From Philadelphia Navy Yard

Marine Barracks No. 4. May 16. My Dearest Parents and All:
 received your letter sometime ago. and would have answered it sooner, but l was almost two weeks getting over the humps which is very popular here now, but 1 am feeling dandy again and ready for duty.
 We'll, how are ell of you dear folks back home? l sure would like to get back once again. Wouldn't l be some happy boy! Tho it seems l will not get back just yet. as I am on the transfer list bound for Germany. If we go over. which l am pretty sure we will do. we are Ito do aero plane and motorcycle recognais- sance for the army of occupation along tho Rhine. etc. for which we will qualify soon.
 If everything goes all right while we are over there, we will return to this country this fall and be granted four discharges upon our return here. This is a statement signed by Major Gen. sral Barnett. U. s. N. C.. and he generally sees that his state ments are carried out. so this does not sound bad. We will get to see almost all of France, part of Germany and other coun. tries. and maybe we will get . little action which every marine is just itching to have.
 If they start something again. a some military leaders think, we will show them some moro marine fighting. which caused the Germans to about face" close to Paris and go back to the
 Fetherland."
 We have just got orders since l started this letter to be ready to leave here for Quantico. va., overseas depot, tomorrow a week, and draw our overseas equip ment.
 So. my dear ones. if you will write me as soon as you get this letter l will probably receive yours before leave here. and I'll be so glad to get another sweet letter from home because l will be long way from you in a short time. but will try to write you as often as l can.
 So I'Il bid you a goodbye. good luck and God bless you all.
 With all the love in the world. l am always
 Your Leo (Bachman)

FORCE AT 225,OOO
No Provision Made for Per-
n,onent Increase.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-A temporary
naval force of 225.o00 enlisted men for
the year beginning next July was de-
cided on to-day by the House Naval
subcommittee in beginning the work of

This force is $4,000 fewer than was
recommended by Secretary Daniels.
No provision will be made in the
bill the committee decided for increas-
ing the permanent strength Of the navy,
now fixed at 1000 men. This was in
accord with Secretary Daniels's recon-
mendations that permanent increase
should await a study Of ship compile
ments that Is to be made during tho
summer by the naval officials.
The committees plan contemplatee
having the permanent force operate
strictly naval craft, the use OF 10000
men Of the temporary force for the
Army Transport Service and manning
Shipping Board vessels with the re-
mainder OF the temporary strength.
In deciding on the personnel COM
mittee members regarded a compleme Mt
| of 1000 men. exclusive of officers, as
sufficient for the dreadnoughts and ba +
tie cruisers for peace time. n reduction
from the war basis OF 1900 to 1,40O
men. They also discussed placing in
reserve a part OF the destroyers and
ITO foot submarine chasere. now in the
navy. as also some of the Eagle patrol
boats.
