Speaking of frankness, let us con-
slider what Senator Borah of Idaho
said in the senate the morning ;fter
Majority Leader Martin made his plea
for economy in government expendi-
lures. "If the people really knew the
method and the manner In which we
expend money and the waste of which
we are guilty" said Senator Borah,
"they would mob us. 1t Is by reason
of the fact that the details of these
expenditures are kept from the peo-
pie that public opinion is not aroused
to It's height In regard to this matter"
Speaking of the overcrowdlng of gov
eminent bureaus here, Senator Borah
let fall this somewhat cynical remark
Congress has great capacity to make
twelve men do what one man did be
fore"

II is not likely that the Red Cross
will ever go back to it's old scale OF
operation. Even before the war, Of
course, 1t did a vast amount of good,
but It required great world upheaval
like this war to show people Just what
could be accomplished by the organi-
zation when II had enough money.
Many disasters in the United States
have been softened by the power of
the Red Cross. Among the more re-
cent were the influenza epidemic, New
Jersey munitions factory explosions,
Minnesota forest fires and the New
York subway train wreck. Many peo-
ple think that the need for national
organization like the Red Cross viii
make its operation on large scale
necessary In future.

The rapidly with which the war de-
partment is going about the work of
rehabilitation indicates that there
will be as speedy a reduction of the
army as necessity will allow. There
is every indication that many Of the
troops that have recently been brought
into service by the draft will be re-
leased and sent home. There is a great
deal of doubt as to when the troops
in Europe will be returned, 1t will
take several months to determine Just
what is necessary in the way of troops
to assist the allies in restoring peace
conditions in the war-torn countries.

CONGRESS IS NOW
TALKING ECONOMY
MEMBERS REALIZE THAT HEAVY
TAXATION is NOT POPULAR
IN PEACE TIMES.
WILL CUT DOWN EXPENSES
General Opinion is That the Country's
Ablest Statesmen Should Comprise
Its Peace commlssion-Rush Work
Necessary on Legislation.
BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington.-Economy is the watch
word these days. After spending
money very extravagantly congress
has begun to realize that It Is time
to curtail expenses wherever possible.
Members of both senate and house are
aware that the heavy taxation Is go
Ing to be unpopular when the war is
over. 1t looks as If members Of both
parties would vie in talking economy,
even If they do not vote for Ii.
OF course the American people, who
have come to the front and bought
and paid their taxes without any COM
plant, are satisfied with the results
thus far. To win the war was easily
worth what II cost. The war was
much more costly to the United States
because of the lack of preparation and
the necessity of using the utmost speed
In order to accomplish results. Even
IF n lot of money was wasted-and In
this particular it means that every
thing cost Il great deal more than the
real necessity demanded-thi was
caused by the speeding-up process,
and when all is said and done every
body will agree that it was better TO
spend the money lavishly at the time
and get quick results than to have the
results delayed and allow the war to
go on for another year.
But now that Germany has Surren-
dered the men in congress responsible
for appropriations feel that the time
has arrived to put the brakes on, and
they have begun to talk economy.

The German government. It Is stat

What is the German government No
body knows. The news sent out from
Germany, even If true, simply con
fuses the situation. And is the news
true? The German has proved himself
the worst liar In all history. Can The
leopard change his spots? The social
lists are struggling among themselves
for place and power Are they making
any progress toward government
that the allies can recognize7 On the
information at hand IL is impossible
to say. The feeling is growing that
the allies will ultimately have to Oc-
c1py Germany until ordGc and govern

One class of Washington rent profit
GERS will get jolt when the
government reaches a stage where
it can largely reduce the Office forces.
Congress will not order the many
buildings which have been erected in
public parks dIsmantled, but will re-,
tain them and have them occupied by
government forces, and thus withdraw
these forces from buildings which
have been rented. In the war period
everything that was vacant was taken
by the government, and at this time
scores of old junk-piles in the city OF
Washington are paying their owners
large rental harvests. AS soon as con-
gress can get TO work actively on Its
economy program. 1t is going to cut
out this sort of profiteering.

Congressman will have a reason all
to themselves for being glad the war
Is over. Since this country took n
hand In It, and especially since Amer
lean troops began to do actual fight
ing, never an opportunity has been
missed for some member or another to
reel off what might be called star
spangled" speech. Congress admires
and approves a good patriotic speech
as much as the next one, when there
is thought and reason behind 1t, but
II got to be tlresome hearing the same
things over and over.

There has been vast deal Of specu-
lation as to who will constitute the
peace commission on the part of the
United States, Many names have
been suggested. The consensus Of
opinion is that the ablest statesmen
Of America ought to compose the COM
mission. Such has always been the
practice heretofore. At all times when
the United States negotiated with for
eign governments on such momentous
questions as settling affairs after
wars. the biggest men of the nation
have been sent as peace commission
ers or Mt least the most prominent
men in the affairs of foreign relations
and diplomacy have generally been Sc

been making preparations for some
time, became members of the Chill
dren of Mary The church was well
filed and the altar of the Blessed
Virgin Mary was prettily decorated
with flowers for the occasion The
interior of the church was brilliantly
lighted and there was a great deal Of
interest in the exercises.
Allof the members of the organize
tiap marched from St. Mays hall ac-
eompanied by the candidates. All
wore the white veil which is the en-
hlem of the order. and tie large body
Of young women made a fire appear

All sang IN Ave Maria Each mem
Der carried a candle and wore a medal
attached to blue ribbon. The candle
Is kept by the member to be used
when the last rites of the church are
administered,
Pr. Lemire preached an inspiring
sermon which touched the hearts Of
the large audience. He announced
that he himself had been a member of
the order since February ,, 1880. and
on such an occasion he was always

conversion of Gambia, great gener-
al. Gambia did not profess religion of
any kind but became the husband of
woman with a noble christian char
aeter This noble woman often called
attention of her husband to the God
she worshipped and urged her hus-
band to accept the truth.
One day this great general was
called into a big battle. He was for
some reason cast down and worried as
to the outcome All at once he re-
membered the good woman at home
ard her teachings, ana he resolved 10
ask her God 70 help him in bis hour of
extremity, promising that If he was
victorious he would accept Cod and
devote himself TO religion. The bat
tie was Won and the general became
