Riga.-Extensive military prepara.

diplomatic tension is high. Both the
Bolshevik and Baltic missions at Riga

soviet Russia's last sharp note on the
karelian question, in which Finland
reiterates her previous proposition that
the Karelian question was one for the
league of nations to consider.
A wireless dispatch from Moscow de-
clared that Finnish rolling stock had
been concentrated at junction points.
and that the Finnish reserve officers
had been warned to be in readiness
for war.

SCHWAB MAY
SUCCEED PENROSE
BOOM FOR STEEL MASTER WELL
UNDER WAY-sPRoUL WANTS
OFFICE LATER ON.
MANY WIRE TO GOVERNOR
schwab Might Demand a Full Term,
However, and That Would Not Go
Well With Pennsylvania
Governor.

Washlngton,-A strong boom for the
appointment Of Charles M. Schwab as
senator from Pennsylvania to succeed
to the seat made vacant by the death
OF Boies Penrose has been started in
the western part of the state, 1t is
learned here. Various chambers Of
commerce and civic organizations are
preparing to wire Gov. Sproul to urge
the appointment of Mr.. Schwab.
j, Leonard Replogle, steel magnate.
publicly came out with an Endorsement
OF Mr.. Schwab in telegram to tile
Johnstown chamber of commerce. This
body had been urging Mr.. Replogle's
appointment and had wired Gov.
Sproul in his behalf, but Mr.. Replogle
came back in a telegram strongly urg-
ing that Mr.. Schwab be appointed.
The difficulty about appointing Mr..
Schwab 1t Is learned here, is that he
might not be content with merely
serving out the unexpired term Of
Senator Penrose, and might insist on
being candidate to succeed himself.
This would not set we'll with Gov.
Sproul, who, it is well known, desires
himself to be candidate for the place
In the election next fall.
However, it is pointed out here that
there will be two Pennsylvania SEN
ators to be elected and it would not
be difficult for Gov. Sproul and Mr..
Schwab to divide the places, assuming
that Senator Crow would be willing to
get out of the way.

CHANCE TO FIND GUT

just now u beIated effort il under
way 70 find out some of the facts
about government business and gov
eminent employment. The Bureau OF
the Budget has been organized and
is in operation under the direction OF
Charles G. Dawes.
Both houses of congress are work
ing on the problem of reclass!fication
of government positions and salaries.
The Veterans bureau has been or
ganized and has taken over the bureau
of war risk insurance, that part of
the public health service which had
to do with veterans, and all of the
work of the federal board for voca-
tional education except that part
which had to do with the treatment or
persons injured In the industries.
There is also the inquiry being made
by the Joint committee Oh the re-
organization of the administrative
branch of the government of the two
house of congress-. Of which | have
spoken. Walter Il. Brown of Ohio Is
chairman of this committee, represent
ing President Harding. The members
of the committee are, on the part OF
the senate, Senators Smoot of Utah,
Harrison of Mississippi and Wads-
worth of New York. The members on
the part of the house are Repre-
sentatives Reavis of Nebraska, Temple
of Pennsylvania and Moore of Virginia.
The job of this joint committee is
to make a survey of the administra-
five services of the government for the
purpose of securing all pertinent facts
regarding their powers and duties,
their distribution among the several
executive departments, and the over
tapping and duplication of authority
In reporting the resolution from the
judiciary committee to the house the
members were told:
1t is a matter of common knowledge
that millions of dollars are wasted by
the government by the almost endless
duplication of activities. There has been
no fundamental change in the admins
trative activities since the organization
was deviseds by Alexander Hamilton, and
the result is that activities entirely out
of harmony with the functions of depart
ments nave grown with the passing years
until the government of the United States
has become not only the biggest business
in the world, but the worlds worst man
aged business.
The purpose OF the resolution is TO
