REPORT ON CEMETERY BILL
Commissioners Favor Prohibition
on BuriaIs Asked by Owners.

The Commissioners sent to Congress
today a favorable report on 81 bill to
prohibit interment in the cemetery
known as the Cemetery OF whiteS
Tabernacle. No. 80. of the Ancient
United Order of Sons and Daughters,
Brethren and Sisters of Moses"
The cemetery, which Is located in
Thirty-seventh street, between Ten
leytown and Chevy Chase Circle, was
established about 1880 and abandon
ed as a burying ground in 1910. The
owners, the Commissioners say, are
DESTROYS of removing the bodies to a
more suitable place, and in order to
do this must obtain legislation.
The opening of graves Is prohibited
by statute unless application for per-
mission is made by the nearest rela-
tives or legal representatives of the
deceased.
In the present instance, the Com.
missioners say, it would be difficult,
il not impossible, to locate nearest
relatives of many of the persons in
TERED in the cemetery, and their legal
representatives have long since settled
accounts and lost their official status.

OUR SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE

The United States buys just about
twice as much from South America
as it sells to that grand division;
and the increase of exports is in
about the same proportion as of i'm
ports.
Taking the first eleven months of
1915 and 1919 as basis of comparison,
we find from Department of Com
merce figures that imports grew
from 28S to 1888 millions of dollars;
exports, from 129 to 1877 millions. 1t
may indeed be pointed out that ex-
portsports increased over 81 per cent
while imports grew only 33 per cent;
but, while the tendency is encour-
aging, the fact that imports are still
almost exactly double imports, is not
suggestive of a wholly successful eff
fort to expand out trade in this ter
ritory.
At'the base of our trade relations

THE WAR MAKES 1T HIGHER"

1t is a hackneyed phrase, too
familiar at the dry goods counter,
the grocery, the butchers shop, and
about every place else. Now we shall
hear it from the makers of govern
mental supply budgets; and it is
literally true.
The war makes government cost
more; so much more that the current
budget Of our Government is fully
Keeping pace with those of the fight
ing countries. Indeed, it has been
calculated recently that the United
States budget for, the 1917 fiscal
year will be greater than that of any
European country. 1t is figured thus,
in a survey by E. D. Brigham,
Washington correspondent Of the
Boston Transcript: -
This country, although at peace,
will have a larger budget in 1918 than
any of the warning nations of Europe
indeed. its expenses will be greater
than those of any other country. II
the war should end one year from
March next, England would have an
annual budget thereafter of 81 ,20Or
100000; Germany a budget of 81 ,3O0,-
100000; Austria-Hungary one of ST.
400, OOO,O 900; while Russia, which up to
: this time always had the largest
budget in the world, would have-ex-
penses of 81, SOC. OO0, 900. The United
States in 1918 will take the lead, with
q budget of 81 ,655, OOO, 900.
Military expenses of this country
are vastly higher, in proportion to
power maintained, than in other
countries. The item of pay for Of
ficers and men is higher than in any
other country; maintenance is also
much more expensive. 1t is above
all time for economies in govern
mental expenses; time for the pork
to be omitted, for essentials only to
be considered. Secretary McAdoo,
in warning both the departments and
the Congress Of the absolute neces-
sity for close pruning. has sounded a
note that must be echoed in every
department of Government activity.

THE LAWSON FIASCO

The Committee on Rules might
decide to investigate Chairman
Henry's investigation of Mr.. Law
sons leak charges; then special
committee of the House could inves-
tigate this committee investigation
of the chairman's investigation; and
later, the House might investigate
the special committees investigation
of the Rules Committees investiga-
ton of the chairman's investigation.
Mr.. Henry has conferred" with
Mr.. Lawson; also correspondent with
him, it will be recalled. Mr.. Henry
is sure there is nothing to investf-
gate, and declinesSto call the Rules
Committee together. The other mem
bers of that committee, excluded
from the amusing and edifying ex-
perience of a session with the enter
tanning Mr.. Lawson, don't seem es-
pecially appreciative, of the consid-
Grafton extended to them by their
chairman.
Meanwhile, how did that informa-
ton get to the stock market? Some
thing did happen, not very badly de-
scribed by Lawson in his charge that
there was a leak. Senator Stone
says there have been leaks. Mr..
Lawson names no names, because he
wants to be assured that real in
vestigation is to be had; the chair
man will not make a real investiga-
ton because Lawson names no names
and gives no specific information.
The two gentlemen seem to have ac-
cumulated a lot of publicity very
cheaply, and to have effected an i'm
passe that assures that nobody else
will get anything out of it all.

SYMPHONY DELIGHTS
Or. Muck Reveals Much Tempera-
ment In Third Concert.

