economy and a reduction Of taxes. But
the most radical cut has been made in
the appropriations OF the army and

brings a reduction in the size of the

II is going TO be very difficult to ex-

Problem OF 10000 Reserve Officers.
Similarly, an. embarrassing situation
has arisen with respect to the 10000
reserve officers who responded eagerly
months ago by the war department
asking how many officers who had en-
tered from civil life would care to stay
In the army. The war department. fully
expected that the army. would be kept
at about 100000 men and II was deemed
desirable to enroll at once as many as
possible of the officers who had actually
been under FIRE or had distinguished
themselves in service back Of the lines.
Now congress has cut down the funds
available to pay officers and Secretary
