BRYAN AT CAPITAL
IN ROLE OF HARMONIZER

Washington, September 1.-(Special)
William Jennings Bryan has come again
to Washington to compose various dis
tIrbances which now make unhappy the
capital of the nation. When last the
Nebraskan attracted attention in this
city he was busily engaged in discuss
ing with the pacifists of Congress means
by which to prevent the passing of the
resolution declaring war against Ger
| many. On this visit. the Nebraskan is
quietly indicating that it was his diplo-
macy which won the war.
Mr.. Bryan is busily engaged in i'm
pressing labor with belief that he thinks
its demands just, and a Congress which
does not grant such demands, unjust, per-
haps corrupt. To congressional commit
tees he has advocated the joint federal
and state ownership of railroads, and
has declared that private ownership was
iItolerable.
The Nebraskan declares that his wit
outran that of Woodrow Wilson by de-
cade inasmuch as the principles of the
league of nations were included by him in
his proposal for joint arbitration or in
lvestigation of difficulties between capital
and labor. He has also claimed that
what the peace commissioners accom-
plished had been previously accomplished
by him in the form of treaties nego-
tiated with many nations of the world.
Mr.. Bryan's golden voice is only a
silver voice now His nose is so aquline
that it resembles more a vultures beak
than that of the noble bird of prey. But
he is still in the ring in many respects,
and local papers point out the indica-
tons which suggest that he is still
dreaming of occupying the White House.
AT any rate, he has played the game
of the labor unions on his present visit
to the capital

OBJECT TO PUBLICATION
OF LUDENDORFF STORY

Washington, September Especial
Another call in the name of patriotism
reached out to the newspapers of the
country.
Senator Chamberlain, democrat, and
Senator Lodge, republican, have formal
ly pleaded with the newspapers that they
refrain from publishing the story of the
war written by General Ludendorff,
quartermaster general of the German
army, and generally credited with hav-
ing furnished the military genius of that
army.
Senator Chamberlain opened the discus
sion by referring to the fact that sew
eral newspapers had already advertised
their intention of printing serially the
work of the German general. When he
protested on the ground that Ludendorff
would seek to justify the brutality of
Hun armies, Senator Lodge joined him
with ardor.
While other members of the Senate re-
Trained from statement, some of them
could see no harm in the publication os
Ludendorffs story. 1t was said unof-
ficially that they would like to know
what he though of this and that, and
his explanation of the downfall of the
Teuton forces.

Women Gather at Capital
To Make Final Battle OF

At Least Hundred Birmingham Advocates of

The resolution said it would come up at
O'Clock on September if the legis-

"A resolution. ratifying the federal suf-

1T the Alabama senate kills the amend

are not discussing their chance of get

Republicans Find Fault
With Wilson's Expense
Bryan Again in Washington in Role of Harmonizer.
Certain Senators Protest Against Publication of
Ludendorfs Story of the War
BY HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, September 1.-(Special)
Mr.. Wilson's expense account was $780,
600, and while Congress will authorize
the payment, Congress will proceed to
talk in highly critical language.
AS the President indicated in his
statement to Congress, the cost of the
peace commission in view of the abnor-
NAL prices which obtain, was modest, es-
pecially when it is remembered that the
commission numbered 1900 people. At the
same time, certain items will demand at
tention, and furnish opportunity for ia
cetious debate. Already, republicans
are pointing out the item which shows
that the American laundry bill was in ex-
cess of $35, 900.
There is a financial feature of the
Presidents trip which surpasses in in
terest the figures which he has submit
ted That feature is personal. And yet
speculation is rife as to what the trip
cost the President-the man, Woodrow
Wilson. OF course, the President will
never allude in a formal or public man

ner to the gifts that he gave dignitaries,
states, institutions and servants. 1t is
estimated, however, that the cost of
such presents was nordinate-though
again, very modest when compared to
the cost of presents given by rulers of
other countries. Mr.. Wilson is thought
to have spent in this manner a modest
$4,000. The Gar of Russia, on visit to
Paris, gave the servants of his hotel
$4,000. Mr.. Wilson visited all the allied
countries, and in each he was expected
to give royal tips.
