WASHINGTON, April 10.—One of the most flagrant examples of the in- fluence of the war spirit, fostered in the War Department and kept ative by inability on the part of the de- partment to realize that the war is over, was the demand for $117,793,330 for fortifications, guns, equipment, ammunition and all that goes with fortification defense purposes, for the forthcoming fiscal year, ‘The Evening World called particular attention this item more than two months aso ‘The Appropriations Committee has just reported to the House a recom- mendation that the amount to be ex- pended for fortifications and all pur- hh next year poses connected therew be limited to $18,833,442. On its face this looks like a tremendous cut and an overpowering example of the de~ sire of the House to enforce the economy demanded in public expendi~ tures by the condition of the Treas ury, but this is a case in which fig ures are deceitiul. Although toned down, the ap- propriation still bears the stamp of extravacence.
