PROTEST ACTION
OF 0MSK LEADERS
(By Associated Press,

VLAD1VOSTOK, Aug. 1. - The in
terallied railway commission here dis
patched formal protest yesterday to
the Omsk government Of Admiral Kol-
chalk against violations of the interal-
lied agreement regarding the opera
ton Of railways. The communication
demands that the Russians live up to
the agreement which they signed, and
are party to. If the government ex-
poets allied aid. The removal Of Cen
eral Semenoff from the zone where he
can interfere with railroad operations
also is asked.
The violations have chiefly been
through the military station COM
mandants, who sell tickets, allot cars
and attempt general supervision Of
traffic. duty assigned to the techni-
cal board Of the American railway
commission to Russia under the chair

The chief disturber Is alleged to be-
General Semenoff. who appears to be
the dominating figure in the Trans

A Prediction on the Treaty

Millions of words remain to be spoken by
President Wilson on his proposed tour and by
senators before the peace treaty is finally acted
upon Weeks will pass, and tremendous efforts
will be made throughout a hot, muggy summer
to shape developments in this way or that. Fin
ally, when everyone has had his say-and now
come to the prediction-the senate will ratify
the treaty with reservations or interpretations
about as suggested by Charles E. Hughes and
former President Taft
Then, when the dust has subsidized, we shall
find that we are in the League of Nations but
that the league cannot interfere with matters like
the tariff or immigration, that it cannot have any
chance to say yea nay as to administra-
ton of the Monroe doctrine. We shall be able to
leave the league when we like, and congress can
do as it likes about entering any new wars that
come along.
Friends of the administration will say that
these reservations merely elaborate and make
more definite terms already in the covenant of
the league. Opponents will say that by standing
out they have kept the United States in an abso-
lutey independent position, so that it can do ex-
actly likes in the future, it has done in the
past. There is merit in both contentious.
What the league will amount to will depend
entirely upon the spirit of future American ad-
ministrations. If Washington in the future is
disposed to act with the other powers and help
keep the world on an even keel the league will be
a success. If forthcoming administrations are in
clined to tell the rest of the world to go hand,
the league will collapse
The world needs steadying very badly. Con-
ditions everywhere are dangerously shaky. Amer
lea is today richer and more powerful than any
three other nations, and her influence as stabil-
izing force can be of incalculable benefit to the
rest of the world if she chooses to say, in bust
ness-ike way: Let US have peace"

The Forward Movement of the Friends


Considerable emphasis is being placed on the
Forward Movement of Friends by speakers and
leaders of the Friends church who are attending
the young Friends conference at Earlham college.
Almost every denomination in the United
States was stimulated into aggressive action by
the World war. The energizing influence of the
was manifested not only in efforts to raise
big funds for the prosecution Of UNCONVENTIONAL
work, the Friends having set goal of $5,OOOOO0,
but also in enlarged vision of service and per-
sonal responsibility.
The program of the Friends is an ambitious
one, but quite within the realm of attainment.
The selection of man, trained in executive res
possibility and with administrative ability, shows
that the church an institution, is beginning to
see the necessity of selecting experts and trained
workers for the execution of special tasks. The
selection of Levi Pennington to direct the For
ward Movement illustrates the point
Leaders of all denominations realize that
changed conditions demand changed methods in
attaining ends and adapting their organza-
tons with that end in view, all of which will re-
dound to the growth of the church.

would have special committee looking after its
appropriations. It has not.
When was secretary Of war found, to my
establishment, that the appropriations for the
support of the war department were contained
in several quite separate appropriation bills
handled by six or seven different committees and
subcommittee of the house of representatives
alone, and when I prepared rough, tentative
budget for the use of these committees and pre-
sented it to several of them, was told that it
was the first time that these different commit
tees had had brought to their attention items of
appropriation which were under simultaneous
consideration by other committees. Many of
those items overlapped. Appropriations for
field artillery ammunition were being made by
two entirely different committees.
One committee had charge of the construction
of military barracks in the United States while
another committee had charge of the construc-
ton of military barracks in Hawaii. One COM
mittee had charge of the construction of barracks
in an army post while the hospital at that same
post was being constructed under the supervision
of different committee
Emplacements for guns in the canal zone were
being supervised by one committee and emplace-
ments for guns in the Philippines by another
committee The result of such lack Of co-or-
dination is inevitable.
There is no comparison of similar COSTS and
congress is at the mercy of any private interest
which can get before one of these committees
and on an ex parte hearing impress them with
the desirablity Of appropriation.
