During His Service.
Spteinl Dtipatch to Ta 8ci.
Washington, Sept 20. Col, Arthur
Wood", rormerly Tollca Commissioner
tt New Tork. ceased to-day to be apo
dal assistant to the Secretary of War In
diarse of employment of demobilized
soldiers. ,
Col Woods submitted his resignation
September 6. Secretary Baker mado pub
He to-4ay the letter In which Col. Woods
will he believed his work to be fln
liheil. A letter of acceptance from Mr.
Baksr was published colncldcntly.
It was stated at Col. Woods's offices
that he had gone to New Tork. The
nly word of his plans for tho future
vii that ho Intended to take a rest.
Since the establishment of his of
fice here last March CoL Woods has
obtained employment for 10,000 officers
snd men of the army. More than 15,000
were In communication with him. Cot.
Woods was In charge particularly of
readjusting trained men to civil life.
The letters of CoL Woods and Secre
tary Baker follow:
"Hou. Nbwton D. Bxksr.
"Dsah Mr. SBCiueTAitT : The emergency
character of the work which last March
you called on me to undertake having
disappeared I feel that I ought hot to
continue In the department any longer;
I should like, therefore, to hand In my
resignation as assistant to the Secretary
Of War to take effect September 20. In
enveloping this work and trying to roach
out In every direction which would lead
to anything that might promoto the wel
fare o tha discharged' soldier or sailor
In civil life we have taken up v.ral
forms of activity which, as I reported to
you the other day, I feci are inost,,lm
portant to continue indefinitely.
"I am very glad, therefore, that ar
rangements have been completed by
your direction to continue the work
along these lines so long as there may be
need for It. I am euro that real service
to men who have been In the army can
be tendered by some one In the depart
ment who will take an Interest In them
and their troubles and will do what he
'can to smooth out difficulties and open
up promising opportunities.
"In leaving the department I want
to express to you my great appreciation
ot your offering me this position In
mnlch I have had such extraordinary
opportunities to be of service to the
men who fought for us. 1 want to
thank you further for tho free hand you
have given mo In the work and for the
unfailing Interest you have shown. I
have had no doubt about your genuine
irrpathy with the discharged man and
jour wish to havo us promote his wel
fare as much as possible. '
"With best regard, I am, sincerely
jours, "Arthoi Woods."
"Mr Dear Col. AVoods! I havo Just
received your letter of the 6th telling
that you think your work sufficiently-
computed to permit your retirement on
EtptemDtr 20.'- ,1 -acceptyour judgment
.about that because I know you would
cot leave, the work as long as It had a
command to your sense of duty.
"I am deeply grateful to you for what
jou have done. The demobilized soldier
soon disappears and Is lost to any inter
ill unless ono keeps him constantly In
Bind and follows him and his troubles.
I have had a comfortable sense that this
sreat country of ours was trying to do
Its duty by these men, while you were In
charge of tho work. That great good
las been done I have not the least doubt.
"Meantime the general Industrial con
dition of tho country, I learn from the
Secretary of Labor, has so far improved
that the soldiers remaining to be de
mobilized will not have to face so se
rious a condition as those who were di
charged In the early months after the
armistice, and I feel sure with you that
the continuation planned under Gen.
Haan's direction will be able to take
care of what remains to be done. Mean
time the work you started has a residue
hlch fits In admirably with the plans
for the new army, and I havo satisfac
tion, which I am sure you share. In feel
ing that between us we are able to make
a contribution of permanent value as
well as service of temporary and emer
gency character to our returned soldiers.
Cordially yours, Newton D. Baku."

Punch Into His Drivo on
High living Costs.
SptcM Detpatch. to Tas 3d. I
Washington, Sept ' 20. Expressing.
Congressional approval of the strictest
economy In Governmental expenditures
the House r to-day unanimously passed
the first deficiency appropriation bill of
tho present fiscal year, which breaks all
records In recent years for reducing tho
amounts asked by Government depart
ments. The bill carried a total of SU,1S7.000,
or less than one-third of the. $47,000,000
asked by tha Administration, and It
went through the House without nn
amendment that materially changed tho
totals. The "real punch" for tho Gov
ernment drive against high prices Is
carried In the bill, as It allows about
11,400,000 for tho Department of Justice.
most of which Attorney-General Palmer
has stated will be used to check profit
eer! nff. The Federal Trade Commission
Is allowed $150,000 for the Investigation
of baslo commodities.
Republicans who nro advocating the
cutting of all department estimates to
the lowest possible minimum were sur
prised at tho practically negligible op
position to the low amounts carried In
the appropriation measure. Representa
tive Good (la.), coalrman of the Ap
propriations Committee, expected strong
efforts on the part of sonio Democrats
to Increase the amounts but these failed
to materialize. Mc. i3ood stated to-day
that the same policy would be pursued
in other appropriation measures be
cause of tho large deficit In the Treasury
at the end of the present' fiscal year,
which ha predicts will be more than
13,600,000,000.
No efforts were made by Democrats
to Include In the bill the estimates sub
mitted by several departments for the
inauguration of extensive publicity
schemes ahd systems ot reports ostensi
bly for the purpose of bringing down
the cost of living which were submitted
with the approval of the President Nor
did any one take up tho President's
cause and demand that an appropriation
of $826,000, which he asked to pay up
the bills ot the American peace mis
sion in Paris, be included In tho de
ficiency measure.
Tha House debated for two hours a
proposal to eliminate an appropriation
of $263,000 for the Bureau of Immigra
tion which was necessary because a de
partment clerk made an error of this
amount In previous appropriations. Be
cause of this salaries of employees of
the bureau at Kills Island and other
stations have been held up since Junej
Mr. Good stated. '
Amendments to the food control act
which Attorney-General Palmer asked to
atop profiteering were again delayed In
the House to-day because of objections
to the rider attached by the Senate
establishing a rent commission In the
District of Columbia. Both Houses have
passed the amendments, but House mem
bers havo been objecting to sending the
bill to conference unless the House con
ferees are instructed to eliminate' the
rent clause. Republican Leader Mondell
stated to-day that a special rule would
be presented Monday In order to delay
tho amendments further. Assistant Attorney-General
Ames wrote to Represen
tative Haugen (la.), chairman of the
House Agricultural Committee, urging
speedy-action. ,
