almost all of the posts in the United
States. After a short visit at his
home in Michigan. he intends to visit
the few other ports that he has not
yet inspected. He believes that this
is the only way in which he can
conscientiously father the Army
housing bill by seeing for himself
where the money is needed and where
it is needed most.
To make clear just what is being
done and what needs to be done at
the Washington and near Washington
stations, Mr.. James shows C) what
money has already been appropriated
or will be available by July l next;
(2) what the Army program of replace
ment is, and which items he believes
should have priority. and (3) the Army
program for supplemental service
buildings that are to be provided as
soon as officers and men have been
decently housed.
Camp Meade Appropriations.
For Camp Meade, Md, $410,0 for

abstain from all interference with
Frances internal affairs. by ordering
their agents and those of the Third, or

PILSUDSKI SUSPENDS
POLISH Diet 80 DAYS
Bitterness Shown by Deputies
Against Premier, but None
Dares to Ask Vote.

By Cable to The, Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright, 1877.
WARSAW, September 21.-Marshal
Plsudski prorogued the Polish Diet
today for 80 days, after a 'one-day ses-
sion. The deputies shouted You fear
us, cowards!'' at the government.
Pilsudski still is master of the situa-
ton and is able through his personal
position to deprive the Diet of all
power, but the Diet is plucking up its
courage because of the inevitable ap-
proach of an election in January or
February at the latest.
Although Pilsudski was expected to
cut the Diet session short, such quick
action was a surprise. The motive ap-
parently was TO prevent passage OF
a law permitting the Diet to dissolve
itself. The deputies were sullen, but
the majority did not want to fight and
no one had the courage TO propose
vote of no confidence.
Pilsudski is being criticized because,
while he has constantly undermined
the authority OF the Diet. he has pro-
posed constitutional reform to cure
its weakness. Thus the welfare of
the country depends upon Pilsudski
only. and if he should die the result
would be chaos.

Donovan revealed today in a letter
transmitting the budget to the Bureau
of the Budget. This total, he pointed
out, is computed upon the basis of
continuing during that fiscal year the
present tax rate of $1.70, which the
Commissioners believe will, with other
funds collected by the District and
the contribution of $9,000,000 by the

The regular estimates call for $780,
Ss6.774, or $l,0S2.300 more than the
limit fixed by the Budget Bureau. The
increase over the ALLEGATION, Auditor
Donovan explained, arises through
provision being included in the 1923
budget for certain items, which the
Commissioners, at the time the tenta'
tive estimates were submitted. con-
templated recommending as supple.
mental estimates for the 1928 hscal
year. This arrangement mad the IN
formal approval of the Budget Bu-
reau.
The items comprising the additional
81 ,O82, 800 are as follows:
Completing domestic service and
new ward buildings at Gallinger Mu.
nicipal Hospital, $520,000; erection of
home for nurses at Columbia Hospital,

900; replacing elevators in the hos
pital, $4,000; erection of an addition
to the electrical department storehouse

the Court House building, $4,000, and
preliminary surveys for the munich
pal airport at Gravelly Point, $15O.OOO.
