Less beer and whisky was consumed

intoxicants is shown in the preliminary

It is not as great as the falling off In

ington that the army is far from be-
ing what it should be. It was only
couple Of weeks ago that prominent
military officers announced that one OF
the army's dire needs was an increase
in its cavalry and artillery forces.
And the Democrats n the face of
these things go blithely o. their way
suggesting that the standing army be
decreased by the elimination of five full
regiments of cavalry. They point with
pride to the fact that such an act would
save the people something over $4,000
900 n year. Perhaps they merely made
this suggestion for political purposes,
feeling pretty secure in the belief that
the senate would kill the proposition
Certainly there could be no other ex-
cuse for it.
The United States army is now a
minimum force in proportion to the pop
ulation of the country, and does not
compare in this respect with the armies
Of other first class powers. Regardless
Of its smallness, though, it is proper
tionately more expensive to maintain
than are the other armies OF the world
This wo aid seem to indicate that there
is plenty room for economies in its con-
duct without the necessity of going so
far as to reduce the army's strength.
In fact Secretary of War Stimson has
pointed out that a material saving can
be made by the elimination of many OF
the army posts which are tucked away
in obscure corners of the land. He
points oat that a concentration of the
army at a few large posts would not
only save a large sum of money. 1t
would also have d tendency to make
the army more mobile and thereby
more efficient In all probability there
are a variety of other ways in which
money may be saved each
year in the maintenance of the army.
Why don't the Democratic leaders ia
the house investigate these possible
ties, instead of proposing to make a
saving of 100000 annually in way
that can only result in making the
army lop-siGed and decidedly less val
liable?
