the government his hcn,e in London
as 9 permanent American Embassy
building was approved to-day by tho
Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Senator Lodge, chairman Of the COM

measure will pass both houses without
difficulty.
The Morgan home, at 1s and "A
Princes Gate, Hyde Park, where Mr..
Morgan's father and grandfather lived,
was first offered to the government in
May, 1919. When Mr. Morgan got no
reply, he wrote the Secretary of State
eleven months later and asked that
some definite action be taken. Presi-
dent Wilson, when his attention was
called to the proposed gift, transmitted
Mr.. Morgan's letter to Congress last

From The Trsbume's European Bureou


LONDON, Jan, 20.-Vice Admiral
Niblack's speech to-day at the Pill
grims' luncheon given in his honor
tended to impress the British with the
fact that the war altered Anglo-Amer-
ican relations considerably. The speech
was noteworthy because the new com
mander of American naval forces in
Europe, who departs soon for the Med
iterranean region, talked frankly on q
topic of vital interest to every Briton
"The great war has made us look
ahead" ">he said. "But even now, while
American people shrink from entang!e
ments in Europe, they have definitely
made up their minds that they are
going to take their place in the world
as maritime power"
The Admiral prefaced his remarks
with the statement that the cobwebs
and moss covering popular conceptions
Of each other in the two countries must
be removed.
ut is inevitable that Great Britain
and the United States should be rivals
in foreign markets." he continued, "and
future Anglo-American relations must
depend upon the spirit in which both
sides face this competition as a sport
ing proposition"

House to Preserve
Y. S. Army Strength
Appeal by Delegation Aimed
at Resolution to Reduce
Military Force to us, ,OOO;.

From, The Trpume,s Washington Bureau

From The Trtpume's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-A plea that
the potential military strength Of the
country developed during the war at
the expenditure of vast sums of money
be not entirely lost through the gen.
eral drastic economies being planned
by Congress wes made to-day before
the House Committee on Military At
fairs by delegation representing the
American Legion.
While the army reorganization act
was declared by the legionnaires to be
a disappointment to "advocates of 4
suitable military policy" in that no
provision was made for universal train
ing, "they recognized that the legisla-
ton in question provided a more COM
prehensive military policy than we
have had before"
Speaking for the American Legion
H. Hayes, of New York City, the chair
man, pointed out policy of the vet
erans' organization when he said it
recognizes and indorses fully the
necessity for economy" He emphasized,
however, that appropriations and
policy are inextricably tied together" )"
and warned that "the lack of appro-
priations may change policy by actually
killing link in the scheme of the re-
organization act.'
The protest of the American Legion
representatives was aimed at the reso-
lutions adopted by the House and SEN
ate limiting enlistments to ITS 900.
The strength of the army permitted by
the reorganization act is 100000. Con-
gress provided, however, for only l75,-
600 in the appropriation bill. The f1ic-
tion between Secretary Baker and Con-
gress is the result Of the deficit created
by his enlisting about 100000 men.
"The American Legion's sole con-
Germ is to preserve the policy as out
lined in the reorganization act," de-
clared Mr.. Hayes. He was seconded by
Arthur F. Crosby, of New York City.
and DR.. John Markey, of Frederick,
Nd.
Reduction of the army to 175,ooo en-
Listed men will make impossible the
War Department plan of carrying out
the scheme Of providing one complete
division of fighting men in, each Of the
lime army corps contemplated in the
army reorganization act, Secretary Of
War Baker said to-day.
The War Secretary contended that il
would be impossible to fill all the vari-
Gus staff departments and provide the
customary auxiliary troops with an en-
listed personnel limited to 175,oo0
men. He advanced the statement that
after the Porto 'Rican regiment, Philip
pine Scout organizations, coast artil-
lcry, coast defenses, insular possess
sions guard and supply troops Of the
army had been filled the number of
175,00o enlisted men would be reduced
to very small mobile army of actual
