gressional Committee; Representative
Mondell, majority leader, and Repre-
sentative Good, chairman of the Ap-
preparations Committee, that this saw
ing had been effected, deliberate at
tempts to mislead the people"
Tie reductions of appropriations
made by the Republican majority had
been made possible, he said. only by
the efficiency Of the Democratic heads
of the executive departments. Had
the full amounts appropriated by the
House last February been made avail
able only those amounts found neces-
sary would have been spent.
"The Republicans have saved not a
penny" he said. "The money would
have been saved anyway"
The Democratic spokesman consist
emily declined to yield even when those
that he was making incorrect state
ments of fact.
Mondell Answers Him
Representative Mondell took the
floor when Kitchin had finished.
"My statement Of savings effected
during the first thirty days of this
session was absolutely correct" he
said. eve have heard the remarkable
how much Congress appropriated only
a certain amount would be spent. If
that be true, let US dsband our APP
preparations Committee and put
through the estimates exactly as they
are submitted by the executive depart
mentS.
every department of the govern
ment is filling the corridors of the
Senate, lobbying Senators for appro-
priations even above their own esti-
mates. If we had followed the dictates
of the executive departments, instead
Of saving S1,50O,0O 900 we would have
increased expeditures by $4,000 100000.
We propose to cut these appropriation
bills as low as is consistent with good
public policy"
The debate gave rise to frequent
bursts of partisan applause on alter
nate sides of the House as Democratic
and Republican leaders scored telling
points.
Gives Democrats Credit
Representative Kitchin attacked Ma
jority Leader Mondell for his "attempt
to mislead the public into believing
that the Republicans had done in thirty
days what the Democrats were unable
to do in three months at the last ses-
sion.
"It is a barefaced fraud, master
piece of deception" he said. "Why
didn't he tell the whole truth, that
the Democratic House passed every
one of the appropriation bills, and
THAT the Senate Democrats would
have put all Of them on the statute
books had it not been for the indie
cent filibustering tactics of the Re
publicans? No one knows that better
than Mr.. Mondel. If the Democrats
had resorted to the same tactics this
session the Republicans could not have
passed these bills in six months. But
the Democrats co0perated in getting
these bills through to a man."
Mr. Kitchin said it was the "wise,
diligent and efficient work" of the

War Department that had made pos
sible the reduction in the army appro-
priation bill When the army bill
was passed by the House at the last
session, he explained, it was the i'm
preston that the army could not be
reduced to less than an average of
100000 men during the next fiscal
year. Since that time it had been
found that it could be reduced to 400
900.
"If the appropriation for a 5o0,o 900
army had gone through, of course, the
unexpended balance would have been
turned back into the Treasury" he as
serted, while the Republican side
jeered.
The same thing was true of the navy,
MIR. Kitchin claimed. The 1925, 100000
claimed to have been saved by the Re-
publcans would have been saved any
way.

COBLENZ, June 27.-Positively the
last recommendations for awards for
bravery in the European war, so far as
the American expeditionary forces are
concerned, were filed here to-day at the
Office of the inspector general of the
army of occupation.
Colonel A. c. Read, inspector gen.
eral, asked General Liggett to write let
ters Of highest praise for the heroic
conduct of Captain Fromand Smith, of
Springfield, Ill.,; Corporals T. L. Duffy,
of Harrison, N. j.; John Healy, OF 274
West Eighteenth Street, New York
City; Cicero Chulman, 112 Keap
Street. Brooklyn, and Private Oscar
Zwald, Fort Dodge, Iowa.
Saved Scores of Lives
BY rushing fearlessly into burning
freight car loaded with live shells and
extinguishing the fire at great risk, they
undoubtedly saved scores of lives and
possibly nearly million dollars worth
of munition stores for Uncle Sam at
the Mulheim munitions store yard, near
Coblenz. Though no fuses were at
tached to the shells, they were of the
high explosive variety and were so hot
that smoke was issuing from the fuse
holes.
A German girl employed at the mu-
nitions dump carried pals Of water,
while the men grasped the smoking
shells in their hands and poured water
into the fuse holes. All suffered badly
burned hands. If the fire had not been
promptly subdued it would have re-
suited in blowing up a whole trainload
Of shells, to which the burning car was
attached, together with, possibly, many
nearby buildings filled with high explo>
sives, stored there for emergencies,
which the signatures by the Germans
of the peace treaty will make unnec-
essary. The fire was the result of
spontaneous combustion of phosphorus,
with which the car had been loaded
previously.
Prevent Big Explosion
The inspector general also recon-
mended Sergeant A. E. Carlson, of
Boone. Iowa, for the Distinguished Ser
vice Cross for heroic action in the
same munitions yards, when a box of
hand grenades exploded. Carlson, as
sisted by Lieutenant j. W. Strubel, of
Cincinnati, disposed of the live gre
nades, which were likely to explode at
any moment, by throwing them, Stru-
bel picking them from the floor of a
motor truck and handing them down to
New-York tribune., 1919-06-28
Carlson, who hurled them out of the

way.
Strubel will possibly receive General
Liggett's personal commentator, while
the inspector generals department, af-
ter thorough examination of wit
nesses, declared that Carlson is en-
titled to the cross. This action again
saved the munitions yard from a seri-
Gus explosion, as a trainload of gas
shells was few yards from the ex-
ploding grenades.
When Sergeant Carlson receives the
cross, he will be the last American to
win the coveted honor in the European
war.

THE high cost Of living is not due

has not struck, walked out or other

increased his effort. extended his

Clash. in the North of

Londonderry. Aug. 16.-Rioting and
footing occurred In this city during
last night and early this morning.
Troops charged on mobs but did not
fire any shots. The soldiers, however,
were met with q volley Of stones when
they attempted to break up a ma
tionalist demonstration. The none
tary loss from looting and from dam
age to property is estimated at
thousands Of pounds by police au-
thorities.
The trouble started when national
lists set fire to q number of tar barrels
which had been collected beneath an
arch over which was displayed a pic
ture Of Edward De Valera, president
OF the irish republic, and sang the
Soldiers song" Unionists responded
by singing the national anthem.
Troops Called Out.
One force Of troops kept the crowds
apart while other detachments at
tempted to clear the streets. charging
upon the thronss repeatedly.
Bricks and stones were hurled at
the charging troops, one soldier being
seriously hurt. The nationalists' were
finally driven back to their own quar-
tors.
Windows were smashed and shops
were looted by the crowds, and the
city was in darkness the entire night.
More rioting is feared tonight.
