In any rural community badly In

farmers to form rat clubs and offer
prizes for destroying the rodents. The
younger members Of the community as
well az adults should be allowed to
compete and the prizes should be
awarded periodically, as once a month.
A first, second and third prize are
suggested for those who bring in the
greatest number Of rat tails. Specific
rules governing the contests should be
made at the start, and instruction as
to proper methods Of trapping or other
wise killing rats should be part Of
the program for each meeting Of the

Boosting About His Success.
ceived by the German secret service
In 1915, when they were warned that
q lady was obtaining very important
information and passing it to suspect
ed agents in neutral countries. Maj.
Weissmann, Germany's spy expert,
made q six months search throughout
Germany, but finally confessed fail
ure to locate her. Weissmann appears
to have been among the last to sus
pect the charming Miss Westermann,
who was 4 personal friend Of his and
actually on several occasions discussed
with him the mystery Of the woman
spy who was battling the best br.ins
Of the German secret service.
Took Papers From Spy Expert.
On one occasion Weissmann cap
tured and had shot two French secret
service men who had stolen some Inn
portant documents from him. Weiss
mann was rather proud Of his success
In getting these papers back and in
having the two spies executed.
He could not help boasting about his
success to the lady and he even showed
her the papers. She appeared greatly
interested In them and lost in admira-
ton for the and skill OF her
companion. It was only when he
reached his own lodgings that the
major found the papers missing.

Who Are Trying to Capture
Her-Steals From Spy.

Paris-From the mass Of thrilling
entente spy stories, there stands out
one master mind" a young woman.
She Is Miss Irene Westermann. From
the outbreak Of the war, this mysteri-
Gus and fascinating lady, whose gifts
made her a welcome guest in many
Berlin homes, cleaned from German
high officials information of the great
est value to the allies. Despite the
price of $1,000 on her head, she worked
successfully in Germany during the
four years of war, ever a%ssociating
with and obtaining information from
the very German secret service "wiz-
ards" who were trying to capture her.
It was not until the eve of the armi.
lin secret service discovered Miss
Westermann's real work. When they
went to her apartment to arrest her
she had flown.
According to the Germans own
story, Miss Westermann obtained and
passed to agents of the entente infor-
nation regarding Germany's construc-
ton of new types of submarines, the
latest type of a%eroplanes' and the new
gun which the Germans had invented
to deal with tanks.
What the German high command evil
IDENTIFY felt most of all was the fact
that when they had arranged for the
preparation of a new poison gas, which
was to be a greater surprise to the al
lies than the first gas, this mystery
spy obtained the formula in some way
and passed it o. to the allies. The
result was that work was begun or a
new type Of respirator, and when the
gas was used 1t proved a great failure.
Toyed With German Agents.
Miss Westermann was master of the
situation in Germany. She had estab-
lished a wide connection and gave
music lessons to children in Berlin be-
fore the war. She spoke German
f1uently, and to all outward appear
ance vas a typical German girl.

" omen to Confer
With Republicans
On arty Harmony
Nerr Work Tribune
Wash hinOfo,i Bureau

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Prelimi-
nary discussions were held to-day by
delegates to the National Republican
Women's Joint Conference with the Re-
publican National Committee. sched-
uled for May % and 23. Many dele
gates are arriving in plenty of time to
talk politics and become acquainted
with other delegates before the actual
conference. Among these are Mrs.
Arthur Livermore, of New York; Mrs.
Fletcher Dobyns, of Chicago; Mrs. j.
H. Mendenhall, of Seattle; Mrs. Hunt
ley Russell, of Grand Rapids. Mich.
and Mrs. Thomas W Healy, of Arizona.
Practically no "regrets" to the invi-
tation sent out by the women's com
mlttee have been received, even from
busy members of the National Commit
tee, and it is said that with few ex-
ceptlons the state chairmen of the Re
publican organization viii attend. Mrs
Medill Mccormick, first chairman of
the Republican Women's National Com
mittee, said to-day:
The conference was absolutely ee-
sential to we'll organized canlpaiqn
and is conducted by the women for the
purpose OF informing the men what
may be expected by way of cooperation
Nothing but party problems will be
discussed, because it is not the inten-
ton Of the women to let the question
Of suffrage obstruct the purposes of
cooperation in the coming campaign
issues
The joint Republican conference be-
tween Republican men and women is
an assured success" Mrs. Mccormick
continued 1T is the first political
conference between men and women in
any party. 1t was initiated by the
women for Offering all possible aid to
the men in the coming campaign.
The reason for not discussing suf
frage is because suffrage is now GER
tain. It has been intimated That the
various Presidential poss bilities will
be talked over. but all discussion of
candidates is taboo II is obvious that
this is no time to discuss such matters.

