mates of appropriations submitted from
the various Government agencies. The
President told him each year that the
budget submitted to Congress should not
exceed a stated figure, and Gen. LORDS
life thenceforth was dedicated to the
task of cutting the total to the stipu-
lated amount.
Gen. Lord was the q son of Maine.
He was born in Rockland, December 6,
1859, and graduated from Colby Uni
versity, Waterville, in 1884, after receiv-
ing common school education at his
home. During and after his college
course, he engaged in teaching, but
turned later to editorial work on news
papers in his home town in Denver,
Colo, and lastly in Cardiff, Tenn.
The next step in his career brought
him here first as a clerk at the Capitol
and later as an Army offlcer. He was
serving as clerk of the House ways and
means committee under the chairman
ship of Nelson Dingley when, in 1898,
the outbreak of the Spanish American
war introduced him to military life. He
entered the Army as major and pay
master of volunteers, and continued to
serve in a commissioned capacity until
his retirement and appointment as bud
get director.
Practically all Of his Army service
was in connection with financial mat
tiers. Twice he was called by Presidents
for special detail away from the Army.
President Roosevelt picked him to aid
in drafting the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law, and President Wilson selected him
as the disbursing officer for Govern
ment relief for the Salem, Mass, fire
sufferers in the Winter of 19l4-15. He
was given an appropriation Of 100000
for the work in Salem and turned back
$153 900 to the Treasury.
When this Government entered the
World War, he was finance offlcer of
the Quartermaster Corps. There fol-
lowed quick reorganization in the Army,
and Gen. Lord was made director of
finance. one job which had Jurisdiction
over every bureau Of the great depart
ment. He was awarded Distinguished
Service Medal for his handling of war
finances.
when Gen. Lord resigned as budget
director, he announced he intended to
take position with the firm of Arthur
s. Kleeman Co., investment brokers, in
New York. Ill health, however, had
prevented any extensive participation in
business.
