desired, venerable brethren, that all
States, putting aside mutual supple
ions, should unite in one league, or
rather in one family Of the peoples,
calculating both to msintain their
own Independence and safeguard the
order of the human society.
What especially among other ma
tions calls for such an association Of
nations is the need, generally rec
ognized, Of making >eve1y effort TO
abolish or to reduce the enormous
burden of the military expenditures,
which States now bear in order to
prevent these disastrous wars, or at
least to remove the danger Of them
as far as possible, so would each
nation be assured not only Of its IN
dependence, but also Of the integrity
Of it's territory within its just
borders.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-ro the list Of
1880 American clergymen who have
taken a irm stand for the League Of Ma
tions, is now added the name Of his
eminence, James CARDINAL Gibbons, Who
bases his support chiefly upon the
encyclical Of Pope Benedict declaring
that an states should unite In one
league"
The distinguished prelate, in an
authorized interview with Colonel Bone
sail IF the Baltimore Sun, declined to
discuss political conditions, but talked
freely about his earnest desire for world
peace.
Church bodies and Christian statesmen
generally have put themselves behind the
League of Nations as a tremendous
moral issue.
In a recent number of "The Christian
Work it was disclosed that q petition
had been signed by 1890 cIergymen,
urging prompt ratification Of the treaty
and entrance Of the United States fnte
the League Of Nations.
Eight hundred and sixteen, clergymen
declined to sign the petition because they
opposed the league.
Upon that basis the ministers OF the
country are eighteen to one for the
league.
At the interview with Colonel Bonesal,
Cardinal Gibbons asked him 20 read
aloud to him two paragraphs Of the
Pope's encyeiicnl as follows

FUND SHIFTING
GOES MERRILY
ON CITY HALL
Unused Money Here Is Taken
l. to Plug Hole That Has
Developed There.
oTHERs oN- SCHEDULE

The annual procession Of city money
being transferred from one fund to an
other so as to plug holes IN the budget,
which have developed either through un-
warranted, extravaganza IN the expendi-
ture Of fnnds already appropriated or
the failure OF city officials adequately TO
provide for the needs of the year. is in
progress
A total Of s47.s2ses already has been
transferred from fund TO fund by action
Of the city council on recommendation
Of various department heads and ordl-
.nanees for the shifting OF S36.t17.22 moro
ara IN the hands OF council committees.
Certain members OF the council have
indicated that they believe It Is about
tine either to have a thorough Under
standing as 20 why such Judging Of
funds Is necessary or stop the practice.
Scrutiny q the transfers already made
discloses the Jewett administration plan
ning to spend $50 900 more from one fund
than the 1920 budget calls Cor, and $4,000
more from another than tie budget pro-
vides and even $1,000 more than the bud
get for next year lists.
Analysis Of these and other financial
moves Of the administration further
shows that there was appropriated in
one fund as high as s45. .5SS9S. which will
not be spent, indicating that certain
funds which the public was not likely to
question last September were made ex-
orbitantIy high In order that there might
be plenty of money with which funds
likely to be criticised might be quietly
padded later In the year.
CONTRARY TO STATEMENT
IN ENGINEER's BUDGET.
Several of these moves are being made
in funds listed in the city civil engi-
neer's department in the face OF state
ment on the opening peges Of his 1920
budget as follows:
In arriving at a conclusion as 10
what is required, careful considera-
tion has been given to the fact that
we must economiEe in every way pos
sihie. curtail expenses and live with

Probably never in the history OF In
dianapOlls has there been such widespread
complaint about the condition Of streets
and alleys and yet the transfer ordinances
reveal the administration taking a total

appropriation ordinance as the electric,
