AGAINST A BIG
STANDING ARMY
GENERAL PERsHINe SAYS 100000
SHOULD BE THE HIGHEST
FIGURE CONSIDERED.
IN FAVOR OF CITIZEN ARMY
Advocates Relaxation Of Military Die
elpIine-There Should Be Increas-
Creased Pay-Hls Plan Of
Universal Service.

Washingtcn.-Dissenting In many
important respects from the program
recommended by the war department
and the general staff, Gen Pershing
told the military committees of con-
gress that 100000 men, raised entirely
by voluntary enlistment, should be
the outside figure considered for a
standing army
He favored universal military train
ing to provide an emergency reserve,
but thought general educational work
should be combined with 1t and mill
kary discipline somewhat relaxed" so
that the system would be In complete
harmony with democratic institutions
He fixed six months as the training
period.
The department had recommended
an army Of more than 100000 with
a system Of universal training not EN-.
bracing the educational feature. It's
recommendation for training period
was three months.
departing again from the expressed
views of the department, the general
declared army purchasing should be
Teorganized in a new baTeau apart
from the quartermaster corps and
that separate department of the
government should be organized to
coordinate and supervise military,
naval and commercial aeronautics. He
considered the departments request
for 231 general staff officers excessive,
and made clear his opposition to any
effort by the staff to extend its au.
thority into the details of the depart
ment bureaus and of the line.
During his day of testimony before
the two committees, which opened a
series % special joint sessions to hear
his views on peace time reorganization
of the army, the former commander
Of the American expeditionary forces
expressed several times his unfamil-
iarity with the present makeup and
policy of the general staff and EN-.
phasized that he was speaking direct.
ly from his experience in the field.
But he did not hesitate to put into
pointed language his opinions on the
questions presented.

PRICES ON COAL ARE FIXED
Prevent Proflteerins As Re-
suit of Miners Strike.

Washington.-An executive order
fixing the maximum prices for bitumi-
nous coal was signed by President
Wilson. Prices Of anthracite are not
affected.
The maximum prices are fixed by
states and for prepared sizes range
from $500 net ton at mine mouth to
$3.50.
The maximum prices restored by the
order are approximately those prevail
ing during the summer and until re.
cent rises owing to the threatened
strike. There is no material reduction
from the present price, officials of the
geological survey said. The object of
the order was to prevent proiiteering
or increases.

Omsk. The Bolshevist thrust
against the left wing of the Siberian
armies has developed to such an ex-
tent that the Siberians have been
obliged to fall back south of the
Trans-Siberian Railway to within so
miles of Petropavlovsk, which appears
to be the Bolshevist objective in this
sector. A corresponding tactical re-
tirement of from II to rs miles has
occurred along the whole Tobol River
front.
The Red forces also have launched
an offensive on the extreme north
and have succeeded in retaking To
bolsk. the important Siberian city at
the junction of the Tobol and Irish
rivers, and pushing the Siberian troops
back some miles.
The situation is regarded as far
from critical and the population mani
tests no excitement. The reported
Bolshevist air raids against Omsk are
pure fabrications.

The statement brought out that no

that the union had knowledge Of

claim that the strike was illegal by
asserting that the fight to strike or

courts and that in leaving their jobs

prerogative.
Charges that the miners were en-
deavoring to force naturalization OF
