WASHINGTON. July 9.--Here in
Washington they are calling Charley
Dawes The KcsurrcCtionist."
Mr.. Wcbstcr's dictionary defines
''resurrectionist' as "one who re-
stores, rcvives, renovates. or the
like"
AT first blush the term may seem
n queer appellation to apply TO the
volcanic new director of the budget
the same "cuss!n' brigadier" who
was pershing's right-hand man in
running the business end OF the A.
r. +. In France, and who, upon his

return, almost caused apoplexy
members OF congress by character
izing their Investigations into war
expenditures "a lot OF damned rot"

He's Famous Now.
The ring of that declaration was
heard round the United States and
It effectually stopped, for the time
being at least. any further criticism
OF the manner In which the A. f.
f. spent it's funds.
Now they are calling him THE
Resirrectionist," one who restores,
revives and renovates. Dawes has
set himself to the no inconsiderable
task OF restoring economy IN gov
ernment operation, rcviving conf

During tn war. General Dawes
pointed out. everybody dropped
nearly everything except that which
would help win the war. Every
body dug in and denied Themselves

eye to aiding the government, al
ways with an eye to getting n dis
agreeable job accomplished as
quickly as possible National morale
was raised TO the nth degree and
held there by the flame of jealous
patriotism and united cndeavor Of
the whole people.
Why, asks General Dawes. can't

devoted 70 putting our own house
in order?" as President Harding
characterized II. The menace to tho
government by the slipshod methods
OF federal financing Is every bit as
serious as was the menace offered
by the German armies, General
Dawes believes and unless some
thing is done to relieve the Htua-
tion the system Of government is go
ing 10 break down.
General Dawes does not believe
that the nation can go on spending
money at the rate OF $4,000, 900 900
or $1,000. 100000 year in peace