Never before in Washington has
DR.. Muck shown so much tempera-
ment, so much life in his handling of
the Boston symphony Orchestra as
he did at the third concert of the sea
son given yesterday afternoon at the
National Theater, with Carl Fried
berg, pianist, as soIoist.
Rare, indeed, was the reading Of
the six sections of the Tschaikowski
suite in d minor, and the orchestra
played this vital and sinuous music
with a wealth of tone, rich and i'm
passioned at times, and again with a
fineness and perfection of tone values
that were indescribably lovely.
The Tschaikowsky fugue was not
alone a thing clearly limned. but it
was vital with a Wagnerian fullness
and sweep that rose to a stunning
crescendo. Pastoral touches. a ca
price with subtle syncopation and
fineness, with rare figures in the wind
section; than a true Tschaikowsky
romance rich in its Eastern pathos,
or as in the 'fMarche miniature" fairy
chimes in marvellous effect, all these
were endowed with a high art in exc
cution and in Interpretation with
both imagination and emotion.
In the Schumann concerto in A
minor for piano, Mr.. Friedberg dis
played a tone in harmony with the or
chestra. a spirit OF romance, and
some very lovely melody work. He
lacks a full command in his broader
passages. nor does he discourse very
eloquently through the Sehumann
"Andantino." His playing is pusical
and facile, but not always interest
ing. The orchestra felt the full beau
ty and depth of its many rich epi-
sodes.
Weber's "Euryanthe" overture was
a blithe and delightful close to the
program. 1t was given with spirit,
grace, with charming rhythmic un-
dulations, The short largo was al
most ethereal with its organ tones
given with a marvel of shading,
while the finale was stirringly devel-
oped, full of beauty and of life.

CARRANZA'S STRANGE ATTI-
tube

A reading of the protocol signed
by the American and Mexican COM
missioners fixing conditions for the
withdrawal of the American troops
from Mexico, merely serves to deep
en- the wonder at Carranza's mean
ing in refusing approval to it. 1t
would have been regarded as an al
most complete concession of his de-
mands. In effect it provided for the
withdrawal of the American troops
within forty days. The protocol was
signed by the commissioners on No
vember "a, so that if it could have
been made effective at once the with
drawal might have been complete by
this time.
Not only did the protocol provide
for the particular thing that Car
rama had been understood most to
want, but there was a supplemental
agreement accompanying it, that no
other questions affecting the rela-
tons of the two countries should be
considered until the troops were
withdrawn. To a casual observer,
this would have looked like a COM
plete victory for Carranza. True,
he was required to protect with his
own forces the evacuated territory;
and it was agreed that if within the
forty days there should be further
Villa activities threatening the Dor
der, the delay in the withdrawal
should be only such as was abso-
lutely necessary to overcome these
activities.
On whatever technical grounds the
First Chief refused his approval, he
certainly has placed himself in an
impossible position. 1t is understood
that he declines acceptance of the ar
rangement, on the theory that to
unite in making conditions for with
drawal of the troops would by i'm
plication give an approval and as
sent to their entrance into Mexico.
This certainly is tenuous enough.
Refusing to assent to their entrance,
he refuses to assent to a plan for
their withdrawal!
Such utter unreason would seem
to be conclusive proof of Carranza's
unfitness. Villa, perhaps, before
long. aided nv Zanata and Diaz will
rid Mexico of the incubus of this
stubborn old man; if not, apparently
anarchy must go on until new forces
shall present themselves, powerful
enough to take the situation in hand.
Mexico never looked more hopeless
than it does today, in the light of
this senseiess refusal of all cooper
alton with the only friend that,
seemingly, can help Mexico to save
itself.

THE RAILROAD OUTLOOK

President Underwood of the Erie
railroad has expressed the opinion
that there is prospect for lessened
gross, and certainty of reduced net,
earnings for the railroads in the
coming year. Doubtless he is cor
rect in assuming that until another
harvest the movement of crops must
be less than normal. The simple
fact is that there is far less of ton
mage to be moved from the farms
than there normally would be at this
season; first, because less of it was
produced, and, second, because there
has already been a very heavy move
ment of it. The cost of doing rail-
road business, like every other bust
ness, continues steadily to mount
higher, so that whatever may hap
pen to the gross earnings, the net
may be expected to show a decreas-
ing proportion. d.
There has been much of report
that those nations which have free
access to American markets have
been making efforts to organize
themselves away from so much de-
pendence on the United States. In
some directions they will doubtless
succeed. But on the whole it is
hardly to be believed that in the ag-
gregate they will need less from US
than last year. The mobilization of
their producing capacity will be &C.
companied by a greater and greater
draft of their best producers from
tie industrial to the military field;
and the cost of maintaining the
individual soldier in the field will
be higher for exactly the same rea-
IONS that make the cost of every
thing else higher. 1t is on the whole
pretty apparent that the necessities
Of war will compel increasing, rather
