June 4..Despite the reserve- tion on Silesia and the Rhine customs in Chancellor Wlrth's speech In the reichstag, which somewhat weakened it's tone, it is more and more clear that France' is momentarily inclined; to give Germany the benefit of the doubt and accept provisionally the program the new chancellor offers at it's face value and hope for the bestMinister of War Barthou announced today, on his return from a visit to the Rhine land, that the class of 1919, which was suddenly called up by Brland, is now preparing to demobil- l*e- , "If Germany continues to give tangible proof of her good will," Bar- thou said, " the entire class will re-1 turn home at the end of the month."

Dr. Wirth's promises change the situation and make the 1919 class a superfluous force on the Rhine. The regular units of Degoutte's army continue on the Rhine.

Always with this background France is safe in accepting the reichstag utterances.'* * The press, likewise, accepts the I sincerity of Dr. Barthou's declarations. !

The President sej^out on his Journey In true holiday style, even bringing his lunch and eatinr it like any other motor tourist along the wayside; but the responsibilities of his position were not long In overtaking him. Refore he had been a half hour at his destination he had shaken hands with several hundred school children, who same to serenade him, and had promised to make a publio address tomorrow at the Washington Memorial Chapel at the historic Valley Froge camping grounds. . I Accompanied by. Mrs. Harding. Senator Knox. Secretary Christian and Brip. Gen. Sawyer, his physician, the ' President left Washington at 8:30 this ' morning and arrived at the Knox 1 home at 3:15 p.m. after an uneventful ' l<0-mlle run over the Uaryland and Pennsylvania pikes.

Along most of the way here from the capital, the big limousine bearing the presidential coat of arms passed \ unnoticed in the stream of varied J traffic. It threaded a path throuffh the downtown section of Baltimore without receiving a single sign of recognition from street crowds, Knd went through many smaller villages which appeared similarly unaware of their distinguished visitor. During the. latter part of the journey. however, an increasing number of people were waiting at the towns along the way to cheer the President, and in several places school children lined the streets and pelted the presidential party wjth flowers as it passed. ( Autos Parked Alssg RoadA half dozen of the Pennsylvania ' towns dn the route were decked in flags, and at the end of the trip 1 here the President's car ran between I lcng lines of parked automobiles wnicn screecnea a welcome as ne came along. The atop for lunch was made at 11:30, where the roadway swings close to the Susquehanna river near Conowlngo, Md. The veranda of a little tea house overlooking the Susquehanna rapids was chosen for the plOnic grounds and the president and the-members of his party sat for an hour about a table there munching on the' sandwiches and other feicnle dishes brought from the White House kitchen In a big- hamper slung behind a 'secret service car. Only a few peopie knew of the presence of the chief executive and the meal was finished without interruption.

As week after week of the present Congress has rolled by the appropriations have rolled up in staggering figires and promise to continue to do so mless a determined halt is called. Some of the republican members 'rankly are admitting that even a beginning in a curtailment of expenditures has yet to be made, and some >f them are wondering what is gong to happen to them in the elections lext year, if steps are not taken to :ut down these expenditures. i Huge Appropriation Increases. The naval appropriation bill, as .it passed the Senate, is approximately (100.000,000 larger than it was when t passed the House, nearly half a billion dollars all told. It is about 1(0,000,000 greater than was the naval appropriation act for the fiscal year tow ending. The Army appropriation bill, which s to come before the Senate this week, carries in the neighborhood of 1335,000,000. T$e secona aenciency om wmca uan lust passed the Senate, carries about 1150,000,000, including millions of.dollars for the Shipping Board, which s was the subject of severe attack by Senator Kenyon of Iowa and others, who declared that the Shipping Board 1 is wasting millions of dollars each 1 month. Banking on Budget Bill. I Just where the promised cut in expenditures is to come has not yet been made clear, it is said. The republicans, however, are banking upon the 1 newly enacted national .budget bill and J.he coming reorganisation of the executive departments to work for economy o< expenditure..-f At .the same time that],these large appropriations are being made, thel( veterans of, the world war are preas. r ins for bonus legislation. The Colore* Wan treaty has been ratified by the Senate, agjeeing to pay to Colombia 125,000,000 whioh must come out of the revenues of this country.

