NEW YORK, June "A tired
carrier pigeon, which fell into the
lap of Miss Edith j. Shook. a pas
aenger on the steamer President
Garfield, 1000 miles from the Brit

Miss Shook was mistakenly de-

the incident of the pigeon, pointed
out to the immigration men that
she was here only for a two
months visit.

we meant to have more business
in government, we struck at the
extravaganza which grew in wars
fevered activities, we pruned Gov
eminent expenditures and reduced
the Government personnel, not by
thousands but by tens of thousands,
and went long way In reducing
Government outlay.
Measures were adopted to tighten
the taxation load and distribute the
burdens more eQuitably. We sought
to substitute for the exactions of war
the convictions of peace. We inau-
gurated the budget system of Govern
ment financing, and thereby effected
reductions in Government outlay
amounting to billions. OF course,
this enormous reduction was made
possible mainly because we suspend
ed war activities and ended war COM
mitments, but We drove at the ord1-
nary expenditures in the peace-t1me
business of government, and Topped
off hundreds of millions at time,
and we have proven to the world. in
spite Of a gigantic debt and its in
terest burdens, that here is a Gov
eminent resolved to live within its
income.
Big Cut i'm Budget.
The fiscal year, now near its
close, threatened a $500, 100000 de-
ficit when it's fiscal financial budget
was in the making, but we cut and
trimmed, and insisted upon reduced
expenditures, and it will close with d
5000 ZOO, 900 surplus.
These are rather dull facts, but
they are interesting to the Govern
ment because they afford the proof
that Government itself joined in the
tremendously essential task of strik-
ing at its own cost. We were al
ways keeping in mind the people
who pay in lifting our country out
of the slough of depression and de-
spondency.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June e.
The principal portions of Presi-
dent Hording's address last night
on the World Court, follow:
The present National Administra-
ton came into responsibility at a
very difficult time. Our country
found itself in bad way in the
aftermath Of world war. We had
expended in heedlessness, we had
inflated in madness, we had rushed
into the abnormal, and found 10000
difficulties in resuming our normal
stride. There was the inevitable
business slump. 1t follows every
war. 1t applies to business in every
line-finance, industry, agriculture.
And business reflexes are felt by
every citizen, no matter how hum

inevitable reflex of the war tide

tural distress, and vast unemploy-

There is complaint about that, too,
but since we can not always pre-
serve the actual balance, / prefer
land which is seeking workmen to a.
country where discouraged men are
hunting jobs.
We have done more than Danish
unemployment; we have made our
way to financial stability, without
which there is little permanent en-
ployment. And we halted the ex-
tremists who caught their inspira-
ton in European madness, and pro-
posed to destroy our social order
because of temporary ills, rather
than cure the ills.
A Fine Example.
I believe America tonight is a
Tine example to the world, with
confidence in herself, of a people
capable of laying aside their arms,
graphing reconstruction problem,
and digging down to hard work to
effect the needed restoration, rather
than to fling aside all we had
wrought in. century Of honef,,l
progress. and thereby subscribe to
destruction in the name of social
