STlMSON STANDING
BETWEEN FIRES ON
FORCE REDUCTION
Board Named to Make Changes
in Adiutant Generals Office
Opposes Taft's Commission.

The recommendations of the War De-
partment board appointed by Secretary
OF War .Stimson to put into effect the
changes Suggested by the Presidents s
Economy and Efficiency Commission
have been placed in the hands of the
secretary and, with respect to a reduc-
ton IN the force of employees in the
office of the adtutant general, are, in
eject. diametrlcally opposed to the
ideas expressed by the Presidents COM
mission.
The Economy and Efficiency COM
mission reported that 6l3 employees were
now on the list, and that of this num-
Der 2ss could be dispensed with, effect
ing saving in salaries of s27S,55O
year. 1t was recommended that this
reduction be made gradually. About 10
per cent of the employees drop out each
year, and the commission believed that
permitting the vacancies caused by
resignation to remain untitled.
Opposed By War Board.
While the exact phraseology of the
report to the Secretary of War is not
available 1t is known that the War De-
partment board took no such view of
the matter, and does not believe that
the work of the adjutant generals Of
nee can be done with Iewer employees
than II now has.
The rinal settlement of the question
of reducing the number of employees will
nominally rest in the hands of Secre-
tary Stimson. An announcement from
his office Is expected shortly, as he
wanted the report of the commission
filed with him February 1, which was
done after the commission had worked
an day and part of the nights of last
week.
Secretary StimsoB finds himself be-
tween two fires. The Presidents COM
mission has recommended one thing and
10 supposed to represent the President.
The board appointed by the Secretary
himself has recommended a different
thing. The board comprised Brig. Gen.

The method of filing correspondence

the Presidents commission and its

that the Presidents commission was

Slowly gaining momentum, social
activity has begun in Missoula this
first week after Lent. To one who
has ever visited a dairy ranch. the
homely illustration of a cream separ-
ator expresses aptly the hum and whir.
the throb n thrill, of the frequent
gathering together of many people
which is called Society Passing
through the separator, the elements of
finer quality are separated from those.
of less value. All the parts of the
original product are used, but some
for noble and some for ignoble pur-
poses. The social test in the same
way distinguishes the fine and whole
some characters from those of weak
and unworthy quality. Now that the
great social separator, has begun to
turn once more in Missoula, after 40
days of quiet rest, it is interesting and
gratifying to note how we'll the ele-
ments stand the test, how much of the
real wholesome, sweet, cream of soci-
ETY. there is in Missoula.

the ladies by Mrs. Priscilla Miles, who

the story with such cincerity and dra-

their scenes in the reading, and the
fact that she was not hampered by the
printed page made the readers inter-
probation So much the more telling.
After the program, the ladies were
