Washington, March 1o.-Pleas of little army" men 10 reduce military expenses were rejected today by the house. which approved a peacetine establishmnt of 2se. 900 enlisted men and l7,S20 officers. after rejecting three proposals for a smaller force.

 In addition to authorizing a regh- lar army 100, GOO stronger than provid- ed by the national defense act of 19le, the house also accepted a lesson of the world war by adopting the princi- pie of permitting the tactical organ iZations of the army to be prescribed by the president instead of by law. Likewise. 1t approved of making sep arate corps of the air service. the chemical warfare service and the h- nance department, but refused to d. vorce the transportation and the con- struction services from the quarter master department

W. Va. Legislature
 R.t fies S.fffage
Deciding Vote Cast by Sena- tor Block of Wheeling, Who Hurried From California.

Charleston, W. Va, March 10.EThe West Virginia legislature ratified the suffrage amendment late this after noon. Final action on the amendment was taken by the senate in adopting the ratification resolution of the house of delegates by a vote of 15 to 14.
 The vote of Senator Jesse A. Block of Wheeling, who made hurried trip from California to Charleston to vote on the amendment. was effectual in breaking the deadlock between pro and anti-suffrage forces. Senator A. R. Montgomery was not perfitted tu vote. his seat having been declared vacant.
 The final vote on the Anthony amendment was taken at 6.15 o'clock in the senate after one of the most dramatic sessions ever witnessed in either house of the legislature. For several hours suffrage leaders and their opponents fought in an effort to gain definite advantage. Each step by either side was hotly contested anti suffrage forces determined to off, set their opponents victories in keep in the legislature in session and the suHragists confident of gaining a ma jor:ty to ratify by the vote of Senator Bloch, who had rushed nearly across a continent for the occasion.
 Al first, occupants of the galleries took more interest in the Wheeling senator Soon, however, interest was diverted to issues featuring the con- test These included the actiot of. the s. rate in declaring vacant the seat of Senator A. R. Montgomery, depriving him of the vote which would have de- feated ratification and the taking up and adopting of the ratification reso- lution of the lower house, without l amending the senate rules, one week after the senate's vote defeating it's ] own resolution on the same subject 1 Halls and corridors in the state 1 house were thronged with spectators | including scores of men and womer 1 who wore yellow flowers as a token o! 1 their allegiatce to the suffrage cause
 The senate chamber presented a col. l orful picture with yellow flowers anC ribbons. Each senator had brought tC his desk as many chairs as could B, l crowded about it, the majority beinf 1 occupied by women. In addition every available inch of space of tn, 1 chamber was utilized for spectators | When President SinseI rapped for or der it was necessary to clear the aisle 1 for the pages, and the space had to b. 1 cleared often thereafter.

BASIS FOR DoMINIoN's
 NAVAL ESTABLISHMENT

Ottawa, March 1o.-Canada should have for the protection of her ports alone three light cruisers. one ho- tilla leader, twelve torpedo craft, eight submarines and one parent ship" Admiral Viseount Jellicoe de- clared in his report to parliament on the Dominion's naval needs, made public in the house of commons to- day. He recommended administra- ton of Canada's navy by naval board" similar to the present mill tia council, with a minister for the navy" responsible solely for the fight ing arm of the government service and answerable for his administra- ton to parliament.
 Four suggestions were made on a possible naval building plan for Can- ada. ranging from a s25,000,000 fleet to one costing $5.000,000. He empha- sized the importance of naval air service stating that any navy to be complete must possess it's proper complement" of aircraft.
 As a basis for the Dominion's naval establishment, Admiral Jelli- COG suggested the fleet unit" of one battle cruiser, two light cruisers, si1 destroyers, four submarines and twC fleet mine sweepers.
 Naval assistance of the United States during the war, in the shape O cruisers. destroyers and other small vessels in assisting in the convoy o trade ships allowed Great Britain tt pursue some. of her overseas expe ditions," Admiral Jellicoe ssid. He recommended continuation O the Royal Naval Canadian .Volunteei Reserve under the name of the Roy. | al Canad' an Naval Reserve.

HEARING ON COMPENSATION
 TO FORMER SERVICE MEN

Washington, March 10.-A bond issue ito pay adjusted compensation to former service men, Republican Leader Mondel of Wyoming, told the house ways and means committee to- day, would "ongineer a panic and send prices ballooning." He opposed any relief legislation at this time on the ground that heavy additional taxes would be necessary whatever plan of relief was adopted.

 Extension of financial relief is utterly impossible unless the people are willing to stand heavy additional taxes. A consumption tax, always unpopular, is the only tax which could be collected from month to month, producing revenue continu ously."
 Representative Swope. repubican Kentucky, urged adoption of a bil granting an extra years pay to aI1 those in the service, except those who served less than two months. He es. timated such a plan would require | an outlay of $1,300,0 900.
 The cash payment plan of the American Legion for $50 for eacf month of service was endorsed h1 Major A. B. Critchfield, infantrJ school, firmerly of Akron, Ohio. 7 Soldier relief also came up in tho senate, where opponents of such legislation outnumbered those advo eating it.