A joint resolution "concurring: the declared purpose of the Presiden: of the United States to c&l^ an internatio conference to limit armaments," was agreed upon yesterday by republican members of the Hou for*ip-n -j #To -»- .'* o.. x»ano v.uiuiiimee, as a suuetl lute for the Borah disarmament amendment to the naval appropriation bill. The text was drafted by Hlairma"Port after a conference with Pres ident Harding at the White House Friday night and is believed to have met with his approval. It will be introd tomorrow, and while ita passage may be somewhat delayed,, it is intended to convey to House conferees on the naval bill the attitude of the House on the whole question of disarmament. Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt, who discussed the proposal with Chairman Porter Friday, met with republican committeemen and talked over the mode of procedure. President WssU Be t ender. In the dozen or more disarmament resolutions introduced heretofore in kite- iiduk, me pnraseoioey was quite different from that finally agreed upon by the foreign affairs committee. Some of them "directed." "'re quested" or "urged" the President to call a conferenoe of the nations, others "expressing the hope" that he would do so. In the final form, however, the would' actually bo placed at the head of the movement, with Congress expressing "its full concurrence" in his declaration, an set forth in an address to Congress "that we are ready to co-operate with other nations to approximate die armament, but merest prudence fo.bids that we disarm alone." Text of Resolntloa. The resolution follows: "Resolved by the Senate and Housof Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembl that the Congress hereby expresses its full concurrence in the declaration of the President in his address to Congress on April 12. 1921 that 'we are ready to co-operate with other nations to approximate disarm ament, but merest prudence forbids that we disarm alone,' and further fully concurs in his declared purpose and intention to call an international conference to consider the limitation of armaments with a view to lessen materially the burden of expenditures and the menace of war. and that for the expenses preliminary to and in connection with the holding of such conference, the sum of $100,000 to be expended under the direction of the President, is hereby approp Will Hasten Action. Representative Mondell of Wyoming, the republican leader, said that with Jhe various views on the subject It had been thought beat to have the foreign affaire committee, in touch with the situation abroad and with the administration, oatlin what it construed to be the wisset polio* at tho moment. While the resoluti itself will not be binding on the conferees, Mr. Mondell said, it woaM serve to "give them judicial notice" as to the feeling and attitude of the House. .The naval bill, as returned from the Senate, will be called up tomorrow uirQi a rule which will give it privileged stetjM and immediate consideration. Mr. Mondell said the conferees to be named by Speaker Gillett would not be instructed on the Borah amendment, but that.tfie resolution, while still leaving them free to act as they saw fit, could hardly be ignored, considering the agencies concern in its preparation. Although the resolution made no refenc to land or sea armaments, Mr. Porter said both were included under the broad and general term. LANE MEMORIAL SERVICE. Bat.

iX-n

Republican senators and representaivesare becoming more and mora ax- ,ircised because of the apparent tin- '

iveness of the "economy" in govern-'nent expenditures, which was prodpSed the people by the republican partyluring the national campaign last Sumnerand fall.As week after week of the present

Congress has rolled by the appropriationshave rolled up in staggering figiresand promise to continue to do somless a determined halt is called.Some of the republican members'rankly are admitting that even a beginningin a curtailment of expenditureshas yet to be made, and some>f them are wondering what is gongto happen to them in the electionslext year, if steps are not taken to

:ut down these expenditures.i

Huge Appropriation Increases.

