MAT the vast gold store Of
the United States is made
IL quately protected, due to
the fact that Congress has
failed to appropriate the funds
necessary to erect a modern vault,
is the dangerous situation pointed
out by Carter Glass, Secretary of
the Treasury, who appeared re-
Gently before the House Select Com
mittee on the Budget to air his
views on the present situation in
the governments finances.
Faced with the problem of hand
ling public debt which to-day
amounts to $26,ooo,ooo,oOO, and
which at the outbreak of the war
stood at merely 81 900, 100000, the
Treasury Department, he declares,
is operating under a tremendous
handicap and, due to Congressional
neglect to provide for an adequate
number of employees, is obliged to
adopt makeshift measures which
cost the government many needless
millions. He says:
while you discuss the budget
plans and audit plans the Congress
withholds the necessary funds to
erect an adequate vault for the pro-
lection of the vast gold store Of
the United States. It withholds the
necessary appropriation to enable
the Treasury of the United States
to count Federal Reserve Bank
notes ind national bank notes
turned in for redemption, with the
result that the Treasury is unable
to take credit for those notes and
is obliged to borrow corresponding
sums Of money at interest running
at AZ and AZ per cent, and this
notwithstanding that any appropri-
alton made for this purpose will
be charged back to the banks and
cost not one penny to the govern
ment Of the United States. Bonds,
notes and gold, with the custody Of
which the Treasury is charged, are
tnadsquately protected. There Il

Military and Naval

These projects extend to every one
of some four and one-half million
men, mostly young men, who were
included in the military and naval
forces of the United States, even
to those of their number who sought
and obtained employment of a char
acter which would relieve them from
being exposed to personal risk.
"It has beeen the dishearteninp
task of the Treasury to examine
scores and scores of bills drawn and
presented with a view to benefitine
section Of the country or a portion
of it's citizenship at the expense of
the whole. Many of these bills were
apparently devised to avoid the ap-
pearance of an appropriation by re-
quiring the Secretary of the Treas
ury to issue bonds, notes or certifi-
Gates Of Indebtedness to meet the
expenditure involved, and all of
these bills were such as would not
be reached by purely executive
budget.

United States are in excellent con-
dition. have said in substance that

picion Of hillock, and the white stone
or pink brick roads wind frequently
through forest land, most Of it
the private preserves of the Dutch
nobility.
Hundreds of automobiles pass
through Doom daily during the sum-
mer season, for it is on the main
highway from Amsterdam and Rot
terdam to Arnheim, which passes the
Hohenzollern estate. There is also
an almost constant procession of BIZ
cycling tourists, and the two main
hotels, the veranda cafe and the
pensions" or boarding houses do
rushing business all through the
season.
In fact, caring for summer tour
lists seems Doorn's only means Of
livelihood. Doom is easy Of access
to the ordinary tourist. One travels
by express train from Utrecht,
fifteen or twenty minute ride, to
the station Driebergen.
The surrounding country from
Utrecht to Arnheim is almost en-
tirely composed of large estates,
owned and inhabited by type Of
Dutch aristocracy which assumes q
dignity and control bordering on tho
days of feudalism, which may be ex-
planned by intermarriage with Ger
man and Prussian aristocracy. Many
of them are Knights Of the German
Order Of st. John Cor Johaniter), Of
which the ex-Kaiser as King of
Prussia is ex-offlcio the head.
AS soon as the house at Doom was
definitely purchased by William,
agents and surveyors arrived on the
scene and arrangements were made
for elaborate alterations. Extensive
changes have been made in the sta
bic and garages, while the outhouses
also have been altered to make
sleeping quarters for servants. This
house, which is comparatively small,
containing only twelve rooms, exclu-
sive of the servants quarters, will be
left much as 1t is, with the exception

