Washington. Jan s.-Upon the recon
vention Of congress next Monday, Sena-
tor Harris proposes to offer two amend
nents 10 the army appropriation bill
One Of these amendments provides that
hereafter in computing the length Of
service for retirement. credit shall be
given soldiers for double the time Of
their actual service in China. Senator
Harris urges this amendment in view OF
the fact that the service in China was
exceptionally severe. and thinks it il
only justice to soldiers who belonged to
the expeaiuonary force that the service
thus rendered be counted in the same
manner as if they had remained in the
Philippines. Senator Harris secured the
adoption Of a similar amendment in
connection with soldiers who served and
are serving in the Philippines.
The other amendment upon which
Senator Harris hopes to secure favor
able action. provides that hereafter in
computing the length Of service for re-
tirement, credit shall be given the sol
der for service in the United states
navy
Under the act approved February Il,
1885, An act to authorize q retired list

hcers Of the United States army who
have served for period of thirty years
OF upwards It Is provided that service
either in the army or marine corps
shall be counted in computing the time
for retirement There is no authority
under existing Law permitting enlisted
men to take credit for service they may
have rendered as enlisted men in the
navy. There are now number of men
in the army who have rendered service
IN the navy, and unless they can be
given credit for such service as if ren-
dered in the army. they would be com
PEELED to serve thirty-five years. The
amendment is believed TO be reason

CHARLEY HITE
 AWARDED PRIZE.

Charley IIite was last week awarded the first prize in the Browning King contest for the best hand-painted picture by a child under 12 years of age. The prize was a beautiful sterling sil- yer pocket knife of Wostenholm make, and to win in such a con- test is indeed an honor of which Charley has a right to be proud.
 The picture winning the deci- sion was in water colors, a scene in which boys were skating, and the subject may have had some thing to do with Charley throwing his whole soul into the work.
