Belgium Opposes Steal
Of National COlOrS
By German Republic

BRUSSELS. June 26.-(By Mai}-
Belgian patriotic societies are forming
to take action to prevent the German
republic from adopting the Belgian ma
tional colors-black. yellow and red
for its flag. Intense indignation is
manifested. and this is bit heightened
by the plea that tho colors in the new
German emblem will be disposed OF hori-
zontally instead of vertically.
It is generally supposed that the Bel
gian colors OF today were chosen by the
patriots of. 1880. but the rcvolutionists
of that year merely took for themselves
the black. yellow and red which had
been legendary ir. Flanders and the Bra
bant since the Middle Ages
The princes Of Flanders bore on their
arms a black Hon on O field or gold.
and those Of Brabant q golden Don on
a field Of black. The trappings OF both
were red. From the thirteenth century,
therefore, the Belgian colors have been
black. yellow and red.
An argument against the use or the
colors by the Germans Ia that the BEL
rtans have actually employed the black.
yellow and rcd horizontally In their EN-
blems-notably In their mercantile rags
so they consider they still have pr
GRITTY on that disposition OF the colors
az we'll as the vertical use. The horizon
tai bars were adopted by tho patriots
Who oyerthrew the Austrians in 1888.
In 1880. the first flag to ny from the
Hotel de Vile in Brussels was the hori-
zontal-barred black. yellow and rcd.
The Belgians scorn the plea OF the
Germans that they have the right to use
the colors because OF their use by the
ancient Germanic empire. of which Aus
tria was the center. They assert that
tbe confusion resulting from the en-
ployment by Germany as we'll as Bel
rum Of the black. yellow and red Womb
be embarrassing to the nation which had
fought four years to keep it's coiors IN

aUr FROM MORGAN.

LONDON. June 20.-The gift by J. P.
Morgan. Of New York, to the Victoria
and Albert Museum of the collection OF
stained glass, which occupied five win
dows Of one of the Corridors caused
widespread satisfaction here.
The collection is Of peculiar interest
to students and designers. The earliest
items Of the glass arc four small panels
Of French glass of the latter part OF the
18th century. Two OF these represent
scenes from The Temptation in Tho
Wilderness" The subjects OF the other
panels, evidently contemporary. are
the Miracle of tho Feeding Of the Five
Thousand" and a scene from the life OF
St. Nicholas.
The rest Is entirely Of German and
Swiss origin and provides material Tor
studying the distinctive developments
Of art. particularly in the Rhine Valley
towards the close OF the Gothic period
and during the Renaissance.

A National Budget System

WASHINGTON, May 29. Representative
James w. Good of Iowa, chairman of the
House Committee on Appropriations, has
introduced bill to provide budget sys-
tenn which is expected to save the country
hundreds of millions of dollars. In ex
planation of it, he says:
''To understand the bill one must at
| first be familiar with the details of the
present system. IL is now the duty of
the heads of the several executive de-
partments and officers of Independent
government esta blishments to furnish
the Secretary of the Treasury on or be-
fore the 18th of October of each wear
their annual estimates of the funds nee
essary Tor their respective departments,
for insertion IN the book of estimates 1t
is the practice for the head of each ex-
ecutive department to ask his bureau
chiefs to submit their estimate When
all are in they are submitted to the Sec
retary of the Treasury, who has no power
to change them. The estimates of one
cabinet officer bear no relation to those
OF another Bureaus under different ex-
, ecutlve departments, doing a similar
| work, are thus stimulated in rivalry. No
one CO. ordlnates or attempts to CO. ordi-
nate the activities of the several depart
+ ments This has resulted in Implications
and therefore eXtravapance and inef-
hclency. The estimates are patchwork
/ and not structure. A great deal of the
time of the committees of Congress is
taken up in exploding the visionary
schemes of bureau chiefs for which no
administration would be willing to stand
sponsor.
my bill provides for the crea ton of a
Bureau of the Budget under the Presi-
dent 1t will have chief and a neces-
sery working force. The President will
then be furnished with all the informa
ton needed by him to prepare budget
to present to Congress each year. The
budget will show the necessary expenses
on the one hand and the sources of reve-
nue. on the other. The President will be
responsible for it, Under the present
system no one is responsible If dupi-
cations occur the executive will be judged
accordingly. The bill substitutes team
work in the executive departments and
bureaus for the unorganized Individual
work of each of the ten members of the
cabinet and the many bureaus under
them. 1t also provides for a comptroller
general, to have authority over all the
auditors of all the accounts of all the de-
partments and to be responsible entirely
to Congress. He would be chosen by
Congress, and therefore could criticise
| extravaganza and inefficiency without
fear of removal"
