CONGRESS MAY
DECIDE TO CUT
ARMY BY HALF
Senate and House Leaders
Said to Have Agreed on
Reduction.
NAVY CUT ALSO LIKELY

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2S.-Despite the
refusal Of the armament conference TO
take up the question of land armament,
the whole subject will be opened up in
Congress after it reconvenes Jan. 8, it
was indicated today.
An appropriation for a United States
Army Of 5000 is understood to have al
ready been agreed upon by Representa-
tive Anthony, Republican. Kansas. who
represents the Senate Military Affairs
Committee on the recognized House Ap-
propriations Committee, and by other
House leaders.
Such an appropriation, if accepted by
the Senate and House, in passing the
new Army supply bill. would automatic
ally cut the size of the present United
States Army in half.
The present standing army strength
of 10000 was fixed after a bitter fight
by Senator Wadsworth, Republican, of
New York, chairman Of the Senate Mill
tary Affairs Committee. against the reso-
luton sponsored by Senator BOrah, Re
publican, OF Idaho, in the last session
which provided for a maximum size of
100000
Borah is preparing to renew his fight
for a material reduction of both the
Army and Navy when their new supply
bills reach the Senate. He entertains the
opinion that an Army of 10000 and a
Navy Of 10000 such as the United States
now possesses is entirely too large and
unnecessary a burden TO impose on the
American taxpayers, and ais highly in
consistent with the supposed objective of
the Armament Conference itself"
Senator King, Democrat, Utah. mem
Der Of the Senate Naval Affairs Commit
tee, entertains the same opinion. He was
one Of the first Senators to advocate the
Necrapping Of capital ships long before
u present conference was called.
King is determined TO obtain early
action on the two resolutions he will
offer in the Senate as soon as il recon
venes, one limiting the Army 10 5000.
as is also expected to be suggested by
he House Appropriations Committee.

Hughes is known to be one Of want

President Hsrding's position is that

caloosa county line by Gordo, Reform.
Carrollton and Aliceville, crossing the
Tombigbee river at Cochrane and con-
tinuing to the Sumter county line. At
first it was the intention of the promo.-
ers to build no farther south than Alice
vile, but after learning that 100000 was
available from the state it was decided
to build to the Sumter line, which was
planned several months ago.
The petitions presented to the commits
sioners court contained more than the
requisite number of voters required for
calling the election and those who cir
culated them stated that they found but
little opposition to the bond issue. With
these facts before them, the commits
sioners will meet again on May % and
pass formal resolutions for the calling
of the election at the very earliest pos
sible date, voting on a s100,000 bond issue
for the construction of the trunk line
and also 100000 to be applied on lateral
roads. The trunk line appropriation will
be covered by a like amount from the
state and the government covers both
state and county.
