TREASURY FAVORS
TAX REDUCTION If
EXPE&ESARECUT
But Says 'Mere Talk
Will Not Bring About
Savings.

Treasury officials have informed
the House Ways and Means Commit
tee that suggestions of Chairman
Fordney, Republican Leader Mendell
and Chairman Madden of the Appro-
priations Committee, for avoiding
new taxes, are excellent If the con-
templated savings in expenditures
are actually put into effect instead
of being merely talked about
Treasury officials do not attempt
to take issue with estimates of the
House leaders as to possible reduc-
tions in expenditures by s500.o00,00
below the Treasury figure. They
point out, however, that on the
basis of appropriations as they now
stand, together with unexpected bal
ances, revolving funds, and othel
provisions under which the Treasury
actually has to pay.Out money, the
government cannot be run during
the coming year without some addi-
tional tax levies. They admit that
the reductions can be made but en-
phasize the fact that the Treasury
is powerless to make them and that
it is up to Congress to do so.
Names Possible Savings.
As an example of the manner ir
which reductions could be made 1T Is
pointed out that while the army ap'
preparation bill carries a total oi
something more than 300.000,000 the
official estimates of the War Depart
ment as to actual expenditure rur
considerably more than $400,0O0,00O
The difference is accounted for ir
the fact that there is an unexpendet
balance from the previous yea
which the War Department is au'
thoriZed to expend.
Another place in which a saving
can be made is in conection with the
Shipping Board. Thesboard has esti'
mated that it will need at least ZOO.
600, 900 additional, and the question
remains whether Congress actually
will keep this appropriation down &c
500, 900, 900 or less.

DISCOVERS SENATE
WANTS TOGO HOME
G. o. P. Whip to Ask Harding
to Let Them Go Until Dog
Days Are Over.

Senator Curtis. Republican whip,
in an Informal poll of the Republi-
can members of the Senate, found
S5 out. of the so in favor of an i'm
mediate recess. Practically all of
the Democrats will vote that way,
Senator Curtis also learned. It is
possible that even more than 35 Re-
publicans will sign up. but Senator
Curtis has not seen them all, owing
to the absence from the city of
some who are taking little recesses
on their own account.
With this information, Senator
Curtis will be waiting in the front
line at the White House when Pres
ident Harding returns, to tell the
President of the general WEAKNESS
of the elder statesmen. He will sug-
gest that the President countenance
a recess until about the middle of
September, when the senator's will
be able to return to their desks like
lions refreshed.
1t is agreed among senators that
IL the Presidents railroad relief bill
is considered before recess is
taken, there will be no recess at all.

SENATE, IN DARK
ON BERLIN PACT,
GETS IMPATIENT
Members Becoming Curl.
GUS Over Treaty Being
Negotiated.
(By Chicago Tribune servioe.)

Curiosity, accompanied by some
impatience. is being manifested by
the Senate concerning the new
treaty of peace with Germany.
which. according to dispatches from
Berlin, is now in the Anal processes
of negotiation.
So far the Senate has been kept
completely IN the dark about the
negotiations. Although members OF
the Foreign elations COMMITTEES
keep an ever-watchful eye on the
administrations moves in inter
national diplomacy, their ignorance
concerning the treaty-making now
in progress parallels only their
inability to obtain information
while the Versailles treaty was
being framed. The only light they
have been able to get has com.
through newspaper dispatches, and
this has been dimmed by admin,s-
tration declarations that they are
wide of the mark.
Democrats May Act.
Democratic Senators may be ex,
pected at an early date to begin
prying under the veil Of secrecy at
tending the negotiations, and it
would not be surprising IL some Re-
publicans Joined with them in ask
ing questions about the progress OF
the treaty-making. There Is also a
strong likelihood that Democrats
will take occasion to remind the
Republicans that one of the prin-
cipal complaints they made agains,
the Wilson administration during
the campaign was its refusal to
take the Senate into it's confidence
while the buiIdin gof the Versailles
pact was in progress. The Demo-
Gratis. it is reliably reported, are
planning to make all the capital
they can out Of the alleged deadly
parallel" "
Inquiries at the State Department
concerning relations with Germany
elicit no information beyond the
bare admission that Ellis Loring
Dressed. American commissioner at
Berlin, Is engaged in deliberations
with the authorities there.

CHIEFS FROM JAIL
Sim Fein Members Will
Get Freedom to Hear
Peace Plans.
Especial Cable to The Washington Herald
and United GevI.)

Especial Gable to The Washington Herald
and United NewE.)
DUBLIN, Aug. 6.-Immediate and
unconditional freedom for all men,
bers of the Sim Fein parliament,
imprisoned or interned. was an
nounced late this evening at Dublin
Castle.
The sole exception was a men,
Der Of the Dali Eireann who was i'm
prisoned on a charge of murder. He
will be held for future action.
Government Keeps Promise.
The announcement was in line
with the governments promise that
the members would be released
when called by President" De Va
lera to pass on the British peace
proposals.
Despite the fact that many OBJ
serves believed there was little hope
of a peace agreement, 50 long as
Ulster refuses to decide with Sim
Fein that De Valera shall represent
all ireland in the final negotiations,
there was believed to be some hope
in the fact that arrangements. for
the Dali Eireann meeting were pro-
ceeding.
May Continue Negotiations.
1t was the firm belief of many that
the Sim Fein cabinet has decided
there is a foundation for further ne
gotiations with Great Britain. This
decision is expected to be presented
to the Dali Eireann for its approval,
II the approval is voted the assump-
tion is that De Valera will communi-
cate with Premier Lloyd George,
presenting his suggestions for con-
tinuing the peace conferences.
Labor Problem Arises.
Ulster is recognized as a big
stumbling block. There was no hope
that that section of Ireland will con-
sent to a conference in any part OF
the island prior to resumption of the
conferences IN London.
Meanwhile, IL was becoming a
question whether De Valera can
really command a majority of the
Dali Eireann. A troublesome labor
question was arising in the form OF
railway control. Government con-
troll of the Irish roads ceases Mon
day and the workers will face wage
adjustments. Many workers would
prefer that the government remain
I'm control in order that wages may
be kept up. Sim Fein leaders object
to any form of British control OF
even support Of the lines.
