Washington, d. q December q, -
For the first time IN many years con-
gress has adjourned for the holiday
recess without having received the

time to complete his report.
A popular magazine has undertaken
to test by straw vote the attitude
III its readers toward the Taft ad-
ministration. The results Of this
straw vote are interesting, despite
the fact that they may be subjected
to the most radical alteration In the
course of the next few months. Out
Of total Of l3. l02 persons who re-
piled to the questions asked, 5.27S
Republicans said they believed they
had cast their vote wisely last No
vember as against $40 who repented
their choice, while 1923 Democrats
are satisfied that they voted wisely
against 206 VINO believe that they
erred.
Regular army officers have so far
forgotten any prejudice that was
once entertained 10 regular army
circles against the National Guard
that they would like to see the Guard
double its present size Assistant
Secretary of War Oliver told the
military affairs committee that he
hopes to see 100000 men in the
Guard before the expiration OF year
He asked that $l,35O,OOO be appro
priated for maneuvers for thi.
organization so that the men NIGH
be well trained and prove efficient Il
time of war. He recommended tha
this Appropriation be made annua!l.
and the committee has decided to asl
Congress to accede to his request
The exact size OF the National Guart
at present is ll9, 900 men.
