slstant military attache at London and
on the British front In Flanders, and
wag with the American Army of Oc
cupation In Germany. For his valu
able work be was awarded the Brit
ish Military Cross. Recently he wrote
“Washington Close-Ups,” a series of
character sketches of eminent figures
In the national capital, which the
country is reading with vast enjoyment.
For two years Mr. Lowry has been
disking a close study of -the business
of the government. He is given credit
In congress for his aid In passing the
budget bill and to bringing about the
naming o f the joint committee of the
house and senate to Investigate and
report upon the administration and or
ganization of the government executive
departments. He now wants the peo- ¡
pie of the United States to know the !
details o f the United States govern- |
ment, which Is their business. He be
lieves the knowledge of these details
will make o f them better Americans
and give them a better government.
No man not imbued with Mr.*Low
ry’s high ideal could have carried out
this study of the government business
so exhaustively and painstakingly as
has he. Probably be now knows more
about It than any other man In the
world. With extraordinary persever-
ance and dogged persistence he went
after bidden facts and multifarious de-
, tails—and got them. Nothing was too
big tor his comprehension or too small
for his attention. _ At one time he went
to a member of the cabinet with the
statement that the government had on
Its payrolls, exclusive o f the officers
and men o f the army and navy, one
employee for each 68 people of the
United States ten years of age and
over engaged to gainful occupations.
It took that cabinet officer, with the
assistants be had at his command, a
considerable time, and considerable ef
fort to verify Mr. Lowry’s statement,
but he found it to be true.
>Ae*the-T6sult of -his careful studies
Mr. Lowry has written a series of ar
ticles on the business o f government
income and expense ; where the money
comes from, and how and for what it
Is spent; whether the organization of l ^ T i m e
the business side of government is effi
cient or inefficient ; whether the gov-
'*rmp«r>t wastes the money
