Second, by standing for right and Justice as towards individual nations. The lawe of democracy is for the pro- tection of the weak and the influence of every democracy in the world should be for the protection of the weak na- tion, the nation which is struggling to- wards it's right and towards it's proper recognition and privilege in the family of nations. The United States cannot refuse this role of champion without putting the stigma of rejection upon the great and devoted men who brought it's government into existence and establ shed it in the face of al most universal opposition and intrigue, even in the face of wanton force, as. for example, against the Orders in Council of Great Britain and the arbi- trary Napoleonic decrees which in volved us in what we know as the War of 1872.
 I urge you to consider, that the display of an immediate disposition on the part of the Congress to remedy any injustices or evils that may have shown themselves in our own national life will afford the most effectual off set to the forces of chaos and tyranny which are playing so disastrous a part in the fortunes of the free peoples of more than one part of the world. The United States is, of necessity, the sample democracy of the world, and the triumph of democracy depends upon it's success.
 Recovery from the disturbing and sometimes disastrous effects of the late war has been exceedingly slow on the other side of the water and has given promise, I venture to say, of early completion only in our own for tunate country, but even with us the recovery halts and Is impeded al times, and there are immediately ser. viceable acts of Legislation which ii seems to me we ought to attempt to assist that recovery and prove the in' destructible recuperative force of g great government of the people. BUSINESS METHODS URGED One of these is to prove that a great democracy can keep house as success. fuflly and in as busineslike a fashion as any other government It seems tc me that the first step towards proving this is to supply ourselves with A sys tematic method of handling our esti. amtes and expenditures and bringing them to the point where they will no be 'an unnecessary strain upon our in. come, or necessitate unreasonable taxa. tion; in other words, workable budget system, and I respectfully sug.
 
 such system, namely, not only that the proposal of appropriations shoulc be in the hands of single body, such as single appropriations committed in each house of the Congress, but also that this body should be brought into such cooperation with the depart. ments of the government and with the treasury of the United States as would enable 1t to act upon complete con. spectus of the needs of the government and the resources from which 1t mus draw its income

''SAFETY FIRST" CLUB IN CHINA IN HEALTH WORK Started For Repression of
 Disease Among
 Servants.

Shanghai, Feb. 13.---Shanghai has what is called a Safety First Club, the single aim of which is to prevent the introduction of disease into for eign households through servants The organization is an outgrowth oi activities of St. Luke's hospital and it was formed to enable members, in return for fixed fees, to have theit Chinese servants examined at the hospital periodically.
 The need of such an institution in Shanghai is appreciated when it is remembered that the 1000 or more foreigners are domiciled in a city of more than 2,00O,000 which has no sewers and in which none of the or dinary safeguards to preserve the public health exist. Wages are ex- ceedingly low in comparison with Oc- cidental standards, and range from $6, Mexican, a month, for the coolie house boy, up to probably $15, MeXi- can, a month for 8 cook. It is 8 modest establishment, that has not two or more native domestic work CTS.
 Leprosy in advanced stages is to be met with in Shanghais streets, partic- ularly in the Chinese city, tubercu- nese who die every year, tracoma is common, typhoid and paraztyphoid are ever-present, the social diseases are most widespread.

 The bill provides that the men are entitled to a free medical eXamina- tion to determine the extent of their disability. If found to be disabled the War Risk Bureau will pay them compensation according to the extent of the disability, and if the case re- quires, it will direct that they be ad- mitted to the most convenient Pub lie Health Service Hospital or sana torium.
 The hospital furnishes artificial limbs, glass eyes, braces for deform- ed limbs, etc, free. It also exam ines the eyes to see whether glasses are needed and looks after the teeth In case of tuberculosis, or other dis eases requiring like treatment, spe cial sanatorium treatment is provided Discharged sick or disabled soldiers sailors, marines and nurses are urged to write to the United States PuD1i | Health Service, Washington, D. c. for further details.

