SUPPORTED BY SMOOT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. Charges of
the most wasteful expenditures during
the war were laid against the Wilson
Administration and the Democratic
Congress by Senator Penrose (Pa-) to-
day. He charged that approximately
half OF the vast sum appropriated in
the war had been thrown away in
needless appropriations.
His speech was a scorching excoria- =
ton Of the business policy OF the Ad-
ministration and was accepted in the
Senate as voicing the keynote OF the
Republicans on economies which will
be urged and the closer scrutiny of
Government expenditures which must
be practised IL the Republican Con-
gress soon to come into being runs
true to form.
Senator Smoot CCtah) interposed
suggestions in the course of Senator
Penrose's address In regard to the ag-
gregate appropriations by the present
Congress.
Senator Penrose had reviewed the
extraordinary list now on the calendars

Senator Penrose In his review OF the
projected raid on the Treasury spared no
branch OF Government and no school OF
legislative economy in the general round
up. He paid particular attention to the
deficiencies of the United States Railroad
Administration, asserting there had been
relentless waste In that special war
agency. He referred to a pending reso-

the railroads to handle food products

LONDON, Feb. l2.-Premler Lloyd

The occasion was brought about by the
Right Hon. Rupert Guinness, Unionist
asking in Parliament whether the Pre-
mier was prepared to press TO the ut
most reparation from Germany, and also
to make Germany pay 10 the full extent
OF her resources He also pressed for
more information as to the status Of
the British colonies at the Peace Con-
ference.
I'VE have had far too much Of the
particular panacea which America is
supporting at the conference" said Capt.
Guinness. "Since the days of Mahomet
no prophet has been listened to with
more superstitious respect than Presi-

Mr.. Lloyd George began his reply by
saying that reparation By Germany was
the election pledge given by the Gov

the Cabinet. The Government he added
stood by every word OF this pledge.

PARIS, Feb. 12.-Russian circles in
Paris. which may be described briefly
as a conglomeration Of all the defunct
Russian governments, where the for
mer Premiers of the Car and revolu-
tionary Ministers mingle in a common
fraternity. are resounding with all
kinds OF rumors Of an impending radi-
cal transformation Of the Russian sit
uation within a week.
The most definite Of these reports
has 1t that there is to be a sudden rev.
olutionary coup for the overthrow Of
the Soviets in Moscow and Petrograd
The movement 1t is said. is to take
the form OF a convocation OF all the
existing anti -Bolshevist governments
In Russia first to issue a protest
against the proposed conference at
Prinkipo, in the Princes Islands, and
second to decide upon a proclamation
to the world that a federation Of Rus
sian states is being formed and will be
ready to enter the League of Nations
as soon as the Allies extend the help
so much desired BY the Russian lead
ers here.
Conference Prospect Brighter.
In the meantime the prospect for the
success OF the Prtnkipo conference is
brighter than 1t has ever been heretofore
and there is every indication now that
the meeting will serve funy its intended
purpose In bringing out in definite form
tAs aims and aspirations Of at least tho
leading factions OF Russia Already four
of the Russian governments have signi-
fed their intentions to participate, and
there Is little doubt row that enough Of
the others will take similar action to
make the meeting a success.
Those which have accepted the invita-
tiop. 10 confer at Prlnkipo are the
Ukraine, the Crimes. the Bolsheviki and
the government of Gen. Den!nine. There
are a score or more OF governments in

VOTER MUST BE
 UNPREJUDICED
 SAYS LECTURER
Home Economics and Civics Branch of 2Oth Century Club Told How the Ballot Regulates Affairs of the Government.

The Home Economics and Civics branch of the Twentieth Century club met yesterday at the Y. w. C.. A. and listened to an interesting talk on "Women Voters" by Alexander Murray, a local attorney, and to an explanation of the aims and pur- poses of the Opportunity SchooP' by Mrs Etta Clifford Young, of Phoe- nix, who is here as the representa- tive of the Department of Vocational Education.
 MT. Murray explained that the sue cess of any government depended on the intelligent and boardminded use of the ballot.
 He said in part:
 "No higher function could be ex- ercised by any people than that of the ballot All functions of govern nfent will be purely or impurely ad- ministered in the same measure as the ballot is purely or impurely func- tioned.
 How can we expect that the right to vote will be intelligently or hon. estly used if the majority of voters employ it for dishonest or selfish purposes. It is peculiar that the ma jority are so obsessed that we put our personal interest ahead of the pub lie interest. As long as the public vote shows that it is impelled by personal interest, just so long will public officials be elected who will employ their office to personal ends. %"Once arrived at the place where we can divorce personal interest and right there will be fewer mistakes made"
 Mrs. Young explained that the vo- cational training, which will be given in the Opportunity School to be opened here, is the result of revival in interest and revolution in meth ods in school training. Under what is known as the SmithH Hughes act, the work is subsidized by the federal and state governments\ assisted by the community. The motto of the school is Any amount of instruction to anybody, at any time, free"
 Students must be over IA years ot age and regularly employed. It is intended particularly to interest adults who may feel that in their daily work, whatever it may be, housework as we'll as business or professional, they may go to the school and get instruction from those who have had actual experience along the lines in which they want infor- nation.

LABOR LEADERS DENOUNCE THE

WASHINGTON, Sept 23-Three of the foremost leaders of organized la bor, before the senate interstate com merce Committee today, denounced in unqualified terms sections of the Cummins railroad reorganization bill, which would prevent railroad workers from striking
 Samuel Gompers, president Of the American Federation of Labor; War ren S. Stone, chief of the Engineers Brotherhood, and Glenn E. Plumb, author of organized labor's solution of the railroad problem and general counsel for the brotherhoods, in turn presented varying arguments but all emphasizing the single point that in their view no power could constitu- tionally prevent men leaving work at their will.
 'T do not wish to live single day after that right has been taken away from workingmen," MT. Gompers said with more than a touch of indigna- tion. He served notice on the com mittee that the anti-strike provision, if enacted as law, would not be obeyed.
 With full sense of my responsi- bility," he told senators, 'T say that l should have no hesitancy about participating in strike after it's passage than I do now. wouldn't stop strikes; it would just make law breakers"
 There was considerable reference to the Plumb plan, which provides for government ownership of the rail roads and joint operation by the pub lie and employees, when it's author opened his statement. He declared that strikes would be beneficial in the future, because workers would use them to force down prices in stead of merely to secure a greater share of the cost of production, and allowing prices to increase. Puzzled senatorial questioners dealt at some length with this theory, but it did not shake his conclusion.
 Likewise MT. Plumb made refer ence to approaching revolution
