PLANS MADE FOR SMALL ARMY

Washington, Jan. 27.-Provision
has been made in the annual army
appropriation bill for an army of only
100000 at the suggestion of Presi-
dent-elect Harding, Representative
Anthony of Kansas, chairman of the
house appropriations subcommittee
which drafted the measure, said to-
night in announcing that the bill was
ready to be reported to the house.
The proposed army of 100000
which compares with the present ar
MY of about $4,000 men, and with
the army of 175,oo0 men fixed in a
resolution recently adopted by the
house and senate was suggested by
Mr.. Harding as proper maximum,
Chairman Anthony said, at the re-
cent conference which he held with
the president-elect at Marion. Mr..
Harding, according to Mr.. Anthony
expressed the belief that an army of
100000 men together with the re-
serves, National Guard and other
available forces should provide suffi-
cient military establishment for the
nation in time of peace.

MISTAKE TO STOP
WORK ON CRUISERS

Washington, Jan. 27.-It would
be a Fatal Mistake" to stop work
for six months on the six great bat
tie cruisers under construction for
the American navy, Secretary
Daniels said today in discussing
Senator Borah's resolution, adopted
yesterday by the senate naval COM
mittee whether it would be feasible
and advisable to stop naval building
for that length of time.
Work on these ships was held up
last Gear by Secretary Daniels until
he and technicalN experts of the
navy could visit Europe to confer
with admiralty officials there as to
what type of capital ships would
best serve naval needs in the fu-
ture.
The naval secretary deprecated
any suggestion that capital ships be
bandoned in favor of submarine and
aircraft, declaring that it was neces-
sary for the first line defense to be
a well rounded machine of battle
ships, battle cruisers, destroyers,
submarines, aircraft and other types
Mr.. Daniels added that another year
would show the trend of world ma
vies as to any new types of ships
and that meantime the United
States should go ahead with the bat
tie cruisers.

AMONG NATIONS IN
GENERAL LEARNING
House Committee Recommends Pas
sage of Bill Creating Federal
Educationl Department-ll-
literacy is National
Problem.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The United
States was declared to rank ninth
among the nations of the world in
the general educational level of its
people in report of the House Com
mittee on education made public to-
day, recommending passage of the
Smith -Towner bill to establish a fed
eral department to education with
federal aid in increasing educational
facilities. The country is trailing be-
hind "most of the civilized world D.
the report said, from the standpoint
of it's educational advantages. The
proposed measure offers the only
means, the report declared, of cor
recting the present inequality of ed
ucational opportunities among the
various communities and preventing
waste of public funds and inefficien-
cy due to lack of coordination among
federal agencies dealing with educa-
ton.
Illiteracy is a national and not
sectional problem, the report said, in
citing statistics TO show it was al
most equally prevalent in every Sec
tion of the country.
"ThereIis nothing of more import
ance in our scheme of government
than the education of the people," it
continued. ".Whatever else may be
left out, education cannot safely be
excluded. If there is one thing that
justifes a tax on the country it is
that which strengthens and supports
our public schools"

WAGE REDUCTIONS
ON RAILROADS
TO BE DISCUSSED

Chicago, Jan. 27.-Members of
the labor committee Of the Ameri-
can Association of Railway Execu-
tives today on their way to Chicago
for a meeting here Friday to discuss
with the United States Railway La
Dor Board the possibility of wage

vania railroad: E.. E. Loomis, of the
Lehigh Valley and M. L. Bell, of the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
are among those expected to attend.
The railroad executives. it is said,
are ready to submit to the railway
wage board their figures to show
that at the present railroad rates
the properties are not earning six
per cent guaranteed by the trans
portation act; that the rates now
are as high as the business can be
expected to bear, that forces have
been cut to the minimum consistent
with safe operation and that a re-
duction in wages is the only remain
irg place for a reduction in ex-
penses.
A decision by the board is expect
ed Friday on the case of the Allan
ia, Birmingham and Atlantic rail-
road, which posted notices of wage
reductions. Representatives of the
railroad brotherheods brought the
wage reduction notices to the atten-
ton of the railroad labor board, ask
ing that the board order the rail-
road to rescind them. President E.
L. Bugg, of the railroad, declared
that under present operating ex-
penses, the road was losing $780,
900 a month.

3,473,466 ARE UNEMPLOYED
This Exceeds by Million and Half
Previous Report of Labor De-
partment-Some Believe
E G A. ILL.,

Even More Are Idle
Washington, Jan. 27.-Exceeding
by million and a half previous esti-
mates of the number of unemployed
by industrial and other leaders, fig
ures based on a first nationwide
survey just completed by the Depart
ment of Labor's employment service
chow that at the beginning of the
year the number of persons employ
ed in industry in this country was
3,473,466 less than year ago.
While, in announcing this figure,
Director John b. Densmore pointed
out that it did not take into account
workers who may have found en-
ployment in agricultural and other
pursuits not covered by the survey
and therefore could not be taken as
representing the exact number of
unemployed, other officials said they
believed the army of unemployed
might be larger even than the total
given. This was possible they said
because the survey covered only those
pursuits classed under the head of
mechanical industry" and no effort
was made to ascertain the reduction
in the number of persons employed
in other vocaticns.

cred majority favorable and min

thirty days. The maker has five
days in which to make his paper good
The bill went on the calendar.

tions rendered an unfavorable report

of pool or, billiard rooms in the State.
The bill was placed on the calendar
for consideration.
The bill by Mr.. Buckingham pro-
hbiting State and county officers
from exceeding the appropriations or
using money from one fund for any
other purpose received a favorable
report from the ways and means |
committee. \
Only three other bills on the cal
endar were passed.
Representative Anderson and At
hnson today introduced a bill in the I
House prohibiting the trapping of !!
animals in this State.
A bill placing all ex-soldiers par
scipating in the world war and who

Duty To United States

national duty. We subscribe to the
creed of world brotherhood, but we
recognize that we can serve the
world best by serving America first.
"Steady progress Is being made
toward industrial revival and soon
the old struggle of international
competition will again confront US.
In fact, it has already begun. The
problem with which we are con-
fronted and to the solution of which
the Southern Tariff congress can
materially contribute is to prevent
industrial isolation on the one hand
and industrial submergence on the
other.

which they sought was not merel!
