EXPENSES OF
GOVERNMENT TO
BE- GREATLY CUT
Army and Navy Will Reduce
Expenses by Several
Billion in 1920.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Cessation Of
war will result in a reduction of gov
ernment expenses for the fiscal year
1920, starting next July /, to 81, 443,-
415,838, from the $24,599,000,000 ap-
propriated for the current year, ac-
cording to tentative estimates submit
ted to congress today by Secretary
McAdoo, transmitting the reports OF
the various departments.
The principal reduction was for the
military establishment, which estt-
mates its needs at $1,922,0O0.000 in
1920 as compared with the $12.274,-
900, 900 appropriated for this year. Be-
fore the signing Of the armistice with
Germany it had been figured that the
army alone would need more than
$4,000, 900, 900 for 1920.
The navy's estimates for 1920 are
$2,959, 100000 as compared with ST.
591, 100000 appropriated for the cur
rent year, an increase of billion dol
lars despite the closing of the war.
There is nothing to show what 1t was
estimated the navy would have need
ed had the war continued.
Including $574,237,O00 estimated
for fortifications. the total contemplat-
ed outlay on the army amounts to
S2,4s7, 900, 900. A striking figure in the
army estimates is the $144,943,000 for
air service production. The appropria-
tions last year under this head were
$760, 100000. It is evident that in re-
ducing war estimates the war depart
ment Is proposing not to lose all that
has been gained in aircraft develop
ment during the war, but plans to con-
tinue construction and manufacture
on q fairly large scale.

RICHLAND COUNTY
WANTS INFORMATION

Richland county school and health
authorities have sent an inquiry to
Grand Forks concerning the work Of
the school nurse in this county, and
indications are that the information to
be gathered here will be used as a
basis for Richland county following
the example established here.
The Grand Forks county commits
sioners and board of health more
than four years ago decided to engage
a county school nurse, and it was then
said that no other rural community
in the country had taken similar steps.
Since then numerous inquiries have
been received here showing that con-
siderable interest was taken in the
innovation.
In 1914 when the Grand Forks
county authorities noticed that chill
dren in the rural schools often suf-
fered from slight defects which might
be easily removed, it was decided that
something could and should be done
for the purpose of maintaining the
high health record here. Since then
a nurse has been regularly employed
by the county.

AND PEACE TO
Be TAKEN UP
BY CONGRESS
Preliminary Work Hurried
Through to Let President
Deliver Address.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Problems of
neace and reconstruction promise to
occupy fully the third and last session
of the sixty-ffth congress which
opened today at noon, to continue un-
til it ends by limitation on March 8.
After a ten day holiday following the
long second war session, most Of the
members Of both senate and house
were on hand today to start the work
of the winter.
Framing Of the legislative program
Sssdd been held in allegiance to await
the address of President Wilson, an
hour after the opening. This program
must cover an extraordinary conges-
ton Of business, including the many
annual appropriation measures, reve-
nue. legislation. investigations and
miscellaneous bills.
The usual formalities Of the open
ing Of a new session were hurried
through because of the fact that
President Wilson, about to sail for
Europe, desired to deliver his address
on the first instead of the second day
of the session.
After calls Of senate and house rolls
to disclose presence Of quorums, COM
mercial committees were appointed to
notify the president and the respec-
tive branches of congress that the new
session had begun.
Long before the noon convenine
hour, spectators thronged into the
capitol, pressing particularly to the
house galleries for seats at the joint
session at l o'clock to hear President
Wilson

" ton in Berlin.

London, Dec. "A plot to re-
store imperialism and secure the
return of Emperor William has
been discovered in Berlin, accord
ing to a dispatch from Amster-
dam to The Express.
According to the dispatch,
which was filed at Amsterdam on
friday, the chief men behind the
plot were Field Marshal Won
Mackensen, General Won Born
and General Count Won Arnim. 1t
is said that they instructed the
Prussian officers corps to carry
cn pro-emperor agitation be-
ginning Immediately after the
eslnobilization of the troops was
completed. Large sums of money
al. said to have been placed at
Il disposal OF. the leaders by nu-
rdfions makers.
The plot collapsed owing to the
fact that a secret service agent
overheard a telephone converse
tion. Many arrests have been
made in Berlin and other cities,
while the government has a long
list of suspects who had planned
to seize members of the present
government.
No direct evidence of William
Hohenzollern's connection in the
plot has been found, it is said,
but it is believed that the outline
ot the plan was brought to Ber-

JUSTICE NOW.
We are about to give order and or
ganization to this peace not only for
ourselves, but for the other peoples
of the world as we'll, so far as they
will suffer us to serve them. 1t is in
ternational justice that we seek, not
domestic safety merely.
Our thoughts have dwelt Of late up
on Europe, upon Asia, upon the near
and the far east, very little upon the
acts of peace and accommodation that
wait to be performed at our own
doors. While we are adjusting rela-
tions with the rest of the world, is it
not of capital importance that we
should clear away all grounds Of mis-
understanding with our immediate
neighbors and give proof of the
friendship we really feel? hope that
the members Of the senate will permit
me to speak once more of the unrati-
fled treaty Of friendship and adjust
ment with the republic of Colombia.
very earnestly urge upon them an
early and favorable action upon that
vital matter. I believe that they will
feel with me, that the stage of affairs
is now set for such action as will be
not only just, but generous and in the
spirit of the new age upon which we
haveSO happily entered
