OF
NEXT CONGRESS
Republican Member Talks Of
More Expenditures Than
We Have Yet Made
JUST AS WE EXPECTED

Washington, April 4.-The pass
ing of the billion dollars" congress
es of pre-war days and the coming
for the peace period of -four bill
lion dollar congresses was pre-
dicted last night in statement by
Representative Good of Iowa, who
will be chairman of the Appropria-
tions committee in the next House.
Reviewing the financial problems
to be faced by the next Congress,
Mr.. Good estimated that the appro-
priations necessary for the various
government expenditures" in the
fiscal year ending June 20, 1921,
would total more than $4,000, ,000,-
600. Strictest economy. he added,
would be necessary to hold expen-
ditures down even to this total.
''The next Congress-" said Mr.
Good in his statement, "will be
brought face to face with many new
and intricate problems and many Of
them will call for large expenditures
of money.
while difficult to make relia-
BILE forecast as to what the expenses
of the government will be for the
fica1 year ending June 80, 1921, it
is reasonably safe to assume that
the executive departments will ear
nestly urge appropriations at least
as large as those appropriated for
the fiscal year ending June so, 1920
for such appropriations were made
to administre these departments on
peace basis.
If we assume, however, that both
the military and naval programs
will be greatly reduced and that our
standing army will be limited to
250,00 men, it will require rather
strict economy to bring the regular
annual supply bills under $2.150.
100000"
Mr.. Good estimated that the ap-
preparation made by Congress for
the war period and for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1920, total1ed
more than SAT, 900. The
revenue to meet these appropria.
tions he estimated at $16,657, ,000,.
900 to be derived through customs
receipts and income and other taxes
and $25,SSS, 100000 to be raised
from the sale of bonds, notes and
war savings stamps.

legislature here seking independ-
ence for the island were told by.
Secretary Baker today that he bea
ieved he was yoicing the senti-
ments of President Wilson that the

liberty too well to deprive any oth4
er nation of it. The Commission is
composed of prominent Philippines

the Philippines had done all they
could on the side of the allies for

.PETROGRAD RISES
AGAINST BO[SHEV|k
Revolution Has Broken Out in
Petrograd in the Shape of
Strikes
NO BREAD IN PETRoGRAD

London, April 4.-ReportS thaC q
revolution against the Soviet Gov
ernment has broken out in Petro-
grad are supported by an official
Russian wireless despatch received
here, which says that there is a Sc
rious strike of railwaymen in the
Petrograd region. The strike, it is
said, was prompted by the Menshe-
Wiki and the Social Reyolutionaries..
The message reads:
There is no transport and con-
sequently there is no bread in Pet
rograd. The Mensheviki and the
Social Revolutionaries are calling
out the railwaymen and railway
communication has been stopped.
.'The Social Revolutionaries are
the agents of Denakine, Kolchak,
and the allied imperialists.
Referring to the reports that Len
ines Government had made propos-
ais of peace through American chan
nels, Andrew Bonar Law, the Gov
ernment spokesman, said in the
House of Commons Wednesday that
he believed there was no shadow of
foundation for such reports. Nei-
ther he nor the Premier, with whom
he had communicated, had heard a
word about the matter.

respondent in a dispatch dated

'.Lenine and Trotzky have come

lied himself with the 'Intellectuals'

who has continued his appeals to

Moscow and ePetrograd has become
SO serious that there is promise of a
popular uprising against the entire
Bolshevist regime.
s.Lenine is head of-the Govern
ment. Trotzky has military con-
troll. The basis of the conflict which
has arisen within the Bo1sheyist
councils is Lenine's desire to in
c1ude a number of eIntelIctua1s' in
the Government, which is hercly re-
sented by Trotzky and his adher-
ents.. Another point of great con-
fict between Trotzky and Lenine
is the attitude of the latters toward
the Allies.

Democrats and Republicans are pre-

the ballots when they will exercise
the only form OF suffrage accorded
them-the election OF delegates to the

privilege is not granted by law, but
by custom. Thus the anomaly will

representatives who in turn will be

Men Bathers
Real Shock to
Beach Modesty
WASHINGTON. d. c. Aug &

Washington. D. c., Aug. 8, 1919.
Dear Sir: I noticed an article In q
daily paper here, The Herald. to the
effect that some sort of kick had been
made in regard to the scantiness of
attire worn by the women bathers of
Atlantic City.
While am not bather, don't even
swim, was brought up some time ago
when prudishness, which you claim
not to be guilty Of. was rampant, on
the other hand If I did go into the
water. I am sure would be better
off with as little clothing on as pos
sible, and I just want to say this in
defense of the women.
Why can't you say something about
the awful looking men who parade
arosnd with nothing on but little
scrap OF a bathing suit. which fails
utterly to cover up their unsightly.
ungodly. hair-covered bodies. They
are as brazen as brass about it too
and it is enough to make a woman
sick. They should be compelled TO
wear stockings and long stockings
at that; also something to cover up
their Ishmaelitish appearance on
their arms and chest, and their gen.
eral appearance is certainly less at
tractive than that OF the women.
They are SO repulsive that l always
try not to see them, look slanting or
sidewise as much as possible. and
really no matter what little a woman
had on she couldn't look as repulsive
as those men. Don't let their bath
ing suits worry you; II is all in the
mind. and if women walked around
that way on the streets every day
you would think nothing of 1t, while
those men would always and ever
lastingly be repulsive.
Honestly Mr.. Editor, those men do
look awful.
What about them?
MRS. IT. B. HARRIS.
