A Big Mistake Corrected

A few days ago Mr.. and Mrs. h.
A. Miller received notice on regu-
lar department form to the effect that
their son, George Miller, was de-
serter from the U. S. Navy station at
Hampton Roads, Va. Naturally Mr..
and Mrs. Miller felt a deep regret
over such action on the part of their
son, and as they knew nothing of the
boys whereabouts they could take no
action in the matter. A few days
later it developed that George had
been to the target range for rifle
practice and by some clerical error
at the station had been lost track of.
The matter has since been straight
ened out and Mr.. Miller received the
following letter Saturday from the
commanding officers of the station:
"U. S. Naval Training Station,
Hampton Road, Va, October 81,
1919.-Mr. H. A. Miller, Kingstree,
S. C. In reply to your letter of the
29th inst. you are hereby informed
that the notice of desertion sent you
was sent through error. 1t is very
much regretted that the error was
made. Respectfully, w. E. Ross, for
w. M. Corse, Captain U. S. Navy,
Commanding"
About the same time the above
was received Mr.. Miller also received
a letter from his son stating that he
was on the target range where ne
had made proficiency in marksman-
ship, sharpshooting and passed as ex-
pert rifieman.

PERSHING WANTS
SMALLER ARMY.
THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND
SUGGESTED AS MAXIMUM
OF ENLISTMENT

Dissenting in many important re-
spects from the program recommend
ed by the war department and the
general staff, General Pershing told
the military committee of congress
Friday that 100000 men raised en-
tirely by voluntary enlistment should
be the outside figure considered for a
standing army. He favored universal
military training to provide an emer-
gency reserve, but thought general
educational work should be combined
with it and military discipline "some-
what 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
system of universal training not en-
bracing the educational feature. Its
recommendation for a training period
was three months.
Departing again from the expressed
views of the department the general
declared army purchasing should be
reorganized in a new bureau apart
from the quartermaster corps, and a
separate department of the govern
ment should be organized to coordi-
nate and supervise military, naval
and commercial aeronautics. He con-
sidered 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 bureau and of the line.
During his day of testimony before
the two committees which opened a
series of special joint sessions to hear
his views on peace time reorganiza-
ton of the army the former COM
mander of the American expedition
ary forces expressed several times
his unfamiliarity with the. present
make up and policy of the general
staff and emphasized that he was
speaking directly from his experience
in the field. But he did not hesitate to
put into pointed language his opin-

Weaver-Stubbs

Miss Emma Weaver, the well known
and beloved trained nurse who has
spent a number of years in Kings
tree and community, in the pursuit of
her profession, was quietly married
at the home of DR.. and Mrs. E. I.
Kelley at $50 o'clock Wednesday
morning to Mr.. F. NJ. Stubs, of Ben
nettsville.
Immediately after the ceremony
which was performed by the Rev
Mr.. Fowler, the bride and groom left
for the south to spend their honey
moon.
The bride, is most loveable lady
and her friends are numbered by the
score. She is a granddaughter of the
late Rev. Mr.. Weaver of this county
and has been head nurse at the Kel'
lev Sanitorium here since its opening
Mr.. Stubbs is a prosperous business
man of Bennettsville, and his mar
riage to Miss Weaver is the culmlna'
ton of long courtship.

ions on the abstract questions pre-
sented by committee members.
When one representative asked
whether he approved an apparent
tendency of the staff to project its
control into details of the line, ne
brought his fist down upon the table
and snapped:
81 certainly do not"
He was equally emphatic when a
senator asked whether the staff ought
not to take the military committees
into it's confidence about the general
situation in the army.
81 am quite sure of it," he quickly
replied.
The general said no American
combat planes at all had been re-
ceived up to the beginning OF this
year, though on January a total OF
1,443 American machines Of the OBJ
servation type were on hand, together
with 5,181 of various types made in
Europe. The only American guns
which got in action, he said, were
some eight inch pieces. About ITO
American made rs m. m. guns reach
ed France, but they never were used.
He did not have the exact figures on
guns and planes at the time of the
armistice.
