EXPERTS FEARING DEMORAL|zAT|ON
 OF THE MILITARY
Declare Only Speedy Pas sage of Army Reorganiza- tion Bill Will Prevent
 Catastrophe
av A..oc,at.d Pres.

Washington, July 5.-The question of a permanent military policy proh- ably will he forced before the present Bakers order reducing the army to 2S3 900 officers and men by September 3O. Military experts here believe only speedy passage of the army reorEan- ixation bill will prevent demoraliza- tion of the military establishment.
 The recent army bill makes manda- tory the continuance of the four new staff corps, chemical warfare, motor transport, tank and air service, none of which was provided for in the ra- tiona, defense act. Officers and men must be drawn from the line and frcm the regular staff personnel to provide the necessary overhead for these branches.
 "A return of the status of 19oS' was the prediction of one officer concern ing the effects. In that year coni- panies could muster only 36 men and regiments were frequently under the charge of one major and one captain.
 The general staff is already at work on some DFORTdnI1c WniIH Wiii COih1 within authorized expenditures and yet permit the retention of skeleton cs- tablishment which may be expanded for war.
 Plans for the organization of the air service and tank corps looking to further progress will have to go by Nhe board, it was conceded. Services will be kept active through headquarters organization with repair men and guards at the various depots.
 Primary troop requirements which must be met include
 Garrisons for the Philippines, Ha- waii and the Panama Canal. conserva- tively figured at 5o,0o0 men; a guard for the southern border. now main tained at 30,000 force of 5000 on the Rhine and for the time being at least, 5000 men for Siberia.
 These total 96.000 officers and nj en and do not take into consideration thc hundreds of small garrisons needed at home army posts. which is estimated at 20, GOO, with a further addition for the coast Gefenses. War Departme nt plans approved as late as March pro- vided 5s.O00 officers and men for the coast defenses.
 The 23,000 temporary officers who have applied for permanent commits s,ons in the regular army must be dis c larged forthwith because of the lack e money.

26O0 CLEVELAND CARMEN PLANNED ID STRIKE TODAY With Demand for Wage In- crease Denied, Men De
 eide to Walk Out
 at 4 A. M.

Cleveland, O., July 5.-Unless some thing unforeseen develops before o'clock tomorrow morning, 2G0O union mOtOrmen and conductors of the Cleveland Railway company will go on strike at that hour because of the deadlock between the employees, the company and city officials over the mems demand for an increase in wagsI of 12 cents an hour.
 Members of the city council, sitting as a committee of the whole, made a final effort this afternoon to avert a strike by granting the railway com- pany a sufficient extra allowance, un- der the Taylor plan, whereby the city controls the car lines. to pay the men the increased wage they demand. but it was rejected by President John J. Stanley of the street car company.
 MT. Stanley informed the council he would not use the extra allowances, although it was sufficient to pay tie higher wages requested. because the council had not responded favorably 10 the company's demand for an in- crease of the stockholders dividends from guaranteed per cent per aI.- mum to per cent and had not given the company cents mile increase in maintenance, as was requested, to make up a deficit
 Mayor Davis and the city council oppose the additional 1 per cent div. idend to the stockholders
 Followlng this meeting, representa- tives of the union met Mr Stanley Tn final attempt to reach an agreement. but late today announced they had been unable to effect settlement and the union executive committee ordered the men to carry out their strike at o'clock as overwhelmingly carried in a strike vote taken Thursday
 MT. Stanley has issued instruction, to operate all cars possible tomorrow
 "If necessary we will import men to give the public street railway ser. vice." he said.
 MT. Stanley asked Superintendent ,f Police Smith for police protection to- morrow in operating the cars.

 Washington, July 5.-Con- tact with the British dirigible R-34, whose calls for help con- tinued to grow more urgent all day as she neared the finish of her transatlantic journey, only to find gasoline and sustaining hydrogen gas exhausted, was established tonight at 11:40 by the destroyer Bancroft of the United States.
 Naval observers said the destroyer would probably stand by the dirigfble until daylight. calling the Stevens to her assistance meanwhile. No attempt to take the nirship in tow to re- fuel her would be possible until then, 1t was said. If the airship has gas and fuel enough to sustain herself until she can reach Boston, it is ex- pected that no attempt will be made to resuppIy her at sea.
 The new position of the R-34. ms given in the Bancrofts dispatch, shows that the dirigfble is making steady progress toward Boston and was, at the time the dispatch was filed, about 115 miles from it's objective. At the rate the R-34 is travelling 1t should cover the distance in five hours, which would bring it over Chatham between and o'clock a. m. Sunday.
