War Act Not Repealed.

The main thing is that the house
succeeded in changing the Knox reso-
luton so that instead of repeating the
congressional act declaring that war
existed with Germany, the resolution
simply puts an end to the war. II is
held by the ex-soldlers of the country
that to repeal the war resolution would
be construed in way as meaning
that the United States was sorry that
II had declared war.
This view Of the case was taken by
the house of representatives. and 1t
succeeded in changing the Knox docu-
ment so that the war simply. Is de-
clared to be Mt an end II is a puzzle
TO some people in Washington to know
why the Pennsylvania senator desired
the repeal.
One section of the resolution is in
tended to cover cases of deserters from
the United States army who have
found refuge in other countries. OF
course the case of Grover Cleveland
Bergdoll, now in Germany, from which
vantage point he has been sneering at
the American authorities, was the
moving reason for the insertion of this
provision.
The specific paragraph which covers
the cases of the deserters is that moth
ing contained in the resolution shall
be construed nor be effective ito ter
inmate the military status of any per-
son now in desertion from the mill
tarv or naval service of the United
States. nor to terminate the liability
to prosecution and punishment Under

to comply with the provisions of said
act, or of acts amendatory thereof"
Shift In Dawes Plans.
There has been II sudden shift in
the plans of Charles G. Dawes, di-
rector of the budget. In his pre-
liminary statement concerning his

Meeting With Bureau Heads.

The day after President Harding
and Director Dawes had their confer
ence, a mass meeting of the heads of
departments and bureaus was called.
The various officials met In the audi
torium of the department of Interior,
and President Harding presided, an
unusual thing for Il president to do.
1t was explained that the director had
been asked to prepare an absolutely
new budget and that its maximum it
was hoped would be below the mini
mum amount provided for any exist
ing governmental expenditures.
There seemed to be at the meeting
an enthusiasm on the part of th&
chiefs of the various bureaus for the
work which Is in. hand. They prom
ised individually and collectively to
study the situation and to report on
all cases in which 1t seemed that
money might be saved, and also to
report OH the ways and means of saw
ing ii.
1t has been known for years that
men who have been at the heads of
bureaus in Washington for long
time always were anxious to make a
showing of economy In their work,
but they have been powerless in the
face of the fact that appropriations
were made for this work and that
work, and although the chiefs might
think that the cost was to be eXces-
sive, the actual spending of the money
was In other hands. and II has be-
come truism that men who spend
government money are anxious to
spend it all, not necessarily simply
because they want to spend 1t, but
because they think perhaps that-bet-
ter results can he obtained by big
purse methods.

IN December budget which would
outline probable expenses and prob
able revenues for the fiscal year be-
ginning July /, 1922. Suddenly an
uOuncement Is made that an attempt
will be made to accomplish much saw
ing during the fiscal year beginning
July |, 1921.
President Harding called Budget Dl-
rector Dawes into consultation and
asked him II he did not think II would
be possible to get the heads of the
departments and of the bureaus to-
gether and to determine II 1t would
not be possible to save II lot of money
out of the sums already appropriated
by congress for the fiscal year which
was about to begin.
The director said. IN try" In his
preliminary statement he had spoken
of five months as an exceedingly short
time In which to prepare for savings
In the fiscal year which does not be-
gin until the summer of 1922, and this
shows what the exertion must be to
accomplish like result against the
appropriations already made and
which are to carry the government
through the fiscal year which began
July l.
OF course the fiscal year already Is
here, and expenditures are being
made, but by August l the hope is
that there will be an understanding
OF the situation which will be thor.
ough enough to enable decisive cuts
to be made in the expenditures for
the rest OF the year. 1t is not be-
lieved in Washington that as much
saving can be accomplished this year
as next. belief which is natural be-
cause of the necessity of working so
rapidly in the work of present-day
saving.

Bed-Rock Democracy
democracy nowadays, as IL it were
some hocus-pocus that will work won
ders without regard to ordinary pro-
cesses of life. Democracy is not a sort
of higher legerdemain. that will take
rabbits and ribbons, gauds and gold,
out of magic hat Bedrock demo-
cracy is simple neiehboriness. We re-
call the carly pioneer days OF our coun-
try. when democracy was simplest and
most real Then families were de-
pendent upon one another. Wak a barn

cracy and religion.
This art is not lost. II may be far
from the ken of the Broadways of the
great cities; but II still rules in the
country and in the small towns. Tho
glory of our Christianity is the un-
counted company of men and women
boys and girls, who daily provo their
discipleship to Christ by deeds of un-
selfish neighhorlness. They are the
ones who make the land Christian
Their simple. unouestioninS acceptance
of tho Masters teaching of good will
and helpfulness has made unthinka bic
any experimentation in our favored
country with tho vaEarics of an un-
neighborly radicalsm. Christian
neiEhborhoods see no need for Bolshev-
ism.
Thus were We formed as a people
Our national roots are all in the soil
Of Christian neighborlinese. At the
center of this stands. inviolate and
sacred. the Christian home. place
where love for God and man are
taught. and where happiness has its
abode. Given Christian homes and the
result is a Christian ncighborhood. Let
Christ reign in the family and Ho will
inevitably be crowned in the commun-

quickest way to convert a community
