PLEADS FOR BUDGET LAW,
q. S.. Commerce Chamber Urges
Members to Push LEGISLATION.

The budget and efficiency commit
tee of the United States Chamber of
Commerce has sent out an appeal to
all member organize ions to urge upon
Congress the immediate passage Of

ed out that at the last session of Con.
gress a budget bill was passed, but
was vetoed by President Wilson.
IF the passage Of the budget law il
postponed until the next Congress"
said the committee. "the delay will
surely be embarrassing to the incom-

budget system and will considerably
delay the beginning Of the operation
of the system"

GERMANY PLATED

"Manly Attitude of Holland Joyfully Hailed By Pan-
 German Press
By Associated Press

Berlin. January N-(Via London. .l--Ths pan-German press joyfully halls what il haracterzes as the manly attitude Of Holland on the question of the extradi ton of former Emperor William. The bourgeois journals and these of the rad ioal and majority socialist persuasion also express satisfaction with the Dutch governments note. The Lokal Anzeiger says the document is assured place of honor in the national history of Holland, while the TagIische Rpndschau terms 1t a dgnified state paper carrying just decision and entirely in accord with what the German nation expected of the Dutch government.
 The attitude of Holland, says the No- psische Zeitung, meets the expectations or every one "acauainted with the tradi- tions Of this manly nation"
 The majority socialist Vorwaerts says;
 Holland does not bow tc the victors' orders Her refusal is courageous. firm and definite. The entente rulers have means enough to soerce this small and upright democratic nation. The only question Is wether they dare use them.

BIG NAVAL RIFLES FORMALLY TURNED
 OVER TO THE ARMY
Statement of Policy to Govern In Flu
 ture Plans and Operations ls- sued By Joint Board
By Associated Press

Washington, January 24.-Seven rail-
 way mounts for 14-inch naval rifles
 manufactured by the navy department during the war for use in France ana
 some of which saw actual service on
 the western front with special naval
 gun crews, have been formally trans
 ferred to the army on recommendation
 of the joint army and navy board. TO
 reach it's conclusion the board prepared a statement of policy of the functions or
 each service and of the marine corps,
 which, approved by both secretaries,
 was made public by the war department
 today and which "will govern in future
 plans and operations"
 Under naval functions" the board
 assigned to the battle fleet the mission of keeping the seas open to ships of it's own flag and closed to enemy craft. Such security of vital lines of com munication can be obtained, usually, the board added, "only by decisively de- feating the enemy main fleet or con taining it."
 Army functions were described as re- polling attack and operating offensively against enemy vital interests or terri tory when the navy had controlled lines of communication, and relieving marine attachments at advance vases seized by the fleet.
 From review of these functions, the board drew the policy that handling artillery on shore except such as might be landed from ships of the fleet or a part of advance base equipment. was
 an army function.
