(C) Underwood & Underwood. is compiled as of August 5 and in- cludes expenditures since July 1, 1918. It reveals that the president allot- ted $8,393,245 to state department, which includes he direct expenses of the peace mission and other work in- directly in connection with the peace conference. The president refused to divulge the nature of two allotments of his fund, designating them only as “confiden- tial.” These were $60,000 for the state department and $10,000 for the labor department. Russia came in the president’s ac- counts in several ways. He gave $5,- 000,000 to relieve the condition of the Russian civilians in the Archangel district, $5,000,000 to improce eco- nomic conditions in Russia, $4,000,000 for the Trans-Siberian and Eastern Chinese railways, $117,000 for the American railways mission in Russia, besides paying the expenses of several other missions to Russia to study con- ditions. Domestic appropiiations went to a variety of subjects, but prineipally to enable the war risk insurance buread to meet its allotment payments to soldiers’ dependents, with the national war labor and policies boards, relief to drought stricken districts and aid to fight forest fires calling for other millions. The repatriation of Gen. Haller's Polish troops necessitated an expendi- ture of $50,000; entertainment of Sir Eric Geddes by the navy department and Prince Axel of Denmark by the state department cost the president $13,000 and $10,000 respectively. About $10,000,000 of the president's allotments were reimbursed to him by later appropriations. The allot- ments as given above, however, are net. Chairman Good in the House late this afternoon said several unsuccessful attempts had been made by him to obtain the infor- mation on the grounds that congress should have the value of it in framing appropriations measures. The presi- dent, he said, bad submitted an in- complete report on both expenditures, and unless complete information was submitted shortly the resolution ask- ing for the information would be pressed. The president’s report on this $100,000,000 fund showed an ex- penditure of $78,000,000, Mr. Good said, but it is urderstood that the en- tire amount has been allotted. The president’s report, submitted yesterday, shows large expenditures for the peace mission, and Mr. Good said he believed the committee should have this information before granting the presidents’ request for $825,000 additional to complete the peace con- ferenco work. Plans of the commit- tee now are to ask the White House to send a representative before it Thurs- day to explain the need of this re- quest. At the same time the past expenditures will be carefully scan- ned. ASSAILS NORTHCLIFFE Sir Edward Carson Makes Rabid At- a statement to tack On English Publsher in New Anti-Home Rule Drive. Belfast, Sept. 2.—Sir Edward Car- son, in opening a new anti-home rule campaign here tonight made a fierce attack upon Viscount Northcliffe, the newspaper proprietor whom he styled as “the greatest absentee Irish capi- talist and the greatest example of an Irishman who under the union made untold wealth in England.” “He dearly loves man hunting,” said 8ir Edward. “He hunted Barl Kitch- ener, Field Marshal Viscount French, Viscount Jellicoe, Viscount Milner and J. Austen Chamberlain and more recently Premier Lloyd George. I have thought this over and believe I have found a solution to the ques- tion. It is to make Viscount North- cliffe prime minister. The only disad- vantage would be that, as prime min- ister, he would have to meet in parlia- ment face to face those hé assails and could not attack them from the editorial armchair. What is a states- man? It is a man who, when it pleases Viscount Northcliffe, betrays every interest entrusted to him." has ADVANCE SHOWING OF THE NEW MODELS IN 1919-1920 FURS A Showing So Full Of Most Agree- able Surprises That They Must Be Seen To Be Admired COATS, COATEES, CAPES, SETS, SCARFS, MUFFS, STOLES LUXURIOUS SELECTED PELTS Present Indications Point to Scarcity. of Furs, But to Stimulate Early Buy- ing I Am Making Unusual Reductions to Anticipate the Coming Advance.
