Will Decrease Number of Off
GERS; Amendment Meets
With Failure

Washington. Feb. 5.-A definite
step toward the reduction of the
regular army to 100000 men was
taken when the house approved an
appropriation sufficient only for the
maintenance of a force of that size
during the fiscal year beginning Ju-
ly 1.
The action was taken after at
tempts failed to amend the army
appropriation bill to provide 175,-
600 men enlisted and a decrease Of
the number of officers from $4,000
approximately 5000.
The net result of a dozen efforts
to get amendments to the section
appropriating funds to pay enlisted
men only one was a successful
amendment authorizing honorable
discharge from the army of youths
under eighteen on application Of
themselves or parents.
Among the efforts to get amend
ments was one to reduce the com-
missiond officers. Chairman Kahn,
OF the military committee, said the
experience OF the Country in the
World war ought 10 be a lesson for
all times, l believe in economy, but
at times a penny wise is a pound
foolish"
Connally Democrat, Texas, crit
icized the tactics of Kahn, Mondell
and other Republicans who voted
for the 100000 army reorganiza-
tion bill changing their position,
charging it was response to the
shifting sentiment among the
public"

position with fiattering promises
for promotion. hut he voluntarily
resigned to complete his education.
Mr.. Arthur Iler, of Beaver Dam,
Is holding very responsible posi-
tion with a large shoe firm which
operates chain of stores. AS an
evidence that he is making good,
the firm. has given him charge Of
one Of the branches, position not
heretofore held by minor. Arthur
is only 20 years of age.
We regret to note that Victor
Matthews. who has been in i'll
health for some time, will be COM
pelled to undergo an operation for
inward goiter. He is now at Gar
field Hospital IN this city where he
is receiving the necessary preliman-
ary treatment for the operation to
which he will submit in few days.
Mr.. Matthews will be remembered
as the son of the late Heber Mat
thews who was so long and promin-
emily connected with the Hartford
Herald.
Those who are so energetically
engaged trying to find fault with
everything that happened under the
WILSON administration. would do
we'll to read the testimony of Gen.
Chas. G. Dawes before the investi-
eating committee of Congress. Ge n.
Dawes is a Republican and lis the
most spoken of as Secretary Of the
Treasury in the Harding Cabinet.
He vigorously defended the A. E.
F. with which he was connected,
being brigadier general and Perish
ing's chief purchasing agent. Among
other things, he said: Everything
considered. l don't think a single,
solitary dollar was wasted in
France. The business of an army
is to win war, not to bubble
around with lot of cheap buying.
With all due respect to your com
mittee, / want to tell you that you
can't put one fly speck on the Amer
lean Army" Continuing Gen.
Dawes said: LET me criticise your
awhile. This is an at
tempt to bring partisan politics in
to a purely American enterprise.
We went to France to win a war
and we did it," So all the way
his testimony he raped
the committee and "pinhead politi-
clans" for trying to make political
capital out of petty mistakes when
so much depended on quick action
by the A. E. F. OF course the Re-
publican politicians do not like the
testimony for it takes all the teeth
,ut of the political thunder they
iesire to turn loose during the next
'our years. ~
