Creates Committee to Watch Ex
penditures and Report Where
Money Goes—Hardwick Votes
With Anti-Administrationists.
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, July 21,~The Ben
ate today authorized a “joint eommit.
tee of expenditures in the conduct of
the war” with power to investigate
and control all expenditures. The vote
was 53 to 31, Pifteen Demoerats voted
aye. All the opponents were Dem
ocrats,
Some time ago Senator Weeks of
Massachusetts and Congressman
Masden of lllinols, introduced in both
houses resolutions providing for leg
jslative committees to conduct the
war; in other words, to advise with
the Administration powers When
ever the subject was brought up the
Administration members of the Sen
ate and House put themselves against
the scheme
But the man introducing the resolu
tion today was himself a Democrat
Owen, of Oklahoma. Senator Weeks
arose and offered his resolution as an
amendment to the food control bill
However, when Owen offered his own
resolution as a substitute Weeks
quickly accepted it §
The new scheme which 1s now “sec
tion 43" of the food control bill, reads
“A joint committee of the Benate
and House of Representatives shall
be appointed, composed of five mem
bers of the Benate, including three
Pemocrats and two Republicans, and
filve members of the House of Repre
sentatives, to be known as ““The Joint
Committee of Expenditures in the
Conduct of the War"”
To Watech the Treasury.
“It shall be the duty of the com
mittee to keep itself advised with re
gard to the expenditure of all ap
propriations bearing on the conduet
of the war made by Congress and the
contracts relating thereto, and of
ficers of the executive departments,
on requests, shall keep said commit
tee fully advised as to such expendi
tures and contracts.
“Such committee shall confer and
advise with the President and the
heads of the various executive depart
ments, commissions, voluntary boards
or other organizations connected with
the conduct of the war with a view to
safeguarding expenditures, and shall
report to Congress from time to time
in its own discretion or when re
quested to do so by either branch of
Congress.
“The membership of such commit
tee ghall be designated by the respec
tive committees of the Senate and
House which selects the members of
the regular standing committee
“Such committee shall have power

French Officer Pays
Tribute to America
By DANIEL DILLON,
Staff Correspondent of International
News Service.
AT THE PERMANENT AMERI-
C"AN BABE IN FRANCE, July 21.—
Here I 8 the most eloquent tribute 1
have yet heard for America and its
army. It comes from a high French
officer:
“The democracy of the American
army s kindred to ours. Your men
and our men follow, are not driven
into battle. Your officers and our
officers direct their soldiers; they do
not bully them. The mutual man to
man understanding in the service
sweeps away rank. In the French
army there are ex-Ministers of ‘State,
renowned sclentists, artists and cap
taing of industry. In the American
expeditionary forces there are ex-
Ambassadors, millionaires, two sons
of an ex-President and the sons of a
general
“Your leading business men are all
gladly fighting for America. Your
army ideals are similar to ours. We
respect und admire the English, Ital
fans and Russians as hrothers in
arms, but the Americans in addition
we love as brothers at heart, The
world's two greatest republics, as
sisted by their allies, will insure the
triumph of demoecraecy over autoc
racy.”

Dr. Floyd Mcßae Points Out Men
ace of Sending Medical Stu
dents Into Service.
dhe belief that medical students
#houid be exempted from the draft in
order to guard against a secarcity of
medical experts for civil snd military
lite is voiced by Dr. Floyd W. Mcßae
It & letter to The Eunday American
Dr, Mcßae believes the United States
should guard against a repetition of
the blunder made by England, which
found itself greatly in need of physi
clans. His letter follows:
Pditor The American:
I feel a very great interest in
the medical department of the
army, espefially the proper med
leal officering of the new volun
teer and draft armies. | think
that the matter of draft.in its re
lation to mediecal students 1s one
that vitally effects the nation, and
that T am justified in requesting
your aid and advice in the mat
ter.
In my judgment at least 90 per
cent. of the medical students can
be drafted. These men have al
ready finished their high school
course and all have had at least
one year of college or university
work. These are the minimum
preliminary requirements for en
trance to C'lass A medical schools
On account of the high standard
of educational requirements the
number of medical students in
this country has materially di
minished in the past five years
It seems to me that Congress
| should pass some special legisla
~ tion to provide exemption, or fur
lough, or detail to students to
continue their medical studies.
~ The students want to avoid the
~ appearance in their home comi
~ munities of being “slackers,” or
. from feeling that by eontinuing
their medical studies th.( are do
~ Ing less than they should be for
their country, or because, 71 "=
uncertainty of whethér they can
~ complete their medical education,
they are unwilling or unable to
assume the heavy financial bur
' den of a medical education,
I am not acting with the selfish
purpose of relieving individuals
from the draft or of preventing
the loss to medical schools from
a diminution of student envoll
ment, but solely with the purpose
of maintaining the annual supply
of trained physicians for military
and civil needs In time of war.
We want to prevent this country
from repealung England’s blunder.

How to Overcome
Foot Troubles
U'nlesg a person has actually suffered
with tired, aching, burning feet or
painful corns or calluses, they ean not
appreciate the misery that such afflic
tions bring.
Reports now show that over Wror
cent of the American people suffer
from some form of foot troubles and
modern footwear is sald to be causing
an alarming increase in this percent
age. Therefore, the following should
prove of special interest to readers.
Recently in the treatment of these
foot troubles by patients using Ice-
Mint, these distinctive features were
noticeable, Tired, achinfi. burning!
and swollen feet invariably become
cool, easy and comfortable after the
first application, while in the treatment
of corns and calluses, it was noticed
that after a few nights' nppllcntlon.i
the corn or callus had a tendency to
loosen, and In a short time could eas
fly be lifted out with the fingers—root
and all —~luvlnf the surrounding skin
in normal, healthy condition.
Ihis, together with the fact that
Ice-Mint costs little and is so ean{ and
pleasant to apply—and is absolutely!
harmless—is no doubt responsible for
the high indorsement given it bdy spe
cialists as the surest, safest and most
efficacious treatment for distressing
foot troubles.
When you stop to consider that the
simple, pleasant process of rubbing a
little lce-Mint on the foot at night
will shortly rid one of every {:nlnful'
corn or callus, and will ko:s the feet
cool, comfortable suf' rested even on
the hottest days, it easy to under
stand its great popularity and wh‘y it
{s now used in nelrl{ every American
home., Any one suffering from foot
troubles ig advised to give Ice-Mint a
trial, There is nothing better.——Advt.
