DIR. ALISON GIVES
 ADDRESS AT Y. M. c. A

Rev. Alexander Alison, Jr, had to hold a small reception after his address, in the Y. M. c. A. lobby thlrds of the audience crowded up to him to express their appreciation of his message and their conviction that he had hit the nail on the head.
 The burden of his address was based on the fact that nearly all classes of men today are pointing to another group with the. claim that they are prof1teering in one form or another inflieting injustice on others He asked men to think whether or not the present industrial situation would be as sad as it is if there had been such a recognition of the broth erhood of man that every man whether employee or employer had been dominated by a desire to render to society all he possibly could for the finacial return he himself was re- ceiving.

sistant military attache at London and
OF the British front in Flanders, and
was with the American Army of De-
cupation in Germany. For his valu-
able work he was awarded the Brit
ish Military Cross. Recently he wrote
washington Close-Ups," a series of
character sketches of eminent figures
in the national capital, which the
country is reading with vast enjoyment.
For two years Mr.. Lowry has been
making a close study of the business
of the government. He is given credit
in congress for his aid In passing the
budget bill and in bringing about the
naming of the joint committee of the
house and senate to investigate and
report upon the administration and or
ganization of the government executive
departments. He now wants the peo-
pie of the United States to know the
details of the United States govern
ment, which Is their business. He be-
lieves the knowledge of these details
will make of them better Americans
and give them a better government
No man not imbued with Mr.. Low
RVS high ideal could have carried out
this study of the government business
so eXhaustively and painstakingly as
has he. Probably he now knows more
about it than any other man in the
world. With extraordinary persever-
ance and logged persistence he went
after hidden facts and multifarious de-
tails-and got them. Nothing was too
big for his comprehension or too small
for his attention. At one time he went
to a member of the cabinet with the
statement that the government had m
its payrolls, exclusive of the officers
and men of the army and navy, one
employee for each '6S people of the
United States ten years of age and
owe engaged in gainful occupations.
1t took that cabinet officer, with the
assistants he had at his command, q
considerable time, and considerable eff
fort to verify Mr.. Lowry's statement,
but he found it to be true.
AS the result of his careful studies
Mr.. Lowry has written a series Of ar
ticles on the business of government
income and expense; where the money
comes from, and how and for what 1t
is spent; whether the organization of
the business side of government is eff
cient or inefficient; whether the gov
eminent wastes the money we give 1t.
The series is not in any sense politi-
cal. 1t is not an attack, not a muck
raking expedition. 1t recites facts,
conceded, acknowledged facts. These
facts come from the men In the gov
ernment-from the government itself
and they are all facts that every
American citizen is entitled to know
and should know.
The series of articles on this subject
Of "Where Your Taxes Go" will be
carried in these columns. They should
he read by every American who is In
terested in the welfare of the nation.
The first of the series appears in the
adjoining column.

edward c. LOWRY
A Writer of Recognized Authority
on National Governments
Business Methods.

No Washington correspondent is bet.
ter known or more highly esteemed
than Edward G. Lowry. That in it
self means that he has broad and deep
knowledge of national and world af-
fairs that he is skillful in getting the
news and tactful in writing it, and
that he has the confidence of the pub
lie men with whom he comes in con-
tact. But Mr.. Lowry has more than
that. He has the really patriotic feel
ing that the intimate knowledge of the
nations affairs, which he acquires
through his work in Washington,
should be impaired to the people of
the country who have not his privileges,
in such away that they will be led to
take that personal interest in the doings
Of the government. which alone will
result in good government. He wants
the people to realize that 1t is their
government, answerable to them only,
and that they only are responsible
for it's good qualities and its bad quail
ties. 1t IL this feeling that has in
spired much of Mr.. Lowry's best work.
Born in Atlanta in 1876, Mr.. Lowry
was educated in private schools. the
Georgia Military institute and by priv
ate tutors, and began his journalistic
eareer at the age of twenty-four. In
500 lie was sent to Washington and
3as been there almost continuously
ver 'inee. He has been the political
correspondent OF Harper's Weekly, has
written many articles for the periodi-
al press and since 1913 has been the
Washington correspondent of the New
York Evening Post, and for a consid-
cradle time the managing editor of
hat paper. When Germany started
the Werld war the government natur-
ally found important work for Mr..
Lowry. For two years he was at
taciied to the American embassy in
London, and then he returned to be-
eome Il captain in the aviation section
of the signul carns Then he was as
