law" inclination long enough to
shanghai them!

A startling story of bondage right
here In the United States has been re-
vealed by Ruth Crawford, Director of
Immigran Service Of the National
Board of the Y. w. C. A 1t is the story
of q Lettish girl who fled from the
Bolsheviki to this country with Rus
sian farmer and his wife, and hes been
held prisoner by them on their little
farm in Maine, for three whole years.
Many Dailydaite, Lithuanian Y. W.
worker, found the girl through in
formation given her by u peddler
whose suspicious had been aroused
When the man and his wife were con-
fronted, they made no denial and let
the girl be taken away without resist
ance. 1t sounds amazing that. Il girl,
well-educated, speaking two Ian
guages, could be so victimized But
she was told that she wouldn't be al
lowed to leave the farm without a gov
eminent passport. and was held in
fear of everything in the world beyond
the boundaries of the Russians patch
Of land. The Wv. placed her in their
International Institute and is making
an effort to reach her own people in
Europe. This is only one instance of
the unusual kinds of service we have
been able to give many times, through
our foreign workers." Miss Crawford
said.

FRANKLINIZING
THE ADMINISTRATION.


istration has adopted the old maxim
that "a penny saved is penny
earned" and that many mickle
makes a muckle." The administration
also recognizes the force of the doc
trine preached by Benjamin Franklin,
Beware of little expenses; small
leak will sink great ship" In one
instance after another the new man.
ayers of government business are lop-
ping off expenses and paving the way
for an ultimate reduction of taxes.
That the reduction cannot come soon
Is evident, for there Is fixed burden
Of interest charges there Is a floating
debt to be paid, and bonds soon COM
ing due to be met. But at every op-
portunity, small or great, the Harding
cabinet is clipping pay rolls and other
current expenditures.
Expansion was the policy of the
Wilson administration from the begin
ming. Although denunciation of the
Republicans for alleged extravaganza
was the slogan of the Democrats in
the campaign of 1912 which brought
them into power, they increased the
number Of government employees
from the very day they took over the
control Of the administrative depart
ments. Moreover, this increase in the
number Of employees, with establish
ment of new bureaus, requiring the
leasing Of more office space, with all
the other incidental expense that goes
with the maintenance of government
bureaus. Expansion took place under
the Democratic administration before
the war began, but, of course, it in
creased at q rapid rate after the
United States entered the conflict At
ter the armisiice was signed the Will
son administration resisted every eff
fort at curtailment of government ac-
tivities.
Among the first of the retrenchment
efforts of the Harding administration
is the removal Of government bureaus
and commissions from rented to gov
ernment-owned buildings, thus saving
considerable sums spent for rent and
increasing efficiency by getting the
bureaus closer together where time
can be saved and public business ex-
pedited. Notwithstanding the large
number Of office buildings erected by
the government, and the large amount
of vacant office space in those build
ings, some Of the government bureaus
and commissions have continued to
operate in rented Offices. The Repub-
lican administration is changing this
policy as rapidly as possible.
One of the early changes to be made
is the removal Of the Shipping Board
offices from one of the most centrally
located and expensive blocks in the
heart Of the city to the new Navy
building-said to be one of the largest
office buildings in the world. At pres
the Shipping Board not only occupies
expensive rented quarteds in the heart
fthe city but part of its work is con-
Quoted in a branch office nearly a mile
from the main office. Under the new
arrangement all the Shipping Board
work will be brought under one roof.
Another change in the interest Of
both economy and efficiency is the re-
moval of the International Boundary
Commission from rented quarters to
government building occupied by the
Coast and Geodetic Survey. To some

DUBLIN. Sept. 10.-The Irish Repub-
acan Cabinet was in session late to-
night. 1t Is expected that J. c. Bar
ton, the Sim. Fein envoy. will leave
here for Inverness tomorrow night,
certainly before Wednesdays meeting
of the Dali Eireann.
This is taken to indicate that the
Dali Eireann will accept Premier
Lloyd Georges invitation to a confer
ence and that the meeting of the Dali
Efreann has been summoned to in
dorse the plenipotentiaries.
"At this tine," said Mr.. Collins,
there Is no excuse for keeping those
prisoners at all. Every one OF us Is
more guilty. because these men only
obeyed orders, and f it is right that we
should be abroad it is wrong that they
should be in jail"
He urged the appointment Of an inn
partial body from the English and Irish
Governments to secure fair treatment
Of prisoners in accordance with the
status to which they were entitled. He
incidentally confirmed the reported es-
cape OF some forty men interned at
Curragh, saying. This is the first time
prisoners have escaped without coopera-
tion from the outside which would be
breach of the truce"
He concluded with emphasis:
Irish freedom is coming. not because
of any action Of our enemies or for any
hope they hold out but because of the
strength Of our position, because Of the
men who have died for Ireland and be-
cause Of the men who are still prepared
to die fo- Ireland and who will not stop
until Irish freedom Is secured"

LONDON, Sept. 10.--The Dublin cor
respondent OF the Westminster Gazette
sent the following despatch to his news
paper to-day:
1T can now be stated with authority
that representatives from the Dali
Eireann will meet the British represen-
tatives In a conference at Inverness on
September 20.
"As a matter of fact the Dali repre-
sentatives already have been decided
upon. They include Arthur Griffith.
John MacNeill and Robert c. Barton
1T is not expected that Eamon de
Valera will attend the conference. but
he and others will be Immediately
available for consultation by the Irish
representatives"
1t was understood that when the Re-
publican Parliament adjourned at Dub
lin recently 1t had conferred plenary
powers on Mr. de Valera and his coll
leagues. The note from Mr.. Lloyd
George. however, is asserted to have
brought "a factor into the situation
which made 1t necessary for the Parlia-
ment to meet and widen the scope OF
the mandate 1t gave its leaders. This
meeting Will be a secret session. to be
held Wednesday.
Inc HHtrlpeIS OF the IarUAnent, IL IS
pointed out, took the oath OF allegiance

seem that they must be especially en-
powered to meet the Prime Minister on
the basis laid down in his latest note.
