CONSOLIDATE WAR
AND NAVY DEPT5.
HARDING DESCRIBED AS BEING
uNQUALIFIEDLY BEHIND
THE PROJECT.
WEEKS WOULD BE AT HEAD
Department Would Be That Of INA
tlonaI Defensen-congresslonal
Committee Reported to Have
Agreed on the Merger.

Neutrality-suspicious. agreement has
been reached among the members Of
the congressional joint committee on
reorganization, but now, according to
authoritative information it is to be
an important feature of the. omnibus
reorganization bill that is in course
OF preparation for introduction in Con-
gress before the end of the present
session.
President Harding is described as
being unQualifiedly behind the project
ready to throw all administration
strength toward it's adoption by con-
gress. This will be needed, it is APP
parent, even at this early date, for
such a consolidation can only be &C.
complished after a vigorous fight.
Those most familiar with the situation,
however, declare that the senate and
house in the end will approve such a
combination.
If the plans go through, John W..
Weeks, secretary Of war, Is slated, &C.
cording to the information, to be the
head Of the new department Of ma
tional defense. Some other impor'
tant post, then, would be offered to
Edwin r. DENLY, secretary Of the navy.
BY the consolidation Of the two de-
partInents into one the committee
hopes to accomplish a saving Of not
less than $150,0O0,000 year, to come
about through a joint administration
OF the services, the common purchase
and distribution of supplies and the
standardization OF small arms and 9TH
or material. This is quite independ-
emit Of the additional saving, variously
estimated around 100000 a year, for
which the committee has been hoping,
Other reductions, such as the reduc-
ton of department personnel and the
prevention Of much of the duplication
of effort, are now evident in the diff
ferent bureaus.
Just what is to be done about the
air service Of the army and navy is
not clear, but the general understand
ing is the independent bureau of aero
nautics is to be proposed. 1t is mat
ter of doubt whether this independent
bureau would have a standing in par
with the army and navy, at least at
this time, when aeronautics has not
obtained a status higher than branch
arms of both services.

Know Little Of Their City.

Many OF the lifelong residents OF
New York city know little Of the city's
rapidly expanding transportation sys-
tenn, says the New York Sun. They
are acquainted with those minor sec
tons they use daily. but If they have
occasion to travel to unaccustomed
quarters they are as puzzled as the
stranger. 1t is usually the newcomer,
the resident OF few months or years,
who even pretends to know the sub
ways or the streets Of any consider
able section Of the town.

REDS BARRED FROM FRANCE
Notorious Johann Frenckel, Recently
Captured lie Escorted To tho Span
Ish Frontier.

Paris.-One by one the French Su
rete Generate is Kidding the capital Of
dangerous communist elements, espe
cially the communists who were sent
here from Prague, Berlin and Rome
under Lenine's instructions. On theiI
arrival the majority Of these trouble
breeders are given jobs on communist
newspapers. When their days work il
finished they lecture in the cheap halls
frequented by reds.
Naturally police spies are always
present at such meetings, and wher
evidence is obtained that will warrant
arrest on charge of plotting against
the welfare of the state the heavy
hand OF the law falls upon Moscow'i
ENJOYS. The latest Of these to be
caught in the police net is Johann
Frenckel, well known in Central Eu
rope as dangerous agitator. Frenck
els guilt as plotter was not proved
as he was given a substantial coat Of
whitewash by his red brethren, but he
failed to explain how he had entered
France without passport. Therefore
he was escorted to the Spanish from
tier by four husky detectives and told
that his presence in France was not
desirable. Frenckel alternately wept
and cursed the French bourgeoise, Of
which he said Lenine would some day
be the master. Although e Bohemian
by birth, FTenckel refused ticket
taking him there, as his many encoun-
tiers with the police still leave him
with several charges to face. The
Spanish communist colony is thriving,
however, more than 40 agltators ex'
pulsed from France having selected
Spain as the scene for new efforts,

France Likes KIpIlnC.

Although Rudyard Kipllng is not
without honor In his own country, 1t
is fact that some young lions there
affect to sneer at him, remarks the
London Post. Like the Athenlans,
they want something new.
But In France he is at the height OF
his fame. Some fourteen volumes OF
translations Of his works have been
published by the Mercure de France.
A distinguished academician, NJ. Andre
Chevrlllan, has constituted himself his
chief interpreter Now a student In
Paris, preparing for the Baccalaureate,
writes that he Is one Of the authors

tional honor for a contemporary.

resented by officials of state farm

a strict adherence in our policy as
a cooperative company to follow
the wishes of the farmers who are
or who will become members" they
said.
Revival of the war finance cor
poration with an agricultural flnan-
cial amendment has made immedi-
ate action on the farmers fnann-
cial plans unnecessary and will
give time for a more thorough con-
sideration of such plans and formal
expression of the membership.
