Timely Suggestions

Resolution Seeking to Take Control
of Committees Out of Hands of a
Few Old Members May Bring Rev
olution In Senate. '
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
Washington. The contest is nlrendj
on between those who will bo classed
us militarists on one band and pacifists
on tin other. Now that the war ip
ended it is quite likely that a great
ninny people who were for pence, but
supported the war because the country
engaged in it, will array themselves in
favor of disarmament and for reducing
military expenditures to the limit. Nc
doubt they will be called "pacifists,"
but that epithet will not carry with It
the stigmu that was attached while
the country was at war. If every man
who wants to reduce the size of the
army and cut (limit military expendi
tures is called a pacifist, they will have
i pretty good-sized party by that name
in a few months.
The militarists will point out how
much quicker and easier it would have
been to win the war if the United
States had been fully prepared and
equipped in the beginning. No doubt
a great deal will be said about laei:
of ordnance, munitions, arms ond oth
er war materials generally, ns well a
the lack of trained men, and tkese will
be laidIown as arguments for a larg
er military establishment in the future.
The other side, however, will insist
that the United States went in an!
won the war In IS months and that
it was with comparatively lUtle difli
culty that an army was raised,
equipped,- -trained, and put into the
field. .And so the light will be con
ducted, but the prospects are that
congress will not fflvor a very largf
military establishment.
. People outside of Washington do not
care very much what happens in regard
to the organization of committees in
congress, and so to them the Norri.
resolution Is not Important. This res
olution is Intended to defeat the pow
er which now exists in a coterie of old
senators becuu.se they are at the top
of ami control most of the important
committees of the senate. It is rathei
surprising that new senators, and
those who have long served on' com
mittees of little or no importance, have
allowed the good places-to be monopo
lized by the older senators, but that is
one of the traditions of the senate.
The Norris resolution, in proposing to
distribute these good committee plaee?
in a more equitable manner, may be
the germ of a revolution. However, it
does not make very much difference
about committee assignments, for a
man who can handle himself well in
debate can take care of all the legis
lation he wants on the floor of the sen
ate and is beholden to no committee
assignment for his position In thai
body.

Dear Mother:
I thought I would write you a
letter, telling you where I am and
what I am doing. I want you to
know I am in the Good Old U. S. A.,
the best place em Earth. I am in
the base hospital, and expect to
leave for home soon. I do not know
whether I will get home for Christ
mas or not. I am in the hospital
at Camp Mills, ward 46, New York.
We may leave for home any time. I
cm getting well, and hope this may
find you the same. Where is O9

for some time, is he in France. Do
you live in the same place that you
lived when I came away. We are

One awful legacy which the Germans
have left to the Belgians, one thing
which the Belgians have in greater
quantity than they had before the Hun
overran their country, is tuberculosis.
The Bed Cross is beginning" n campaign
to stamp out the white plague, which
has increased largely in those portions
of Belgium that were occupied by the
Germans untii recently. It is said that
the disease has gained victims especial
ly among young women who were
obliged to work in munition and in
dustrial plants. Truly German kultur
is a wonderful thing.

, Cholly Klnmsy Really, Miss Kaw
stlck. I couldn't resist the temptation
to dawnce with you, doncha know, al
though the doctor said that I absolute
ly must keep off my feet for a while.'
Miss Kawstiek I congratulate you,
Cholly. on your success in carrying out
the doctor's order.
for there is no place like home. I
wrote you a letter before I- left
France, did j'ou receive it. I was
wounded on the last drive we made.
A machine gun bullet went through
my leg, but it is all healed up and
I am o. k. now I sure would like to
be at hoem now.
' We received a big cheer when we
landed at New York, on our return,
and we had some time coming from
France.
Our boat was small and we were
crowded, and when In a storm, she
sprang a leak, which gave some of
the boys a little fright, we were
lucky to get through with it.
Did you hear about Hugh Kearn
es, he was killed Some hard luck,
the battle in which it occurred
happened Just before the war was
over. The other boys from Platts
mouth are all right, as far as I
know. Do not be surprised if you
see me walk in on you, for I may
come at any time. ' I will have to
close for this time, hoping to see
you soon. Good-bye,
