WOULD CURTAlL
 WAR EXPENSES
 AFTER THt WAR
Senator Martin Says Ask Senate to Call No More
 Men For the Army.

Washington, Nov. 7.-Senator Martin of Virginia, Democratic leader in the senate, said today that congress will call on the executive departments of the govednment to curtain war eX- penses immediately upon the signing of an armistice by Germany He also said that the war department will be asked to stop calling men into the military service as soon as the war ends.
 Senatr Martin declared that appro- priations for war purposes in the last two years have aggdegated fifty-seven billion dollars and that he is deeply concerned over the effect the expen- ditures are having upon the country Leaders of bot hparties share his views. he said, and added that he soon would have something to say in the senate on the necessity for curtailing government expenses after the armis- tice is signed.
 Extravaganza in war expenditures is admitted by Democratic leaders. the senator asserted, but it has been justified on the ground that it has been necessary in order to guard against having troops in tho field in adequately equipped with ammunitin, food and clothing.
 The Democratic leader declared his oppositio ntO universal military tdain- ing, saying it would lead to continued heavy expenses for contonments and other war necessities in peace times
 One method of curtailment of war costs suggested by the Virginia sen ator was reduction in the number of clerks employed ill Washington and abandonment of the construction of housing for purely war activities.
 Senator Madtin said he recently had been informed by Housing Commits sioner Eid.itz that it is the intentiono t curtail this construction.
