Washington. July 15.-The war de-
partment bill appropriating 500, 000,O 900

general CONSUMPTION law.
In Quick Time
The bill, carrying the greatest avia-
ton appropriation ever proposed in
Congress ard passed in less than five
hours. evoked some criticism of leg
islative methods, but no attack on the
general purpose. Chairman Denman
of the military committee declaring de-

Fitzgerald, chairman of the appropria-

vas handling public funds in a slip
shod and illogical way. and if the war
emergency. during which the bill is
specifically applicable, continues two
years. the appropriation for such a pc

This news. coming as it does in the
las phase Of the great battle against
artocratic rule, has been of immense en-
enlargement to us all, for it shows that
tICe Russia clearly sees there can be no
sting peace and no reconstruction of
the world upon better lines until Serbia.
Belgium and the other despoiled nations
have been rescued from the blasting
tyranny of military despotism, and until
responsibility of governments to their

AMERICAN SPIRIT
and TIES BINDING
STATES TO ALLIES

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Melbourne, Australia, June 19.-The
spirit of the American people and the
strength Of the ties which bind the
United States to the Allies constituted
the keynote of a dinner given recently
by American citizens resident in Aus
tralia to the Governor General Of the
Commonwealth, Sir Ronald C. Munro
Ferguson at Melbourne. Although the
function was in honor of the King
chief representative in Australia. the
dinner was intended also to celebrate
the entry of the United States into the
war on the side of Great Britain. The
occasion was one of expressions of CO.
operation and mutual esteem by Amer
leans and British. There We're toasts
to King George and President Wilson
Speeches We're delivered by the Gov
ernor- General and others in official
life, Britons, Americans and Austral-
ians; and messages of felicitation from
President Wilson and the Australian
Prime Minister. William NJ Hughes
were read. The Governor General
said:
THE different value set by one nation
or scrap of paper on which is written
it's constitution, and that set by an
other on the scrap Of paper on which
was inscribed its solemn internationa
pledges is one of the reasons why Ger
many went to war in 1914 and why
the United States abstained from war
until 1917. But when civilization is at
stake and a people resolved on right
eousness can no longer remain outside
the ring, and when the United States is
resolved to be no longer in doubt, when
ten millions liable for military service
register in "a hours-that is the great
answer of the United States to the
German claim to exercise unrestricted
piracy and unbridled dominion. 1t re-
vcals the American mind towards Ger
man aims and German brutality"
President Wilson's cablegram read
Il gladly associate myself with our
citizens in this manifestation of inter-
national goodwill" and Mr.. Hughes
who was prevented by poor health from
attending the dinner said in his mes
sage: The people of the great re-
public are to be congratulated on the
fact that they have taken up arms for
freedom. America and Australia to-
day are drawn together by bonds of a.
common ideal. made strong by sacri-
hces which time and circumstances will
cement more strongly for our common
good" George Foster Pearce. Minister
Tor Defence, who represented the Com
monwealth in the absence of Mr.
Hughes. recalled the visit Of the Attain
TIC pattleship fleet to Australian waters

hood of the United States toward

ding

the heritage Of self government which
they enjoy today was bought very
largely by the men who died on Bun
