Washington, Jan. 2S,--Chairman
Wadsworth of the senate military
committee which agreed Monday to
report favorably on a compulsory
universal military training plan.
declared tonight that Representa-
tive Mondell of Wyoming. republi-
can leader of the house. was in
correct in his statements yesterday
that $1,000. 100000 would be re-
quired to administer the army re-
organization bill with its universal
training provision. War depart
ment estimates, Chairman Wads-
worth said, showed that the annual
cost would be approximately $4O0,-
100000 less than the figure set by
Representative Mondell,
These estimates. the senate
chairman said, were prepared on
the theory that the regular army
and national guard would be MAIN
tanned at the authorized maximum
strength and without taking into
account the enormous quantities of
surplus stocks of equipment now
on hand Absence of adequate
training facilities for the national
guard, he added, leads the COM
mittee to believe. however that in
stead of The national guard totaling
425,0O0. as provided by the senate
army bill, it will not exceed $780,
900.
Taking. into account these fig
ures," the statement continued
''the committee has revised the es-
Inmates of the war department ana
believes that the annual cost of the
proposed military establishment
will run as follows: 1921, 5000
sos, 900; 1922, $623,545,000 1923,
s631,3S0, 1000; 1924. $632,575,000;
1925. $611,7S1,000, and 1926, $500,
987.000.
"Tn considering these estimates,
1t should be remembered that they
include the cost of the permanent
personnel or regular army, the ma
tional guard, the transportation,
subsistence, clothing, laundry,
medical attendance, and pay of all
the young men to be trained and
all the elements of overhead, in
Guiding maintenance and repair of
all buildings and utilities. In other
words, no element of cost has been
left out of this estimate. 1t will
not be necessary to enlarge our
present establishment nor to em-
bark upon new construction.
Senator Wadsworth estimated in
1921 the avera ge cost Of trained
soldier produced under the univer-
sal training system, would be $500,
while in 1926 it would be only $40
while today $l,S00 is required an
nually to support a soldier in the
regular army.

WILSON APPEALS
FOR FINANCIAL
AID FOR EUROPE
President Asks Secretary
Glass to Endeavor to Have
Congress Appropriate
$150,000,000 for Food.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-President
Wilson today asked Secretary
Glass to make another appeal to
congress for authority to loan
$50, 1000, 900 to Poland, Austria
and Armenia, to relieve their des-
pcrate food situation,
The president wrote the secre-
tary that it was "unthinkable to
him that the United States should
withhold from the stricken people
of those countries the assistance
which could be rendered by MAX
ing available on credit a small
portion of our eXportable surplus
Of food"
The presidents letter follows:
with considerable regret | have
noticed from the press that con-
gTess is delaying the granting Of
authority for the extension Of
prompt and generous relief to the
stricken portion of Europe, the
urgency and importance OF which
especially in respect to Poland
Austria and Armenia, you have
fully explained to the ways and
means committee. 1t is unthink-
able to me that we should with
hold from those people who are in
such mental and physical distress
the assistance which can be rem
dered by making available on
credit a small proportion of our
eXportable surplus of food which
would alleviate the situation. While
! am sure that you must have ex-
planned fully to the ways and
means committee the appalling sit
uation in those parts of Europe
where men, women and children
are now dying of starvation and
the urgent necessity for prompt
assistance. | beg of you that you
make another appeal to congress.
| am informed that through the
published reports of hearings be-
fore the ways and means commit
tee the congress has now been fnr-
Bished with incontrovertibie facts
showing the necessity for immedi-
ate affirmative action. This pros
porous republic ought not 20 bear
any part of the responsibility for
the moral and material chaos that
must result from an unwillingness
on our part to aid those less for
tunate than ourselves. We cannot
merely to husband a small pro-
portion of our surplus permit the
happening of this great. great
catastrophe

