Some Figures From the Money Bills.

Assuming that there will be no
changes in the amounts carried by the
agriculture appropriation bill now
that the Presidents veto has been
sustained, and ignoring for the sake
Of present comparisons any changes
that may be made in the vetoed sun
dry civil bill, some interesting totals
are found in the full list Of supply
bills for the current fiscal year COM
pared with those Of last year.
The grand total of all appropria-
tions to carry on the Government I'M
til July 1, 1920, Is $780,, 597 ,2S3. So
which is a decrease In amount from
last years grand total Of SIC. 154, 497,-

there were increases in a number Of
bills, including nearly 1892 900, 900 In
the bill called the Post Office bill al
though $78,000,00O Is carried In that
measure for road construction. OF
the remaining increase about $25, 000,-
900 is to cover increases In the pay Of
post Office employees.
Every total in the list Of supply

THE sHAHTuvc DECISION.
Professor Ladd's Defence Of Japan
AnsMered By . Chinese.

To THE EDITOR OF THE suH--Str: Per-
NIT me to reply to the defence Of the
Shantung decision by Professor George
Trumbull Ladd, the latest claimant Of
the honor to uphold that Japan should be
rewarded as stanch ally and that China
should be punished as doubtful friend.
The time Is fast approaching when
Senator Lodges demand for the facts
about the alliance that was secretly made
between Germany and Japan will come
through the Senate. Until then Professor
Ladd will not know how quickly he has
belittled himself by telling the American
people that II 10 not Japan who is an
unfaithful ally but, as he puts II, 1T Is
China.
deny the assertions that several thou
sand informed Germans, civil and mill
tary, as he states. are being still toler-
ated, with their propagandism against
Japan and the United States, in China.
Professor Ladd will be surprised to
know that the Chinese High Commits
sioner in charge OF the Germans in
termed in China 10 the Chinese Consul
General, Or. Chilien Tsur in New York,
who can verify my statement that quite
year ago all the Germans interned as
enemy aliens were sent to Australia.
This point shows clearly that Professor
Ladd is easily misintormed, though
styled as q distinguished orientalist and
an authority Of Japanese and Chinese
politics.
II Professor Ladd's words might be
taken with all seriousness when he ad-
mits that the sympathy shown by q
multitude OF friends Of China In this
country has motives behind 1t all and
that they are largely influences growing
out among the American people Of jeal-
ousy fostered by political conditions and
most strongly backed by the greed Of

rather than the Chinese from the Ameri-
cans As the world begins to take the
enlightened view It cannot be tolerated
any longer that the people of either the

With reference to Professor Ladd's
reciting the catalogue Of dismal war and
Of the constant strife In China-China In

is not aware that It took America more
than a dozen years TO be organised after

hearing to-day.
The Commission began n long sitting
in Washington to take testimony as
to what ails the street railways OF the

sented facts and statistics to show

representatives are apparently ready To

investors have lost heavily.
The preliminary testimony was TO the
general effect that street railways are

kans could unite in one purpose, the
overthrow of the Turkish Power in
Europe. The alliance was of slow
growth, beginning with the convention
between Serbia and Bulgaria In 1909.
The Greco Bulgarian understanding
followed and finally the pact was
formed which drew in Montenegro In
1912. Europe was outwitted by the
formation Of this alliance; 1t had not
been let into the secret and II was I'M
aware OF what had actually taken
place until the alliance was completed
and oil of the nations were In po-
sition to carry out fully the military
agreements by which they had bound
themselves.
But conditions to-day are entirely
different from what they were in
1912; Austria and Russia are no
longer struggling for n mastery in the
Balkans, and Turkey has been driven
out Of Macedonia and most Of Thrnce.
1t is scarcely possible that Greece
would enter into an alliance with Bull
garia at the present, and Serbia and
Montenegro have become integral
parts of Jugo-Slavia. Could 1t be,
then, with this new state that Greece
Is TO form an alliance, reviving the
old league only so far as Serbia and
Montenegro are concerned? Such a
confederation might succeed in a
present control of the Balkans; 1t
could at least offer a united opposi-
tion to the encroachment Of outside
nations upon Albania and the eastern
Adriatic coast. But II would merely
give another and a more dangerous
character to the ancient Balkan con-
troversy. 1t could not make for the
peace of southeastern Europe.
II the troublesome Balkans are to
repeat their performance Of seven
years ago by springing this confeder-
alton on the world as surprise, the
League Of Nations might have pretty
mess on its hands to start with. Or
will 1t take time by the forelock and
strange this little league at Its birth?

Traffic Swamps Line Because
of Inability to Increase
Facilities.

The Long Island Railroad. which on
.he word OF the president has tho
densest passenger tfafic OF any o,
the railroads under Federal control has
been having its troubles, due to the ex-
traordinary increase of travel and ina
nility to get extra facilities to meet T.
Two personal appeals have been made 10
the operating force to put forth their
best efforts TO serve patrons with as little
cause for complaint AS possible.
During the war and since demobiliza-
ton began" Ralph Peters, Federal man
aser said yesterday. this railroad has
moved between 100000 and 5000. 900
soldiers to and from the camps on Long
Island. besides carrying tens Of thou
sands of visitors. Even to-day we are
handling from 10000 to 10000 troops
daily.
The regular business OF the railroad
has grown 30 rapidly that. taking only
me communication business, there are
e'oOO more persons committing daily than
last year at this time, which means
10000 additional daily passengers, re
curing several additional trains Of eight
cars each morning and evening"
Between July 8 and July 7, Mr.. Peters
said the road broke all records by carry
l.4aS.600 passengers. This is 2s per
cent moro than were carried in the
same five day period OF 1913. IT think

been absolutely impossible TO buy. Dor
row or steal passenger cars"
In the nrst OF the appeals to the force
Z. D. Baker, general superintendent
calls for 100 per cent team work In
the second he speaks OF complaints from
patrons regarding shortage OF cars
which he says 10 due to the inability OF

ORDERS. because the Government took ali
the steel and iron ouput for war pur-
poses and to the great number OF troops

ments require an average of nifty cars

added:
IF the public is made aware Of the
real facts II unquestionably will result
In better feeling toward the railroad
and relieve some OF the unjust criticisms
THAT are now being made. The manage
ment Is doing the very best II can under
most unusual circumstances"
