 WASHINGTON, July 29.-Here in Washington they are calling Charley Dawes The Resurrectionist."
 Mir. Webster's dictionary defines a "resurrectionist' as "one who re stores, revives, renovates, or the like"
 At first blush the term may seem queer appellation to apply to the volcanic new director of the budget the same "cussin' brigadier" who was Pershngs right-hand man in running the business end of the A. E. F. in France, and who, upon his re turn almost caused apoplexy among some staid and dignified members of congress by characterizing their in vestigations into war expenditures "a lot of damned rot"
 Hell and Maria!" said Charley Dawes on the now famous occasion. We weren't trying to keep a set of books; we were trying to win a war"
 The ring of that declaration was heard round the United States, and it effectually stopped, for the time be- ing at least, any further criticism of the manner in which the 4. F. r. spent it's funds.
 Now they are calling him The Resurrectionist," one who "restores, revives and renovates." Dawes has set himself to the no inconsiderable task Uf restoring economy in govern, ment operation, reviving confidence in the administration of the govern ment's business and renOvating the whole shooting match" as he him self would describe it.
 He sincerely believes that it can only he done by a recurrence, by a resurrection. or whatever you want to call it. of the flame of patriotic ardor. devotion and determination on the part of the public and the of. ricials in Washington, which made Amcrica's united war effort the won |dcr of the world
 During the war, General Dawes pointed out everybody dropped near |Iy everything except that which would help win the war. Everybody dug in and denied themselves this or l that, CT refraincd from doing the other thing-always with an eye to aiding the government, always with an eye to getting a disagrecahlc job accompushed as quickly as possible. National morale was raised to the nth degree and held there by the flame of jealous patriotism and unit ed endeavor of the whole people.
 Why. asks General Dawes, cant this same flame be resurrected and devoted to putting our own house in order?" as President Harding characterizes it. The menace to the government by the slipshod methods of federal financing is every bit as serious as was the menace offered by the German armies. General Dawes believes, and unless something is done to relieve the situation the system of government is going to break down.
 General Dawes does not believe that the nation can go on spending money at the rate of S6,0OO, 100000 or S7OO0, 100000 year in peace times without inviting n crash. The call of public effort to avert this crash he sincerely believes, is just as insistent and demanding as was the call to arms when the nation was confronted with the menace of world conflict
 Consequently there will soon go out from Washington a call to serv- ice General Dawes wants about thirty or forty business men, leaders in their various lines, to voluntarily come to Washington and devote from three to five months to the patriotic duty of getting the gov ernments finances and expenditures on an orderly, business-like basis. They will serve without pay, and the compensation in public gratitude probably will not be large. It sell dom is.
 But" says General Dawes, "to those business men to whom the president will call I have just this to say:
 When the call came to me to take this place I had the same abhorrence of the thought of leaving private life
