ment said:
"In view of the fact that all dental

Creighton University deems it its

guilty ones to the limit"
Two Deny Charge.
The attorney general after ad-
dressing the class, said that there
were two men that he absolutely
knew had nothing to do with steal

EXPENSES
Republican Members in House
Scrutinize' Appropriations;
Demand More EConimicaI
Methods of Government.

Washington, June 6.-Reduction
of government expenses by a close
scrutiny of all appropriations was
demanded Friday by republican
leaders in the house. Republican
members of the military committee,
meeting with their party's legisla-
tive steering committee, headed by
Floor Leader Mondell, were told to
make all efforts to curtail army ex-
penses without robbing any activity
of necessary funds. Similar requests
was made of other appropriation
committeeman at informal confer
ences.
Chairman Kahn told the party
leaders that the army bill authoriz-
ing $l,l00,000,000 when it passed
the house in the last congress would
be reduced by nearly $400,000,000
and later it was learned that the
naval committee expected to cut the
naval appropriation to about $780,
100000, effecting saving of more
than, $l00,000,000 over the amount
carried when the measure was in the
last congress.
Plan to Cut Railroads.
A cut in the 81 ,200,000,0O0 request
of the railroad administration also
was planned. Refusal to grant all
of the money asked for working
capital was contemplated by some
committeeman.
Work on the army appropriation
bill was completed by the military
committee and arrangements were
made for reporting it out Saturday.
According to present plans, the
bill will be taken up for consider
alton by the house Tuesday, and
acted upon Thursday.
Democratic committeeman joined
with the republicans in decreasing
the total amount carried to the low
est possible figure.
Cutting Down Army.
The largest reductions in the
measure were made possible by
authorizations on a basis of an army
of 100000 men, instead of 100000,
as recommended by the War de-
partment. This made possible de-
creases averaging from 20 to so per
cent in the appropriations for sus-
tenance. soldiers pay, transporta-
ton and regular supplies.
The transportation appropriation
was reduced from $449,000,000 to
$242, 100000, the largest reduction
made for any individual iterI.
The appropriation for sustenance
was cut from $109,000,000 to $780,
100000; pay, from S137,O00,000 to
$l07,0O0,O00, and regular supplies,
from $120000,000 to $95,000,000.
The fund for aviation was reduced
from $S3,000000 to $15,000,000, pro-
vision being made only for the main
tenance of the present air service
and experiments on a very small
scale.
Five Combat Divisions.
Representative Kahn, chairman Of
the committee, said that even
though the total appropriation was
reduced to less than >$800,000.000,
ample provision was made for taking
care of the army as it will exist dur
ing the year.
Although no legislation was car
ried in the measure regardine> the
retention of an army of occupation
in Europe, Mr.. Kahn declared that
by reducing the appropriations, the
committee had expressed "a strong
intimation of its desire to have all
the soldiers returned as soon as pos
sible."
Provision was made for the main
fenance of five combat divisions in
Europe, he said, if they were found
to be necessary, and an equal num-
Der of troops at home.
