North Bancroft street, was struck by

driver of the automobile, was. arrested.
Councils' Finance Committee last
night began tho tentative paring ot de
partmental appropriation bills for 1919.
and, after moro than two hours' arduous
work, which frequently was punctuated
with caustic comments by William J.
McCIoskey, of tho Sixteenth Ward, ap
proximately $19,000 was cut out pro
visionally from requested appropria
tions. These In every Instance exceeded
those for the current year by approxi
mately 20 per cent.
Tho meeting was attended by half a
dozen representatives of tho TJeal
Kstato Uonrd, to whom Senator Varo
promised a decrease In tax rate for next
year. It was this pledge by Mr. varo
that brought from tho Mayor tho long
distance telephone assertion that be,
and not Mr. Vnrc, had been first on the
Job with the promised tax reduction.
The only threatened ruullng of the
meeting, which took place In the Flnnnoe
Committee's room, City Hall, was
averted when Chairman Gaffney refused,
In the absence of Director Kruscn, of
the Department of Health and CharltleH,
to bring up a bill that Mr. Oaffney him
self Introduced, appropriating nn addi
tional C0,000 to tha Health Depart
ment. Increased cost of labor and materials
led Willie m McCoach to fall to carry
out his $41,000 plumbing contract on
buildings D, K, .J, K nnd I of tho By
berry Institution for Feeble-minded. Tho
building contractor showed how, with 65
per cent of his work completed, he could
not go further until the plumbing wns
Installed. Mr. McCoach flatly refurcd
to, finish the work. Director Krusen
learned the work would cost, urtder pres
ent conditions, about $100,000. Director
Krusen made recommendations and
Mayor Smith ordered suit against tho
surety company on McCoacii's bond.
Mr. naffney nnd Mayor Smith agree
in absolute harmony on all matters of
politico and municipal finance. Mr. Oaff
ney's refusal, therefore, to bring up his
own bill, which. If passed, would give to
the Health Department more than $90,
000 with which to proceed to the neces
sary preliminaries tn the McCoach suit,
naturally brought the question from Mr.
Trainer of the Mayor's actual sincerity
In "going after" McCoach, members ot
whose family have held lucrative public
olllce almost uninterruptedly for a quar
ter of a century.
"We won't bring the bill up until
Director Krusen Is here," was Chair
man Oaffney s ultimatum last night,
DRAFT ARMY MEN ABROAD
MA Y BE FIRST SENT HOME
Tush of Policing Countries of Europe So Far as L'nilvd Stales Is Con
cerned Likely to Devolve on Ilcgular Forces. High
Military Officials Believe
Drafted men oerses probably will
bo tho first of America's military forces
to bo returned to this country.
This is the Interpretation of the selec
tive service law made, by high military
officials and by the military committees
of both houses of Congress
Tho task of policing the upset coun
tries of Kurope. ns far as the Fnlted
States Is concerned, Is likely to devolve
upon the regiments of the regular army
and of the Federalized National Guard.
It Is generally accepted as an un
avoidable duty that a large part ot the
Amrrlcan forces must be kept in Kurope
for a long time tn come to aid In re
storing order In Germany, r.ussia, Austria-Hungary
and the Dalkans. The
force necessary for this work has not
been, estimated yet, but under the In
terpretation of tin- law In bringing Un
American soldiers homo all of the drafted-
men will hao to be brought home
before nny of the National Guard or
regular army ore. brought back
Tills provision of the sHullW- service,
act was referred to: "Whenever said
war (the present one) shall cease by
tho conclusion of peace between the
United States and its enemies In the
present wnr the President shall so de
clare a public proclamation to that ef
fect, nnd within four months after the
elate of said proclamation or ns soon
thereafter as It may be praetle'ible to
transport the forces then serving with
out the- United States to their home
station, the provisions of snld act, In so
far as they authorize compulsory serv
ice by selective, draft or otherwise, shall
cense to bo of force and effect."
This menns, It wns said. Hint the
Government will be without legal right
to bold any of the drafted men In the
army four months after peace Is pro
claimed If It Is possible to bring them
all back by that time.
DiMiiistuil fiom tin mltitaiy service
of the elrafted men will be accomplish
ed through the local boards. If plans
now umler consideration by Provost
Marshal eleneral e'roudcr and his as
sistants are put Into effe-ct. Tudor the
u-opeMcd nnangemetit each solflier will

called Into the scrvle'c. Kuch commu
nity, however, will hae the opportunity
through the arrangement of giving Un
fitting welcome to the troops as tlu
return.
The local boards will be asked lo ren
der ecry assistance to tin men in get
ting employment nnd relieve them of
the stre-ss of idleness and depleted
purses. Many of the draft hoards have
written tei General Crow'der Indicating
a desire to serve In this cip.ulty. It
Is believed that without exception the
local boards everywhere will accept the
proposal

Our "Reed" model is shown exclusively in those superlative clothes con
tained in our Custom-Made-Ready-to-Wear Department.
It is a smart model, yet sensible and practical, with no trace of foppishness
about it. .
The coat is made with a high waistline which accentuates the height of the
wearer. It conforms closely to the body from waist to shoulders, and flaring
gradually downward from the waist to the lower edge of the coat. The general
effect is that of the military character so much in vogue at present.
The rather high-notched lapel joins the cMlar at a sloping angle that is
attractive. Fronts are tailored soft and are almost straight. In every detail the
"REED" is an embodiment of graceful lines and a fine expression . of modern
designing and tailoring.
Made of Imported Tweeds, Cheviots and unfinished Worsteds in beautiful
colored stripes and iancy mixed cloths.
