WAREHOUSE FORCE

Quartermaster Chief Announces
rs Per Cent Reduction
Of Employees
By a STAFF Correspondent

Washington, Feb. II. - Brigadier
General r. c.. Marshall, Jr., chief of
the construction division of the army
quartermaster corps, discloses in letter
to Representative Ware, of Philadelphis.
that cut of % per cent has been made
in the personnel of the army warehouse
in Philadelphia, where it was first pro-
posed to reduce the force by one half.
His letter says:
1.-The original order for the reducing
of personnel which called for a reduc
tion of 90 per cent in numbers of the
employees at that station was later
amended so the utilities officer could
make his own cut in personnel, the only
consideration being that the cut must
be equal to the amount in money de
Quoted from his appropriations by this
office.
1T was necessary to order a reduc
tion in personnel at this project be
cause of the limited funds of the con
struction division and for the purpose
of avoiding a deficiency. A reduction OF
approximately % per cent of the Der
sonnel was made rather than reduc
ton of so per cent as first ordered. In
view of the fact that this office ras nc
additional funds which can be allotted
to this project, the reduction which has
been made Mt that project cannot at the
present time be Obyiated "

Washington, Feb. 11.-(By 4. P.)-
The question of exactly what was said
in the conversation between Rear Ad-
miral Sims and three members of Con-
gress in Paris during the war prob
ably will lead the Senate committee in
vestigating the award of naval decora.
tons to prolong the hearing in justice
to both sides.
Admiral Sims denied he had belittled
Americas participation in the war, as
charged by Representative Byrnes, of
South Carolina, one of the trio who
talked with the admiral in Paris, and
snbstantiated in part by Senator Glass,
who was representative at the time
of his visit to France. Senator Glass,
however, explained that he did not
understand Admiral Sims to wish to
"discredit the army" but had believed
he was 'simply telling us what he had
heard and thought to be true"

Provisions to Senate for

WOULD. ALTER PREAMBLE

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE peace
treaty reservations as revised tentative
ly in recent unofficial bipartisan COM
promise conferences were formally pre-
sented in the Senate today by Senator
Lodge, the Republican leader, for con :
sideration when the treaty comes up
next Monday. t%1
The notifications do not agree en-
tirely with the draft which Democratic
members of the bipartisan committee
have said were tentatively agreed on.
Eight of the fourteen reservations
would be modified under Senator Lodges s
proposal, and the preamble would be
changed so that affirmative acceptance
by the other powers would not be re-
quired.
Four of the remaining six reserva-
tions were accepted by the Democratic
confcrees without change, the Repub-
licans on the committee say, while the
other two, relating to Article X and
the Monroe doctrine, were left un-
changed.
