WASHINGTON.-Uncle Sam will
make 81 ,000,000,000 cut in his
budget for next year, according to
the opinion of Treasury officials.
The 1921 estimates of Government
expenditures are being closely pared
down and before the figures are put
in final form for the submission to
congress the reductions may even ex-
coed the billion mark, it was stated
at the treasury. Dissolution of war
establishments and varied emergency
projects and the consequent de-
crease in government personnel have
made possible lower estimates in all
branches The passing of federal rail
control alone with effect a consid-
cradle lowering. in the governments
deficient.
Secretary of the Treasury Hous-
ton expects soon to have in final
form the estimates now being drafted
by cabinet heads, but the tentative
figures already forecast an admin.
stration request upon congress for
approximately $1,000, 000, 900 to run
the government one year The mill
tary and naval program combined,
including new building programs
may call for an outlay of not less
than $1,000, 900, 200. Support of the
United tates army and provision for
pay to the national guard establish
ments probably will require at least
one billion dollars. Settlement of
the governments obligation to the
railroads under the guaranty clauses
of the new transportation probably
will entain an outlay of public funds
amounting to 100000, 1000.
Included in the treasury's plan
for next year is an orderly retir-
ment of outstanding liberty bonds
and victory bonds, latest figures
showed that the gross debt Of the
nation now stands at $4,000, O00,-
600, representing a reduction of 49,
100000, 900, in little more than one
year.
The floating debt amounts to 3d.

Dixon FL. Bynum, assistant city at

nation as to how "white mule" got its
name. Mr.. Bynum, who did govern

that the term come into use in con-
nection with the efforts of the govern
ment officials to stop the traffic of
liquor among the Indians.
Whenever an Indian was caught witt
liquor, he invariably told the same
story as to how he got it.

The condition of the informed ships,

Elected great discredit upon German
seamanship, for it would have been
impossible for any people which really

such cesspools of filth, says Rear
Admiral William S. Sims in the
Worlds Work for July.
For three years the Germans had
evidently made no attempt to clean
them; the sanitary conditions were so
bad that our workmen could not sleep
on board, but had to have sleeping
quarters near the docks; they spent
weeks scrubbing. scraping and disin-
fecting, in a finally successful effort
to make the ships suitable habitations
