tested his grief over the departure of a
big brother by loud sobbing. The lad
was a spectator while the troops were
forming in line and marching downstreet
from the barracks and stood it manfully
until the boys began TO climb aboard the
train. Then his grief became uncontrol-
liable and older persons who tried TO
persuade him to leave the end of the
car where his brother had joined his
comrades found a youngster who could
mix fight with sorrow. The small lad
stood sturdily to his vigil and could not
be budged away from the train until the
conductors warning, "Al aboard"
seemed to convince him that to stay
longer was useless

PACIF lists WILL
FIGHT NEW BILL
Will Carry Opposition to Pre-
paredneSS Provisions to
House Caucus Tonight.
InternatlonaI News Service /:


WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Demo-
cratic pacihsts today went on the
war path to knock the preparedness
provisions out of the new revenue
bill This measure will be laid be-
fore a caucus Of house democrats
tonight. Up TO today il was taken
for granted that the bill which has
been formulated by Chairman Kitch-
in and his democratic colleagues Of
the house ways and means commit
tee. would receive the unanimous
sanction of the majority party. OPP
position was looked for only from
republicans on the floor Of the
house
But a powerful group of southern
democrats who are little navy men
has been at work. with the result
that q strong opposition 10 the
revenue Dill is being mustered on
the majority side. These statesmen
point out that two-thirds of the
100000 deficit which the coun-
try will face at the end of the cur
rent fiscal year will be due 10 the
00.0OO.0O0 increase over last years
appropriations To be voted in the
three preparedness bills-the army.
navy and fortifcations bills. The
original plan was to have high
water mark i'm the three-year naval
building program in the second or
current year The new Notifications
bin, carrying upwards Of 100000
GOO is the largest ever reported.
There is very much less increase
I'm the army appropriations.
Now the democrats-that is the
anti-preparedneSs ones-are plan
ming 20 go into the caucus tonight
and fight 10 have the three pre-
garedness committees revise their
appropriations so as TO meet the
revenues being raised by the present
tax schedules. The success of their
plans would mean the collapse Of
the navy's building program. and
the halting OF all preparedness Iegis-
lation.