AGREEMENT AT THIS TIME
ONTREATYVERY UNLIKELY Y
VIEW OF SENAT TIE LEADERS
CITY MANAGER To
NEGOTIATE FOR
HEALTH OFFICE R

At the meeting of the city COM
missioners last night motion was
unanimously adopted delegating
the city manager to enter into ne
gotiations for a full time city
health officer. 1t was pointed out
by DR.. c, r. Waller. of the sia;e
board oF health that it was not
necessary to appoint medical man
for this pos tioE but one who had
made health ard sanitation a
special study and acquainted him
If with these subjects IN rartlcT-
lar. No Sta,cd salary TO be / aid
srch a hea Ill officer WAS adopted.
Heretofore, the Offices of city
health offiscr and city blllding in
spector have been combined. The
business of the two departments
has increased SO that it is impossi-
BILE for the work to be handled by
one man and if the city is to have
adequate health regulations and
enforcement someone must be
hired who is thoroughly familiar
with the work. Mr. Bowdlch, who
has been acting as city health Of
ficer and building inspector, will
now look after the building work
alone as soon as II health officer
can be employed.
AT a former session of the city
commission it was suggested that
the former city board of health be
called i'm to confer with the city
commission on the proposition of
tnintDtr with hn in Ihn m at
ter and that of creating full time
health department, At the meet
ing last night all the former mem
bers of the health board were in
attendance and gave it as their
opinion that such a department
should be created Immediately and
that it would probably be better to
join with the county in the matter.
"Unless we have some effective
health supervision and have 1t
quickly, we are going to be up
against the worst health PROPOSE
tion of any city in the United
States" said DR.. l.. S, Peters. I'VE
are harboring between $500 and
5000 tubercular patients in this
vicinity continually, who are allow
I'D to eXpectorate upon our side
walks and in our cutters, which
exposes every person who walks
along that sidewalk; and 1t is tim5
that we have some drastic heath
regulations. If the authority tn
look after this is not delegated
under one head we are going to
set into a hopeless muddle."
1t was the opinion that a joint
county and city health department
would be the most successful.
Commissioner j. NJ. Reynolds
objected to combining the two for
the reason that it was his opinion
that the county would not provide
a competent man for the position,
In the matter of quarantining
the influenza cases that have been
reported to city health officer,
there was a divided opinion among
the medical members present
whether this should be done. DR..
Waller, of the state health board,
contended it should and said that
there could be no discussion of the
matter inasmuch as the law spe-
officially stated that 1t should be
done, and that IL cases were not re-
ported by physicians they were
liable to prosecution.

STATE HISTORY
IS PROPOSED BY
LOCAL CLUBMEN n

Sixty-seven members attended the
weekly meeting OF the Kiwanis
club which was held in the BAN
quet room of the Y, NJ. c. a. yes
terday noon. Two speakers, Rrof.
Roscoe II. Hill of the University Of
New Mexico and r. Y. stuart of
Washington, ID. c.. of the United
States forestry service gave inter-
esting talks.
Professor Hill, who is in charge
of the history department of the
state university, urged the estab-
lishment Of historical association
which would have as its object the
collecting Of early historical data
and translations of original docu-
ments pertaining to the history of
New Mexico. These documents,
most of which are chronicles dating
back to the seventeenth and eight
eenth centuries, are now reposing
in the archives of the City of Mex
leo and Seville, Spain. The early
history of New Mexico, according
to Professor Hill, is of vastly su-
perior Importance and interest than
the history of any other part of
the old Spanish domain which
has since been assimilated by the
United States. The professor has
had much experience in this line of
work, having been appointed by
the Carnegie institute to record the
early Spanish settlement history
Of Louisiana and Florida.
After the completion of his
speech, DR.. H. M. Bowers made a
motion that the club father this
movement, which will be under the
auspices of TIE state university and
Or. NJ, X, Wylder, president of the
club, appointed a committee, which
will cooperate with Professor Hill
in his project.
The second speaker, r. Y Stuart
of the United States forestry serv-
ice, informed the club as to the
throughout the country,
He said that in spite of the enor-
nous demand for timber at pres
eat, the forestry service is doing all
in its power to perpetuate the sup
ply by replacing the hewn wood
with saplings. In doing this, Mr..
stuart said that the fear of a lum-
ber panic need not be entertained
for everything is being done to re-
generate our country's forests.
A flashlight given by John Kel-
ly Of the American garage was the
attendance prize, and was won by !
A. r. Hebenstreiti The silent boost
was by the Program committee
which appealed to the members to
assist them III arranging future
In addition to the sixty
seven members, seven invited |
guests were present.