Brands Wilson Letter as Unjust to France
Andre Tardieu Says the Re proach of Imperialism Can not Apply to France.

Paris, March 1o.-Andre Tardieu, who was member of Frances dele gation in the peace conference, said today regarding President Wilson's letter to Senator Hitchcosk:
 French public opinion will be in ac cord with that of the government that the reproach of imperialism cannot apply to France. It is not upon the peace treaty that such a reproach can be based. The treaty was judged and defined by President Wilson himself, in solidarity with the heads of the other governments, in the response addressed by them on June 16, 1919, 1 to Count Won Brockdorff- Rantzau, the head of the German peace delegation.
 That was a capital document" said M. Tardieu, who recalled that it in- | formed the Germans that the peace proposed was fundamentally a peace of justice" and that it provided "a { basis upon which the people of Europe l could live together in friendship and ! equity" M. Tardieu continues: Neither is it on the present pol | icy of France that one can base the reproach of imperialism against her. Fault is found with us. it appears for having more soldiers in our army than before the war. That is notour fault. Our object is to diminish by all pos sible means our military burden.
 But this is the situation: First 1 We asked that part of the League of Nations create an organized armed
 force as an essential condition of dis
 armament in the different countries
 Our proposition was rejected three
 different times.
 I Secondly the United States prom
 ised their guarantee in case of un-
 provoked attack, as well by the treaty
 of Versailles as by the special treaty
 between them and us, and neither O.
 those treaties is ratified.
 ''Third-The treaty of Versailles i'm
 posed upon the allied and associated
 powers a certain number of common
 military duties-occupation of the lef bank of the Rhine, Schleswig, Dan zig. Memel, Allenstein, Marienwerder I Upper Silesia and Teschen. Except
 ting a few thousand Americans on tn , Rhine, it is French troops whicl everywhere bear that charge alone 7 The treaty was to be executed by sev
 eral. We are executing it nearl
 alone.
 | ' "Fourth-The negotiations in Pari } had in view participation by all tn 7 allied and associated powers in tn
 occupation of mandate territorie:
 Here. again. the United States disap I peared, and to protect the population p against massacres in Constantinopl' Anatolia, Armenia and Gilicia it wa
 again French that was called upon.
 Therefore, I repeat, it is unjust t v 1 accuse us of imperialism. No one e France protests against the continui . increase of the American navy. Gu
 army like the American navy, is whs
 circumstances require it to be and is not France that created those cii 2 cumstances. It is the debate goin | fnr he in fad fe over ratification Of the peace treat
 that created them. Everyone know
 my respect fQr President Wilson, but s think that in his last letter to Sena Il tor Hitchcock he has been unjust { T France"

BRANDEGEE AND MLEAN ON
 WILSON'S ARTICLE 10 LETTER
Especial to The Bulet:n)

Washington, March 9.-After the letter of the president to MT. Hitch cock had been made public Senator Brandegee was asked what he thought its effect would be. The president has strangled his own child,' he re- piled. He has killed the treaty by insisting not the slightest change shall be made even to the dotting of an or crossing of as he once said"
 Senator Mclean went more into de- tail and in reply to 4 ] same ques- tion by The Bulletin correspondent, said:
 "I hope those who are in favor of a league of nations, will carefully note the following extracts from President Wilson's letter to Senator Hitchcock In discussing the character of res- ervations to Article 10. which would be unobjectionable, he says: There can be no objection to ex- 1 blaming again what our constitu- tional method is and that our con- gross alone can declare war or de- term;ne the causes or occasions for war, and that it alone can authorize the use of the armed forces of the | United States on land or on the sea-" This is precisely what the Lodge AS~~- ES@N%SAAo c1NNSA14 RAtSAY dllu uS more. They simpy remove all doubt as to the right of congress to dea with disputes which may result in war or necessitate coercion. | Again, the president says, in dis ] cussing the reservations proposed ts 1 Article 10:
 For my own part, I am not will ing to trust to the counsel of diplo. mats the working out of any sal vation of the world from Ghe thing. which it has suffered.
 This is just what the League O
 Nations does, and no less. It sur. ! renders the sovereignty of the Unite,
 States to an executive council com
 posed of nine Irresponsible diplo
 mats, eight of them aliens and hos
 tile to the interests of the Unite,
 States.
 The rest of the letter is q medley o
 sounding brass and tinkling cym
 bals" but the extracts quoted clearl
 reveal an astonishing lack of com
 prehension or sincerity. or both, O. the part of their author"
