our gallant allies if we can do no bet

the humiliation of the present situ-

sclouS of the enormous reserve of
strength, moral and physical, inher-

returned from an extended tour of the
front and he is hopeful regarding the
ability of Russia to extricate herself
from the present military dilemma. He
regards it "a great mistake to allow
pessimistic feelings to obscure ones
whole scope of the picture of the war
on this front.
Every Reason to Be Satisfied.
"The colonel, who has seen much
service with the siberian Ironsides,"
said to the Associated Press:
| Il had the honor to accompany repre-
sentatives of the American mission on
a tour of the Russian battle fronts and
to the different field headquarters.

by any means only splendidly equipped
hospitals and motor ambulances but also

Russia possesses an enormous ter

the fall of Riga appears in some quar-

NEW SYSTEM FOR
Creating BUDGETS
Single House Committee Is
Proposition Made by Mr..
Fitzgerald.
EARLY ACTION TO BE URGED

A determined effort to change the
present scattered system of making ap
propriation bills in the House of Rep
resentatives was started yesterday by
Representative Fitzgerald of New York,
chairman of the appropriations COM
mittee, by the introduction Of a reso-
luton TO create single committee in
the House. from which shall come all
appropriation bills, and to which should
be referred all estimates.
This resolution, if adopted. would
practically strip all power and impor-
tance from the military affairs COM
mittee, the naval affairs committee, the
public buildings and grounds commit
tee. the rivers and harbors committee
the committee on agriculture, the good
roads committee. and would take ap-
propriating powers from the foreign
affairs committee and the post office
committee.
Evening star., 1917-09-30
Urges Immediate Action.

Representative Fitzgerald said he in
tends to press the resolution for action
at the present session. which means
much pulling and hauling among COM
nittee chairmen to head off the repre-
sentatives.
Representative Fitzgerald explained
the single committee idea as follows:
The purpose of this resolution is to
concentrate during the period of the
war all appropriations in a single COM
mittee. Since Congress convened in
April the committee on appropriations
has passed upon estimates aggregating
more than $4,000, 600. 900. 1t will be
disastrous to the nations finances if in
the coming session control of all ap-
propriations is not concentrated in one
committee.

Brings Suggestion for Wider
Roadway.
SECTION IS C0NGEsTED

Much interest is being displayed by
motorists and members of safety first
organizations in the outcome Of the in
quest held yesterday at the morgue in
the case of Maurice f. O'Connor. who
died following a traffic accident in
front of his automobile repair shop. at
l01 Massachusetts avenue. Tuesday
Not only are they interested in the case
by reason of the jury holding John w.
Brown. the chauffeur. for the action OF
the grand jury. but the recommenda-
tion that the roadway of Massachusetts
avenue between 4th and 5th streets
be widened also interested them.
That part of Massachusetts, avenue
between 4th and eth streets" said
motorist. "is sadly in need of widening.
1t is the main artery for traffic between
Union Station and the northwest sec
tion of the city and should be widened
without any delay.

Many Accidents Occur.

Many accidents have happened on
the three squares" he added. "and
traffic is terribly congested there every
day. Cars of the Washington, Balti-
more and Annapolis line and those of
the Columbia line pass over the thor
ouRhfare at frequent intervals. and the
automobile and horse-drawn vehicle
traffic there is very heavy.
Widening of Massachusetts avenue.

are two triangular parks. was deemed
necessary after the completion of Union
station, and the change proved benef-
cial."
The automobile owner pointed to the
widening of streets in the business sec
tion as being a boon to traffic condi-
tions there, and said he thought similar
work throughout the city, where condi-
tions are favorable for such work.

ROGERSON'S FINE RECORD.

Rogerson has made the quickest
record in the Twin Falls chapter up to
date. The extension membership COM
mittee had scarcely arrived at home
after presenting the cause of the Red
Cross to them and assisting them in
organizing, when their chairman, Mrs.
Mye made her appearance with proper
application, to the chapters for recog-
milton, accompanied by $4,000 member
ship dues. Her chairman of sewing
committee, Mrs. Clark, accompanied
her, received her rebate on member
ship, held conference with Mrs. Ed
wards, our chairman on sewing. pur-
chased materials and returned home
at once to cut out the requisite things
for the equipment for one bed and get
her contingent started at the work :;
they expect to make two equipments
before stopping.
All our auxiliaries are fully alive,
but this is certainly the shortest rec
ord in getting started. Enthusiasm goes
a long wayi

heard of Miss Pickford being a regular
little bob-cat when it comes to fight

be the case in Little Marys" new
film when a gang of street urchins
attack her at her palatial home.
In the luxurious conservatory, with
its lily pond and gigantic palms she
battles with half dozen sturdy Young
sters and finally sets them to rout at
the cost of much expensive furnishings
as well as her own immaculate ap-
pearance. Despatched from head to
foot with mud from the erstwhile lily
pond and severely scratched she
stands triumphant as the remains of
the gang are set to flight. The urchins
used in these scenes were instructed to
give real battle and in fighting them
off the popular little star had her
hands full in every sense of the ex-
pression-as well as her teeth and

activities for the day at the studio

why this was the case.
