PUBLIC MONEY
THROWN AWAY
Senate Committee Makes Re
port of Investigation
Washington, Dee. 18>-Inefficiency,
carelessness and a disregard of the j
provisions of the act under which it;
operated were charged against the]
United .States Housing corporation by
the senate public buildings and
grounds investigating subcommittee j
today m a- report recommending- that j
steps be taken to reeover many; thou- I
sands of dollars alleged by " the sub-j
committee to have been expended im-:
properly by the. corporation.
Mismanagement by the corporation,
the report as submitted to the senate J
charged, resulted in its: failure to have j
ready foroccupancy a single build
ing until almost two months after the
armistice was signed, or oight months
after, the passage of the appropriation
Although citing specific expendi
tures sufficiently grave, to warrant the
government in entering civil suits for
restitution, the report expresses thej
opinion that in most of these cases> j
the persons who profited win restore
voluntarily the alleged unearned mon
ey^ ?. ?- _ - ' \. '.. ?
Other recommendations made by
the subcommittee, provide that ar
chitects whor it is charged, were paid
excessively, for "overhead expanses,
be caned.-upim-to give.the committee;
an. exact statement of amount of their i
overhead expenditures." These em- j
p!oyee4 of the corporation, the com-i
mittee believes, were not parties to:
intentional violation of the law and |
"if. they are actuated by the patriotic:
principles attributed to them they;
will refund the sums paid them in ex- i
cesef of the exact cost of the over-!
head." The amount the committee
considers recoverable from this source j
is placed at $50,000. .
Civil suit to recover $20,000 spent
for "extras" and 515,000 charged to
subletting of labor by a contracting
firm , also was recommended by the
committee in the event of a failure to
return the money, voluntarily.. The
"extras!' were charged as incident to
the construction of the dormitories in
Washington for women war workers,
in connecton with, which.... it was al
leged original estimates were radical
ly..altered indicating a- willingness to
'substitute the contractor's demands
for. the estimating- division's: judg
ment/'
Regularity of a loan for $560,0.00
made to the Springfield Consolidated
Water company of Philadelphia also
was questioned in the committee's re
port together, with ; other loans io
railroads; street railway^, and utility
companies/'
The latter concerns were not iden
tified. Scrutinization of. the loans by
the treasury depaxtment was, recom
mended with demand -for additional
security, where inadequate collateral
had been provided.
Charges of inefficiency and bad
management were more prominent in
its report than references to over- j
payment, while attention is called to
the denials of the officials of the cor
poration that they intended to let con
tracts for more than the appropria
tion act provided, the report declares,
the officials had planned, according to
the records secured by tro commit-j
tee. the expenditure of $145,175,50+, I
although the amount of the appro
priation was $100,000,000.
Practically all buildings erected b>
the corporation were of a permanent
character, the committee reported,
notwithstanding the provision that
they be of a. temporary character.
The failure of the corporation to pro
duce a completed house until the first
of the present year- was pointed to
by the committee as indicative of
the nature of the organization. ,

AMERICA TO?SLOW
England and France Wilt Pro
ceed to Make Peace
With Turkey
London, Dec. IS.?Without any dis
respect and without wishing to deprive
America of the honor of sharing in
the guardianship- of Christian com
munities, the allies have decided to
make peace with Turkey at the earl
iest possible moment, Premier . Lloyd
George declared in the house of com
mons today.
Mr. Lloyd George said there was
complete agreement among the allied
on the question of non-intervention in
Russia, but-that.discussions wece pro
ceeding between the United Stated j
and Japan concerning future action '
should the Bolsheviki advance reach
to any considerable degree east
ward.
Premier Lloyd George said it was|
impossible to make peace with Russia |
because of the civil war existing;
there. If the Bolsheviki wanted to
speak for Russia, he added, they'
must summon a national assembly;
based on a broad . franchise that;
would represent something with I
Which the allies could make peace.
