ACCOMPLISHED. ...-..

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE senate
took up the report of the privileges
and election committee today on the
contest of Henry Ford against the
seating of Truman H. Newberry Gre
publican) of Michigan, who was his
opponent in the 1913 election, and al
though the debate was at times heat
ed and a night session was forced,
little progress was made toward a
vote.
The debate was opened by Chair
man Spencer of the privilege and
elections committee, who supported
the report. of the majority calling for
the seating of Senator Newberry,
and in general defended the senator
and his 1918 campaign. In concluding
his address Senator Spencer suggest
ed that Senator Pomerene Demo
craft of Ohio, representing the min
ority views of the committee, pro-
eeed with statement, but the latter
declined, saying that he was indis-
posed and would not speak at the
night session.
AS the night session wore on
through quorum calls and cross-fre
of political debate Senator Harrison
(Democrat) of Mississippi, who previ-
ouslyshad charged the Republicans
with attempting to force through the
resolution for seating Mr.. Newberry
when the armament conference was
occupying the public attention, took
the -..ccr and began to read the ma
jority and minority report. Senator
Spencer and other Republicans de-
MED t.,lat they were attempting to
force ne resolution through and said
they were ready to vote. But Mr.
Harrison and Senators Walsh of
Montana and Swanson of Virginia
then began an attack in which they
accused the Republicans of seeking a
night SESSION in revenge for the re-
fusal through the objection of Sena-
tor Watson of Georgia earlier in the
day for a unanimous consent agree
ment to vote on the resolution Dec

ga personal friend presented
your name as one worthy in a GER
tain order and you will be, or have
already been approached by a per,
sonal friend regarding same.
"You know what every hyphenated
citizen, shade of opinion and color
of skin in this land is organized to
advance it's particular aims except
real Americans, who seem content
to leave their interests in the hands
of the other fellow: The American
Indian tried that.
''If you want to affiliate with an
organization that is sweeping the
country from coast to coastC-one
that is determined to preserve the
Anglo-Saxon civilization bought and
.purifed by the blood of OUR forefath'
ers; one that will create and pre-
serve wholesome regard for law

of state in the hands of worthy
Americans, let US hear from you.
"This organization is to the Ma
ton what a gun is to the home-not
there for any particular one, but
for any disturber, and is entitled to

more speedily operative, but if you
feel you cannot measure up to the
manhood of your forefathers please
remain quiet regarding this order,
and to the world hereafter you know
nothing of the existance of such an
order; however, should your life, lib
erty, property, happiness. or country
be imperiled, WE'LL DO" =.

meeting of the technical committee
TO which the armament program OF
the American delegation was referr-
ed Yesterday adjourned at noon today
until tomorrow. Various phases of
the American plan were taken under
consideration by the individual ex-
perts for each power preparatory to
further committee discussion later.
With the American arms reduction
proposal referred to committee OF
naval advisers of the five great pow
ers as he accepted fundamental pol
icy or naval armaments, the Wash
ington conference turned its atten-
tion today to the other big subject
c. the meeting, the far eastern situ-
alton. Apparently none of the nations
was ready to present a comprehen-
sive plan of settlement of the ques-
tions involved at the outset and the
delegations of all the nine interested
powers seemed to have adopted a
waiting attitude as they prepared to
meet in executive session this morn
ing, .as a committee of the whole, to
take up this phase of the conference
work.
Meanwhile ene work of preparing
a report on the American proposal
for reduction of naval armaments,
involving consideration of the modi-

tons with which the plan was &C.
cepted by them in principle and in
spirit, along with France and Italy,
at the open session yesterday, will

CH|NA'S PROPOSALS
GET ATTENTION
FAR EASTERN COMMITTEE
FUNcTIoNING VIGOROUSLY,
ACCORDING TO BRITISH
DELEGATES AMERICA WANTS
OPEN DOOR,

Washington, Nov. 17.-"Func-
tioning vigorously" was the term
used by the British delegates today
in describing the activities of the
committee appointed by them to
consider the proposals made by
China yesterday at the meeting OF
the committee on Far Eastern ques-
tions.
The subject of inundated islands
is understood to be particularly SUBJ
jected to a close study in view of a
reference by Secretary Hughes yes
terday to the matter in the course
of his remarks opening the commit
tee session naturally, the Australian
and New Zealand members of the
British delegation interestd in. this
because of the suggestion in some
quarters that Japan was preparing
to offer to make concessions'in the
direction .of opening to general
trade withut discrimination the for
merly German owned islands in the
Pacific north of the equator allotted
to her under the Versailles treaty,
providing the British would do the
same for those islands south of the
equator which had fallen to their
share.
Naturally the American view
point is that the open door should
prevail for all of these islands.
Hence the British concern over the
proposition. -.

