ALLIES READY
To RUSH FORCES
ON into BERLIN
Liggett Certain Not toFavor
Reduction of Our Army
Of Occupation.
LOOK FOR AGREEMENT
Staff Officers Here Believe
German Delegates Will
Sign Treaty in End.

Gen. Liggett, commander OF the
American army Of occupation. is GER
tain to make no recommendation for
a reduction of our forces along the
Rhine until the German peace dele
gates give unmistakable signs of re-
garding the armistice as an uncondi-
tional surrender. and therefore sign
the peace treaty
This is the belief of staff officers
here They also think that any evil
dence OF obstinacy on the part Of the
German emissaries, which might tend
to indicate rejection of the terms. will
be followed by a central mobilization
of all the allied armies for Immediate
occupation Of Berlin. and the dicta-
ton of peace there.
Our army of occupation consists OF
approximately $4,000 soldiers and Ma
rires. The English still have 80. 900
men in conquered territory, while the
French army is much larger, and is
ready for instant action
Most army officials here believe, how
ever. that the present recalcitrant at
titude Of the Germans was to have
been expected. Even in victory Ger
many lacked magnanimity. they say,
and howls Of dismay are therefore in
order in defeat. The verbal pyro-
te Clinics that are now being exuded
will soon subside. for Gernany's one
hope is peace and she will not have it
until the treaty is signed.
AS a purely precautionary measure,
though, there will be no unnecessary
reduction Of the army of occupation
for the full period of fifteen days in
which the German plenipotentiaries
have to examine the peace document
At the expiration Of that time, If they
have not signed on the dotted line, "
they will be escorted back into Ger
many by anywhere from 100000 to
. ,ooo, 900 armed men.
There is not the slightest opportunity
for an invading allied force finding
serious armed opposition to its prog
ress toward Berlin. Marshal Foch
saw to this in the formulation OF the
terms of the armistice. all of which
have been carried out.

them definitely as to the exact

At present the District is
too apt to ask for such a
quantity of things that none
of them receive the attention
they deserve. and the really
important things are over

THE effect of these replacements in

The increased cost of living, Mr..
Barnes declares. has been due entirely

FEDERAL BUDGET
MEASURE SEEMS
CERTAIN TO PASS
Senate and House Members
Now in Capital Optimis-
tic Of Success.

Members of both the Senate and
House now in Washington are op-
timistic that the long agitation for
a budget system to regulate gov
ernmental expenditures will end
with the adoption of this reform by
the coming Congress.
The announcements of Senator
Penrose. who will be chairman of
the Finance Committee. and Repre-
sentative MondelI. the new Repub-
lican floor leader in the House, that
the subject will be taken up at the
extra session. have directed the at
tention of members OF Congress now
in Washington to the urgent need
of this change in policy, and much
favorable discussion has been heard
during the last few days.
Administration fer u.
President Wilson is known to be
strongly in favor OF a budget sys-
TEN. and is expected to recommend
legislation looking to this end in
his forthcoming message. Secre-
tary of the Treasury Glass also is
giving a good deal of study to the
subject. and if called upon for his
views will undoubtedly support the
movement for reforms in making
and eNpending appropriations.
