est Nation in That Section.

Rev. Robert Reed Galley spoke at Vest
minister Church last night on "The Far
Eastern Question" His experience OF
2l years as resident in that hall OF the
world has brought him into personal touch
with the people and policies of the various
nations He is at present in charge OF the
Princeton Missionary work in China, and
resides in Pekiu.
That Japan is by far the ablest OF the
Far East nations is evident by the policies
through which she is endeavoring to carve
out her place in the sun, in which effort the
speaker saw n likeness TO the motives
which actuated the Teutons in their course
of conduct.
Seizures of Chinese territory by Euro
pean nations were at the bottom of the
so called Boxer" uprslngs of n generation
ago. DIR. Galley said, and the example
then set has been followed by Japan to
make demands which the Chinese con-
slider unfair.
The address was made before the "open

CONGRESSMEN DECRY
INTERFERENCE WITH
DELAWARE AFFAIRS
All Are Not Like Fess of Opio, ana
He is a Convert to Equal

A NATTER FOR THE STATE

snecia, Dispatch From Every Evening
Washington Correspondent
Washington. March 2J.-Representa
tive Fess of Ohio, chairman of the Repub-
E.ap Congressional Committee, dldn
aTxr,vs display the anxiety on behalf oi
Woman Suffrage that is shown IN hls tele-
srram 10 Senator Ball of Delaware, de-
claring that the party may lose Congress
and the Presidency if Delaware doesn
vote for ratification OF the Nlneteen,h
Amendment. Only few years ago LIT
Fess WAS known in Ohio as most en-
pbatic opponent OF any plan to confer tue
elective franchise on women.
A an educator DIR. Fess used his III
Huence to offset the increasing dernanos
for a larger measure of political lndepen-
dence for women. When the Ohio Congress
man entered politics, the Buckeye State
Iooted with disfavor upon any extension OF
elective franchise privileges. Dr. tess
accommodated his views TO the prevailing
onin;on IN his State When, however
agitation for Women Suffrage seemed 10
be gaining ground, the views ot Dr. tess
Underwent sudden and complete change
Refone his State and district began to
hook with favor on the plan To eniranchlSe
women DR. Fess used TO pant glowing
and alhring pictures of the iair sex 10 the
home. He insisted in those DAYS thai by
entering into political contentious women
degraded themselves and lost much oi
that charm which has done so much to
soften the aspeIities of the stcrner sex
and make the world a better place IN
which TO livc.
az womans place is in the home. DIR.
Fcss said on ono occasion. She should
not enter into the slough of politics. To
retain that charm which has made her so
beautifully useful in this old world of ours
abe must confinc her activities TO the
recognized feminine sphere.
DR.. Fess, however, insists that all that
all citizens have n right to cnange their
mind when given sufficient reason TOT so
doing. The veteran ncducator-p poiitlcian cvi-
IDENTIFY found sufficient reason for changing
his mind in the changing views Of the
voters in his district.

j. S. DEPARTMENTS
HARD HIT BY LOSS
Of APPROPRIATIONS

Government economy-in the form
OF slashed appropriations-is begin
ming to have it's effect on depart
mental activities. A survey of de-
dition which probably will grow
more serious as the year advances.
At the present time bureau heads
are estimating what can be done with
the funds in hand, and in many in
stances this estimate has not been
completed. In other cases work
planned for the fiscal year beginning
July l has been abandoned. while
certain activities of last year have
been discontinued
The bureau of standards. one of the
hardest hit government agencies. is
working now with force SO per cent
smaller than this time last year.
Stenographers and clerks have been
released, without promise when their
services will be ere-engaged. Scientists
who are experimenting with certain
projects find themselves compelled,
in some instances, to do their sci
entific work and at the same time
attend to the correspondence former
ly taken care of by stenosraphers.
Work In Handicapped.
The bureau is seriously handicapped
in it's program. and il aid is not forth
coming in the form of more funds
certain work will be discontinued. In
former years. 1t is stated, when the
bureau found itself without appro-
priations asked for, officials took a
chance" and carried employees over on
the rolls until money was appro-
priated. This year this practice has
been discontinued.
The bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce and the coast and geodetic
survey are seriously affected by the
diminished appropriations. This was
admitted, but further details withheld
by officials questioned.
The Department of Labor, with an
appropriation cut approximately SO
per cent. is wondering how to dis
tribute the funds left in such a way
as to carry on the most important
phase of its work. There have been
comparatively few employees dis
charged from this department, the
number beirg about fifty.
While there are more strikes and
threatened strikes than ever before.
the burau of conciliation has been
forced to curtail its work SO per
cent It's plan for a larger and more
embracing campaign of strike pre-
vention has been abandoned. Its ap-
preparation was cut In half, with the
resulting effect upon its work

RESUMES PRE-WAR
TRADING IN WHEAT
Chicago Board Of Trade Re-
verts to Former Ex-
change Methods.

CHICAGO. July Is (by the Associ-
ated Press).-Eager watching by the
grain trade throughout the world at
war methods of dealing in wheat. On
the Chicago Board of Trade. where
the chief interest was centered, an
entire absence of formality character
ixed the event. g
I. Fer the first time since August IS.
I91 Z, when the United StateB governs
ment assumed control over business
in wheat ,opsrations were permitted
today that went beyond mere limited
quantities on a hand-to-mouth. basis.
Instead. the buying and selling of
wheat was broadened out so as to In
clude future. as well as immediate de-
livery, with no restriction as to
amount except as guided by the reg
uIating powers which the members of
the board of trade had voted to the
officials Of the Institution. To facili-
tate the new dealings. temporary
quarters son the exchange floor were
provided in the trading pit which In
e-bellum days was devoted to oats.
Time Needed for Adjustment.
The plan of modest start in the
former oats pit was adopted on the
assumption that it would take con-
siderable time for the wheat market
to adjust itself to an open supply -and-
demand basis. In this connection, l..
F. Gates. president of the board Of
trade, said speculative trading would
be encouraged only to the extent nee
essary to furnish a stabilizinE inffu-
ence He added that not until trans
portation conditions became more
normal could the market in future de,
liyeries be expected to afford the full
measure of protection for handlers
and dealers to which they had been
accustomed.
..Today is significant and impor-
tant," said President. Gates, in tnat
it marks the re-entry of the law OF

pit, where buyers and sellers in the

Army reorganization act, the trans
portation service, the Motor Trans
port Corps. the Construction Division

those services under the direction
of Maj. Gen. Harry l.. Rogers, quar-
termaster general.

of director of storage and purchase is
abolished. Under the law the quar-
termaster general will have three
assistants, each with the rank of
brigadier general, but they have not
yet been appointed.