Mr. Lloyd George said the agree- j
ment to guarntee France against |
wanton aggression was subject to rat- j
ification by the United Sttaes of that!
particular, point. If-the United States j
should not ratify the guarante to!
France, he stated, Great Britain would j
be free to reconsider her position.
The. premier began by defending a \
certain reticence in-negotiation, in-'
staacirig the danger of: dropping a
word- calculated to kindle inftamma- J
tory opinion in Italy regarding Fiume,J
but contended that this was not secret
diplomacy and pointed out that the j
publicity given. to all decisions of the ;
Paris conference was unprecedented. 1
With reference to the Anglo-Ameri-:
can-French convention he said thatj
the British government had given no,
undertaking on the subject for the
simple reason that it could not im
agine that the United States would
dishonor the signature of its great
representative. H? admitted that for!
Great Britain to undertake the charge!
alone would; be a serious obligation,!
whicn he . would not-enter upon with- j
out the consent of parliament. j
. Adding to his Rus^n .s^tement he !
said it was a dismal. prospect but all j
that could be done was to deep vigi-j
lant watch until Russia issued from
its present darkness with a stable gov- j
ernment to carry on negotiations.;
The premier, referred to... the assist- j
anee the allies were rendering Aus-1
tria,in food, .coal and other-supplies!
which he described as a mere s^ttpj
kitchen policy to mitigate a situation j
requiring large methods. j
"Put."- the Premier continued, j
??England alone already is severely j
burdened and can not undertake the i
task of restoring the shattered world)
and I fail to see what can be done un
less America comes frankly to take!
her fair share." !
Mr. Lloyd George defended the de
lay in making peace with\ Turkey on j
the ground of the necessity .to know j
what the United States intended to do.
France and Great Britain he declar-1
ed already had heavy burdens while j
the United States was under no great;
extraneous burdens and had her gi
gantic resources. /. y \
It would have been precipitate and (
lead to misunderstandings'and suspiq-i
ions, Mr Lloyd George sadL^Vhad-}k?s^
not awaited Americans decision.. We |
are no.w entitled .to. say that .we have
waited -up to the very minute weprqm
ised America and there is no prospect
of America coming in." .
It was here that Mr. Lloyd. George
declared that without nay. disrespect
and without wishing to. deprive the}
United.States of the, honor of sharing]
*? the guardianship of Christian com-;
m unities, the allies , had decided-to j
make peace with Turkey at the earl
iest possible moment.
STILLS CAPTURED!
Rural Policemen Waging War;
on Moonshiners
Rural Policemen Boykin, Newman
and Norris are very successful in
their attempt to decrease the number
of stills in Sumter county. Yester
day they made a raid on a house near
Gaillards Cross Roads, about three
miles-from DalEell. In this raid they
secured two barrels of mash and a
complete still. At the time of the raid
the still was not in operation. A ne
gro named Edward Carter was arrest
ed and placed in jail here, but was
later released on bond.
The second raid on the day's pro
gram was directed against the home j
of another negro named Ashley Har-1
vin. near, the gas plant. This raid,
which was also conducted by the ru
ral . policemen,. was even more suc
cessful than the . first. Harvin was
caught in the act of running the
still. The mash was being made into
whiskey. He was. arrested and is
now in jail.
The rural police are on the job and!
more captures may be expected in the I
future.

REPUBLICANS
PROMISE ECONOMY
Chairman of Appropriation
Committee Says Expendi
tures Wifl Be Re
duced
Washington, Dec. 18.?All general
appropriations for 1921 will he pared
down "in accordanec with strictest'
economy" except the postoffice depart
ment and pension estimates which are
less than for the present year, Ma
jority Leader Mondell, Wyoming, told
the house today when the first urgent
deficiency bill of this session was
brought up. Greatest reductions;
would be made in the army and for- j
tifications estimates, he said, the
former request totaling $982,800,020,
and1 the latter $117,793,330, an in
crease of more than $106,000,000
over the present appropriations.
