Washington. - Wounded American
soldiers remaining in hospitals num-
bers approximately 100000, Col. w. H.
Smith of the surgeon generals office
told the senate committee conducting
An inquiry of hospital facilities and
construction. Many Of these wounded,
he said, will not be brought home until

&C. was disapproved by Assistant Sec.
retary of War Crowell over the recon.
mendation Of the medical authorities.
Brig. Gen John w. Heavey, acting
chief of the military bureau, recon.
mended to the house military affairs
committee that a rider be included in
hhe army appropriation bill authorizing
the secretary OF war to turn over to
abe National Guard from the surplus
supplies of the regular army, equip
ment valued at $135,000,0O0.
Gen. Heavey said the general staff
was in favor Of transferring the sup
plies, but was without authority. He
explained that If this equipment were
turned over the cost would be reduced
to sos, 100000.
Gen. Heavey urged that the National
Guard be maintained in the same form
as It was before the United States en-.
tered the war and that the increases
In its strength authorized by the act of
June 3, 1919, be carried out.
"The value to the country during the
war Of the national guardsmen cannot
be overestimated," he said. AT the
time men were needed most the Ma.
tional Guard provided a force OF 367,.
900 men and 1923 officers They have
done magnificent work., comparing
most favorably with the forces Of any
other nation. The efficiency Of the Of
ficers was proven by the fact that Of
ths entire number only 1852 were dis.
charged for inefficiency.
"The militia bureau strongly advo
cafes universal military training, but
believes it should be carried out in
connection with the National Guard"
The act OF June 3, 1916, provided for
16 divisions Of a total strength of 400,
sS4 men, Gen. Harvey said, but be-
cause of the war the terms of the act
were not carried out.

through offers of persons or firms to
purchase them at amounts less than

changed, and not to accept certificates
presented by persons or firms known
to be buying, or publicly offering to

London.--There will he no shortage
OF cargo tonnage for supplying world
needs during the first half of 1919. in
the opinion of Edward N. Hurley
chairman of the United States ship
ping board. 1t is passer ger space for
transporting troops bona that is oc'
cupying attention Of the allied ship
ping controllers. No nation can have
as much of that cargo as it wants now.
After comforting with industrial and
shipping heads In England and France
and viewing large part of the battle
areas OF France and Belgium, Hurley
stated that II would take at least six
months, possibly more, for France and
England to rehabilitate their indus
tries to the point where large amounts
of raw material would be needed.
1t is pointed out that 1t would be
useless to send industrial machinery
and raw material to France until her
destroyed factory buildings are made
ready to receive them.