IEBAUDY ESTATE s7,s5O,0o

London, Feb. 3-Announcement is made that the net value of the estate of Jacques Lebaudy in England has been. fixed by the Probate Court at f1,570,000. Lebaudy was shot and killed by his wife at their home near Mineola, New York, on Jan. 12, 1919. Mime. Lebaudy was later ex- onerated by the jury.
 Mrs. Margaret A. Lebaudy, widow of the Emperor of the Sahara" !" reached a compromise agreement last December with Countess Marie Teresa Jeanne Lebaudy de Fels, of Paris, who disputed her claim to her husbands estate. Under the terms of the agree meent Mrs. Lebaudy was to get one fourth of the estate; her daughter, Jacqueline, one-fourth, and Countess Lebaudy de Fels, one-half.
 The Surrogate of Nassau county, in accordance with the agreement, ap- pointed as administrators Paul Fuller of Coudert Brothers. and Ernest F. Suffern, certified public accountant, who have filed a s5.0O0,00O bond. The estate had been estimated at as high Q figure as S12,00O,000.

Washington, D.

 Reports reaching the United States Public Health Service from stations where hospitals are in operation for the benefit of discharged soldiers, sailors, marine and war nurses, show that a great number of men who served in the war and were injured have never fully understood the pro- visions of the legislation supplement- ing the war risk insurance act. Un- der the terms of this legislation the Public Health Service has established hospitals at convenient places throughout the United States for the free treatment of any member ot the Military Establishment whose dis ability may be traced to service with

MAY ORGANIZE
 INDIAN BRANCH
 FOR U. s. ARMY
Would Be Composed o1 North American Indians
 Only.

Washington, Feb 13.---A proposal to organize one or more full divisions of Indian troops as a part of the re- organized army and to be known as the North American Indian division or divisions, is pending in Congress as part of the army, reorganization legislation.
 Many instances of exploits of per
 sonal heroism on the western front,
 such as won for the Red Men in
 France the nickname of squirrel Adnters' because of the deadly ac
 curacy of their rifles in sniping con
 tests with Germans, were furnished
 the committee as evidence of valu-
 able man power which it is contend
 ed would be wasted if the Indians
 are denied a place in the army
 scheme.
 Expertness at scouting and patrol
 ling, particularly at night and in un- known territory; disregard for per sona1 danger under fire, and unfa1ter- ing loyalty, were among the soldier iy qualities the Indian was described as possessing to an unusual degree. A majority of the more than IT, i 900 Indians who saw military service | during the war were members of the | 90th Division, the Texas and Okla | homa National Army Division, the 1 36th Division, National Guardsme m from the same two states, and the l 165th Infantry, or old 69th New J York, which received heavy Indian | replacements to fill the gaps pro- ] duced in its ranks by fighting on the
 Marne. But the Redskins served in
 many other units and in practically ] all services. An instance of how the Ghoctaw dialect of men under the command 1 of Lieutenant Colonel William J. l Morrissey, of the 142nd infantry, l proved of value in dodging the Ger 1 man "listening-in' system was relat- l ed by pr. Dixon. In October, 1918, ] preceding the armistice, when the l 142nd infantry was in front of St. 1 Etienne, on the Champagne front l the Germans detected American
 troop movements by tapping wires 1 ganized a; signal square of Choctaws 1 to transmit the messages in their | original dialect. t@This barbed wire | conversation" Dr. Dixon said, Twas a l barrage that non-plussed the Ger 1 mans.''
 l In working the ''code,'' it was l found that there were no words in
 the Choctaw tongue for many mill l tary technical expressions, and it was necessary to make up a table of sub 1 stitutes, such as lone grain corn" for 1 first battalion" and "arrows'' fo, l "ammunition.''

Yet it is felt that the door of the foreign household has been left open to in lection by ignoring the condition of servants who are recruited from all quarters of the community and who side the limits of the international settlement that forms the heart of the city. It is to deal with this source of danger that the Safety First Club was formed.