The naval appropriation bill, as .itpassed the Senate, is approximately(100.000,000 larger than it was whent passed the House, nearly half a

billion dollars all told. It is about1(0,000,000 greater than was the navalappropriation act for the fiscal yeartow ending.The Army appropriation bill, which

s to come before the Senate this week,carries in the neighborhood of1335,000,000.T$e secona aenciency om wmca uan

lust passed the Senate, carries about1150,000,000, including millions of.dollarsfor the Shipping Board, which s

was the subject of severe attack bySenator Kenyon of Iowa and others,who declared that the Shipping Board 1

is wasting millions of dollars each 1

month.

Banking on Budget Bill. IJust where the promised cut in expendituresis to come has not yet been

made clear, it is said. The republicans,however, are banking upon the 1newly enacted national .budget billand J.he coming reorganisation of theexecutive departments to work foreconomy o< expenditure..-fAt .the same time that],these large

appropriations are being made, thel(veterans of, the world war are preas. r

ins for bonus legislation. The Colore*Wan treaty has been ratified by theSenate, agjeeing to pay to Colombia125,000,000 whioh must come out ofthe revenues of this country.The democrats In the Senate and

A joint resolution "concurring:the declared purpose of the Presiden:of the United States to c&l^ an internationalconference to limit armaments,"was agreed upon yesterdayby republican members of the Houfor*ip-n -j #To -»- .'*

o.. x»ano v.uiuiiimee, as a suuetllute for the Borah disarmament amendmentto the naval appropriation bill.The text was drafted by Hlairma"Porterafter a conference with Pres

ident Harding at the White HouseFriday night and is believed to havemet with his approval. It will be introducedtomorrow, and while itapassage may be somewhat delayed,, itis intended to convey to House confereeson the naval bill the attitudeof the House on the whole question ofdisarmament.Assistant Secretary of the Navy

Roosevelt, who discussed the proposalwith Chairman Porter Friday, metwith republican committeemen andtalked over the mode of procedure.

President WssU Be t ender.In the dozen or more disarmament

resolutions introduced heretofore inkite- iiduk, me pnraseoioey was quitedifferent from that finally agreedupon by the foreign affairs committee.Some of them "directed." "'requested" or "urged" the President tocall a conferenoe of the nations, others"expressing the hope" that he woulddo so. In the final form, however,

the would' actually boplaced at the head of the movement,with Congress expressing "its fullconcurrence" in his declaration, anset forth in an address to Congress"that we are ready to co-operate withother nations to approximate diearmament, but merest prudence fo.bidsthat we disarm alone."

Text of Resolntloa.The resolution follows:"Resolved by the Senate and HousofRepresentatives of the United

States of America in Congress assembled,that the Congress herebyexpresses its full concurrence in thedeclaration of the President in hisaddress to Congress on April 12. 1921that 'we are ready to co-operate withother nations to approximate disarmament, but merest prudence forbidsthat we disarm alone,' and furtherfully concurs in his declared purposeand intention to call an internationalconference to consider the limitationof armaments with a view to lessenmaterially the burden of expendituresand the menace of war. andthat for the expenses preliminary toand in connection with the holdingof such conference, the sum of $100,000,to be expended under the directionof the President, is hereby appropriated."

Will Hasten Action.

Representative Mondell of Wyoming,the republican leader, said that with Jhevarious views on the subject It had beenthought beat to have the foreign affairecommittee, in touch with the situationabroad and with the administration, oatlinewhat it construed to be the wissetpolio* at tho moment. While the resolutionitself will not be binding on theconferees, Mr. Mondell said, it woaMserve to "give them judicial notice" asto the feeling and attitude of the House..The naval bill, as returned from the

Senate, will be called up tomorrow uirQia rule which will give it privileged stetjMand immediate consideration. Mr. Mondellsaid the conferees to be named bySpeaker Gillett would not be instructedon the Borah amendment, but that.tfieresolution, while still leaving them freeto act as they saw fit, could hardly beignored, considering the agencies concernedin its preparation.Although the resolution made no refenceto land or sea armaments, Mr.

Porter said both were included under thebroad and general term.
