‘THE EVENING WORLD, WEDNESDAY, MAROH 10, 1 ] Bring Federal Spending Back to Peace Figures. . United States Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen of New Jersey. Says: “We have become a spendthrift Nation and now we are up against the stiffest sort of a proposition if we are going to ‘come back’.” me “Congress and the executive branch of the Government have a duty to face and perform. We must cut expenditures to the actual necessities. iations for experimental purposes.” “To all men with fads, whether in or out of Congress and the departments, we must turn deaf cars.” What are New Y ork’s 43 elected representatives in the United States Senate and House doing to a look with longing at the Interborough property. In 1916, when the 1, R. T. paid 20 per cent., the Long Island earned 2.01 per cent. We must abandon all help lighten the load for New York taxpayers? Noa sya gal who signs himself Billy J.

France and England were at death grips for the possession of Canada. On the fate of Quebec hung the fate of the war. The French held that strong fortress city, and the British were besieging it. Robert Moray, a young British cap- tain, was held as hostage in Quebec. There he fell in love with beautiful Alixe Duvarney, and was able to win her heart.

Doitaire was as conscienceless as he was brilliant. One of his reasons for staying on in Canada was to get hold of some papers which Mme, de Pompadour needed and which Dol- taire had reason to think were in Moray’s possession. Thus, watching Moray closely, he learned of the love affair between the young Captain and Alixe Duvarney. As a result, Moray found himi confronted by a false charge of spy ing, which deprived him of his free dom to roam the city at will, and he was thrown into prison. Instead of checking the romance between himself and Alixe Duvarney, this stroke of misfortune only served to draw the lovers more closely to- gether.
