ENGLISH PUBLIC
WANT REASON
r WASTE FUNDS
LONDON, Sept. 27 (by Associated
Press).—British papers are printing
almost daily examples of what they
term a waste of public funds. A report
just issued by the committee of pub
lic accounts sheds fresh light on the
goverment’s plan to finance the Rus
sian General Alexieff just before the
bolsheviki revolution brought about
his collapse. Part of the plan was to
set up a Cossack state bank in Si
beria. and for that purpose $2,500,000
loaned to the Russian financier.!
But the bank was never set up and
the committee wants to know what
tecame of the money.
^■he ministry of munitions paid out
$1^250,000 for a plant begun in 1017
and which, when the war was ended,
was only half finished. For this de
lay, the committee points out, the
country received no benefit whatever
except through the “stimulus to the
steel trade.”
Waste of nearly $500,000 is charged
by the committee to the Admiralty on
a scheme for establishing schools to
train boys in pneumatic riveting.
Cases are referred to by the com
mittee where government officers
holding responsible positions allotted
contracts either to themselves or to
firms in which they were interested.
Such cases the committee assert, “are
especially liable to become an occasion
for scandals.”

Chinese Tendencies Pi-dvalT,
Chinese tendencies are everywhere
noticeable in the vivid greens, blues,
yellowish-red and burnt orange fa
vored for the coming season. The hip
length mandarin cloak—or shall we
call it a blouse, since it oftenest an
swers this purpose?—is being worn
at the southern resorts, and will be
in the North. Of black or green or
burnt orange satin, plain or covered
at intervals with an allover embroid
ered design, and, with bordering
bands of contrasting satin about the
open throat and loose sleeves, it is ad
mirably effective and is oftenest worn
over a short, straight, knife-plaited
skirt of oyster-white tussore. The
couturier usually bears in mind the
fact that the true Chinese cloak
fastens on the right side.