an insufficient force to care for
them. The work in the Treasurers
office is behind, the work in the
divisions Of Loans and Currency is
behind, the work in the Division Of
Public Moneys is behind, the work
In the Registers Office is behind, the
work in the Offices of all the audi
tors is behind, and the securities and
moneys of the United States are
inadequately protected because the
Congress withholds the necessary
appropriations"
Poor Pay
That this ineficency is due as
much to the low salary scale as it
is to the lack of adequate appropri-
alton may be gathered from Secre-
tary Glass's comment on the pay of
employees in the Treasury:
II am prompted here to enter a
complaint which may not be as
! cribed to a desire to be critical, but
to hope that it may be given seri-
Gus attention in behalf of admins
trative efficiency. The Congress
votes with lavish hand stupendous
sums conceived in a magnificent
spirit Of generosity with a view to
the enhancement of the prestige Of
the nation, or for the benefit of this
or that element in the community.
This it does upon the advice of the
committee Of Congress charged with
the business Of caring for such spe-
cial interests. Then, speaking
through the great Committee on
Appropriations, it pursues policy
Of restriction with relation to the
expenditures of some of the depart
ments Of the government which
makes it impossible for those de-
partments to conduct the vast affairs
imposed upon them with efficiency
and economy. The government of
the United States to-day is spend
ing hundreds Of millions of dollars,
even billions Of dollars, for armies,
Tor navies, for merchant fleets and

they realized what it is that is pro-

tiers and the children that are to
come after them in order to give
them holiday. While, of course,
you cannot commit to terms of
money the value of the service rem
dered by the army of America, I
call your attention to the fact that
the actual pay of our soldiers was
doubled at the outset of the war,
that our soldiers have been paid

the history of this or any other

to the patriotic movement in Hol-

grow vegetables instead of flowers
in their front yards in order to fight
the food shortage. In the fore

beautiful old stables on one side, and

The Estate
According to village gossip, these
will be allotted to General Won
Dommes, the Kaiser's adjutant; to
his doctor and family, and to other
members Of the staff. The house of
Doom is surrounded by a beautiful
wooded estate of about sixty hec-

runs to Amerongen; but. following
out the ex-Kaiser's orders, a high
fence is being built around the

them.
T is doubtful II any other war
from the beginning Of time
brought about such a running
into exile or seeking of new
homes by kings, queens, emperors,
expresses, princes, princesses and
archdukes as the great conflict re-
Gently closed.
Beginning with William Hohen-
zollern and then on down the entire
line Of lesser rulers Of the Father
land, the entire royal crew have
been cast on the junkheap Of has
beens. But Germany is by no means
the only land which has put aside
her royalties. Russia, Austria and
Hungary have done the same, and
Greece, while still continuing her
King, has made change in rulers,
as have some of the other countries
Of the Balkans.
But among the rulers Of the for
ner Imperial German Empire the
greatest movings and changes of
residences have taken place. When
the ex-Kaiser, acting much against
his wishes but upon the advice Of
his best friends, fed to Holland, he
took up his residence at Amerongen,
where he has since continued to re-
side, but it is rumored that things
have not been running altogether
smoothly between William and his
Dutch host.
At the best, it is a doubtful honor
to offer hospitality to a fallen mon
arch, and there is such a thing as
wearing ones welcome out. Accord
ing to stories current in the town of
Amerongen some time ago, the ex-
Kaiser was politely asked to move
as soon as he could make it, con-
venient, and finally he has taken the
stop by purchasing the famous old
mansion Of Doom, where he now
expects to settle down for life, pro-
vided the Allies do not insist upon
Hollands handing him over for trial
for crimes against international law,
with the six hundred or more other
German notables, including former
Crown Prince Rupprecht Of Bavaria.
AS matters look now, Doom is
destined to become famous because
OF its association with the ex-ruler
OF Germany, just as the Island Of
St Helena did in the days Of Ma
poleon.
Gossip
Doom, numbering 5000 inhab-
itants, is already buzzing with gos-
sip, claiming the same rights as
Amerongen to knowledge of the
doings Of former royalties. Like
Amerongen, it is one of the few viii
lagos in Holland located on ground
that seems to be above the sea level.
Instead Of canals and dikes and the
monotonous fiat land occupied by
sleepy-looking black and white cows
and pompous, fat windmills, which
form the unchanging scenery Of
most Of Holland, the country about

MRS. M'KENNEY
GAINS II LBS 3 !.
Eats What She Pleases and Sleeps
Like a Child Now, Says Mime
apolis Woman.

