GARD Amendment
IS UNJUST TO D. C.
Senator Salisbury Strongly
Opposes Abolition of HALF
and-HaIf System.
NOT WAY TO UPBUILD CITY

Senator Salisbury of Delaware, a
member of the joint committee OF the
Senate and House which investigated
the fiscal relations of the District OF
Columbia and the federal government,
today reiterated his opposition to the
Gard amendment to the District ap-
preparation bill, which would do away
with the half nd-half plan of appro-
priating for the District and specify
that the share of the National Cap
itars expenses paid by the federal
government should in no case be
equal to one-half the expenditures.
II cannot understand the attitude of
Mr.. Gard. who was a member of the
joint committee" said Senator Sauls-
bury. There was never any senti-
ment in the committee that the share
of the capitals expenses borne by the
federal government should be fixed at
less than one-half of the total eX-
penditureS.

"Now Up to Washington"

Asserting that the situation was
now up to Washington. he expressed
the belief that mo outside organiza- :
tfon that INDUCES in strikes should
be permitted to have representation
among the operators"
There can be no doubt that If the
employees Of the company are assured
that the same policy which has ex-
listed since the war began will be
continued under government control,
there will be no Joining of any out
side unions" he said. But IL the gov
erment gives the impression that out
side unions are to be fostered and
encouraged. then many employees, for
what they feel to be their own pro-
lection. will be forced against their
Wills into outside unions"

States View of Committee.

I'm fact, the desire of the commit
tee was to be just as generous to the
District of Columbia as possible and
to aid in the development of a splen-
did capital of the nation. Some of the
members of the committee actually
argued against the continuance OF the
half-and-half plan because IL might
hinder the government in making ap-
propriations sufficiently great for the
District.
And now Mr. Gard proposes. and
the House has accepted his suggestion.
that the law be changed SO as to read
that the government share of the
expenses Of the District in no case
shall be equal to one-half of the total
sum appropriated. This seems to me
to be absolutely unfair and contrary
to the real wishes of the joint commit
tee. Certainly it seems very unfair
today when the federal government
has the District more firmly in its
control than ever, and when the fed
eral government has taken over large
tracts of property and buildings In
addition to the already very large hold
ings ii has here. 1t is said that the
governments holdings of property in
Washington are considerably in excess
of one-half of the total property. Yet
1t is now proposed that the govern
ment shall not pay as much as one
half of the Districts expenses.
Injustice in Gard Plan.
The joint committee, while holding
that the continuance of the half-and-
half plan was not necessary, indi-
Gated that some other plan that was
better should be adopted. To my mind
the plan offered by Mr.. Gard is not
only not better than the half-and half
plan, but is worse and Is an injustice
to the District. l believe that the
Senate should stand firm in its opposi-
tion to this plan Of Mr.. Gard. 1t is
SIMILAR to other legislative riders
which have been attached to District
Appropriation bliss by the House and
which finally have been rejected by
the Senate.
1T certainly was not the intention
Of the joint committee that the or
ganic law Of the District-and the
half-and-half plan is part Of that law
should be changed by an Amendment
to an annual appropriation bill The
proper way to bring abou, such legis-
lation is to frame a separate bill and
to press 1t before both houses. The
fact that attempts are being made to
change the law by attaching a rider
to the appropriation bill would in
dicate that its proponents do not be-
lieve it could be passed as a separate
measure"

one desire. and that is to turn the

He asserted that II the government
failed to take over the wires before

not be interrupted and that. If mat
ters were allowed to go on as they

pany has been making as to the un-
questioned loyalty of the men and
women of the Western Union would
be demonstrated beyond a doubt"

thought there would be the slightest
interruption of service on Monday he
would willingly yield for the sake of

of Columbus board in many of its
matrimonial cases, now has a chap
lain OF its own, Lieut. Hal Kerns.
Lieut.. Kerns took charge too late 10

S. Minson. Rev. Charles Schweikert, a
"Y' secretary, performed the cere-
mony. Mr.. Schweikert had a busy

Capt Edgar C. Padgett has been

With the number of men here nearly

Record as Commission Winner.
Members of the 313th Infantry are
sorry to lose Austin Conrad, the
musician, who was sent to camp only
a few weeks ago, and retained in the
Baltimore regiment in spite of the
fact that many who were called then
have since been sent elsewhere. Con-
radl has been named band leader OF
the 316th Infantry, an organization
in this, same division. He will have
the distinction of winning a commits
sion as second Lieutenant in record
breaking time.
Cadet McReynolds OF the West
Point Military Academy is temporarily
assigned to the 311th Field Artillery
He Is a cousin of Justice McReynolds
the cadet, as announced in an order,
will be treated as a second lieutenant
and accorded all the courtesies due
that position. His pale blue uniform
stands out as distinct contrast to
the olive drab in evidence on all sides
and suggests the presence of foreign
army uniform. McReynolds intends
to spend his vacation in the camp
getting a kind of experience not to
be had at an academy.
A collection taken up for a piano
by the men of the medical supply
depot netted $6.75. With this money
Private Loring succeeded in buying
a piano in Baltimore and brought
back rs cents in change. He and
other music-loving members of the
unit made the trip to Baltimore with
a truck and hauled the prize to camp.

new SITUATION FOR
ALLIES At Front
Extension of Air and Field
Power Permits Gen. Foch :
to Assume Offensive.

The rapid extension OF air suprem-
aey and the increase Of man power by
the allies. in the opinion of observers
here. has resulted in the adoption of
new policy by Gen. Foch. supreme
commander Of the allied armies on the
western front.
The strengthening of the allies in
these two directions. 1t is thought, has
brought about the appearance of a
new phase Of great battle which
may develop into a major operation at
any point where the situation is
deemed favorable.
This opinion has developed from the
sequence of hard blows that have
been struck recently by the British,
To Assume the Offensive.
Successful attacks by the allies on
the German lines indicate that Gen.
Foch is preparing to assume the Of
fensive rather than remain inactive to
conserve his forces for the German
offensive. 1t Is felt that the work of
allied airmen made II possible for the
forces behind them to overwhelm the
Germans in several local counter op-
erations.
American aid has stimulated the
allies and helped to turn the tide of
battle. Arrival of American troops
in large numbers has enabled the
allies to begin harassing the enemy
of American pilots makes possible
concentrations of air forces that
sweep enemy scouts out OF the sky
in the sectors chosen for military
drives.
Sharp and successful operations
q ra
can, British and French fronts were
probably due to information gained
by afrmen that those particular local
sectors of the enemy were weak
Quick advantage was taken in each
instance, undoubtedly, for surprise
blows while German reserves were
on the move.
To Keep Enemy on the Jump.
| 1t is assumed that Gen. Foch in
tends to keep the enemy on the jump
Points OF vantage held by him which
would be OF value as starting points
for new major drive are being re-
captured all along the line. Germany
Is being embarrassed in her prepa-
rations, and officers here believe that
'any OF these local operations may de-
yeiop into more important move
ment and that the assaults tend to
keep the German reserves scattered
along the whole line.
The activity of the allied forces is
believed by observers here to put a
wholly new aspect on the problem Of
:ort to renew his movement either
| .oward the channel ports or Paris. 1t
- thought that Gen. Foch will be
liable to meet the German assault when
1t does come without any considerab BILE
surrender of territory.
