HARDING ASKS
MODE E|CATlONS
IN ARMY BILL
Will Probably Sign Measure
And Leave Desired Alter
ations Until Later
OPPOSES BORAH ITEM
Bill Is Discussed Yesterday
By President, Secretary Of
War and Other Officials,

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-Although
President Harding is expected to sign
the army appropriation bill reducing
the standing army to 100000, he prob
ably will call attention of congress
to certain provisions of the measure
which he is understood to consider
will require notifications at the next
session
The measure was discussed today
at a conference of the president. Sec
retary Weeks, Speaker Gillette and
Republican Leader Mondell of the
house, Representative Greene, of Ver-
mont, Republican member of the
house military committee, and Sena-
tor Borah. Republican of Idaho 1t is
understood that provision of the bill
adopted at the suggestion of Senator
Borah and affecting the reduction of
personnel occupied most attention
and that the president explained why
he considered that this provision
might need modification later.
The appropriation measure pro-
vides that the reduction to $50. 900
men must be. accomplished by Octo-
Der first. War department officials
say this will require the discharge
of several thousand men by arbitrary
means. Under the Borah provision
the department is prohibited from ex-
ceeding the actual amount appropri-
ated, stipulation which Secretary
Weeks is understood to feel might
force the government, in its efforts
to reduce the enlisted strength, to
breaks its enlistment contracts with
some of the men to be discharged
Today's conference is understood to
have been called by the president
with the purpose of explaining the
administration's position in this re-
gard
President Harding has only three
days in which to approve the bill If a
lapse of army appropriations at the
beginning of the next fiscal year, July
l. is to be avoided. 1t is understood
that the shortness of time led to his
decision to attach his signature and
allow Objectionable features TO be
Strengthened out later.

Irish republican leader. is not yet

Premier Lloyd Georges letter inviting
him to conference for an Irish set

BRANDS TREATY !
WAR ALLIANCE

PEKING. China, June 2S.-Dr. c..
r. Wang, one of China's delegates to
the peace conference, commenting on
the proposed renewal of the Anglo
Japanese alliance, said TO The Asso-
ciated Press that talk of making an
alliance acceptable to Britain. Amer
lea, Japan and Australia with no men,
tion of China, sounds as though the
alliance was regarded as of no inter
est TO China. If Mr.. Hughes (the
Australian premier) and others are
purposely leaving China out of con-
tion is that they are interested only
IN fighting units and that they do not
sideration, the only possible deduc-
consider China SUCH.
In other words, instead OF the al
lance promoting peace, it is based on
a consideration OF war, and it Nends
TO produce trouble. The procedure
suggests that it is not the justice and
right of a nations cause and its poll
cies, but rather its fighting strength
that gainst it's consideration.

COLORADO RIVER
TOPS ITS BANKS
Levees Still Holding Below
Border; Safety Crews Are
Trying To Stop Break

SANTU, Calf, June 2S.-The Col
orado river has topped the Volcano
Lake levee at three points above the
Tortuoso waste at the eastern end of
the levee late today, but the levee
was still holding. according to word
received here. The Volcano lake lie.
wee is the last bulwark between the
flood waters of the Colorado river,
now believed to have passed their
peak, and the cotton lands of the low
er Imperial valley.
General Manager F. n. Cronholm,
talking from the levee today, said
there was almost no free board for
stretches of 100 yards or more at
many points, and at one point, where
q break threatened last night. the
water was held back by sand bags.
The Southern Pacific railroad com
pany, whose Lower California line
would be endangered if the levee
rave way, came to the rescue late
yesterday and put men and material
en- the job to work with the irrigation
district forces in an effort to prevent
further damage
All of the settlers between the Vol.
cano lake levee and the head of New
river have been moved out and have
taken most of their movable property
and livestock with them. For this
reason loss of life in the event of a
break is not anticipated.
The Saize levee, which lies between
the Ockerson and the Volcano, is sub
merged Engineers said it was prob
ably so weakened by saturation and
pressure as to be valueless for de-
fense The Ockerson levee was re.
ported to be safe.
