men, It was not answered on the floor
 General Pershing, questioned by the military committee of the Senate, made the following statement: "rhe army should not be reduced below 100000 We are getting on dangerous ground if we undertake to do too much at this time with the affairs of the world as they appear to be now. I am con vinced that world conditions do not warrant us in making radical reduc- ton"
 But he did not specify; neither did Secretary Baker, who insisted that the strength of the army be maintained at O,000.
 CHANGE OF WADSWORTH
 A few days prior, the chairman Of the military committee was so thor oughly imbued with the necessity for reduction. In that the burden of taxa ton might be alleviated that he want ed to displace the air nitrate corpora tion bill in order that the Senate might proceed to reduce. When action was ultimately taken, the Senate reduced the army to 15O.O00 men. And then the chairman returned to the Senate with
 the plea that the Senate reverse itself and establish the strength of the army at 175,00O.
 Senator Wadsworth of New York,
 the chairman, gave no concrete req
 son. He did not name England,
 France, or Japan as prospective enc
 mics of the United States. He did
 not speak of internal conditions, ma tional unrest or danger of boring from within" It is true that Senator Phelan of California. who has oevel- oped into a "sectionist" rather than
 "unionist," pictured war, and named Japan. But as result of the sharp and rather personal ridicule of Senator iov,, 1FN tIa ta xuaS < not obviously frightened by the cita- tion of the yellow peril" WHAT WILLIAMS HEARD In the course of a very notable ef- fort Senator Williams suggested one reason for the desire on the part of the majority for an army as large as 175,O0O men.
 T heard this morning one reason,'' he said Ut was given me by very frank, intelligent and brave man. I l asked What do you want with all | these troops? He replied ITO keep down the lawless element in the United l States Not to meet foreign aggres- sion, but to overcome internal discord some yet unborn but anticipated American bolshevism'
 1 MT. President, let me say this; l Whenever the American people with their magnificent middle class, their tuuCdleu AHeuJ icdNii lile pOlHl NhOiS | the only thing that can Keep down disorder is an army, their order--and their liberty--have already disap-
 peared.'
 TO STOP ENLISTING l Nevertheless, the Senate proceeded | to reverse itself, and provide for an army of 175,0o0 men. The House. on | the same day, took similar action. The i House had previously appropriated for
 an army of 175,000 men. Otherwise,
 the Senate, in reversing itself, would ! have made the number 100000 in ac- cordance with the wishes of General Pershing.
 The chiefs of the army will i'm .
 mediately proceed to put an end to en- 1 listment throughout the United States, | and gradually to rid the army of the
