WAR DEPARTMENT SAVES
OVER $40,000,000 OUT OF
ITS APPROPRIATIONS
Administrative Economies Ordered by
Secretary Weeks Show Results.
Washington, May 22: Secretary o"1
War Weeks has furnished the Senate
committee on War Department appro
priations with a resume of economic
measures whicli have been introduced
by him in the War Department.
These measures have effected a sav
ing of over $40,000,000 in the adminis
tration of the War Department.
It should be noted that this saving
is a saving in administration as dis
tinguished from a reduction of appro
priations for the War Department.
This difference may be illustrated by
comparing it to household economies.
An administrative saving in household
affairs is the amount the housewife
saves out of her allowance for house
hold expenses. So the administrative
saving of the War Department repre
sents what Secretary Weeks has saved
out of the appropriations voted his de
partment by Congress.
The largest item is $19,000,000,
which has been saved in the Quarter
master’s department. This has been
effected by a reduction of the person
nel, the elimination of various activi
ties, the curtailment of issuance of
supplies, cancellation of losses of
buildings and sites, concentration of
supplies and equipment at centVal
points owned by the governnment,
maintenance of motor transportation,
discontinuance of shipment of stuff by
rail, reduction in manufacturing estab
lishments and the installation of other
economies.
The second largest item of saving is
in the general administration of the
War Department and it amounts to
$7,000,000. This saving was effected
by discontinuance of a large number
f recruiting stations, restrictfon of
. '.o recruiting campaign, decrease in
th ■ enlisted personnel of the army and
■ msequent savings in pay, clothing,
equipment, etc.
The third item is $5,000,000 in the
general reserve. Under the system
established in the War Department an
amount is set aside at the beginning of
each year under the title of “General
Reserve,” shewing certain funds which
are absolutely under the control of the
Secretary of \Var and which are not
to be drawn upon for any purpose with
out his specific approval. At the be
ginning of the current fiscal year the
Secretary of War set aside $5,000,000
of the appropriations allowed him by
Congress for this “General Reserve”
fund. So economically has he manag
ed his department that there will be
no necessity of drawing upon any of
this fund for the current year.
The next item in order of its size
was the saving of $3,400,000 in the air
service. This was effected by intro
duction of new methods in the appor
tionment of funds and purchase of sup
plies, a reduction in work upon various
projects, reduction in aircraft, re
modeling of aeroplanes which other
wise would become obsolute, a de
crease in the personnel and concentra
tion of equipment and supplies. TIk.
next item in order was the saving of
$1,750,000 in the administration of the
Panama Canal Zone. This was effected
by a reduction in personnel from 17,
000 to 11,000 and a general reorgan
ization of the War Department in that
zone.
Other sizable items of saving were
$534,100 in the Ordinance department,
$354,000 in the Chemical Warfare
service, $110,000 in the Medical de
partment, $157,000 in the Adjutant
General’s office, $848,240 in the Inland
and Coast wise Waterways service
comprises the activities in connection
with work on rivers and harbors) $800,
000 in replacements, $500,000 in mile
age effected by discontinuance of all
travel not necessary and $380,000 in
the Militia bureau. Other bureaus
and offices contributed similar items
of saving the total to $40,023,339.
Secretary Weeks states in his com
munication to the Senate committee:
“Many economies which have been in
stituted have resulted in savings which
cannot be crystallized into actual
amounts—policies which are perma
nent in their character and the result
of which will continue to be reflected
in reducing the expenditures for the
operation of the army. Many econom
ical measures are not matters of
exact computation and cannot be in
cluded in this memorandum. *** There
has been all through the year constant
pressure upon the bureaus, territorial
departments, reaching down through
the posts and stations—a pressure
that has resulted in the savings of
many thousands of dollars that are
not a matter of record and cannot be
reported in a memorandum of this
character.”

FINANCE CORPORATION
ROASTED
(Exchange)
John M. Flannigan, secretary of the
Omaha Committee of the War Finance
Corporation, banker and general Ne
braska booster, is a jolly fellow—a
typical Irishman who like^ a joke upon
himself and always appreciates true
humor even though it be at his own
expense.
The War Finance Corporation has
put in credit extension some $12,000,
000; in fact, it has been the chief
agency in keeping cattle men and
country bankers ahead of the hounds;
but in spite of these facts there are
some kickers against its methods and
its policy.
Hero is some interesting reading,”
says Mr. Flannigan last Saturday
as he took the following letters from
his file, “they are brimful of real sar
casm and drollery and they are worth
publishing just to show that the Ne
braskan is not mentally slow when his
dander is up.”
The letters, written to Carl Well of
Lincoln, member of the War Finance
Committee, follows:
TIME TO GET BUSY.
“Why in Hell don’t you fellows do
something about my loan or answer
my letters ? I have written you four
or five times and my wife says I might
just as well mail them direct to the
Dead Letter Office for all the good they
do me. Now you fellows get busy or
you can bet your life you won’t get a
vote out of this precinct next election
and you and Flannigan will be back
working for somebody who can tell
you where to head in at instead of sit
ting around them tables playing golf
all the time while the country is going
to hell on account of just such fellows
as you.
“My neighbor, August Korcek,
wants me to write in this that you can
, change his application on account of
the four calves he has got listed you
, can make that read three steers and
, one milk cow, now; and the sorrel mare
you can cut her out as she died of old
. age; or the hoof and mouth disease
which I wish your outfit had if you
don’t do something about these loans
instead of letting the country go to
, hell all the time.
, “Another thing I will put you next
r to, even if he is my neighbor. You had
| better help August out, becaues he has
a second and third mortgage that they
, are going to shut down on the first of
j July and the Insurance Robbers that
, have the first mortgage give him to
f the first of July to settle and a near
. sighted-attorney or collector has been
f over there about a dozen times lately
f trying to collect the doctor bill for the
, time his wife got her lip cought in the
wringer and he is going to sue August
the last of July so it looks as if your
outfit don’t do something for him the
first of July will be the last of August
so far as he is concerned.
MNow you fellows get busy and an
’ swer this letter so I know whether I
am going to get this money or not. If
1 you ain’t, say so, so I will try and get
; it some place, else. I got a hen setting
in the mailbox and it looks like we
would both be grandmothers before we
' would have any mail from your cor
• poration stuck under our nose. If you
! or Flannigan ain’t got time to write,
• have one of them fifty-seven vaieties
’ cf blondes that the government is
. keeping around your office, answer
this. If Flannigan writes, tell him for
• me to put his signature on the same
• side, with the date and “Dear Sir;” on
the other he will have more room for
details.”
1 WOULDN’T HURT FEELINGS.
1 “That is a funny thing about my
' loan, which I wrote you about—as far
1 as I can see I might just as well be
trying to do business with the Aus
; trian government as with the United
; States as far as satisfaction goes, as
\ you only want to loan about enough on
' my land and stuff to get me a new set
1 of ring gears for my Overland, and I
1 guess if my daughter and her husband
' would put in what stuff they have, I
■ could get enough to put a whip socket
in it besides. I don’t want to say any
i thing to hurt your feelings or Mr.
, Flannigan’s either, but it seems to me
I like you could do more business and
■ help out the farmers considerably if
, you would have Mr. Flannigan cut
downl the size of his signature and in
• crease the size of his loans.”
