pieces on points of order.
There was no general attempt to
wreck the bill. Members simply
sought to register violent opposition
to the Of it's framing. Not all
were willing to go that far, for many
DIRECTORS were unwilling to seize on
technical grounds for its destruction.
One member, however, attacked item
after item n they went out as with
out authority of law.

UNTERMYER ACCUSED
Palmer Says New York Attorney
Is Aiding Former Clients.
Attorney General Presents Report
Taken from Boy Ed on hls Cap
ture by British In Palestine.

MISUNDERSTANDING General Pal
mer charged Samuel Untermyer. New
York attorney. with acting "in the Ger
nan interest" and with simply serv-
ing his old clients" In his recent critic
isms of Mr.. Palmer's conduct of the
offices Of alien property custodian and
Attorney General.
The Attorney General presented his
charges In a formal statement with
quotations from a report taken from
Captain Boyd, former naval attache
of the German embassy here, on his
capture by the British In Palestine
and from the diary Of Heinrich F. AL
bert, former chief privy councillor Of
the German embassy. The report Of
Captain Boyd as made public by Mr..
Palmer referred to Mr.. Untermyer as
"the unpaid judicial and legal political
adviser Of the German embassy" while
DIR. Albert In his diary is quoted as de-
scribing a meeting brought about for
business reasons" at Mr.. Untermyer's
estate at Greystone on the Hudson
river.
"The malicious reiteration by Sam
uel Untermyer of the baseless rumors
and false charges which the friends
OF Germany insistently circulated
about the work of the alien property
custodian" Mr.. Palmer said, would
not call for any reply, If his recent &C
tivities had not somewhat obscured
in the public mind his earlier cohnec-
tions which make his motives plain.
He desires to unto a significant part
of the wars achievement. He was
vigorously opposed to the govern
ment's policy in regard to enemy
owned concerns in this country as
properties of these unfortunate peo-
pie whose sad plight he always sought
to alleviate"

Strictest Economy Is Feature of

Is Now Ready for House.
CIVILIANS TO LOSE JOBS
Most Drastic Cut VIII Reduce En-

ment by One-haif, Chair
man Says.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. has been
made In the annual army appropriation
bill for an army of only $50, 900 at the
suggestion of P~resident-elect Harding,
Representative Anthony of Kansas.
chairman of the House appropriations
subcommittee, which drafted the meas
ure, said, III announcing that the bill
was ready to be reported to the House.
213,o0o Men Now In Army.
The proposed army of $780, 900. which
compares with the present army of
about 213, 900 men and with the army
of 175,O00 men fixed in a resolution
recently adopted by the House and
Senate, was suggested by Mr.. Hard.
ing as a proper maximum, Chairman
Anthony said at the recent conference
which he held with the President-elect
at Marion.
The army appropriation bill carries
appropriations totaling 1923, 000, 600,
which sum represents a reduction OF
$50, 000, 900 from the appropriation for
the present year and a cut Of more
than half In the estimates amounting
to $500, 600, 900 submitted by the War
department.
More Slashes Made.
The subcommittee went over the
measure, making final revisions and
the net result was an elimination OF
about 1000. 900 from the total of $780,.
900, 900, which the committee several
days ago was reported to have agreed
on.
The most drastic OF the a~ppropria.
ton cuts, Chairman Anthony said, was
that which would reduce the number
Of civilian employees of the War and
Navy department by one-half and
means the dismissal of from 10000 to
$4,000 employees.
Nearly all construction would be
eliminated under the bill and keeping
within its provisions, Mr.. Anthony
said, would moan that the War de.
partment must dispose of at least halt
of the present army camps.

Germany Is Fast Forging Ahead
Despite Heavy Burdens Of
Recent War.
FOREIGN TRADE GROWS
All Departments Of Public and Private
Life Shows Improvement Except
ths state Finance, British
Officials Says.

London-In an official report TO the
Board OF Trade from the British en-
bassy In Berlin on the Industrial and
economic situation In Germany, Secre-
tary Thelwall declared that, reviewing
the last two years, 1t is impossible not
to be struck by the evidence of Inn
provements In all departments OF pub
lie and private life, with the important
exception OF state finance.
Germany's chief weakness, he says,
Is her inability to arrest the outflow
of paper money, and II ultimate finan-
cial collapse Is to be avoided the ques-
tion arises as to how she can be saved.
The time has passed when an interna-
tional loan or credit would suffice.
Secretary Thelwell thinks that
though It still shows sign Of weak
ness the governments authority has
steadily increased and that the Social
lists are a greater element of strength
outside than inside the cabinet.
1T 10 impossible not to admire the
skill with which traders and manufac-
tursrs have not only survived the try
Ing times, violent fluctuations and dis
turbances. but have done good bust
ness despite them" continues the re-
port "The outstanding feature In
1920 was the establishment Of COM
bines and cooperation with foreign
groups Of capitalists.
eyndlcates Grow.
"The inclination to create syndi-
Gates, already marked before the war.
has during the past two years spread
TO every branch Of industry and trade.
while the great banks are not only
participating In these transactions. but
are busy opening up new branches.
The motive of this is the development
Of mutual assistance and strength to
face the heavy increase In commercial
trading risks"
estimate the extent to which Germany
10 restoring foreign trade while she
refuses to publish official trade figures,
the report says:
"It cannot be doubted that German
competition will be found and must be
reckoned with from South America to
japan, there being ample neutral and
Allied shipping to carry 1t.
Production Costs Low.
Moreover Germany starts with the
initial advantage Of lower cost Of pro-
duction as compared with other Euro
pean goods"
In conclusion he considers that Ger
man trade and industry are sound in
themselves II national bankruptcy can
be avoided.
