Securing Lies Joys.

The life that knows no Setbacks Is

the story ends or the curtain falls our

thing turns out happily after all. Let
US accepk what comes and be brave

joys to each one Of US. but if we do
our part to secure them We should

Pershing Makes Recommendation
at the Joint Meeting of Senate
and House Committees.
FORCE OF 500, 900 TOO Big
Favors Regular Army Large Enough
10 Repulse Sudden Attacks and
Trained Citizen Force to Deal
With Any Emergency.

Washington, Nov. IA regular
army, large enough to provide against
sudden attacks and to meet interna-
tional obligations on the American con-
tinent, and a trained citizen reserve"
to deal with any emergency was recon-
mended by General Pershing at joint
meeting Of the senate and house MILL
tary committees.
The general made plea that the ma
ton keep abreast of other countries In
development of the air service and said
1t also was essential that the transport
corps, nurse corps and tank corps be
made adequate. He thought the num-
Der of officers of high rank provided
for in pending legislation was rather
excessive"
General Pershing said he disagreed
with the war department recommends
ton for an army Of 100000 men and
said that at the outside 275,0O0 to 3OO,-
600, or possibly less, would be suffi-
cient.
The large caucus room Of the house
office building in which the money trust
and lobby Investigations were conduct
ed was set aside for the hearing-the
most important held in connection with
the military bills being considered by
the committees.
Chairmen Wadsworth and Kahn OF
the senate and house military commit
tees, respectively, have announced that
the testimony of the expeditionarJ
commander would close the hearings
which had elected the views of Secre
tary Baker, General March, chief OF
staff; divisional commanders of the
overseas army and officers Of the gen
eral staff.
The two committees will begin draft
ing permanent military legislation Ina
mediately after hearing General Perish
ing. It is not considered probable
however, that either house will be abl'
to act on the legislation before thu
convening Of the regular session in De
cember.
