 Secretary Baker estimated that the war department would incur a defi- cit of $60.000,000 during the present year. Of this amount, he said. S3S.- 0U0.O00 will be needed for the Day of enlisted men. Chairman Anthony. however. said members of the com. mit1ee were convinced the war de- partments deficiency would total al least S100, ,000.0G0
 The war department secretary was asked to submit report showing what camps were being maintained and for what purpose they were be ing used.
 We must close at least half of our camps. particularly those locat- ed in more remote districts which cannot be kept up as cheaply as those closer 10 supplies" Anthony said Tt has been shown that it cost much more to maintain troops on the Mexican border than at cen traliZed posts. The committee. for the sake of economy. intends to pro- vide for the withdrawal of many of the troops now on the. border"
 Another policy of the committee, Anthony indicated, would be to pro vide for the full strength mainten- ance of only two divisions instead of nine as the war department fay- ors. The remaining divisions would be maintained in skeletonized form and would he increased to full strength only in emergencies.
 Immediate safe of between 3O.0o9 and 10000 motor trucns now hsl6 in reserve was said by Anthony to be favored by the committee.
 Secretary Baker. in reply to question said the army at present consisted of approximately 216.OOO enlisted men and 14.000 officers
