WASHINGTON'. Dec. 29. Two
of the 15 bills carrying appropri
ations to run the government dur
ing the year beginning next July
1, reached the house today and
were given more than the usual
preliminary scrutiny because of
the announced intention of repub
lican leaders to cut government J
expenditures.
The sundry civil bill, which con
tains the miscellaneous appropri
ations, as reported carries a total
of $383,611,262. This total, rep
resents a slashing of $420,914,192
from the estimates submitted by
the government departments and
a reduction of ,$52,237, 514 from
the amount appropriated through
the same bill last year.
The cut in estimates for the
postoffice bill, the other appro
priation, measure submitted, how
ever, was not so great and the
expenditure recommended repre
sented a considerable Increase over
this yar's appropriation. The meas
ure as reported carried $573,964.
721, a reduction ofi $11,442,181
from the amount asked by the
postoffice department but an in
crease of $69,530,021 over the ap
propriation for the current year.
Democratic leaders were prompt
to point- out that the sum total
carried by both bills.' if passed, as
submitted by the appropriations
committee would add. about $17,:
000,000, to the- cost or running
the gogvernment next year.
Republican leaders were equally
prompt In declaring that there was
abundant ground for gratification
on their part, inasmuch as they
had used the pruning knife on
estimates of democratic depart
ment heads without mercy.
Outside of the $223,000,000
provided for the care of the dis
abled service men and dependents
of those killed, the sundry civil
measure left only $160,611,292
for all other purposes, as compared
with $126,000,000, the amount
appropriated Jn . 1916i
The committee reported that the
increase in the postoffice "appropri
ation was due principally to the
$10,000,000 increase in the pay of
city letter carriers; the $36,000,
000 Increase allowed the railroads
for mall transportation and the
$12,500,000 increase in pay of
clerks and employes.

President-Elect Harding
Occupied With Important
Political Affairs
MARION. Dec. 29. A wide va
uety of subjects, including the
coal situation, packer control and
the naval building program were
talked over by President-elect
Harding today in a dozen confer
ences which kept him busy from
early morning until late at night.
The coal production problem
was presented to him by Daniel
H. Wentz of Philadelphia; presi
dent of the National Coal associa
tion who furnished detailed infor
mation about the present rate of
production and the outlook Tor
the coming year. Mr. Harding
asked many questions on the sub
ject, but it was not indicated

,u , . dustry

Panama a dangerous one. Our
greatest trouble will be finding
suitable anchorage grounds for
the seaplanes in the west coast
Mexican bays and harbors. The
question of fueling also is an im
portant one, ana we Know it we
solve this problem satisfactorll
we have gained, much." ""
The flight to' Panama and re-H
turn is about 1800 miles longer
than that which was made across
the Atlantic.
Success, say naval airmen, will
create an epoch in naval aeronau
tics and. will open up a new era in
the employment of aircraft with
the high seas fleet.
Three thousand miles of coast
line, hitherto untraversed by ve
hicles of the air; will pass swiftly
under the v.ings of the 14 sea
planes as they speed southward
toward the Panama canal. Un
charted air lanes, treacherous air
currents and unfamiliar bays and
harbors are some of the con
ditions that the pilots of the sea
planes must meet

of naval construction, the presi
dentelect sought irt format ion
irom Representative Patrick Kel

house sub-committee which hand
les naval appropriations. Means
of cutting down expenditures
without crippling national de
fense were discussed at length.
Mr. Kelley suggesting that while
the present building program was
being completed, an international
agreement might be perfected for
limitation of armaments. He al
so urged that the naval reserve
plan be perfected as an inexpen
sive guarantee of sufficient naval
personnel.
A committee from Chicago,
headed by S. B. Stafford, presi
dent of the Chicago Livestock ex
change, took up with Mr. Harding
the question of government regu
lation of the livestock industry
and presented a plea' that during
the next four years the business
should not be harassed unduly by
legal restriction. They asked that
a. secretary of agriculture be se
lected in harmony with that poli
cy but said afterwards that they
had not put forward any particu

AH the members of the delega

developments regarding cabinet

given by those close to Mr. Hard

be definitely chosen In the near

If there ever wan a lime In the
history of the world when human t'lle
sympathies should be stirred to

period. A mere recital
of the facts should fill our heart
with the tender emotions that
rrnmpted the Master to say: "Sur
fer little children to- come unto
me. and forbid them not. for such
is the kingdom of Heaven.'
General Pershing, continuing,
spoke in favor of world disarmament.
'The world doesn't sem to
learn from experience." he said.
' It would appear that the lesson
of the past six years should be
enough to convince everybody of
the danger of nations striding up
and down the earth armed to the
teeth. But no one nation , can
rednce armament unless all do.
"Ours is not an agsresMve na
tion. We want no territory and
we have no designs on other fVo-
p.e. If other nations have th
same attitude it seems unreason
able nof to lelieve that all would
be willing to prove It by consent
ing to limit armaments."
An important step to prevent
a recurrence of a world war even
greater than the one . recently
ended would be to curtail expen
