UNCLE SAM LIVING
WITHIN HIS INCOME
Receipts Now Cover the Or
binary Disbursements
BIG CUT IN NATIONAL DEBT
Bureau Chiefs Summoned-WiIl Be
Directed BY Harding To Co.
operate In Saving Uncle
Sam Money.

Washington. = The United States
Government, for the first time since it
entered the war, is about to close its
fiscal year with ordinary receipts sufi
cient TO cover its ordinary disburse'
ments and the accomplishment of a
considerable cut in the national debt
In this situation further moves to-
ward economy were taken by the Pres
ident and Director of the Budget
Dawes. They were:
1. The Director of the Budget, with
the authority of the President, called
a meeting Of all Government heads
down to the lesser bureau chiefs and
assistant chiefs to get together for
economy and cooperation. The Presi-
dent will attend and address his as
sistants.
2. J. Raymond McCarl was appoint.
ed Comptroller General of the United
States to cooperate with Mr.. Dawes
on the budget.
8. Senator Willis, Ohio, secured
from the President assurances that ap.
portionment of Government workers
would be made along statutory
grounds.
A reduction of more than $1,000,
100000 in the public debt will be
shown when the United States Gov
eminent closes its books at the end
of the fiscal year 1921, according to
official statements of the Treasury De-
partment.
The Government also during the
year will have lived completely
within the bounds of its ordinary in
come, the official statements show.
The statements. complicated tables
of figures. mean that for the first
year since 1914 the Government has
not only spent less than it took in,
but in addition has saved something
like $1,022, 100000 to pay on it's gi
gantic war debt. Unless unforeseen
demands for cash are presented to
the Treasury Department during the
next six days, the financial condi-
ton of the Government may be de-
scribed as what business men refer
to as solvent and going"
The gross public debt on May 81,
| the last day for which an official
statement is available, amounted to
$23, 2,741,5o2 For the same day a
year ago the debt was $24,974 1853, OPT.
| The reduction was accomplished
through the economy of disburse-
ments At per cent. year the en-
tire debt would be retired in less than
20 years. The sinking fund law re-
quires it to be reduced only at the
rate of 21a per cent. per year.

FLAWS IN BILL
FOR CUTTING ARMY
May Force U. S. to Break En-
Iistment Contracts
LEADERS HOLD CONF ERENCE
President To Sign Bill-WiIl Defer
Correction OF Errors Until. Later
In Order To Avoid Lapse Of
Appropriation.

Washington. - Although President
Harding is expected to sign the Army
Appropriation bill, reducing the stand
ing army to 100000, he probably will
call the attention of Congress to GER
tain provisions of the measure which
he is understood to consider will re-
quire modification at the next session.
The measure, which has been re-
ferred by the White House to the
War Department, was discussed at a
conference of the President, Secretary
Weeks, Speaker Gillett and Republi-
can leader Mondell of the House, Rep
resentative Greene, of Vermont, Re-
publican member of the House Mill
tary Committee and Senator Borah
1t is understood that provision OF
the bill adopted at the suggestion OF
Senator Borah and affecting the re-
duction of personnel occupied most
attention, and that the President ex
planned why he considered that this
provision might need modification la
ter. Senator Borah was said also to
have explained his position frankly.
AS it has come from conference, the
appropriation measure provides that
the reduction to 100000 men must be
accomplished by October 1. War De
partment officials say this will require
the discharge of several thousand mer
| by arbitrary means. Under the Borat
provision, the Department is prohibit
ed from exceeding the actual amount
appropriated, a stipulation which Sec
rotary Weeks is understood to fee
might force the Government, in its
efforts to reduce the enlisted strength
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1921-07-08

to break it's enlistment contracts with
some of the men to be discharged.
The conference is understood to
have been called by the President
with the purpose of explaining the ad
ministration's position in this regard
1t is expected that when he signs the
bill within the next day or two he will
set forth this position in more detail
and will point out what changes he
considers should be made in order to
rectify the situation.
Mr.. Harding had only three days
in which to approve the bill if lapse
of Army appropriations at the begin
ming Of the new fiscal year July 1 was
to be avoided 1t is understood that
the shortness of the time led to his
decision to attach his signature and
leave Objectionable features to be
Strengthened out later.

MUSkRAT ATTACKS BOY.
Goes After Him Six Times Before Bad,
Iy Wounded Lad Escapes.

Allentown, Pa.-Guy, 14-year-old son
of George w. White, of the Fifteenth
ward, is suffering from a serious case
of blood poisoning, resulting from
wounds sustained in a fierce battle
with monster muskrat. The boy
was walking through tall grass on his
way home from school, when the rat
suddenly attacked him, fastening its
teeth in wrist The boy tore the
rodent loose, but it renewed the at
tack five times. Finally the boy was
able to shake off the animal, throwing
it 10 feet, but in so doing he tore a
large piece of flesh from his arm.
Young White hurried home, bleeding
from half dozen wounds, and at once
was put in the care of physician. He
suffers great pain and says the musk
rat was the largest he ever saw.

YOUNG Author Falls Down.

A young author sends me the manu-
script Of story. He claims he hasa
new idea. His "new idea" is this: A
young man and woman are married in
the usual way, and, during their hon.
eymOon, love each other with great
devotion.
But in a year the young man finds
he has tired of his wife, from seeing
her so much; from foo close .associ-
alton. He supposes. of course, that
she has not tired of him; such a pos
sibility does not enter his mind. How
ever, he resolves to be a square man
and confess to his wife just how he
feels. She also talks frankly, and 1t
develops that the wife is as tired of
the husband as the husband is of the
wife.

young author that this is mo develop
ment of new fact In nfe.-E. w.