CHURCH SURVEY
IN STATE MAKES
GREAT PROGRESS

The religious survey being made
by the inter-church movement,
is making greater progress in
the state of New Mexico than
in any other state in the
union, according to report
made yesterday by the local inter-
church office which was opened on
Tuesday in the whiting building
Or. r. II. Mills, field secretary and
survery supervisor, Is in charge Of
all the work here, assisted by Mrs
r. A. Jones, assistant i'm the sur
vey, Miss Blanche Porterfield and
Miss Dorothy Probandt assistant
office secretary.
This office will manage the cam
paign for this state and for El
Paso county, Tex, request hav-
ing been made by the president of
the Ministerial association that El
PasO be included. The next large
meeting will be held there. Ar
rangements for the conference to
be held here in the near future are
being made, the railroad fare of
every minister in the state will be
paid to this conference and DR..
Mills is in hopes of making ar
rangements for paying all the ex-
penses of all missionaries in the
state.
The progress of the survey in this
state is due, says DR., Mills, to the
great enthusiasm of the county
leaders. DR.. II. S. Davidson is in
charge of BernalilIo county. The
constructive church work which
follows win be planned according
to a map which is being made, To-
eating every church and the ra-
dius of its influence, in the state. 1t
has been found that churches fol-
low the lines of the railroads and
the main thoroughfare, and that
for every mile which comes under
the church's influence, there are
thousands of square miles where
there is no religious work at all
done.
DR.. Mills received yesterday a
telegram from Robert Lansing. sec
retary of state, and general chair
man of the inter church world
requesting that he at
tend the national layman's confer
ence to be held at Pittsburgh. jan
uary 81. and February /, He is un-
able to attend owing to work in
hand here.
The object of the inter-church
movement is to bring the denomi-
nations together for a better and
more equable distribution of relig-
ious service, and to promote feeling
of greater cooperation and Chris
tan spirit among all the denomi-
nations. The survey will tabulate
the number of persons living in
each community. will classify the
prevailing beliefs, and as far as
possible the spiritual needs of the
community.

BOLSHEVLSM IS CONDEMNED
COMPLETED Y, FZNALLYAND
FOR ALL TIME BY GOMPERS

and the largest bolshevist estimate
of the proletariat calculates them
as only fifth of the number of
peasants. Even fairly prosperous
workingman, by this calculation,
Mr.. Gompers says, is not prole-
tartan. Bolshevist statistics, he
says. show that the bolshevist min
ority does not even represent the
masses of factory workers in Mos
COW, the bolshevist stronghold.
He quotes dispatch from Rus
sian trade unionists to w. A. APP
pleton, president of the Interna-
tional Federation of Trade Unions,
which declares that bolshevists
have split UP the reserve funds of
trade unions as a class. and put
down strikes by force of arms and
plentiful executions"
"In all concepts of freedom with
in the American nation" says Mr..
Gompers, zone fundamental prin-
ciple is that any involuntary serv-
itude, that is, compulsory labor,
shall not be enforced upon the
working people" He quotes the
amendment to the federal consti.
tuition and adds:
''That concept and the spirit of
that amendment have been entirely
reversed by the constitution OF
bolshevist Russia. which provides
for and enforces compulsory labor
The plea to withhold judg-
ment is a last desperate attempt
to win favor from the American
people for a system of government
which by the confession of its own
advocates and defenders is foreign
to every concept of the American
republic. We know about Russia.
We know about bolshevism. We
know the piteous story of cruelty
and intolerance and we know the
concept that underlies
the minority dictatorship which is
hailed to the world by its dupes
and advocates as the most perfect
state of society yet advised. We
know about 1t and we condemn 1t

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Writing
in the current number of the Fed
erationist, official organ of the
American Federation of Labor,
Samuel Gompers condemns boil
shevism completely, finally and
for all time"
The American labor leader de-
clares he doubts whether the pro-
paganda which emanates from the
bolshevist organization itself is
more effective than that "con-
Quoted by those who claim to be
entirely detached from Russian
influence and Russian payrolls.r
He says he doubts whether publi-
cations issued by Russian bolshev-
ist agents have as great an effect
in America as those which like
to be known as Journals of Opln-
ion.' such as The Nation, The Dial,
and The New Republic"
Mr.. Gompers makes an extended
reference to the argument that
the American people know little
about what is going on in Russia
and the argument that it is unfair
and unwise to pass judgment.
1--WE do not have to wait for in
formation about the form of gov
ernment existing in what is called
Soviet Russia" he said, "all the
necessary to the pass
ing of Judgment on bolshevism and
the system of government and as
a state of society, is at hand from
sources that are authentic. The
plea of those misguided persons in
America who say wait for facts
before passing judgment is moth
ing more than an excuse which 1t
is hoped will gain time for the
Russian experiement and enable 1t
to spread to other countries"
Quoting from the new bolshev-
st constitution, Mr.. Gompers points

poorest peasantry. a great portion
