Some villages received their food
from the army, some went to the

All the villages had unexploded

Declares Dept. Heads Es-
Inmates Should Be Cut
In Half.

Economy in government expendi-
lures was urged yesterday by Sena-
tor Reed Smoot. of Utah. member of
the Appropriations Committee.
Senator Smoot declared every ap-
preparation requested by any gov
ernment department should be cut
in half. so that departments will be
forced to reduce expenditures to the
pre-war basis without delay.
TT will be impossible to lower
taxes unless the present high rate
of expenditure is cut down to some.
thing like its normal figure" said
Smoot. We cannot go on the wa,
we have been going. Expenses OF
the government should have beer
reduced as soon as the fighting
stopped"
The House has shown a disposi.
tion to cut some of the appropria.
tion measures. but in the opinion OF
Senator Smoot the reductions have
not been enough.
Il do not believe we should nav
out a dollar for any government
purpose until we have been shown
that the expenditure is absolutely
necessary" Senator Smoot continu-
ed. 'If the Secretary or War or the
Secretary of the Navy or any other
department head gives his approval
to request for large appropria-
tion. he should be asked to appear
before the committee and tell exact
ly why the money is needed and
how urgent the necessity for the
expenditure is"

Not In Alien Soil.
And it is the more delightful to
entertain these thoughts because
we know that these men, though
buried in a foreign land. are not
buried in an alien soil. They are
at home sleeping with the spirit
or those who thought the same
thoughts and entertained the same
aspirations. The noble women of
Suresnes have given evidence of
the loving sense with which they
received these dead as their own,
Tor they have cared for their
graves, they have made it their
interest. their loving interest. to
see that there was no hour of
neglect. and that possibly through
all the months that have gone by
the mothers at home should know
that there were mothers here who
remembered and honored their dead.