 BOmbardment, ReCOnSeCrated

Monte Grappa, Italy, Sept s-This mountain, 5000 feet high amid the rugged crags of the Alps. has just been the scene of vast pilgrimage of 1 900 veterans of the world war, women and children, who for days nave been climbing to reach the suT1- mt where the statue of Madonna md chile was reconsecrated in men,- ory of the Italian heroes who fought m these mountain fastneSses
 The road to the summit is l 8 miles in length and winds through passes, skirts the edge of bottomles ravines and rises finally to giddy heights, where to the south one sees the plains of the Lsonzo to the sea, to the north continues chains of towering Alps 1t was thus that during the war, the army that occupied Monte Grappa conrolled the plain. It was the m oun- tainous battlefield Of the Italian and Austrian arn.ies and it's changing of hands during the course of the war IS the story of the whole campaign.
 The Madonna which has now reLak- en her place on the summit was placed here in 1910 by Cardinal Sario. patriarch of Venice. In May. 1s.S, n hile the stronghold was in posses

On a con- venient day. it was taken down from the mountain and carried back to ;ke rear to remain until the end of Lhe var so that it could be erected with safety.
 For the ceremony or replacing the Madonna, which has just aken place, the King was represented by the Duke of Bergamo, who delivered an ad oress on the sacrifices made by Ita,- Ian troops in the defense of Grappa. pormer Premier Orlando made ne principal speech, in which he re- counted the heroic exploits of the Italian army in overcoming the seena- -rgly difficulties of the mountain strongholds. There were special cnln- missions at the ceremony from tr . Senate and the Chamber of DeputIsS. After the addresses, mass was cele orated. The Cardinal of Venice with five bishops of the Veneto osiciated in the religious ceremony.

the government to make the accumu- lation of a competence less difficult To make it more difficult is a perver- sion of government.
 The treasury department, I under stand, estimated that it would take five months to accommodate itself to any considerable change of method The time is too short and the gov ernment's need of money too great to turn around immediately in this regard, but I express the hope and expectation that soon we shall be a ble to change our system of taxation so as to raise less of our revenue through burdensome income taxes and more of it through some other forms of direct tax on the production or consumption of goods
 Passing to the tariff, MT. Hays said, that it seemed to him that the pres ent state of mind of congress and thoughtful men on that subject amounted to a feeling that the pres ent year was not a good one in which to write a permanent tariff bill to last for many years to come. Con ditions throughout the world were too chaotic. He spoke of the at tempt to solve this tariff question by adoption of the system called Amer ican valuation and pointed out that we have appropriated $100,0O0 to investigate this device and otherwise determine what might be done to help us toward writing a permanent tariff"
 MT. Hays added: "The matter of legislation to relieve the railroads and the earnest purpose of the executive in that regard and his belief in the consequent certain renewed employ ment of labor are all well known to the country, and this and other sim ilar salutary legislation may be ex- pected as rapidly as possible"

of what had been achieved in the War Risk Insurance bureau. There, he said. the 200. 900 claims and cases which were waiting to be disposed Of on the fourth of March had been cleaned up and claims were now dis posed of with q promptness approx imating that of insurance com panies This. he said. was one of the things President Harding had been able to accomplish.
 MT. Hays outlined some of the steps which the people should be ticking to accomplish the appalling task. of making the government ef- ficient. It would seem natural, he said. 10 expect the creation of a De- partment of Public Works and De- partment of Public Welfare. the lat ter of which would have charge of relief work for veterans of the war with Germany. He suggested the stripping of the treasury department ot all except its necessary and proper fiscal functions. He would transfer to non- military work from the war de- partment and the navy department to the regular civilian departments of the government.
 He would transfer to the depart ment of commerce all agencies hav- ing to do with the promotion of com merce and protection of navigation and would establish a centralized pur- chasing agency to do the buying of all branches of the executive estab- lishment. He would expect a full 'functioning of the budget system and all together "a reorganization which will bring a material reduction of the overhead expenses of the federal es- tablishment and improvement in the quality of service rendered the pub lic.' There would then be more bus mess in government as well as less government in business.
 Speaking of what must be done in the direction of administrative ef- ficiency in his own department, MT. Hays said that the postal service was the biggest distinct business in the world. with 3O0.0oO employees and 100. 100000 customers. It was the largest express company in the world, handling over 2.00O. .00o, 900 packages last year and it had the largest saw ings bank in the world in number of depositors.
 One of the difficulties of the depart ment was that T5 per cent of all mail posted is dumped into the post office at the end of each day. straining the human postal machine almost to the breaking point. Unsettled claims for indemnity on lost and damaged par ccls had been reduced. from 175.Q00 in March last to a condition which would be current in 30 days more. Fundamental changes were being made daily in the operation of the service.
 When he took hold, he said, it seemed to him that the greatest pro- cress could most quickly be made by improving the morale of the service. He had found this assumption cor rect, We arc getting away in the post office service from any idea that Ia bor is a commodity he continued. 'T am determined to go to great lengths to develop in the department the spirit that we are '300,00o part ners." He said the postal employees
