TArS FOR H4Sl,

Slowly the giant figures of the world var pass out, Mangln, French have crossed the StyS: Kitchener dc- parted during the conflict no man knows how To the short list now is added the name of Earl lals, British field marshal and con1 mander in chief of the empires forces on the western front from 1915 to the end of the conflict.
 There has been some dispute as 10 Halgs capabilities Lloyd George s war government was frequently at odds with the commander and planned to subordinate him occa- sionally but feared public criticism; for in the hearts of Britons general ly Haig was held in high esteem. This confidence dated from the early days of the war. when he dis tinguished himself as an able de- fense fighter. Later in the war heavy losses came to his forces, but they were as much due to inadequate support from London as from any other cause. In 1918, in the midst ot the final serious German drive, his famous words that the Allies were fighting with their backs to the wall had an ejectrifying effect throughout the Allied nations and spurred them to the enormou. activities that later resulted in vic tory.
 Halg had qualities that are pc culiarly British. He was personifie' bulldog tenacity. His courage neve
 wavered. As A stratcgst he did no knocks and attribution-whicl finally won the war. When the wa ended he was British commander

FACE TO FACE WITH EXPANDING BUDGETS

Ones sympathy naturally goes out l to Edward r. Hall, chairman Of the board of finance and taxation. With a furrowed brow he glanced at rows of figures last night; with deter imitation he began figuring: words that accompanied the statistical rit- ual were as pointed as his lead pen cil.
 Possessing A well-carncd rcputa- ton as pruner of budget estimates those soft-soap bubbles which arc sent up every year around this time by eager department heads-he was confronted with even worse task than in previous years. Perhaps that evening he had read in these columns the ontinous fact that if fi- nance board allows all the budgets as they stand the tax rate would be 3o2 mills. compared with the pres ent o5.5 mills.
 Who ever heard of Hall giving his consent 10 2 tax jump Of nearly seven mills in one year" And this an election year. too.

HOONIR'S MARRIAGE

The marriage between Herbert HooN CT. 3 Quaker, and Mrs, Hoover, an Erlseoralisn, by Catholic priest, naturally has aroused deal of comment When 'he news item appeared in the Herald comment horcabor's uas that inc priest had no rlght 10 marry two Protest ants and that the matter no doubi would bc investigated. The investigation, if such it may he called. has gone far enough to determine that the priest first got thc consent Of h's bishop.

There are certain religious forms about if. and in the Catholic church Inc rule is that one Of the cont tracting parties should hc 3 mep1ber of that rhurrh 1T h,s7o1 gives consent to brcth this ruir II i, entirely q matter for the latter, aud apparently thero arc conditions that allow 3 change in the rule. thougl | If may he rare.

For permanent pavements. which does not come under the regular board of public works appropriation, only 33O.00O is asked-a low enough sum considering the unity in de- manding new street pavemcnts. The fire department, needing another building. needs more than the po- lice department.
 The health department is viding hard. It's budget of $e12..65 includes an incinerator and isolation hospital fund. Although Hall said some time ago an incinerator is needed. he also said it could not be considered this year. Nothing seems more certain than that it can't be allowed.
 The park system is costing more every year. The city Is proud of it's parks and appreciates them nightly in the summer time. The park coln mission has doubled it's budget over last year. hoping to improve the roads through some of the parks, Walnut Hill especially: and it plans 10 beautlfy and develop numerous small parks and pay its share of the "hleacher money It cannot be said, perhaps, that the park board needs all the money requested. but there Is no doubt if needs consider ably more than it has had if 1t is to function satisfactorily.
 With all this facing the city, the ! income is lees than $76.ooo greater l than last year. And if the water board goes through with its plan to enlarge the city's water supply aud 1 improve its equipment the bonded | indebtedness will get considerably 1 higher, with increased interest and sinking fund payments to meet.
 Faced with this prospect. the hearings before the finance hoard, to continue the forepart of this week
 no doubt will yield much public ln' formation of importance. The pros pect of these expenditures, needed
 as many of them undoubtedly are
 is sufficient to make the civic fathers
 nervous. The finish no doult will bt

Frjnds Of consolidation have been informed that the registrars are en- deavoring to arouse feeling of op- position against the new charter. as- signing various reasons, but in real ity because their compensation will apparently be lesscned. Mir. Hatch. who is member of the committee on consolidation, said last evening that he had not heard Of any such action on the part of the registrars. He believes the outlook for conso,i- dation is bright and that all the controversial problems have been disposed of. No opposition is ex- pected in the legislature.

WAR IN CHICAGO

One day last week word came out of Chicago that a History opera house would be constructed. Pic lures, also, were printed. Wonderful enterprise, that. It was a. blow to New York. too, where the plan to construct new Metropolitan opera house has all but failed. Chicago did not fail to compare its enterprise with that of New York. either. But then, down in New York grand opera hasn't got Sam lnsull to boost it along. The opera magnates in New York are far more con- servative than the western utility ma gnate. A ''coupla million" more or less makes no difference at all to Sam; the man who can make such heavy contributions to senatorial primary campaign as to stir the country doesn't need to worry about a new grand opera house.
 Another day last week--shortfy after the opera story got going, 1 came additional information out of Chicago indicating that the war to end wars had not yet resulted in complete victory for peace. It seems that the police had been closing up some gambling dens and the propri- etors began obiecting. Several homes of public officials were bombed by indignant bomb-throwcrs.
 Now comes additional informa tion. The Thompson administration finally having succeeded in busting the ''stool pigeon of King George,
 has looked about and decided tn, gangsters had gone far enough. Th'
 police are actually beginning t
 fight back. Gang headquarters hay
 been raided. and the threat has bcel made to light the gangsters to
 finish"
 If true, that is better than build ing a History opera house, althoug nothing will prevent the wind city from achieving both aims if tn first year or so isn't found too en
 grossingly difficult.

sought to hide how his knot was tied. The fact that he was married by a Catholic priest would indicate he has liberal ideas about religion.