The. balance of estimated libalities
over receipts, Mr. Mondell said, is $3,- j
050,508,574. Estimates of expendi-1
tures, he said, would suggest exces-'
siveness. This, he explained, was:
true, adding "at least we must make]
it true by reductions of hundreds of
millions of dollars."
Total estimated receipts for thej
year, he said, are $6,038,850,000.
"These official estimates of the re
ceipts,'' he added,, "are notable that
they carry no estimate of receipts on
acount of interest on our loans of,
nearly $10,000,000,000 to foreign gov- j
ernmenp3. This interest, if paid, j
would increase our receipts and light- j
en our burdens for the year by nearly i
$500,000,000."
Funding of interest on foreign ob
ligations for two or three years;
would increase foreign loans at least
$2,000,000,000 abcve the present fig-!
ure, Mr. Mondell said.
"The fact that such action has
been taken by the secretary of the
treasury," he,explained, "reduces our
inocmes or increases our outlays, half
a billion dollars annually."
"Congress should cut the estimates!
at least $100,0*00.0(10 and refuse every I
request which is not imperative," he!
added, i
No provisions fo * increased pay for
officers of the army and navy and for
the nurses corps and ^estimates for
loans, bonuses or development pro
jects benefiting e::-service men are
made in any of the appropriations.
/'Proposals of appropriation "in be
half of men recently composing our
great armies run all the. way from a
plan which would involve the expendi- j
lure of perhaps $100,000,000 an-!
nually for some ye&rs.'to plans which
would involve expenditure, of several
billions, and. one plan at least which,
would involve obligations of tens of I
billions of dolars," he said.
"It is for congress to determine," j
he continued, "whs.t is to be done in ;
all these matters, but in arriving at;
that determination let us remember
that we have passed the period when,
under the stimulan: of war enthus
iasm, the instinct of self preservation
and the determination to finish a great
job gloriously, we could spend bil
lions without a thought as to where
the money was to come from, who was
to pay it, or when i: was to be paid.
"The coming fiscal year will wit
ness the culmination of the growing
burdens of the wars aftermath.. It
presents financial problems as serious
in their way as any we met during the
period of the war., We can not in
crease taxes.; We should . not "issue
bonds. We. have no alternative but.: to
economise to the limit."
CUBAN SUGAR
AT CHARLESTON
Tine Hundred The usand Pounds
Arrives From Island
?Charleston, Dec. 19.?Direct from
Cuba "by .rail" 900,100 pounds ofi
granulated sugar, to be distributed to j
wholesalers in North and South Caro- j
lina, has arrived and duty on this 12 j
ear consignment has been paid at thej
Charleston customs house, $10,000 be
ing the import tax. Tiis city will re-!
ceive only about 5 per cent, or 45,000
pounds of the sugar, which is to re- ;
tail for 16 cents a po'ind, and which
will be available to the consumer On
Tuesday, retailers getting their al
lotment from the wholesalers Mon
day. The local sugar equalization
board is handling the distribution of
this very welcome shipment, and will
apportion it out equably among
wholesalers of the two States. The
cars in which this sweet freight ar
rived were loaded in.Cuba and trans
ported to Key West on lighters, tak- j
ing the rails there, anc coming direct
to Charleston, where they officially
"landed." Other shipments of Cuban;
sugar are expected later, which will
serve to relieve a general shortage of
the popular granulated. The sugar is j
in 300 pound sacks.

- Destructive Birds Investigated.
