THE number of officers in the regular
army and navy resigning their COM
mands is causing great deal of UNI
easiness in army and government cir
cles. The reason most universally CIV
en- is the insufficiency of the pay. Of
ficers with families find it impossible to
meet the present situation of high cost
with their monthly pay envelope. En-
listment in the ranks is also very slow;
the discharged men who returned from
the war do not take kindly to re-enlist-
ment, and their enthusiasm for soldier
ing has not been such as to fill the
younger men with eagerness to join
the ranks.

K0LCHAK' MEN MELTED AWAY
 T0BOLSHEVIKI

NEW YORK, April 1 (by Associated Press ).-How an army of S000O Kol- chak troops melted away" by deser- tion to the Bolsheviki, following speech made to prisoners of war by Leon Trotzky in Omsk, Siberia, two days after that city's evacuation by the All-Russian forces, was told here today by Major General I. Thord Gray, a former officer of the British, Cana dian and All-Russian armies, just re- turned from Vladivostok
 Trotzky, he said, addressing the prisoners as comrades" said they would be welcomed by the red army If t,ley cared to join. Captive off, eers, he said, who wanted to return to Kolchak would be given safe con- duct and 2,000 rubles each. A number of the prisoners accepted the offer and, returning to their own lines, told what Trotzky had done Within two weeks, General Thord Gray said, Kolchak had practically no army, and few months later was executed.
 General Thord- Gray went to Siberia with a Canadian expedition and was taken prisoner by the Bolsheviki when they captured Vladivostok Before leaving, he said, two attempts were made to assassinate him.
 Toward the last, he said, the Bol shevik troops showed better morale than Kolchak's men. They also had one machine gun for every twenty men, he said, whereas the Kolchab army had only three with every bat talion almost 500 men. During the retreat of the Kolchak army a 2,OO0 mile retirement, they were driven be fore machine guns, but seldom before rifle fire. General Sakharoff, the All Russian war minister and chief o staff, he said, Host the army at Omsf without fight

BUILDING OF SHIPS GOES
 ON RAPIDLY

PHILADELPHIA, April 1 (by Asso- ciated Press ).-There has been no sign of a 1et-up in the American ship building industry since the govern ment lifted it's ban forbidding ship builders from accepting orders from private concerns, says E. H. Rigg, na- val architect of the plant of the New York Shipbuilding Corporation.
 Vessels aggregating 1,250,000 tons have been ordered since the govern ment ban has been lifted" said MT. Rigg in an address the other day to the members of the Engineers Club. But" he added, lit will. be eighteen months or two years before the worlds merchant tonnage is back to normal" :" Discussing advantages which the American merchant marine enjoys over the British, MT. Rigg pointed out that 80 per cent of the American ships are oil burners, while only 5 per cent of the British ships can use oil for fuel. This, he said, gives the Aneri' can marine an advantage in the cost of crews, due to the elimination of many stokers.

ATHENS, Jauly 90 (By the Associat-

Minor is waiting to see if the Turkish
nationalsts submit to the peace treaty
before occupying more territory and
pursuing Mustapha Renal Pasha the
nationalist leader, to Angora. However,
it is the view of Gen. Paraskevopoulos,
the Greek commander, in chief, that his
forces can easily finish routing the
nationalists, whose troops, he says, are
demoralized and without munitions.
Mustapha Renal lost vast quantities of
stores, artillery and medical supplies,
which he cannot replace, according to
the Greek commander.
