RESERVE ARMY DINNER
Gardner Plans TO Entertain !.
1t Is &c Strong.

Washington. Jan. "A. Seeking to
demonstrate the rspidity with which
the reserve army OF the United States
may be modified, Representative Au-
gustus r. Gardner, OF Massachusetts,
to-day decided to invite the entire re-
serve force TO dine with him in the
near future al the National Press Club,
provided the club management has no
objection 20 the invasion. The reserve
forces will be dined i'm the Flemish
Room OF the club, which is 10 by II
feet IN size.
The point about the Gardner plan is
that there are orly sixteen men on
the reserve list of the army. This was
pointed out IN the annual report Of
the Secretary Of War, who suggested
that something ought 20 De done to
encourage men 20 stay with the army
or enter the reserve after their term
Of enlistment expire. Mr.. Gardner,
who is hammcring away for bigger
army and bigger navy, does not know
the names Of those constituting the
"army" he will entertain. but on the
rolls Of the War Department they arc
carried as follows:
I, William !. Williams; ,, Hugo l..

the situation in Germany. But IL
would not be a breach of my neutrality
