ON ARMY OF 100000
Secretary of War Asks Senate
Military Committee to Reject
House Reduction
FAVORS EDUCATION FUND

Washington. June 16.---Sccretary
Baker, appearing today before the Senate
military committee, advised that Con-
gress make an appropriation for an
army of 500 900 men until permanent
military policy can be adopted. He de-
clared the force of 100000 proposed
in the annual army appropriation bill
as passed by the House was 'inade-
quate.
The secretary told the committee that.
in addition to the army of occupation
in Germany. a sufficient force must be
maintained for Mexican border duty and
to take care of vast stores of govern
ment supplies both in France and in
made. he said. to dispose of all supplies
and other holdings in France, so as to
relieve about 100000 men from duty.
At present the government has ST..
900. 900, 900 invested in supplies over
seas. but at the request of the French
Government these will not be dumped on
the market.
Secretary Baker asked the committee
to dissent from the House rider pro-
hibiting the department from buying real
estate. He said the amendment would
'embarraSs the department and cause
loss to the government which would
be simply prodigious."
Elimination by the House of funds for
educational and recreational facilities in
the army also was opposed by Mr..
Baker.
THE only way we will be able to have
regular army said the secretary
Twill be by making the army an educa
tional opportunity. If we have learned
one great lesson from the war it is that
the young man in the army is anxious
for education
What are the prospects of recruit
ing an army of 100000 men," asked
Senator Chamberlain.
II think it will be just as easy re-
cruiting 100,000 men if Congress pro-
vides for the educational policy" re-
piled the secretary.
Il don't agree with you. but you may
be right. Senator Chamberlain said.
The secretary said the educational
opportunities afforded by the army
were providing an inducement to men
to enlist and pointed out that the army
was surrounded by opportunities for
men to meet nice girls
Army control of all social activities in
the various camps was advocated by
Secretary Baker. who said this would

RAMSEY UNHORSED
BECAUSE OF DEAL
Vote on Daix-Brady Ripper Bills
Uncovers DoubIe-Crossing
Agreement by Wares
SPROUL WON'T SEE LEADER
BU a Std6 Correspondent


Harrisburg, June 16.-Interest has
been aroused around the Capitol over
the 'unhorsing' OF Representative
William T. Ramsey, Of Chester, as ad-
floor leader in the House.
Mr.. Ramsey lost his job as floor leader
through the alleged deal between the
Wares and John J. Mcclure, of Chester,
on the Daix Brady registration ripper
last Tuesday.
As result of Mr.. Ramsey's at
tempt to introduce the Ware amend
ments into the ripper. Representative
Hugh \. Dawson, of Scranton, chair
man of the ways and means commit
tee, will act as administration spokes
man for the remainder of the session.
The amendments presented by the
Ware faction would have eliminated the
ripper feature from the Daix Brady
bill. which specifies that the terms Of
the four registration commissioners OF
Philadelphia are to expire within ten
days Of the passage of the act.
When Mr.. Ramsey presented the
amendments, members of the House
thought they were sponsored by the
administration and would have defeated
the ripper bill had not some Penrose
leaders gotten in touch with the Gov
ernor. He promptly sent back word dis
claiming responsibility for the amend :
ments.
In return for Mr. Ramsey's work on
behalf of the amendments the Ware
forces were counted on to throw some
votes to the Ramsey bill to permit the
sale of beverages containing not more
than pa per cent alcohol.
The agreement ''fivvered" when Mr..

ginning to the close OF the war in every

were being secured. "Who can say"
he asked; show great a contribution
in the production Of the magnificent
morale of the allied troops was the
knowledge which these men had of the
care which they would receive should

SEPARATE TREATY HlNTED
Paris Newspaper Sees Possible Out

Paris, June 18.-tBy A. P.)-Thc
journal Des Debates, commenting on
the resolution of Senator Knox in the
United States Senate, demanding sep
aration of the covenant of the league
of nations from the peace treaty,
pointed out yesterday that its adoption
would involve a separate treaty of peace
between the United States and Ger
many.
The newspaper says it refuses to be-
lieve, in spite of the Republican record
of systematic opposition to President
Wilson and the league of nations, that
that party will sacrifice the interests
of the Allies and of the world to its
own.

Ramsey's trick was discovered. Ware
gained three votes from the Mcclure
forces for the Daix- Brady bill and in
return gave the Mcclure people four
votes on the Ramsey bill.
Neither the Governor nor Senator Pen
rose will see Mr.. Ramsey, it is reported,
since the incident on the Daix- Brady
ripper. Philadelphia independents who
have urged the passage of the ripper
are particularly incensed against Mr..
Ramsey for the part he played.

be no step backward. The magnificent

''The most important effect of the
war was upon surgeons rather than
surgery. The transformation in the
