PARIS. June 4.-Despite the reserva-
tion on Silesia and the Rhine customs
in Chancellor Wirth's speech in the
reichstag. which somewhat weakened
it's tone. 1t is more and more clear
that France is momentarily inclined
to give Germany the benefit of the
doubt and accept Professionally the
program the new chancellor offers at
it's face value and hope for the best.
Minister Of War Barthou announced
today. on his return from a visit to
the Rhine land. that the class Of 1919,
which was suddenly called up by
BRAND, is now preparing to demobil-
ize.
IF Germany continues to give
tangible proof of her good will" Bar
thou said. the entire class will re-
turn home at the end Of the month"
The class is composed of about
10000 tweny-year-olds. whereof
many gave up their studies and vo-
cations. when the premier sent out
the mobilization order from London
on the night of May 1. DR.. Wirth's
promises change, the situation and
make the 1919. class a 'superfuous
force on the Rhine. The regular units
Of Degouttes army continue on the
Rhine, For fear his word might be
misinterpreted in Germany Barthou
issued a formal statement saying:
THE. Rhine army is ready for ac-
tion to obtain guarantees for France
and for the defense Of her rights.
Always with this background France
is safe in accepting the reichstag
utterances., >-,...s..-. .-.----.- -,

Republican senator's and representa.

during the national campaign last sum

AS week after week Of the present
Congress has rolled by the appropria-
tions have rolled up in staggering dg-
ures and promise to continue to do so
unless a determined halt is called.
Some Of the republican members
frankly are admitting that even 2 be-
ginning in a curtailment OF, expendi-
lures has yet to be made. and some
Of them are wondering what is go
ing to happen to them in the elections
next year. IL steps are not taken to
cut down these expenditures.
Huge Appropriation Increases.
-. The naval appropriation BILL. as 1t
passed the Senate, Is approximately
s1oe, 900, 600 larger than it was when
it passed the House. nearly half q
billion dollars all told. 1t is about
$50 900, 900 greater than was the naval
appropriation act for the fiscal year
now ending.
The Army appropriation bill. which
is to come before the Senate this week.
carries in the neighborhood of
$685., 200, 900.
The second deficiency bill which has
Just passed the Senate. carries about
sl5o, ,o0o, 900, including millions of. dol
lars for the Shipping Board. which
was the subject of severe attack by
Senator Kenyon of Iowa and others,
who declared that the Shipping Board
is wasting millions of dollars each
month.
~ Banking on Budget Bill.
Just where the promised cut in ex-
penditures is to come has not yet been
made clear, it is said. The repub!i-
cans, however, are banking upon the
newly enacted national !. budget bill
and the coming reorganization Of the
executive departments to work for
economy of expenditure,
At the same time that these large
appropriations are being made. the
