WHY THE HURRY =.

An automobile containing
twelve persons and said to be
going sixty miles an hour sped
across the Highway bridge
from Virginia a few nights ago.
Failing to make the turn at the
north end of the bridge. the big
car left the road and turned
over twice before stopping at
the foot of the embankment. =
The result of this one case of
speeding was one person In

LORD TOREQUEST
BUDGET CHANGES
Will Return D. c. Estimates
for Alterations During
Next Two Weeks.

Director Lord of the bureau of the
budget has made study Of the Dis
trict of Columbia preliminary esti-
mates for 1925. asking $32.5O0,000, and
within two weeks will return it to
the Comm ssioners with "recommen-
dations."
What these recommendations will
be Gen. Lord today would not specifi-
callv indicate, but II was plain that
most of the preliminary estimates
submitted August l by the depart
ments will have to be reduced to
bring the estimates for 1925 within
the figure asked by the late Presi-
dent Harding-figures which Director
Lord intends to follow.
The death of President Harding
may delay somewhat the operations
of the bureau of the budget. but Gen.
Lord expects to proceed along the
lines of endeavor. to promote eff
cheney and economy. and to bring the
1925 budget. exclusive of the post
office and pl &C debt charges. within

Whether the District budget will

INDIGNATION GROWS
IN GERMANY OVER
KRUPP SENTENCES
APPELLATE COURT MAY YET
ACT TO SILENCE Discomfort,
HARDEN POINTS OUT.
By MAMMALIAN HARDEN

Berlin, May 2O.-The wave of indig-
nation which followed the Krupp SEN
fences increases rather than subsidies.
There never has been more talking
done in Germany about honor and
shame, dignity and disgrace of the
courts than in the last week. This
too, despite the fact that Germany is
the very land where it always has
been. declared all honor and justice
abides.
The moral fervor evoked by the
French sentences is remarkable when
it is recalled there long has been no
genuine Krupp at the head of the
great works, the male line having
been extinguished in the third genera
ton when Alfred Krupp sent a bullet
into his head because Kaiser Wilhelm
with characteristic preciptancy and
without proof, accused him of sexual
crimes, and Krupp also held the fool
ish notion that honor was something
that could be given or taken away by
another person, like titles, decorations
or other gew gaws.
Naturally the suicide was concealed
and rumors thereof contradicted by
the physicians. The kaiser made a
thunderous Grafton at the grave, de-
claring that only fellows without a
fatherland had the Krupp honor been
attacked. So we lived in 1905 and so
we live in 1923.
Won BOHLEN ABLE MAN
The 23-year old daughter of the
then richest man in Europe was mar
ried by the kaiser to his portege, Herr
Won Bohlen Und Halbach, a Prussian
nobleman woh belonged to the kais
er's student corps at Bonn and had
been trained to elegant beer drinking
and student duels. He received i'm
perial title of ambassador and was
permitted to assume the name of
Krupp Won Bohlen Und Halbach, thus
becoming head of the house whose
entire capital stock belonged to the
Krupp family and cannot be bought on
the bOurse.
In this position it must be admitted
he has conducted himself like gen
tleman and has shown warm inter-
est for the business. 1t is impossible
to say whether this interest has been
continued since Herr Wiedfeldt was
taken from the craftsmanship of Essen
directors-his place has never been
flled-and sent to Washington as am
bassador. The newspaper reports of
the French court martial do not i'm
plicate Won Bolen seriously in acts of
sabotage. While the verdict and SEN
tence caused anger it must be re-
membered that this is the only court
of first instance and that the appellate
court can revise or reverse the verdict
for which, after all, neither the French
people nor government were response
bic.
Both the French people and gov
eminent, nevertheless, have been at
tackled by the people and the high

Geramn officials. Yet nobody needs
fear this Millionaire will go the same
way into martrydom as did all those
poor devils who were sent to Jail by
the German government because they
permitted themselves to be led into
illegal acts by their belief that there
had been a German revolution.
Instead of the attacks on the French
along lines which seriously hamper
diplomatic intercourse the men re-
sponsible for German policies should
ask themselves whether they have not
enormously damaged German honor
by bringing on the country within a
single week the four notes of Poincare
Curzon, Mussolini and Theunis, all of
whom declare Gemany's reparations
