Washington. d. c.. Jan. 27.-(By The
Associated Press)-Provision has been
made in the annual army appropria-
ton bill, for an army of only 10000 at
the suggestion of President-elect
Harding, Representative Anthony of
Kansas, chairman of the house appro-
priations subcommittee said tonight, in
announcing that the bill was ready to
be reported.
Tho proposed army OF 100000 which
compares with the present army of
about 213OOO and with the army of 49,
900 men fixed in a resolution adopted
by congress was suggested by Mr..
Harding as a proper maximum, Chair
man Anthony said at the conference
he held with the president-elect at
Marion.
Mr.. Harding according to Mr.. An
thony expressed tho belief that an
army of 10000 together with the re-
serves, national guard and other forces
should provide sufficient military es-
tablishment during peace.
Tho army appropriation bill which
probably will be submitted to the house
Friday carries appropriations of 1925
100000 which represents a reduction
of s62, 900 900 from the appropriation for
this year, and n cut of more than half
in the war department estimates OF
sojNIFJtsNtJ-
The drastic cut, Chairman Anthony
said, resulted from the conviction OF
committee members that the army
has been living too high.
The subcommittee went over the
| measure Thursday making final revi'
sions and the result was an elimina-
| tion of about s2,OoJ,0o from the $780,
| 900, 900 which the committee several
days ago. was reported to nave agreed
on.
| The most drastic cut. Chairman An
! thony said. was In the amount pro
vided for the pay of civilian employees
The decrease decided on, he said
would reduce the number of such em
| ployes by one-half and mean tho dis
missal of from 10000 to $1,000.
Nearly all construction would b'
eliminated and keeping within it
provisions. Mr.. Anthony said, woulc
mean that the war department mus
dispose of at least one-half of th
, present army camps.
