old, was recovering and had reached

to be as much interested as he

many homes are the children being
brought up on the comic cartoons,

Cartoons which are not merely
absurd and grotesque, but often
coarse and vulgar, if not worse.
One cannot help wondering what the
finished product Of such education
will be. A story is told Of John
Mcneil, the humorous pastor Of
Cookies church, Toronto, for some
years, that on his return from a
visit TO the Canadian West he said:

Would the Venetians be bringing

Would France be jubilant over the

Would England have the Union

Would Russia be freed of the

ARMY EXPENSES CURTAILED

The Secretary Of War is apparent
ly making drastic reductions in the
expenditures of his Department.
Judging from a recent letter re-
ceived from him by Senator Martin
of Virginia. From statements made
in that letter, it appears that the
War Department, by stopping work
under progress, has effected a saw
ing Of expense aggregating sos, 300
Sis. and that, by canceling con-
tracts for work not yet started, there
has been further saving OF
about s7O1OO0,OOO. The SECRETARY
also states in his letter 10 Sena-
tor Martin that by cutting out
overtime and Sunday work, he has
accomplished an additional saving
Of s2,900,0O0 per day on war work,
and that, in order TO accomplish
a further reduction o. expenses,
the Bureau of Aircraft Production
has stopped work on a large number
Of items, including various types OF
airplanes, engines. parts, and spec
ial instruments. the resultant saving
being estimated at 1925, 100000. The
statement is also made by the Sec
rotary Of War that the demobiliza-
tion Of forces under arms in this
country will proceed as rapidly as
possible and that he hopes TO be
able to release at least two humid
red thousand OF these soldiers with
in the next two weeks.
While this disposition on the
part Of the War Department to
reduce expenditures as rapidly as
possible will doubtless be gratify-
ing to a great many people because
Of the fact that il should eventually
result in reduction Of taxes, the
question may well be raised as TO
whether the Secretary Of War, in
his haste Ia cut expenses, may not
bring about unfortunate labor con-
di.ions which will more than Offset
any possible benefits resulting from
the future reduction Of taxes.
While no doubt the conditions
with reference 10 the termination
Of hOstilities should result in
material reduction Of government
nj expenditures in the near future,
il would seem that there should be
no ill-adyised or precipitate action
on the part Of the head Of any de-
partment Of the government hut that
a complete program Of adjustment
should be formulated and carried
out by concerted action OF all such
Departments in order TO avoid any
hardship TO contract
ors and their employees, and also
in order properly 10 protect the
interests Of the government by cut
ting of unnecessary expense as
soon as practicable.
