Battle ROYAL

It is fine state of affairs when members of the House
of Representatives have to go before Senate committee
to fight over bill which the House has already passed
Yet that is what is happening in connection with the
District appropriation bill for the coming fiscal year.
Representative Mary T. Norton, chairman Of the Dis
trict legislative committee has announced that she will
ask for time before the Senate Appropriations subcom
mittee having the District bill in charge in order to in
duce the subcommittee to alter the absurd provisions of
the measure passed by her House few days ago.
Similarly the Representative most responsible for
converting the appropriation bill into a National
Capital Urecking bill IDiU take hour of the Senate
committees time in effort to preUent the CON-
mttee from doing the fair and decent thing by the
Federal city.
THE SITUATION THUS CREATED Is INDICA-
TIVE OF THE TEMPER OF THE HOUSE IN CON-
SIDERING DISTRICT LEGISLATION.

nation.
few others would like to tear down the city and
rebuild it along the lines Of tiny Texas town.
The bulk of the other members of the House Just
don't seem to giUe a darn UhGt happens to the city
OUer Whch they exercise complete legislative pOUer
We don't know what the city has done to incur the
enmity and that is what it is) Of the group and
we don't know how the other members can reconcile
their indifference with their oaths Of office.
BUT WE DO KNOW THAT THE PRESENT CON-
DITION IN THE HOUSE CAN ONLY RESULT IN
DETRIMENT TO THE CITY AND WHEN THE Ma
TI0NAL CAPITAL IS HURT THE ENTIRE NATION

His remarks provoked Represent.
ative John A. Martin CD Of
Oklahoma, to say:
81 cannot permit my friend
to get away with the propoSi.
ton that he is the only 'snipe'
in this distinguished body. In
case the members do not know
what q "snipe" is, I may say he
is an individual who handles a
type Of shovel known as a No.
2. I Sniped for a year at S1.1O
q day for 10 long hours each
day and when it comes to the
'Snipe' vote in this body it is
going to be a tie."
Strangely enough some of his
colleagues were of the opinion
that a "Snipe" was a NEUROLOGICAL
creature which some persons hunt
in quiet wooded areas late at
night.

SEEKS CURB

Representative Joseph P. Mona
CHAN D0 of Montana is one Of
the men in the House who favor
curtailing the activities of the
lower courts as far as they act
on the constitutionality of con-
gressional action.
Using the suggestions made by
many of his colleagues on restrain
ing the courts, Monaghan recently
attached to his 30-hour week bill
a provision to curb the tribunals.
His bill would prohibit the
Government from letting bids to
contractors, on Federal aid prof.
ects, who worked employees more
than 80 hours.
The most giA .tion to prevent
the tribunals from passing on
constitutionality came after the
AAA decision. But the elders
agreed generally that such a propo-
Sition would not receive public
support, so it is doubtful that Mr..
Monaghan will make much prog.
resS with his proposition.

The Human Side of the News =

! II you talk with any European
Of standing, he will tell you that
war is inevitable but that he does
not think it viii come for another
year.
It would appear that each ma.
ton over there has 1887 marked
with circle in its little black book
as the year for the next general
conflagrati0n. Maybe so. Perhaps
war will have broken out even be-
fore these words are dry on the
presses.
Yet, looking back to 1914, it
would seem that the best omen
we have that there will be no
immediate European war is the
fact that all nations are talking
war and feveriShly getting ready
for it.
Nations are like individuals, and
like bullets. When they talk a lot
about fighting, they don't fight.
And when they have q feeling that
the other fellow is fully prepared,
they count 10, not only once but
over and oyer again.
In the middle of June, 1914,
British cruisers were at Kiel, Ger
many, as the guests of the German
Emperor. The only sore spot in the
world was Mexico, where Car.
rama, Villa, ct al, were putting on
their continuous revolution. A
long, dull summer was in prospect
for those who looked for excite
ment or even importance in the
news Of the world.
THEY WERE READY
Only a lunatic could have had
the thought in his mind that
within so days England, Russia,
France, Serbia, Belgium, Germany,
Austria Hungary, Bulgaria and
Turkey all would be engaged in a
war which eventually was to en-
compass the entire world!
That war came, not so much be-
cause Of the murder of the Aus
tr1an archduke but, more so. be-
cause the Central Powers were
ready and most of the others were
not. In that early June Of 1914,
names such as Foch, Haig, Hin
denberg, Ludendorff, BruSiloff, Pc
tain, Cadorna and Weygand were
entirely unknown outside Of their
respective countries. Today all we
hear about are generals, the COM
parative sizes Of armies and proph-
ecieS as to what form the war will
take.
Russia has the largest army on
the Continent. as she had in 1914.
Her force today is 100000 men
at arms, with 7,00O,0 900 reserves.
She is also credited with the great.
est air power, 5000 planes.
However, it is well to take these
figures with grain Of salt. They
may be a lot like those issued dur
ing the Five-Year Plan. And what
does anyone know Of Russia when
a foreigner sees only what places
and what things the Bolshevik
wishes him to see?
Leaving Russia aside, italy is
first in man-power, with 1.200, 900
in service and 100000 reserves.
Germany and France are closely
matched with 650,0 600 and SOC, 900
effectives, but Germany's margin
Of 100000 reserves is the item
which worries the French.
England is the least prepared Of
all, and for this reason England

SATURDAY MARCH 28, 1886
 Adverse planetary aspects appear to dominate strongly today, accord ing to astrology. It is time for caution and patient waiting for gui- dance in important enterprises. Warming is given that many ef- forts to deceive will be encountered l under this rule. Secrecy and intrigue in small as we'll as great affairs are | to be expected under this sway of Neptune.
 Agriculturists may be difficult to deal with today. for they come un- der a sign breeding suspicion and a sense of injustice. However they are to benefit as the year advances. This is not an suspicious rule under which to launch any project and the wise will keep their plans secret, for double-dealing may be widespread.
 Emphasis is put upon the import ance of guarding ones conversation Gossip, islander and misrepresenta ton will be due to the impulse of envy and jealousy. Womens organizations may reflect the unfavorable planetary influences and should be careful to avoid per sonal criticisms Much treachery is forecast among persons in all walks of life.
 The evening is fortunate for those who discuss constructive plans. Phil anthropies and welfare agencies are aided by this configuration.
 Girls are advised to provide prac- tical as well as party clothes for the summer which is to bring much ex- citement and many interesting ev- ents in which youth will be promin- ent.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of some dangers through deception They should be extraordinarily careful of money and property.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be clever in money matters, serious in nature and able to win what they think is worth while.

THE '. s. CHAMBERS IDEA
 OF COOPERATION

At various times during the last year or more President Roosevelt has urged upon private industry that it extend itself to the utmost to up the slack of unemployment Government help he stressed time and again solely for the purpose of promot- ing and paving the way toward attempting to solve the difficult problem with which this country need of private business extending its operations so as to absorb the great number of unemployed There are still more than five million who must be cared for.
 About the same time that the President was making his most recent appeal for cooperation in common cause, the United States Chamber of Commerce dominated by reactionary interests passed resolu- tion declaring New Deal legislation hostile to the efforts of industry to increase employment. But usual, the gentlemen who control the national chamber offer no solution to the unemployment problem. They just sit back and cuss the New Deal just they have been doing since they got that terrific that their little pal Herbert Hoover left them with when things crashed around their ears as he went out of office
