BLAZING THE WAY.

The close of the war appears tc
have brought a new sense of money
values to government leaders. They
found that the government had ac-
cumulated nearly $4,000, 600. 900 in
war debts In looking over both the
war and pre-war expenses, department
heads realized as never before that the
country had for years been conducted
upon an extravagant and wasteful ba-
sis. They realized that this waste and
extravaganza must be eliminated IL the
nation is to pay its war debts. create
new sinking funds and maintain its
position as the industrial leader OF the
world.
The desire to run the country upon
an economical basis has resulted in
an attempt by congress to establish a
national budget system. Six bills and
five resolutions have been introduced
at the present session of congress TO
bring about reform in the financial
administration of the nation. These
measures have been referred to select
committees OF the house and senate
which IT is promised will, report upon
I them DeLOTe december 1.
Representative James w. Good,
chairman of the committee of appro-
priations. introduced a measure to
provide a national budget system and
an independent audit OF government
accounts. Mr.. Good would create a
bureau of the budget "in the office of
the president" This bureau would
tor. appointed by the president. En-
ployes of the ureau would be APP
pointed from lists of ellgibles fur
nished by the civil service commission.
The bill would allow no officer of
the executive branch of the govern
ment, except the president, n submit
any estimate or request for appropria-
lions. and no recommendation as to
how the revenue needs OF the gov
eminent should be met. unless at the
request either OF the house or senate
or committee of either.
Two bills by Senator Mccormick
correspond closely TO the bill intro
duced by Representative Good. They
differ principally in respect to the To-
cation of tie budget bureau. Mr.. Nc
Cormick --ould place the bureau in
the office of the secretary of the treas
ury instead of in the office of the pres
ident.
A house joint resolution would pro-
vide a joint budget committee COM
posed of the ways and means com
mittee OF the house and the finance
committee OF ths senate. The resolu-
ton provides for change of rules
in the house and senate, so that. in
stead of a score Of committees in the
two houses acting on appropriation
measures. there would be a single
! joint committee OF the house and SEN
ate to receive the budget reported by
the auditor general and. after neces-
sary hearings. report the approved
| budget to congress.
The latter plan probably would pos
sess little advantage over the present
system. There stifl would be left op-
portynities for log rolling" But out
OF this mass of proposed legislation
should come something of real value
to the taxpayers.

another situation in which all agree
that the public interests should be rec

the actual strike of the police in Bos-

the front for serious consideration.

Demands for higher wages are less
to be complained of than curtailment
Of production. Wage increases cannot
compensate even the wage-earners
themselves for scarcity OF necessaries.
Scarcity means that there is not
enough to go around; somebody must
go without. Scarcity is not only re-
sponsible for prices that are necessar-
lily high, but for the profiteering. 1t

machine was 100 per cent. efficient it
was wrecked by diplomatic blunders.
Gen. Catlin says that while the German
soldier was without exception the best
trained soldier In the world and not cow
arily when in mass formation, he lacked
initiative, resoHreefulness and adaptabil-
ity, besides being poor shot. - -
At any rate, whatever the Germans

of military man looking at situation
from purely a military standpoint, what
he says regarding the German military
system is what most of rs have realized
for a long time. But it is only a man Of
unimpugnable motives such as Gen. Catlin
who can make the candid statements he
does. .,. ...-
1.-THE military man still has the highest
respect for the German military genius"
says Gen. Catlin. 1--WE must give the
devil his due. Strictly on military lines
it would have been absolutely impossible
to beat the German military organization
with anything like equal numbers That
organization was 30 perfect in every de-
partment that each man counted for more
than any other single man IN the world.
And their capacity for speedy mobiliza-
ton was unexampled."
Gen. Catlin says that German strate-
gists met their match in Marshal Foch,
but that they were never beaten ON STRAIT

lean engineers he doffs his steel helmet
and admits that they beat the, marines
into France. .
There is something clear, crisp and con-
else about this book. Most people hest
tate TO read anything Of length concern
ing the war because they soon find
themselves hopelessly entangled in the
names Of French towns and places with
which they are not familiar. And trying
to find them on the map is like trying to
find the missing dog on picture puzzle.
Not so with this book. Not only are the
names Of the places where the marines
fought almost as well known as Gettys-
burg and Bunker Hill, but Gen. Catlin
has made small diagrams showing just
where each one is located and how far it
is from the others. By this method it is as
easy for a woman TO tell where Belleau
Wood is as it is for her TO know where the
buttons 60 by looking at Dress pattern.
Also man can find Bouresches as quickly
as he could pick out third base on base
bail diamond. Moreover, Gen. Catlin's
writing has directness and force and one
follows him from chapter TO chapter,
drawn on by the same power Of leadership
which impelled men to follow him into
the treacherous recesses Of Belleau Wood.
Besides Floyd Gibbons's book And They
Thought We Wouldn't Fight, which is Of
recent publication, Gen. Catlin's With the
Help of God and Fen Marines gives
the first authentic and connected account
of what the United States marines did in
France. Heretofore we have had but IN
coherent and disjointed flashes from news
papers, magazines and letters of the fear
less action of marines overseas It was
like broken up motion picture film which
we attempted vainly to put together. But
now has come master mind that saw the
original picture in all its horrible glory,
and a master hand able TO piece the con-
fused strips Of film into harmonious and
whole to unfold before our
widening eyes. Parts Of the story we
have heard before, either from writers
who were not military men or military
men who were not writers. But now we
have the first opportunity of hearing the
version of the marines partici-
patton in the world tragedy from one who
played his part with spirit and who writes
like he talks.
But the most remarkable part of the
book is not what Gen Catlin has to say
about the marines in France; it is what
be has to say about the Germans.
1t seems that we have been SO afraid
hat we might say something good about
he Hun that we have actually been so
1nwise rs TO underrate his once terrific
power, even though he exercised that
power for evil. As a result Of this con-
slant depreciation of the foes ability it
night appear to q neutral nation that we
won this war by running bayonets through
men who presented no more animated re-
sistance than straw dummies.
