15 MILLION ADDED FOR WATERWAYS HOUSE INCREASES APPROPRIA TION FOR RIVER AND HAR BOR IMPROVEMENTS. . ADOPTED BT VOTE OF 3 TO I Discussion of Army Appropriation Bill so Protracted That Vote is Not Reached. Washington—Disregarding the rec ommendations of the budget bureau and of the appropriations committee, the house by a three to one vote ad ded $16,000.(100 to the amount carried in the army appropriation bill for river and harbor Improvements. An amendment to increase the lump sum allotment from $27,635,200 to $42,816,661 was adopted by a vote of 1 f>B to 54 after three hours of a ri minious debate during which 40 mem here aired' their views. The vote on the amendment wa* along sectional rather than party lines, republicans splitting on the proposal while most of the democrats favored it The discussion was so protracted that a final vote on the bill could not be reached. The phrase "pork barrel legisla tion" frequently was Injected Into the debate which had all the earmarks of congressional wrangles of former years over rivers and harbors appro prlatlons. The amount originally recommend ed In the bill was sligstly in excess of the sum approved by the budget bureau while the total proposed was the amount requested by the chief of urmy engineers. In charge of the im provement. Carried as a lump with the amount to be expended on, various projects not specified, the appropria tion would be aportioned by the army engineering corps to continue work during the coming fiscal year'on pro jects already-authorized Representative Mo'ndell character ized the movement to increase the appropriation as the "first assault on the budget system" and as a "raid on the treasury." Mr. Murton con tended action of the house In ap proving the increase showed the mis take of making lump sum appropria tions. Such a system, he added, caus ed members to combine In support of large sums so that projects In their district would be taken care of: Mr. Mann declared that opponents of the bill made It appear that "a band of rascals" were attempting to raid the treasury. A number of rep resentatives who approved the in crease advanced the argument that improvement of Inland waterways would allow farmers and manufac turers in the interior to move their products hy water more cheaply than they now can do so by the railroads. To Abandon Rented Warehouses Washington, Vast quantities of selced liquors .stored by the govern ment in rented warehouses through out the country are to be transferred to army buildings as an economy measure. Assistant Prohibition Commissioner Jones made this announcement on his return from an inspection of liquor conditions In Chicago, where prepa rations have nearly been completed for the transfer of millions*'** gal lons of liquor held by the govern ment In rent»d storehouses Into army buildings. Mr. Jones said this step In Chicago would mean a saving of about SII,OOO n year In rentals. In New York and other large cities, the asslst/int declared, the same procedure will be followed and a large saving to the government Is expected to result as the prohibi tion bureau will only be called upon to bear Its proportionate share of the heat, light and caretaker charges of the army buildings. The plan fof utilizing available army buildings as liquor storehouses wos worked out by the budget b\yt reau. the war department and the prohibition unit as a virt of the bud get system's economy program.

NOTES SENT TO THE ALLIE UNITED STATES CLAIMS RIGHT TO COMPENSATION FOR ARMY IN RHINELAND. Troops Were Sent Into Germany Upon Basis of Right to Be Paid the Actual Cost." Washington. The American army jof occupation was sent into Germany and was continued there upon the ba- I sis of the right of the United States ] to "be paid its actual cost upon an j equal footing with the allies," and this I government "is unable to conclude j that the justice of its claim is not ful ;ly recognized," according to identic ! communications delivered by «diplo matic representatives to the govern j ments of Belgium, Great Britain, j France and Japan. j The noteß were delivered under in structions from Secretary of State [ Hughes and were occasioned by re cent information from American ob | servers in Europe that the allied gov ernments apparently contemplated ar rangements which would ignore Amer i ican army costs, although estimates ; both for army and navy costs and re parations were being madejbn the ba sis of the entire capacity ll the Ger man government to pay. J The amount of the claims of the | United States for its army cost, the j notes declared, was understood to be free from any substantial dispute, but it was deemed to be appropriate, "in view of recent developments," to ac quaint the allied with the ! repeatedly reiterated statements that the government of the United States was expecting full payment of the : costs of its army in the Rhineland. Basis for the American claim, the notes pointed out, was found in the armistice agreement to which the j United State* was signatory and which provided for military occupa tion of (iermany by the allied and | American forces Jointly. That agree ment, the notes recited, expressly pro vided that the upkeep of the troops lof occupation in the Rhine districts : should be charged to the German gov- I eminent and it was expressed as the ! view of the American government that the armistice agreement "had the : clear import" that the powers asso ciated in the joint enterprise "should Ktand upon equal footing as to the : payment of all actual costs of their armies of occupation."

"Live-at-Home" Moveme'nt Grows. Raleigh.—Following the recent ap pointment by Governor Morrison of county campaign committees in the "Live-at-Home" movement, reports are coming into the office of the Cen tral Committee at Raleigh indicating that counties in all sections of the state have been thoroughly aroused In the matter and are planning vigor ous campaigns. In many counties ac tive campaigns are already under way. Governor Morrison and Director B. W. Kilgore of the Agricultural Exten sion Service have both been in de mand as speakers as both appeared at a rousing meeting of farmers and business men in New Bern, and the governor has also spoken at Hamlet and Charlotte. John Paul Lucas, executive secre tary of the Central Campaign Commit tee. spoke at a get-together meeting at Tarboro and has tentativa ments at Louisburg ani Gastonia in the immediate future. Every fair association in North Car olina is being called upon to co-op erate in the "Live-at-Home" move ment. Executive Secretary Luc&s Is sending to each fair secre'ary a page article for their premium list and Is also suggesting to them that a prize or prizes be offered to the family-or families which most nearly approxi mates the ideal of the "Live-at-Home" movement. He suggests tnat this prize Bhould not necessarily be given to the family which spends the least money for food or feed stuffs grown elsewhere, but that it should be award ed to the family which secures from Its premises the best rounded, best balanced and most wholesome living. Buch a move upon the part Of the fair associations. In the opinion of Mr. Lucas, will not only aid In the furtherance of the "Live-at-Home" campaign, but It will emphasize the Importance of the fair as a construc tive force In the agricultural develop ment of the state. "The Progressive" and other ag ricultural papers, more particularly "The Country Gentleman." are co-op erating effectively In the "Llve-at- Home" campaign. Both of the papers mentioned have representatives at present working among the larger schools of the state and these repre sentatives are taking occasion to do missionary work not cnly for their papers, but for the 'Ulve-at-Home'' movement Bach of thn papers them selves features gardening and the im portance of livestock upon the tun EVEN CAREFUL CALOMEL USERS ARE SALIVATED Next Dose of Treacherous Drug May Start Misery for You.
