PLANS FOR ARMY
AROUSE CONFLICT
CONGRESS AND WAR DEPART
MENT CLASH AT FIRST
MEETING. OF HOUSE SUB.
COMMITTEE TO DRAFT AP.
PREPARATION BILL. CHAIR
MAN PREDICTS THAT BIG CUT
WILL BE MADE.

WILL BE MADE.
, Washington, Dec. 14.-Sharp con-
fliets between congress and the war
department over the amount Of
money to be appropriated this year
for the military establishment de-
xe3oped today at the initial meeting
Of the house subcommittee 10 draft
the 1922 army appropriation bill.
Representative Anthony Of Kan
sas, chairman Of the subcommittee,
predicted that the army appropria-
ton for the coming fiscal year
would be cut approximately to
100000, 900. He advocated re-
strietion of the size of the army to
175,0OO enlisted men, abandonment
Of half of the camps maintained by
the war department, and immediate
sale of the army's surplus supplies.
Secretary Baker and Major Cen
eral March, chief of staff, appear
ing before the committee urged the
appropriation this year of approx
mately s7OO, 100000 for army ex-
penses. The war department was al
lowed $392,OOO,OO0 for the present
year. Secretary Baker estimated
that the war department would in
cur a deficit of s6O,oOO,OOO during
the present year. Of this amount, he
said, $3s,0CO,0O0 will be needed
for the pay of enlisted men. Chair
man Anthony, however, said men,
bers of the committee were con-
vinced the war departments def
cheney would total at least $780,
100000.
The war department secretary
was asked to submit a report show
ing what camps were being manned
and for what purpose they were be-
ing used.
eve must close at least some of
our camps. Those located in more
central districts, which can not be
kept up as cheaply as those closer
to supplies" said Mr.. Anthony. 1T
has been shown that it costs much
more to maintain troops on the
Mexican border than at centralized
posts. The committee for the sake
of economy intends to provide for
the withdrawal of many of the
troops now on the border"
Another policy of the committee
Mr.. Anthony indicated, would be to
provide for the full strength main
tenance of only two divisions in
stead of nine, as the war depart
nent favor. The remaining divisions
would be maintained in skeletonized
form and would be increased to full
strength only IN emergencies under
Mr.. Anthony's plan.
Immediate sale Of between. 3d.
>0a0 and 10000 motor trucks now
held in reserve was said BY Repre-
sentative Anthony to be favored by:
the committee.
Secretary Baker was questioned
particularly as to the present size
of the army and in reply said it con-
sisted Of approximately 216,0o0 en-
listed men and $4,000 officers.
Members Of the house military
committee have charged the war de-
partment with breaking faith with
congress in recruiting more than
the 10000 men for which pro-
vision was made in the army appro-
priation bill.
"This year," said Representative
Anthony, I'VE will appropriate for
an army Of not more than 175,00G
men and in addition will put man.

Local Boys Open Batting Rally on
Pike Team and Win-Pikers Slug
Twice for Circuit

The Hendrix College Bulldogs play
ed in good form yesterday afternoon
and slipped II to 8 defeat to the
Fourth Infantry from Camp Pike on
Russell field here. If the Bulldogs
play in as good form on their trip
next week as they did yesterday, the
chances are they will take majority
of the games.
The visitors started their scoring
rather abruptly. Higbie, first batsman
to face Coleman, hit the first ball over
the left field fence for home run.
The next three men, however, were
easy out and the score was l to 0 for
the soldiers until the third inning,
when the Bulldogs put across two
runs on as many hits, sacrifice and
an error by Lipski, shortstop. The
fourth opened with Lewis drawing a
free trip to first and Floyd Followed
him with a homer over the fence.
The Bulldogs in their half of the
fourth succeeded, however, in placing
the skids under Wesley in fitting
manner, and he slid out of the box
in favor of Stone. The Hendrix
team, however, could not be stopped
and before the side was retired, eight
Bulldogs had circles the bases Two
more markers in the fifth completed
the scoring.
V. Coleman for the Bulldogs retired
at the beginning of the fifth inning
in favor of Mutt" Wahl. Coleman
allowed two hits-both home runs
while Vail held the soldiers to one
two-base hit in the four innings he
pitched.

Poison Gas to Fight Squirrels.

Experiments In the use of poison gas
in DISCRIMINATING grain-eating ground
squirrels are under way, according to a
report of the county horticultural com
mission to the Los Angeles board of
supervisors.
At the same time 1t was announced
that Los Angeles county has sold its
surplus stock of saccharine and strych-
nine to Orange county in order that
the neighbOring county can join In the
campaign being waged against the de-
structive ground squirrels.
According to Horticultural Commits
sioner Ryan, the use Of poison gas Is
necessary at this time because the
squirrels, which have been practically
eliminated from the worst affected re-
gions in the county by the use of poi
sons during the past few months, fail
to eat the poison at this time, pre-
ferring the new vegetable growth.

Bird Preserve Planned.

The proposal to establish an extern
sive wild-bird preserve on the north
ern shore Of Lake Erie is gaining wide
favor in Canada. Something must be
done at once, it is urged by bird low
ers, to preserve the wild fowl and in
sectivorous birds, or they will be-
come as extinct as the wild pigeon.
There are strict game regulations In
the province, but the establishment Of
a large preserve would assist the leg
islatlon. There Is already a nucleus
of the proposed area in Rondeau park,
and it is planned to extend this along
the lake shore west for 30 miles.

SOLDIERS LIKED THE PRINCE
Hell to British Throne Fond OF Min.
Cling With the Fighters, When
He Was Permitted.

In the front lines a Canadian soldier
was building a fire one cold night Of
late autumn. Out of the night behind
him came a footstep. He turned, and
became doubly alert when he saw that
the man was not an officer Of his reg-
ment. The visitor approached the
blaze held his hands out over 1t and
said:
This fire certainly looks good to
me-"
The tone was pleasant enough, and
suspicion was almost unarned when
the voice went on
"Have you wood enough? If you
haven't I'll get you some more"
The fire builder felt some regret that
any suspicion whatever remained. but
there had been a special warning
against strangers not Of ones own
regiment. In response to 1t he was
about to question the newcomer close.
ly when an officer whom he did know
came within the firelit circle and ad.
dressed the stranger:
Your royal highness, 1t IS best that
you return to the automobile at once"
And the prince of Wales reluctantly
left the fire and returned to the place
where he officially belonged. 1t was
not the first time he had left that place
OF his own accord and gone forward
among the men. The Canadian who
tells the story learned afterward that
the princes staff had It's hands full to
keep him from breaking away from
the official circle prescribed for him
