these steps are I am not willing to
state at this time. I can only cay
that the Police Department is on

Coonstantinople, Aug. 2.-The pre-

troops across the Bosporus to rein

line, 80 miles west, continued through
out the day. This measure is being
taken in order to be prepared to OPP

Additional British reinforcements

Sundays conference of Allied gen

any possible attempt by the Greeks
to take ConStantinople. The real dam
ger, however, is believed to rise not
from the possibility of an order to
advance from the Greek high COM
mand, but from the exalted feeling
among Greek troops, whose advance
of their own accord is considered pos
Slble.

to keep up steam in readiness for

BUREAUCRACY

Senator Stanley Declares
Hidden Bureaus Threaten
To Enslave Country
Cites Press Muzzling-Charges APP
pointees of Whispering Propa
ganda" More Powerful Than Courts

Washington, Aug. 2.-Attacking
the hidden bureaus" in Washington
that invade local self-government and
the rights of the States, Senator A.
o. Stanley, Democrat, Kentucky, in
a speech in the Senate yesterday de-
clared that bureaucracy in the Fed
eral Government threatens to enslave
and bankrupt this country. He said:
There is more power today eX-
ercised in these marble sarcophagi
by unknown experts, the politically
controlled appointeeS of whispering
propaganda, than by the courts them
selves. The cost has become unbear-
able. 1t has been said that there are
100000 pensioners on public
bounty, and if that IS true there is
an officeholder, tax-eater, on the
back of every two taX-producers IN
the United States.
THAT situation crushed France and
produced the French revolution; it
was the bane and damnation of Ger
many, and a like condition Will en-
slave and bankrupt this country"
Senator Warren, Of Wyoming, Re-
publican, chairman of the Appropria
tions Committee, agreed that the in
crease in bureaucratic control in
Washington had made it difficult to
bring about economies in appropria-
tionS.
Senator Stanley mentioned speci-
fically the latest attempt to set up
new Federal control, that of newSpa
perS and magazines publishing bet
ting odds on horse races, automobile
races, prize fights and all contests of
skill and endurance. Such bill is
pending before the Judiciary Com
mitte6d, the proposal of the reform
clement being that any publication
carrying betting odds and results
shall be debarred from the mails.
Discussing recent reports of APP
preparations for the session as made
by Chairman Warren, of the Appro-
prlationS Committee, Senator Stanley
said:
Il will cheerfully say that the able
and capable Senator from Wyoming,
Mr.. Warren, the chairman of the COM
mittee on Appropriations, has made
an earnest, honest and indefatigable
effort, in my opinion, to curtail ex-
penditures, Ind my differences with
him do not imply that he is particeps

However, it is true that an analy-
sis of the expenditures of this Gov

take partisan advantage or to make

entirely to the dereliction IF the party

boards and bureaus and of every
other agency ever utilized or ever
abused by a paternahstic regime.
