 These men. through the press and through periodical publications and per sonnl influence have been quietly an.' pcrsistantly bringing to the atten- tien of congressman and others the vital ucc,l for more liberal policy in regard to the army. and their argu- mcnts have been so full of logic and SO quietly effective that results have q. last begun to appear

This tas been recognized by all men at all familiar with military subjects and is new recognized in part by the mem lcrs of the senate who today increased the house appropriation for the pur- pose of building Notifications by six and one half millions of dollars.
