TO HOLD 100000 IN ARMY
General March Says U. S., Force Will
Not Be Reduced Under Any
Circumstances.

Washington, March 10. = General
March announced that the army would
not be reduced under any circumstan.
ces below the figure mentioned in the
reorganization bill which failed in con-
gress-a total of 100000 officers and
men. He said this total would be
maintained until some law was passed
providing for permanent force which
would permit the military necessities
of the United States to be handled"
The statement was made in cOnnec
ton with the information that General
Pershing had been authorized to re.
sumo enlistments for the regular army.
Men now overseas who desire to en-
list in the regular establishment, Gen
eral March said, would be accepted and
assigned to regular organisations in the
army of occupation. releasing other
men to be discharged.
American troops actually participant
ing in engagements against the enemy
numbered 100000 men. General
March announced the figures, showing
that 100000 comprised divisional
troops and divisional requirements
100000 corps and army troops and 3d.
600 service of supply troops.

Appropriations Cannot Be Made.

Several proposed appropriations, in
bills up for hearings before assembly
and senate finance committees. are
unconstitutional, according to an opin-
ion rendered by Attorney General j.
]. Blaine to B. A. Kiekhefer, secretary
of the state board of public affairs.
The list of invalid appropriations
includes that to the family of Bill
Purdy, the attorney general ruling
that appropriations can be voted by
the legislature only for purposes of
common interest as taxpayers can be
required only to pay taxes for such
purposes. The Purdy interest is priv
ate and therefore Illegal, it is held.
The proposed increases in salaries
for NJ E. Blumenfeld, superintendent
of public property, and for George w.
Weigle, dairy and food commissioner,
are invalid because such increases can
not be granted during term of office.
Thus it implies increase can be grant
ed to take effect should Mr.. Weigle be
reappOinted, or for his successor.
Another important appropriation bill
which would be illegal, according to
the attorney general, is that by Sen
atOr Buck, appropriating $4,000 for
such increased salaries for teachers as
may be authorized by normal school
regents. These teachers already are
under contract, entered into for the
school year, and the constitution does
not permit increases for services after
services shall have been rendered or
contract entered into, it is held.
Proposed increases for court re-
porters are upheld, as they are APP
pointed under a special section and
the appointing judges or successors
may remove them at pleasure.
The Perry bill for increases for leg
islative employees is upheld, as they
are moi classified as officers, but in
creases must affect service rendered
after act goes into effect.

Funds Rushed to Badgers.

The unusual circumstances of ac-
ton being taken on bill, leaving de-
tails TO be introduced, and Introducing
q bill and enacting it into a law TO
sanction such action, occurred at the
capitol.
An appeal directed TO Governor
Philip. recently came from the Wis
cOnsin Society of New York, asking
that money be rushed there to aid in
caring for returning Wisconsin sol
diers. The telegram said Wisconsin
men were returning so rapidly and
there was so much pressing work, that
quarters were required, for which the
society had not sufficient funds.
Governor Philip got in touch with
Carl Kurtenacker, chairman of the
assembly finance committee, and
prompt assurance was given that bill
would be introduced to appropriate
for the emergency fund.
The sum of $1,000 was obtained in
the nature of loan. and telegraphed
to New York with assurances that
more would be forthcoming if neces-
sary.
Both houses of the legislature
later passed bill appropriating $4,000
TO conduct headquarters in New York
to take care of Wisconsin soldiers
