Burns Anniversary to
 Be Celebrated Tonight
By CHARLES H. MANDY

And Burns-though brief the race he
 ran.
 Though rough and dark the paths he
 trod
 Lived-died-in form and soul man. The image of his God"
 1Halleck.
 Whenever or wherever two or more scotehmen are gathered together on the 25tn of January. the toast of Bob Tie Burns is always responded to-. Tor 1t was on this day in the year 1759 mat Scotland's greatest poet. and. as ms admirers proudly declare. the greatest poet of all time and cline, tlrst saw the light of day
 The life and works of Burns are too well known to need any comment here. other than that as the years roll on and democracy is in the ascendancy. or on its way to ascendency the civil IAed world oveF the democracy of Burns, as evidenced oy some of his greatest and best known poems, is be- Ing more and more appreciated.
 How applicable are two of his most quoted poems. "A mans man for a that and Mans inhumanitv to man, to the present time. While the so-called divine right of kings had been long refuted. except by the brag. 6"' anu pidSpheHief who DtunEcd the world into the most horrible war of all time. Burns denied such right at a period when it was generally ac- cepted. when he stoutly declared: "A prince can mak a belted knight.
 A marquis, duke an a that: But an honest mans aboon his might, Guide faith. he maunna ia thatl For a that an a that.
 Their dignities an a that; The pith O sencc. an pride O worth Are higher rank that O that
 And how true his words. Mans in- humanity to man makes countless thousands mourn" have been since Burns penned this immortal phrase.
 But. as my friend and colleague. Frank Willis, would say, back to the first of the story.
 As was stated. it is customary for Scotchmen to remember their great poet on each recurring Burns anni- versary with suitable exercises. This year the anniversary came on Sunday and the usual public celebration was omitted.

1000 officers. and national guards.
 Specific provision Is made in the bill that the citizen army cannot be called to the colors except in case of declaration of war. To accommodate the reserve force built up under the system of military training, provision is made in the bill for an annual re- duction of per cent in the enlisted strength of the regular army and 2 per cent in the number of enlisted of ficers for the first five years. This will mean. Chairman Wadsworth ex- plained. that at the end of five years the regular army will be reduced bs 70 900 men and 800 commissioned of ficers, which will greatly decrease the cost of maintaining the military es. tablishment.
 ANNUAL TRAINING
 The bill would also place all youths who have undergone the four months training on the reserve list. to be sub ject ito two weeks training annually. Under an amendment by Senator Spen- cer republican, of Missouri. depend- ents of such youths during training would receive an allowance the same as now provided under the war risk insurance act.
 Establishment of the office of under secretary of war. who would be charged with the solution of the great industrial and business problems in- volved in the procurement of military supplies. is provided by the committee upon Secretary Bakers recommenda- tion. and eliminated provisions which would work to make General Pershing chief of staff in pface of General March. the present chief of staff.
 The present bill, if passed as drafted. Senator Wadsworth said tonight, will reduce expenditures for the military establishment by one-half. Senator Wadsworth said he would report the bill to the Senate possibly tomorrow and would seek to call it up for con- sideration at the earliest possible mo- ment Owing to other measures now pending he hardly expects to bring 1t up in the Senate before next week.