I never thought I would let my name
be used in connection with a medicine,
but if it had not been for Tanlac I
would still be a sick woman and / feel
that / ought to try to help others by
telling them about it," said Mrs. J. F..
Mckinney, who resides at 1921 Cedar
Ave-, Minneapolis, recently, in a state
ment in which one Of the benefits re-
ceive described is a gain of seventeen
pounds.
II had been suffering from stomach
trouble for five years, she continued,
and had almost despaired of ever get
ting relief. My appetite was very
poor and I always suffered so much
pain in my stomach after meals that
I had gotten almost afraid to eat any,
thing. My food would ferment and
the gas from it would press on my
heart until I would just have to fight
for breath. I often had nervous, sick
headaches and was very dizzy at
times. I could hardly ever get a good
nights sleep, vas very weak, and al
ways got up in the mornings feeling
as tired as when I retired at night. In
fact, that tired wo1n-out feeling was
with me all the time and I hardly had
strength to do my Homework.
FINALLY I got to taking Tanlac on
the advice Of my daughter in Musk
ogee, Oklahoma She told me of a
minister there who said he did not
believe there was ever a case of stom-
ach trouble Tanlac would not relieve
and the results in my case have con-.
WINGED me that he was right. Soon
after I began taking it my appetite
improved and I commenced to gain
both in weight and strength. My ap-
petite is just fine now, the gas has
stopped forming on my stomach, and
I can eat what I please and all I want
without ever having a pain Of an un-
comfortable feeling afterwards. I
sleep just like a child every night, get
up in the mornings feeling rested and
refreshed.
When I began taking Tanlac I only
weighed one hundred and eighteen
pounds, but now I weigh one hundred
and thirty-fve, making an actual gain
of seventeen pounds. This is just what
six bottles Of Tanlac has done for me
and there's nothing too good for me
to say for it."
Tanlac is sold in Bottineau by Sig
urdson's Pharmacy, in Nesthope by
The Westhope Drug Co.. in Gardena
by Ben H. Boltz, in Willow City by
Willow City Drug & .Iewelry Co., and
in Antler by Ant'er Drug & Jewelry
Co."

The meeting scheduled for the state

The meeting scheduled for the state
capital, July %, to determine what
becomes Of the wheat that disappears
in the haul from local elevators in
North Dakota to the Minneapolis
terminals is attracting widespread at
tention. The editor Of a noted eastern
farm publication has made his hotel
reservation already, as he expects a
large crowd. 1.-THE matter of loss or
stealage of grain between local and
terminal elevators is important to all
farmers" he writes to the board Of
railroad commissioners who have
called the meeting. 1T looks as IL
there was a big story here" Both the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
railways will have representatives at
the conference. DR.. q. r. Ladd,
president Of the state Agricultural col
lege, and ]. A. McGovern, manager Of
the state Mill and Elevator associa-
ton, also will attend, as will the man
ayers of q number Of country elevat-
ors. The meeting probably VIII decide
on some manner Of Weighing the cars
Of. grain before they leave the district
In which they r loaded. \

Efficiency and the Public.

The %unceasing debate between
advocates of public and private
ownership Of utilities and natural
resources, Is frequently clouded
by misuse Of the term efficiency.
Private ownership advocates think
in terms Of theoretical efficiency:
whereas their opponents geners
ally have commercial efficiency in
mind. Commercial efficiency
measures results in terms Of rela-
tive value to the public. Thus
what difference does it make to
the public IL the steel trust can
make steel more quickly and moro
cheaply than steel plants in other
countries If the price this public
must pay for steel Is higher? OF
what advantage to the public is 4
beautifully equipped power plant
in private hands IL Its price to
the public II. double what public
ownership could provide? z
The profits Of the private mon
opolist represent not efficiency by
inemciency for the public. Our
society Is terribly ineflcient be-
cause great private interests are
30 efficient in extracting private
profits from it. 1.&S 's'z'

PROTECTION OF WOMEN

The State Of North Dakota has been
compelled to bring suit in the state
supreme court to compel the railroads
of the state to comply with the new
eight-hour day for women. Many
women employed by the railroads as
telegraph operators and clerks are
affected by the new law, which was
passed by the last legislature. The
law protects women employed BY the
railroads, section 1 reading, in part:
mo female shall be employed in any

nshment OF. in any express or transpor-
tation company in the State Of North
Dakota more than eight hours" D.
spite these plain provisions, the rail-
roads operating in the state have made
1t necessary for suit to be brought, 20
that the health Of the women OF the
state may be protected. .
