has simply gone wildlO And there
were intimations that the army officers,
with little realization OF how the
money comes, were simply spending the
government 3 hard earned dollars like
drunken sailors, as senatorial com.
mentator put II. But this was not the
sincere attitude. There is, neverthe-
less, a very earnest desire in congress
to know how so much money is being
expended. There is something more
than political curiosity in this attitude.
While the sobeIer second thoughts of
senators and representatives are that
modern war is expensive and all the
money asked Tor must be provided, now
and then, from this time on, the dis
position of congress to inquire may
crop out stronger and stronger. There
appear to he no grounds for suspicion
that the great enterprises of the war
are not being undertaken and carried
on honestly but the very magnitude
Of the cost spurs the congressman In
his old time habit of demanding to
know details. GF"
Probably il will require several
months even for lot of officials at
Washington TO realize that the rPpub-
lie is becoming an autocratic govern
ment, in effect, during the war. Ger,
tainly the correspondence TO the White
House indicates that the country s con.
fdencc in President Wilson grows
apace. The machinery of operations
may have to be iostled into better ad.
iustment occasionally but the Presi.
dent is certainly keeping a firm hand
H. 81
to be cognizant of that fact.
Plenty More To Do
August ought TO be month of
great deal OF progress in war prepare
ton, for after all, the administration
for the present is rather preparing for
war than waging war. There has ap.
parently been an excellent get away
with the operations under the aviation
law. Now that shipping quarrelling
has been strangled, the preliminaries
for building great fleets of vessels will
be speeded further, for much has al
ready been done. The mastering in of
take on definite form. The great task
is now almost past the stage of the
Provost Marshal General s Office. The
adjutant general and the secretary of
war will soon have the force of re
cruits in hand. And possibly, quite as
important as anything else, will be the
of the food conservation
work, for the prolonged struggle over
that bill is nearing the end.
But feeling prevails that whatever
progress may be made with the tasks
in hand, other new problems may be
expected, If the spring and early sum
mer have been filed with unprecedent.
cd industry at Washington, the late
summer and the autumn have every
promise of setting new standards Of
war activities.
