
prohibited the expenditure Of any
money carried by that measure for
bonuses. inspection. or the like.
This year 1t Is proposed to extend
the prohibition. and the House Com
mittee on Labor Is about to report
favorably a bill introduced by Repre-
sentative TAvENNER Of Illinois, whose
district includes the Rock Island Ar
senal, by the terms OF which 1t Is
made a misdemeanor punishable by
fine or Imprisonment for 'any officer,
manager. superintendent, foreman, or
other person having charge Of the
work Of any employee Of the United
States Government to make or cause
to be made with a stop watch or
other time measuring device a time
study Of any Job Of any such en-
ployee between the starting and com
pletion thereof, or Of the movements
Of any such employee while engaged
upon such work." The bill would also
prohibit bonuses and cash rewards
except for suggestions resulting In
Improvement or economy in the oper.
alton Of any Government plant"
Secretary BAKER Of the War Ne
partment has protested to the Com
mittee on Labor against this bill. on
the ground that at would be a grave
misfortune to the public and to the
employees Of the Government" This
Is self-evident. But the War Depart
ment Is not the only n that would
be affected by this legislation. Every
department employs men whose work
ing habits could be studied with re-
sultant advantage In the elimination
Of waste, the correction of bad prac-
tices. and the increase Of production.
A great army Of civilian workers,
paid by the taxpayers and engaged
In their service, could be brought to a
higher stage Of efficiency by the ap'
plication Of methods that do not cal
for too great expenditure Of energy
and strength, but assure the proper
application of effort.

 The hearing will begin Monday and by means of day and night sessions it is hoped to conclude in two three days. Only those will be heard who request the privilege of testifying and who did not appear at the House hearings Senator Simmons said tonight the subcommittee
 itself had no intention of calling any witnesses
 Administration leaders claim the bill ultimately will go through the Senate practically as passed by the House. They count on the support of Senators Bankhead, Hardwick and Hitchcock, three of the seven democrats who blocked the passage of similar meas ure last session.

Hastings Motion Is Still Before Sen ate and May Be Voted on Today. All Amendments But One
 Beaten

Washington, May 25.-Senator Husting of Wisconsin, democrat moved today that the $43, OOO,OOO rivers and harbors appro- priation bill be recommitted to the com merce committee, with instructions to re- port bill carrying not more than one half that amount.
 The motion was before the Senate at recess and may be voted on tomorrow.
 All except one of the various amend ments offered during the day were de- feated After deciding by a majority of one vote to withhold .O00 provided for Improvements on the Brazos river in Texas until survey by the board of army engineers had shown the improve ment necessary, the Senate by substan- tiaI majorities refused to reduce the ap- propriations for other projects, retaining the Trinity river project in Texas, the Ouachita river project in Arkansas and Louisiana and rejecting proposal to cut to s2Oo,0OO the $l000,OOo carried for in- land waterway from Norfolk, Va, to Beaufort Inlet, N. c.
 Senator Shafroth of Colorado offered an amendment providing that the local ity to be benefited by any appropriation must contribute 20 per cent of the entire amount It did not reach a vote.
