The President has found it neces
sary to abandon his hnnus off policy
toward Congress and to enforce party
discipline. This Mellon letter and the
conference with Lodge and Mondell
constitute his first assertion that Con-
gress, proceeding without guidance, IS
leading the party toward defeat.
ThJ legislative branch cannot re-
frain from its old habit OF dealing cut
money with Il free hand where mem
bers think that votes for themselves
can lie got. The economical Impulse
which the House showed in voting for
small navy appropriations creates Il
false appearance of reform. Few or
no votes Nro to be won by building bat
tleShiDS or by enlargirg the army or
navy personnel.
And the President unfortunately
weakened his own moral position before
the country by not putting himself at
once forward as the leader of the move
mcnt for saving money on the Army
and the Navy and by permitting his
Secretaries of the Army and Navy to
advocate larger appropriations. Con-
greSs camoufagcd its own extravaganza
by show of virtue over the Army and
Navy bills.
Waste at the Bunghole
The work of General Dawes, admir-
able as it will undoubtedly be, also
creates false appearance of economy.
His attempts at saving are enormously
advertised because they are a novelty
and because he is a picturesque per-
sonality. But the cuts in Army ano
| Navy appropriations and the economies
through more scientific budget making
are savings at the spigot while the
waste goes on at the bunghole.
Unless President Harding establishes
some iron party discipline which will
subordinate the politics that individuals
and groups in Congress are playing fol

Washington, D. c., November %
It's Germany's next move. Premier
Brands speech has preC oitated what
seems to be the only issue in the
conference, and proves again the val
lie OF open discussion.
Premier BRAND told the world that
France viii have to maintain a con
siderable army but as long as the
reason for this army was not given,
no answer could be made. Now that
that reason is known, all eyes are
turned on Germany. If she announces
her willingness to assure provisions
for permanent peace, then it is up to
Francs to accept.
The case is now In court; the jury
has been selected and the trial is in
progress. 1t is hoped that the out
come will be disarmament in Europe.
II it does not, it viii result in wars
which will make 1t impossible to bring
about disarmament. Here the situa-
ton rests until the jury brings in a
verdict. France will receive geat-
er assurance than she asked and ex-
pected. 1t will be the desire of Eur
ope for peace and as Secretary Hugh
es said, 1t will be more valuable than
any army. Peace in Europe is not i'm.

Washington, D. c., November 23.-
The senate today for the second time
in as many days, expunged senatorial
remarks from the record. This time,
however, the remarks were sticken
out at the request of the man who
made them, Senator Reed, democrat
of Missouri, who by telegraph from
his home in Kansas City, asked that
his statements in which he denounced
Representative Volstead, republican,
Minnesota, be expunged.
The paragraph to which Mr.. Reed
referred described Mr.. Volstead as a
man who THINKS more OF getting
a bootlegger than he does OF preserv-
ing the palladium OF human liberty"
and contained other remarks con
corning the Minnesota representative.
A resolution to strike out the state
ments was introduced in the house
several weeks ago by Representative
Newton, republican of Minnesota, but
no action has been taken. The SEN
ate action was made on a motion by
Senator Curtis, republican OF Kan

Paterson, N. j., November %
Ferdinand Ella, owner Of twenty six
barrels of insipid water, for which he
confidingly paid $4,000, today identi-
fed Emil Wentz of Grand Forks, N
D., as one of the three men who con
vinced him by a plausible test that
the barrels contained 1913 proof wills
key.
Ella told the police he had been per-
mitted to select a barrel. to bore his
own hole, to insert a rubber tube and
to sample what ran out. He did not
learn until the trio had disappeared
with his $4,000 that one Of them had
connected the tube with a rubber bag
beneath his coat, which contained real
"red eye"
Wentz was found in a New York
Jail, where he is held on a charge of
having perpetrated a similar swindle
on John Mclaughlin. retired police
man. The New York police said they
found the trick tube in his home and
that he admitted the Mclaughlin
swindle, saying his partners had gone
west with most of the proceeds.