Now that the beneficial species of
birds are fortified by ample protective
legislation, the importance becomes
apparent of perfecting methods for
protecting crops against damage by
birds, says the Chief of the Bureau
of Biological Survey, United States
Department of Agriculture. A policy j
of bird conservation that will best j
serve the interests of the farmer, he \
says, involves not only a thorough ap- j
preciation of the value of beneficial
species-but adequate attention to the '
control of troublesome ones. Follow
ing out that line of endeavor, inves
tigations have been made of a nurn- |
ber of species complained of as trou- j
blesome, and in some cases special I
rulings have been made under the mi- j
gratory bird treaty act to permit con- j
trol measures. I
It has been determined that bobo-1
links, protected under the migratory
bird treaty act, are as destructive as
ever to rice when opportunity offers,
and in order to control them an open
season has been declared on bobo
links in Pennsylvaia and the Atlantic
Coast States from New Jersey south
ward to and including Florida. Cer
tain species of wild duck, also pro
tected under the act, were found , to
be destructive in the rice fields of Cal
ifornia, and a special order was issued
permitting rice growers to kill them
out of season. In the Arkansas rice
fields a special order had to be is
sued permitting the shooting of;
ducks at night. Meadowlarks in
South Carolina were found to be in
flicting severe damge to sprouting
corn and oats. In order to afford
proper relief, says the chief of the
survey, permission has been given
farmers to drive the birds from the
fields with shotguns, if necessary.
Complaints were received from Lou
isiana that night herons were a men
! ace to the frogging industry, and it
was suggested to the bureau that per
mission be granted to shoot them. In
j vestigation, however, showed that
j about 96 per cent of the food of night
I herons is crawfish; not a single frog
' was found in any of the stomachs ex
amined.
Other birds, not protected under
^the migratory bird treaty act, were
I also reported to be inflicting servere
j damage in some instances. Red
winged blackbirds in Ohio were found
to be very destructive of sweet corn
and even of field corn. Poisoning
methods, effective for small fields,
! were devised, but it is necessary to
j discover more economical measures
i for large fields. Complaints of depre
1 dations by eagles were investigated.*
i "It is evident," says the report of the
j chief, "that these powerful birds are
j seriously destructive at times and
[ their unlimited protection is probably
'not warranted." This applies to both
the golden and the bald eagle. Charges
came from the South Atlantic coast
that the brown 'pelican was respon
sible for reduction in the number of
mullet and other food fishes. Exami
nation of a quantity of regurgitated
material showed that of 814 fish eat
en only 9 were of species valuable ?s
human food.

-K- ? 1 *;
-iveclif 'Wav K?sic'Insurance.
It is regrettable that so ..many
former service men are not keeping"
up their government life insurance in
Washington. The fact seems to be
due largely to widespread confusion
and lack of information as to the
right ol" former service men to per
manent government life insurance,
and the process by which this insur
ance may be retained.
The demobilization of our armed
forces was so rapid and was attend
ed by such uncertainty on the part of
service men as to future civil occupa
tions and permanent places of abode
j that it was not surprising that many
I of the men gave little thought to the
I matter of insurance. Others doubtless
thought the original term insurance
(War Time Insurance) ceased when
they were demobilized and did noL
know it might be converted into any
one of the several forms of perma
nent government life insurance (con
verted insurance). Still others, im
mediately upon their return to civil
life, felt financially unable to con
tinue the insurance. They should
now take advantage of the liberal
provisions for reinstatement.
The government is determined that
no former sendee man shall lose his
right to government insurance through
lack of knowledge of conditions. To
this end, the press, the pulpit* bank
ers, physicians and other professional
men, and the great volunteer agencies
of social welfare like the Red. Cross,
the Y. M. C. A., the Knights of Co
lumbus, the Y. M; H. A., the Salva
tion Army, the War Camp Commun
ity Service, the Boy Scouts, and many
others are now cooperating with the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance in an
educational campaign designed to
reach the former service men, wher
ever located, and tell them the gov
ernment is now committed to the pol
icy of permanent life insurance for
its soldiers, sailors and marines. \
Term Insurance (War Time Insur
ance), if it has lapsed, may be easily
reinstated within eighteen months
from the date of discharge, by stat
ing in the application that the ap
plicant is in as good health as at. date
of discharge, and by the payment of
only two months' premiums on the
amount of insurance to be reinstated.
And this term insurance (War Time'
Insurance) may be converted, into one*
of several forms of government poli
cies.
The Red Cross Home Service, 602
City National Bank Building, will give
any other information desired in con
nection with government insurance
and will also render assistance in con
verting insurance.
