bility of another Liberty loan un-
less Congress curtails its expendi-
lures and devises some more eco
nomical means Of making appropria-
tons, Secretary Glass stated at the
House committee hearings that he
was heartily in favor Of a budget,
and that one hundred million people
should not be asked to bear the bur-
den of the governments extrava-
gance. This burden, he pointed out,
rests more heavily on the poor than
it does on the rich, in spite of the
graduated income taxes. He said:
Fauors a Budget
81 am heartily in favor of bud
get system. Without effective con-
troll over governmental expendi-
lures and limitation Of them to the
governments income we shall bring
down upon our heads the splendid
structure which our fathers have
built, and which we have preserved.
The very success (Which you will
pardon me if l call brilliant) with
Which the Treasury has financed the
stupendous requirements imposed
upon America by the great war may
become menace. All sense of
values seems to have departed from
among US. The departments, bu-
reaus and boards, all inspired by a
laudable enthusiasm for their work,
but some by less laudable instinct
to magnify its Importance and Incl
dentally their own, lombard the
committees Of Congress with prof.
ects, some more or less meritorious,
some Of no merit whatever, but all
conceived in sublime Indifference to
the fact that the great business of
government is being run at loss
and that each one of these projects
increases the deficit of the govern
ment, and consequently the burden
to be thrown upon the great body
Of people, whether the deficit be met
by increasing taxes or by floating
additional loans"

Within the fiscal year. l have said
that there need be no more Liberty
loans. But | say to you in all
solemnity that if a prompt and i'm
mediate halt is not called to this
great peril there must be another
Liberty loan, and you gentlemen
will have to go out to the people Of
the United States and call upon
them to subscribe for bonds, the
proceeds of which are to be given
away to the we'll and strong young
men that you and I and the Ameri-
can people know went out in a
spirit of 'unselfshness, not one of
self-seeking, to fight for their coun-
try. You may ask the old men and
the widows, the school children, the
rich and the poor, who responded to
the call of their country to the num-
ber of twenty millions during the
period of the war, to respond again
to this call for donation. | hope I
shall never shrink from the per-
formance of any public duty, yet l
do not covet the task Of making such
an appeal, and I shall not willingly
be party to offering this affront to
the generous, heroic, unselfish army
and navy Of America that saved the
freedom of the world.
"The Congress may propose to
pay this gift in bonds themselves,
but that should not fool any one. If
bonds are given away to the soldiers
the issuance in that manner of those
bonds will depress the prices of ex-
listing bonds SO gravely as to imperil
the credit Of the United States and
force additional sacrifices from the
twenty million people who partici-
pated in financing the war, in pro-
viding the pay, food and munitions
which made it possible for our
splendid army to contribute deci-
sively to the great victory"

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 "nd 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.

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. Doorn 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 (or Johaniter), Of
which the ex-Kaiser as King of
Prussia is ex-offlcio the head.
AS soon as the house at Doorn 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
New-York tribune., 1919-11-23

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-
posed in their behalf, would ac-
cept gift made at the expense of
their fathers and mothers and sis
ters 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

to the patriotic movement in Hol-

the food shortage. In the fore

beautiful old stables on one side, and

Doorn for his staff.
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-
tares, but has by no means the Sc

the house and grounds is plainly

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

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,
empresses, 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
tiat seems to be above the sea level.

monotonous fiat land occupied by

and pompous, fat windmills, which

Nine Face VagranCy Charge
in South Side Police Court

Eight men and one woman were
arraigned in South Side police court
yesterday for vagrancy. All were
released on condition that they find
employment, except Samuel Palmer
and Elizabeth Diamond, negroes,
SOFA South Twenty-sixth street,
who were sentenced to 90 days each,
and Henry Pier, 2509 N Street also
negro, who was given 80 days.
Police Captain Madsen believes
that a war on vagrancy is the most
practical way Of doing away with
crime. 1t is his theory that the
idle man is dangerous. AS a result
of this policy there are few, if any,
unemployed men on the South Side.
To bear out his theory, the captain
points to decided lull in burglaries,
stick-ups and con games during the
last month.

A hog disease which is not chol-

symptoms Of influenza, is spreading
over Iowa, Nebraska and other
neighboring states, according to DR..
Fl Busman, head Of the bureau OF
animal industry. DR.. Busman is con-
Quoting rigid post-mortem, and ante

ments.
Farmers are aware that such a
disease is prevalent" said DR.. Bus
man. They have been warned not to
ship hogs affected with it. | believe
In many cases the hogs contract the
disease after leaving the premises
of the farmer. There are delays in
shipment, and more delays after they
reach the market, during which
conditions are not normal, and a
contraction of the disease is the re-
suit
Many farmers are combating the
disease by vaccination. / don't
know what results they get. The
sickness has been spreading for two
months. The hog is sick for a week
or two during which time it losses
much flesh. The disease, known as
hemorrhagic septicaemia, affects 1t
with high fever and fits of sneezing.
The hogs usually recover.
No statistics have been compiled
to show the effect on the Omaha
market. According to DIR. Busman
there was one day when eight to 10
loads were affected. OF each aver

three per cent affected. In one or
