. Drafted men overseas probably will
be the first of Americas military forces

This is the Interpretation Of the selec-
tive service law made. by high military
ofhcials and by the military committees
of both houses of Congress
The task of policing the upset coun-
tries of Europe. as far as the United
States is concerned, Is likely to devolve
upon the regiments of the regular army
and of the Federalzcd National Guard.
II is generally accepted as an un-
avoidable duty that a large part of the
American forces must be kept in Europe
for a long time to come to aid in re-
storing order in Germany. Russia, Aus
tria- Hungary and the Balkans. The
force necessary for this work has not
been. estimated yet, but under the in
depreciation of the law in bringing the
American soldiers home all of the draft
ed men will have to he brought home
before any of the National Guard or
regular army are brought back.
This provision of the selcctive. service

COlJNCILMEN NIBBLE
AT APPROPRIATIONS
Finance Committee Makes Cut
of $4,000 and Talks of
Suing McCoach

Councils Finance Committee last
night began the tentative pairing OF de-
partmental appropriation bills for 1919,
and, after more than two hours arduous
work. which frequently was punctuated
with caustlc comments by William j.
McCloskey. of the Sixteenth Ward, APP
proximately $4,000 was cut out pro-
visionally from requested appropria-
tions. These in every instance exceeded
those for the current year by approNi-
mately 20 per cent
The meeting was attended by half
dozen representatives of the Real
Estate Board. to whom Senator Ware
promised decrease In tax rate for next
year. 1t was this pledge by Mr.. Ware
that brought from the Mayor the long
distance telephone assertion that he.
and not Mr.. Ware. had been first on the
job with the promised tax reduction.
The only threatened ruffiing OF the
meeting. which took place In the Finance
Committees room, City Hail. was
averted when Chairman Gaffney refused,
in the absence of Director Krusen. of
the Department of Health and Charities,
to bring up a bill that Mr.. Gaffney him
self introduced, appropriating an addi-
tional $4,000 to the Health Depart
ment.
Increased cost of labor and materials
led Willie m McCoach to fail to carry
out his $4,000 plumbing contract on
buildings d. +, j. * and 7 Of the By
berry Institution for Feeble minded. The
building contractor showed how, with IS
per cent of his work completed, he could
not go further until the plumbing was
installed. Mr.. McCoach fatty refused
to finish the work. Director Krusen
learned the work would cost. under pres
ent conditions. about 100000. Director
Krusen made recommendations and
Mayor Smith ordered suit against the
surety company on McCoach's bond.
Mr.. Gaffney and Mayor Smith agree
in absolute harmony on AN matters of
politics and municipal finance. Mr.. Gaff-
ney's refusal, therefore, to bring up his
own bill, which, If passed, would give to
the Health Department more than $90.-
900 with which to proceed to the neces-
sary preliminaries to the McCoach suit.
naturally brought tho question from Mr..
Trainer of the Mayors actual sincerity
in going after" MCCoaCh, members OF
whose family have held lucrative public
office almost unintcrruptedly for quar-
ter of a century
"Wc won't bring the bill up until
Director krusen is here" was Chair
man Gaffney's ultimatum last night,
supplemented with the further state
ment: There's less than half that
amount of money available in the city
treasury anyway, after these appropri-
atoms are made"
