Congress has released the departmental ap propriation bill without the pro vision 01 sunjccuns executive yuu licitv 'operations to congressional k tiari'rr gnhtinn, which caused President S' W ilson to veto the measure, and the orgv of press agenting the adminis tration at public expense continues unabated. Newspaper bureaus are deluged daily with reams of printed and type written matter exploiting and fre quently misrepresenting depart mental activities and glorifying the alleged achievements of administra tion officials in the manner best suited to provote democratic cam paign purposes. The same matter is mailed at government expense daily to thousands of people whose names are on the departmental mailing lists, manyof whom testify to re ceiving anywhere from oruf to 10 copies of the same document, all separately addressed. While congress is considering measures for conserving print paper, of the shortage and high price of which publishers are complaining, the administration is wasting paper by the ton on propaganda period icals and mimeographed publicity, 75 per cent of which is consigned to the waste basket as soon as re-vj ceived. . Many Good Applications. -Of course it would be unfair to brand all administration publica tions as either valueless or per'' . nicious. Many of them, issued reg ularly by various bureaus under previous administrations, as well as this 'one, are informative and many of the mimeographed statements are of aid in furnishing verbatim texts of official orders and statis tical details. -The propaganda literature and press agent mimeographing have been developed , under the Wilson (Caaltaued aa Pat IaraCalaa TU.

"So much has been said in the United States of the 1 cheapness of ewrything in Germany," said one of4 the visitors from fans, mat some thing should be said how conditions have changed. In the first place, an American is charged twice or three times the amount shown on the hotel bill in most cities of Germany, and even the restaurants in some smaller towns add 200 per cent to the amount of the check. The stores iu Berlin and other cities JoKjnonths have been similarly raising prices tf foreigners without much protest, be cause of the rates of exchange. "But that was when one could buy 100 marks for a dollar, and he is now lucky if he can get 40. The result is that extremely few things aj-e cheap in Germany for an Ameri can. . - "And if, in spite of these condi tions, a man does, buy a few souve nirs and tries to take them out of the country, they are taken from him at he frontier, .unless he can N specify each article and include .it i.i lon'g lists covering nearly every thing. In other words, the average American is mad all . the time he is in Germany." Steamer and railroad fares, which were doubled last winter,-again will b doubled in October.
