WASHINGTON. Jan. l7.-Congress voted today to limit the regular army tO l7S,O00 enlisted men.
 The senate. q to sS. set aside it's decision of las, week to reduce the army. to lSO.OO and then, without a record vote, adopted the original joint resolution oC Senator New. Republican ot Indiana, directing the secretary of war tO stop recruiting until the army is cut Id l7S.OOO.
 The house 10 minutes later adopted. sSS t0 |, joint resolution, sponsored by Chairman Kahn. oI it's military af fairs committee. also directing the secretary ot war t0 cease enlistments until there are not more than ls5,OO0 enlisted. men. Only Representatives Bee. Texas. BlackmOn. Alabama. aud CoSdy, Maryland, Democrats, and Cramto0. Michigan. Republican. op- posed the reduction.

 . The Senste vote showed that several senators who last week went on rec ord as favoring an army of lS0,000, had changed about, placing their sup port behind the l7S.0O0 figure. Some senators said privately that they be- lieved President Wilson would sign resolution placing the army at l7S.ooO but would not approve smaller mum. her,

BRITISH LABOR AGAIN DEFENDS

LONDON, Jan. IA supplement tary report of the Irish investisstins commission of the Labor party which visited Ireland 7to investigate cOndi- tions. was issued this evening by the Labor party. IL states that the pub licatiOn Of the testimony of one wit ness before the commission resulted in visit to his home by armed men. who. not finding the witness. pro ceeded to damage the furniture.
 The report challenges the accuracy of the governments account or the battle of Tralee." drawing the con cluSiOn that the battle of Tralse iS figment of the imasinaticn~ and alleges that there k conflict be- tween the evidence gathered by the commission and the fanciful highly cOlOred story of the battle presented in the house of commons by the sec retary"
 The document cites what it inti- mates was a case of the faking of a photograph portraying a battle scene 10 support accounts given in the house. The report says the photo graph has hsen suppressed. but it re counts Eow it pictured a wounded ca det and two dead Sian Feiners lying in a road and the cadets taking Sim Fein prisoners in the background
 The report declares that this photo graph appeared in many newspapers and was virtually declared as "a pie ture fnOm the Kerry front" and "an Illustration of the battle of Tralee."
 What We wish emphasized,'' says The report. it that this photograph purports to have been taken in south west Ireland- Attention then is called to a photograph included in the report showing a junction of two roads just outside Dublin. The re- port adds:
 -lt is this scene with the addition of the people referred to abote. which has appeared as a picture of TTalee. There is no such scene in the vicinity of the battle ground We can understand that it's publication would gire an air of verisimilitude co the story of an encounter as describ- ed by Sir Hamar Greenwood
 Truce Talk Ended
 LONDON. Jan. 17.-Since the sus- pension Of the negotiations begun by Father O'Fiannagan there has been a complete cessat ton of unofficial con yersations for an Irish truce. ana il is not likely theS will be renewed for at least two months During this in terval the authorities in Ireland will be permitted tg. tighten up oppressive measures and DsOye ttheir belief that Ireland can thus be restored to order and the extremists confounded
 The government view is that no body entitled to Speak for the Sim Fein has come forward to discuss matters with the government. whose attitude remains unchanged The government declines to discuss peace until the claim for independence and a republic has been withdrawn and the republican army has surrendered it's arms
 Further. the government refuses tC negotiate except on the home rule bill as a basis. On this ground. how ever it is believed generally. it prob ably would be willing to grant com plete fiscal autonomy to southerI Ireland. if peace could be attained thereby.

PRESIDENT MACPHERSON SPEAKS
TO ACADEMY BIBLE CLASS


A very interesting session of the Acad-
envy Bible class was held at the Norwich
Y. NJ. c. a. Friday evening. fter partak-
ing of fine twenty-five cent supper. serv
ed under the direction of Mrs. Robert A.
Smith of the Y auxiliary. the class pres
ident, Raymond Byrnes, announced that
President James c. Macpherson had kind
ly consented to speak to the class.
Mr.. Macpherson expressed his rleas-
ure at being present with so fine class
Of young men, and said in part, Young
men, would give almost anything in the
world If I could be back where YOU are
tonight I wonder if you realize the very
! great opportunity that is yours This
old world has changed greatly from what
| it was when 1 was your age
In the year 1920 the United States
government expended ever ninety-two iper
cent of its budget for past, present and
future wars, and this was all spent for
| destruction; only about eight per cent.
was spent for. constructive purposes. If
| the disarmament conference at Washing
ton accomrlishes It's noble purpose. most
of the money we spend will be spent for
| constructive purposes. and you will share
largely in the benefits that will come
to you that the knowledge you get of the
Bible in this class will mean much to Won
in the years to come; no young man is
fully euipped without q, knowledge or the
Bible. When I was your age I neglected
the opportunity of securing this knowl-
! edg and 1 have regretted it many times
but in the later years 1 have found what
a great value the Bible Is to a man.
To be Christian does not mean that
you must be namby, pamby sort of :
fellow, whom others will think is a cur.
iosity, but to be a Christian means thai
you shall be a red blooded Roosevelt
and your lives will count for somethirs
in theSworld. I never had the many Cd
portunities and privileges that you enjoy
today; 1 came up through the school Of
''hard knocks" and some of the battles !
had to fight were fierce battles, and as
look back over the years, I wish I hae
had the helps that you young men havt
today.
I have lived fully one-half the span o.
my life, while You have hardly lived
third the span of your lives. Your or.
portunities are simply great, and if yo,
hut have the vision to see them and t.
seize them, your lives will count fo
much in the coming days.
After the helpful talk which was warm
ly applauded, the young men divided in
to two groups for Bible study, Henry D
johnson leading one grounp and Boys
Secretary Davis the other.
This class has agreed to give s25 t.
the China work of the local Y. NJ c. A
thus indicating that these young me-
L have~a vision that is making them un
