The first month of his econ' omy program shows expenditures of $1, 933,249,000, "said Borah. . "This sets a new record for one month V expenditures. " Martin replied that he had been as sured by Secretary Baker and others that immediate reduction in spending would be made. "If war expenditures go on in peace times, the country will soon go tip in to bankruptcy," said Martin. "I can assure the senate that when requests for appropriations come here they will be pruned down." , . The purchase by the war department of a rifle range in North Carolina and continuation of work on a training camp at Columbus, . 6a., were cited by senators to prove that tho war depart ments continting to spend appropria tions niado for war purposes only. The riflo range, Senator Curtis de clared-, was bought at a cost of $2,000, 000 after congress had refused to gfant an appropriation of 1,500,000 for the purchase. Borah asked administration senator to tell how long a large force of Amtr ican soldiers are to be in France at the expense of the nation, "We are told a million or more are to stay there indefinitely." said Borah, "I'd like to know how long indefinite ly is." Senator Martin pointed eut tnat tne draft law limits the sorvice of drafted men, so that they must be brought home promptly after the. signing of the peaco treaty.

The main force has reached the line, of Kuppcrath, Boos, Coucrnich, Mayen Greimersburg, Simmcrn and Kellcn bach. In view of the revolutionary condi tions, the Americans plan to deal witi whatever party is in power. In only three towns have they found a work men's and soldiers' council as the de faeto eovemment. They dealt with them the same as they havo with the presence, people are so accustomed to nulitury discipline that they submit tamely to any form of it. Still another is that the peoplo have not yet had time to grasp the lightning-like change of ovents, or are submitting through fear of the consequences of an outbreak. Some officials hold tho theory that tho Germans are playing a shrewd propaganda game, thus trying to gain the sympathy of the Americans, which they would turn to their account aftor peace is signed. The latter is not re garded as likely, however, es tho ma jority of the people make no attempt to fraternize and do not conceal that they are not glad about the Americans' burgomasters. At Treves the burgomas ter was working in harmony with the -workmen's and soldiers' council. The occupation of German territory thus far has been remarkably pacific. Although facilities have been given for complaints to tho commands of both ar mies, not a single complaint or arrest was made; cither by tho Americans or Germans. Tho Americans are holding hundreds of square miles of enemy ter ritory and ruling hundreds of thousands of enemy people, yet there has not yet been a single overt act of hostility by a person of responsible age reported. Is Bemarkable Record. Military officials experienced in oc epation of enemy countries consider this a remarkable record. They are puzzled to account for the lack of bit terness, considering that tho Germans, farnkly admit they believe America's intervention snatched victory away from them. Several reasons are assign ed: One is that the people are so weary they are glad the war is over, even if it. means defeat. Another is that the Heal Skin Diseases ft is unnecessary for yon to suffer with eczema, blotches, ringworm, rashes and similar skin troubles. A little temo, obtained at any drug store for 35c, or $L0O for extra large bottle, and ffromptly applied will usually give instant relief from itching torture. It cleanses and soothes the skin and heals quickly and effectively mosf skin diseases. i Zemo is a wonderful, penerratin& Dis appearing liquid and is soothing to the most delicate skin.

With the exception of the requisition of public buildings, some coal and for ago, part use of the railways and tele phones and the billeting of officers with civilian families, it has not affect ed the private life of the Germans in the slightest degree. American Policy. The policy of tho Americans in charge of civil affairs has been to im pose restrictions only as it is shown they are needed, but they are prepared to impose, and enforce, the most strin gent and drastic laws if , necessary. When the army completes its marches and takes the positions designated in tho armiBtice, it is probable that a number of restrictions will be promul gated which arc now hold in abeyance because of difficulty of enforcement while the army is on the move. The occupation of Treves and other large; towns in the Bhineland is pre senting strange situations for both Am ericans and Germans. The Americans are unable to get acenBtomed ,to seeing grey-clad men the sight of whom only a few weeks ego meant to, kill or be killed walking about or standing on the street corners, or plowing fields beside the roads. - Sometimes groups of German soldiers are encountered marching homeward alongside the American eolnmns. They keep to their own side of the road, however. Guard Bridges. Military police are guarding bridges and railways nd patrolling the streets of the occupied cities and Tillages. The hotel lobbies, restaurants and movies are thronged with American officers. 1 The people never seem to get accus tomed to tho sight of the khaki-clad columns flowing through their villages day after day. They appear to return the bewilderment caused by the quick turn of ovents. Only a few months ago th reserve troops marched westward through these same villages to the front, then far away. Adults stare, but covertly, at the doughboys as the latter go quietly about their business. Only the children are unablo to conceal their sentiments, which mostly are some form of curiosity They follow each column that marches by, some clinging to the hands of good naturcd doughboys, despite the admoni tions of their elders.
