ACCOUNTING Chicago, Dec. 21.—(By the A. P.)— Bureaucrats are attempting to throttle “a great reform” in the ‘submerging” of ‘the balance sheet worked out for the post office department by F. C. Furiow, of New York, president of the Otis Ele- Vvator eompany, a_year ago, in the opin- ion of General Charles G. Dawes, for- mer director of the budget. The gen- eral expressed his opinfon today of the “disgraceful and archaic system of gov- ernment accounting” in commenting on thé fact that he had heard nothing of the post office balance sheot, which he said had been approved by Will Haya former postmaster-general, since last June.

Knapp, vice president in charge of accounting, and four assist- ants,” General Dawes said, “there was prepared for the first time in the his- tory of this country, not only a bal- ance sheet of the postoffice department In terms understandable by the average m™an, but a report in the accepted bus- iness form of the current operations of the department for the first quarter of this year, “Just before I left Washington, found that, without the knowledge of the comptroller general, this whole matter had been chucked into the waste paper basket, so to speak, by a lot of subordinates who were opposed to the change and who had kept it from the attention of the comptroller generai himself. The comptroller general sald that he was in full sympathy with the work and that it would be resurrected. This is the last T heard of it. ! “Onless the fight for correct book- keeping in the post office department Is won, with it goes for an indefinite time the chance of securing the proper sys- tem in the government as a whole.” TTE MILITARY AVIATORS WERE BURNED TO DEATH 1 | MssaN I| San Francisco, Dec. 3L—The charred bodies of the missing aviators, Colonel Francis N.

A cowboy, the advices stated, came upon the bodies near what is known as ataian oasis. The bodies lay in the wreckage of the wlers’ airplane. It is not knowm whether Colonel Marshall and Lieutenant Webber were killed when they crashed to earth or burned to death af- terward. ¢ The message to the Southern Pacific said: “Some cowboy found those two aviators near Indian oasis. Both apparently were burned to death. About seventy-five miles south of Tucson, on Papago reser- vation. No railroad there. It is on a wagon track. Suppose airplane fell to ground and aviators burned {o death.” Colonel Francis C.

The inter-allied dedts, he said, would be discussed at the resumption of the | premiers conterence nere on January 2. France had found a freer field in this respect than before, as she no longer | met with a flat refusal from her allies to discuss the question. It was for this reason that she was no longer forced to await action by the United States| for a soluton.

M.

Gormany nad systematically Tulzed herself to escape the payment of repara- tions. She had failed to fulfill her en- gagements, and the schedule of pay- ments agreed upon in May, 1921, had become a dead letter.
