PERSH|NG OPPOSES
ARMY REDUCTION
Senate Disregards His Advice
and Votes to Cut Force to
10000.
Ry Associated Press to Every Evening.

Ry Associated Press to Every Evening.
Washington, Jan. 15.-Over the protest
of the majority of its Military affairs
Committee, the Senate yesterday passed
= resolution directing the Secretary OF
War 10 cease army recruiting until the
size of the regular army is cut to 10000
men.
Senator Phelan Democrat, California,
after the adjournment OF the Senate,
notified Nice-Prcsidcnt Marshall that he
would ask the Senate tomorrow for a
reconsideration of the vote on the ground
that the Senate had not been fully in
formed concerning the objections of
General Pershing and Secretary of War
Baker 10 the reduction
Should Senator Phelan fail IN his en-
desvor to bring about reconsideration
the resolution will go TO the House.
Chairman Wadsworth, of the Military
Affairs Committee did not ask for n roll
call on the resolution because the Senate
q few minutes before, by n decisive vote
of "a 10 rs, adopted a motion of Senator
Lenrpot fixing the army's maximum limit
At $50 900 thereby rejecting the commit
tees prnspoal to make the figure | 1000
This vote was taken, although General
Preshing and Secretary of War Baker,
NJ an executive session with the Military
Affairs Committee Just before the con-
vening of the Senate, objected 10 any
serious cut In the size of the army. Cen
eral Pershing suggested 200, 1000 rs the
minimum limit.
Senator New, Republican, Indiana,
member of the Military Affairs Commit
tee, who introduced the original neduc-
ton resolution, declared that he did not
consider the 10000 limit either expe-
dent or safe" while Chairman Wads-
worth expressed opposition Ito what is
= very drastic reduction of our military
establishments"
Senator Dial, Democrat, South Caro-
hns, asked If the number of officers was
affected, and the chairman responded
that the only way 10 discharge officers
Is by death, or court martial for dis
honorable conduct or bad debts
Several amendments regulating the
application of the reduction were adopt
ed the most important of which would
require the War Department to main
tain all services on an equal basis, equiv
alent 10 53l5 per cent OF the total strength
in each branch contemplated by existing
Amy reorganization statutes. Another
would authorize the discharge of any
enlisted man upon his application If ap-
proved by the Secretary Of War Commit
tee estimates wore gwen the Senate that
the present sise Of the army, about 2lS.-
600 mon. would be reduced under the
rs~olution hy enlistment expiration TO
isNoo0 hy next December.