Mccormick Plans
Renewal of Fight
For Budget System
Illinois Senator to Introduce
Several Bills to Provide
for Congressional Review
and Audit of Expenditure
Neg York Tribune
WASHINGTON Bureau

Neg York Tribune
Washington Bairedu
WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator
Medill Mccormick, of Illinois. an
nounced tonight that he would intro
duce in the Senate early this session
series of measures similar to those
he presented in the last House pro-
viding for the creation of a national
budget system.
These bills provide for the establish
ment of national budget based upon
executive responsibility and Congress
slonal audit and review. Under their
provisions the President would assums
direct responsibility for all financial
recommendations made by vre various
departments and bureaus to Congress
and Congress would assume responsi-
blllty not only for appropriations but
also for the review of the expenditures
of money appropriated.
The first measure provides that be-
fore the 18th of November each wear
the Secretary of the Treasury shall
submit to the President a statement
giving the estimated revenues of the
government for the fiscal year follow
ing, together with a statement on ex
penditures estimated as necessary for
the various departments and bureaus.
II the estimated expenditures shall
exceed the estimated revenues. the
Secretary Of the Treasury is to submit
suggestions and recommendations for
new taxes or other appropriation leg
lslatlon to meet the financial needs.
One of the principal features of the
mccormick plan is that the Secretary
OF the Treasury will have power to
eliminate items CT duplication, waste
or extravaganza. He is not allowed to
review, change or reduce the estimates
for the technical branches of the War
and Navy departments, however.
budget bureau is created in the
treasury, under the Mccormick plan.
with q director, two assistant directors
and such other employees as are needed
An initial appropriation of S125.oo is
sought
Senator Mccormick also would chance
congressional methods of appropria-
ton by creating an audit bureau. re-
sponsibie to Congress, and not to the
PRESIDENT. This bureau would review
the expenditures made by the various
departments and bureaus and report
thereon to Congress. The Mccormick
plan, in this connection. calls for the
creation of joint Congressional COM
mlttee on departmental accounts to
receive from the Controller-Auditor
General his annual audit and report on
governmental expenditurcs Tho CO..,
troller-Auditor General and his staff
are to be named by concurrent resolu-
ton of Congress.

Hylan and Hearst
Plan to Put Smith
Out of Politics
Publisher Said To Be Try
ing to Win Over Murphy
to Aid His Scheme to
Eliminate the Governor

William Randolph Hearst. backed by
Mayor Hylan and that portion of the
administration loyal to the editor-poli-
tician, is laying plans to insure the
return to private life of Governor
Smith.
According to well-informed Demo
Gratis, Hearst and the Mayor have two
plans in mind. One is persuading
Charles F. Murphy and other Demo
cratic leaders to drop Smith over
board. The other is the relaunching
OF Hearsts independence League. Local
Democrats believe Hearst will be
forced to adopt the second.
"Hearst's reputation at the Sara
toga Convention last September" said
a Democratic leader last night. was
unanimous. But if he starts a new
party. or rather revives his old per
sonal machine, the independence
League, he may have some sort of a
following"
There is belief among politicians
here that Hearst also will revive his
German newspaper, the "Deutsches
Journal" which suspended following
the refusal of the Post Office Depart
ment to give it certificate of loyalty.
This newspaper was written and edit
ed largely by Germans. Some of these
men were arrested as spies or danger
Gus enemy aliens. One of them, Albert
Sander, was convicted in the United
States Court of being head of one of
the Kaiser's spy organizations.
In the last few weeks the Hearst
press has been attacking Governor
Smith The pretexts were the appoint
ment of Joseph A. Kellogg, former ST.
preme Court Justice and counsel to the
Governor, as a member of the upstate
Public Service Commission, and the ap-
pointment of Robert Lee Luce to the
Supreme Court in this district to sue
ceed Clarence J. Shearn, who at one
time was a Hearst lawyer. 1t was re-
ported at the time that Hearst wanted
William A. De Ford, his present coun-
sci, or some other Hearst man. in Jus
tice Shearn's place
Two members Of the Mayors cabinet,

New-York tribune., 1919-05-19

titlon of Germany and other nations
when the roar Of busy factories the
world over shall replace the roar of
guns. Regardless of party lines, there
is a disposition to protect these indus
tries that the experience of the war
has shown are essential to military in
dependence, but which cannot survive
unassisted.
There is much talk of a new revenue
law, but the chances are that such a
measure will be left to the first regular
session.
A great reform for which there is
much agitation and of which something
is certain to come at'this session is the
introduction of a budget system. Repub-
ilcan leaders are careful to explain that
while they are compelled to use the word
budget, any close approach to the
budget system as known in other gov
ernments Is not possiblcJ and, perhaps.
not desirable. AS practical measure
thorough-going budget system is con-
sidered impossible for the reason that
members of Congress are not disposed to
vote themselves out of chance to
appropriate public funds Such thing
plan and supervise all appropriations
Is, therefore, considered impossible
Many are opposed to it on principle
as tending to concentrate power in the
hands of a few members, who would be
able to dominate all legislation, since
everything requiring an appropriation
would be at their mercy
The first step toward more rational
system of appropriations, Republican
leaders say, will be along the lines of
Congressional auditing of expenditures
1t is proposed to take the auditing
function from the executive and make it
entirely the creature of Congress. The
idea is that an audit conducted by the
administrative and executive side of
government, which is also the spending
side, is not real audit With an audit
ing bureau which is working for Con-
gress, and is entirely independent Of
the executive, it is believed that there
will be much more economical utili-
zation of appropriations. This indie
pendent auditing agency, being ia
miliar with expenditures, can be ad-
vantageously used to scrutinize de-
partmental estimates and advise con-
cerning proposed appropriations. Con-
gress will not have to depend on the
judgment of the spenders as to what
should be spent, but will have also the
judgment of officials whose business it
is to check expenditures
Other Measures
To Be Introduced
Some of the other measures to come
before this session are the following:
The Characterization" bill intnndea
