London, Nov. 27.--The situation in
Germany appears to be more calm, al
though the country is not safe from

The decisive attitude of Kurt Eisncr,
president Of the Bavarian republic, is
uniting the anti-bplshevik sentiment
throughout Germany. Right now he is
probably the strongest man in the
whole country. His adherents have
made it plain they will not stand any

notifying Field Marshal Won Hindcn-

On the other hand it is reported there
are 10000 armed soldiers in Berlin over

new LAW PREDICTED
FOR MANAGEMENT
OF PENITENT|ARY
Legislature May Put Prison on
Same Footing As Other
State Institutions.

"Governor Withycombe has had a
chance at running the state peniten-
tiary and has made failure. The leg
islature should now pass a law putting
the prison back under the authority of
the state board of control, like all the
other state institutions.
That is how one citizen Of the state
sizes up the situation in the light Of the
trouble which has brooded over that
institution ever since the governor was
given exclusive management. He voic-
es the sentiment which is heard on all
sides, since the publication If the state
ment issued last Saturday by Warden
Charles A. Murphy, who has been
forced to resign as the result Of the
manipulation and influence of Parole
Officer Joe Keller.
1t is predicted that the legislature
will pass law taking the manage
ment of the prison from the governor
and returning it tothe board Of control
But under the constitution the COVER
nor still will have exclusive jurisdic-
ti0n over convlcts who might be sent
outside the prison walls to work.
If it should be the desire of the veg
islature to put the prison on the same
footing, as to management, with the
other state institutions, it is proboble
that an amendment to the constitution
will be referred to the people transfer
ring the pardoning and parole power to
the board of control. This board now
exercises the parole and pardoning pow
er over the inmates of the state rrafn-
ing school for boys and the industrial
school for girls.
Until this change is made, it is de-
clared, the prison always will be in
trouble so long as there is a chief cx-
ecutiye who uses it to provide jobs for
his political friends. 1t is pointed out
that the other institutions, which are
under the management of the board Of
control, are not always in trouble.

Washington, Nov 27.-Ameriean rail

was also made known, without censor

Such of the coast defense guns as
wefe taken, however, were Of calibcrs
not especially valuable for coast work.
AZ a result of these removals and be-
causeof theexpericnccs of the various
armies with respect to large caliber
guns, it was said that If would un-
doubtedly be necessary to obtain some
larger caliber guns to use in iae coast
fortifications.
Foes Could Land on Any Coast.
As TO the utilization of railways ar.
tillery, it was pointed out that Ameri-

scarcely possible now to prevent foe
from landing on olr shores. Long range
railway artillery could drive an enemy
shin out Of range at given point, but
not enough guns could be had to block
an ipsader at all points.
What Is true regarding the coast as
respects railway artillery is true too of

Coast artillery and guns have been
overseas since last February.

ECONOMY TALK FLOWS
THICK AND FAST NOW
Salary Boosts For Depart
ment Heads viii Not Be-
come Effective.

Washington, Nov. 27.--Congress has
determined to take full command Of fl
nancial reconstruction.
Executive heads are to be asked to
cooperate toward program of drastic
peace time economy, but whether er
not they comply, they will bc made
aware that congress holds the final au-
thority in money matters.
ls Developments, expected soon, will
serve as warning to cabinet officials
and others who spend money.
|. That any unexpcnded war uppro-
lpriations in the hands of departments
will be revoked by congress at once.
9. That expenditures on contracts or
other war work must stop immediately
and any excess supplies on hand must
be liquidated and the money returned
to the treasury.
3. That all departmental estimates
for the fiscal year Of l919-l920 must
be recalled by departments and chopped
to the last cent.
Sherley Takes Action.
While economy talk has flown thick
and fast about congress since tho end
Of the war, Chairman Swager SherleY
j of the house appropriations committee
has taken the first definite action.
The program sherleys has outlined
practically cetEtomplates taking all
funds out of the hands Of executive
fdcpartments at once and re-approrriat-
ling on d peace basis for the rest Of tho
fiscal year,. which does not end until
next June 80.
FOR that time congress, working up
on the theory that the war would con-
t,nuo, appropriated and authorized ap-
proximately $4,000, 100000. How much
Of this can be recovered, Sherlcy will
Idcternine in the next few days after q
series Of conferences with executive
heads.
NOW Is Time to Economize.
When the war was on Sherley insist
ed on giving every dollar asked to
prosecute it successfully, Now he feoA
| the time has arrived for his committee
to take full charge of appropriations
and decide what shall be spent and
what shall not.
The determination to demand thor
oueh revision Of all departmental ,sti-
mates was reached because those 80 far
received by Sherley's committee show
little reduction in comparison with war
time requests. In few eases there
lis an actual increase.
