HUGHES YET HOPEFUL
OF new Negotiations
Great Britain and England
Have Not Definitely
Rejected Offer.

Washington, April 29.-President
Harding and his cabinet are under
stood to have discussed the German
reparations proposals again today, Sec
retary Hughes laying before them the
views of the principal allied powers
with regard to the offer. Meantime
the American reply to the German
communication was held up.
While the cabinet was conside ring the
question 1t became known that Great
Britain and Italy had not definitely re-
jected the German offer as unacceptabie
as a basis for negotiations. 1t was un-
derstood, however, that the French and
Belgian views as transmitted to Mr..
Hughes were that the terms were un-
acceptable
According to information in well in
formed quarters Secretary Hughes is
still hopeful that negotiations between
the allies and Germany can be re-
opened. 1t is said that even if a final
decision is not reached before the
French begin to move into additional
German territory the exchanges can
continue after that time.

CHAIRMAN KAHN WILL ASK TO HAVE

Declares He isNot An Aarmst and Does Not Fear War;
But Bases His Argument On Unsettled Conditions of
World and Desires to Be Prepared

washington April 29.-Chairman
Kahn of the military affairs COM
mittee told the house today that an
enlisted force of 10000 men, as
fixed by the army appropriation bill,
was too small and that at the proper
time he would offer an amendment
increasing the number to 175,OOO.
.. Il am not an alarmist. I am not
afraid of war, but we all know that
woru. conditions are unsettled" he
declared. And in the interest of
true. economy. in the interest of
the welfare of the country shall
appeal to the membership of this
house to support such an amend
ment."
Citing the fact that Japan and
China both had much larger armies
than this country. the California rep
resentatiye said that in proportion to
population only Colombia and Para
quay had smaller armies than the

United States Thousands of our
fellow citizens believe" said Mr..
Kahn that this country by its
action in the way of reducing its
army can bring about international
disarmament without any difficulty.
Some months have elapsed since we
reduced our forces. i have seen no
Indication anywhere that any other
nation in the world is making efforts
to follow our footsteps. Therefore
i consider it the part of wisdom at
least for the present to maintain a
force the minimum of which will be
175,0O0 enlisted men,"
The war department is strongly
opposed to the adoption by the house
of the Flood resolution asking why
Brigadier General Omar Bundy was
not recommended for promotion by
President Harding. Secreary Weeks
says in a letter to Chairman Kahn of
the military committee laid before the
house today.

Unemployment, Though Seri-
out Has Brought No
Great Hardships.

Conditions of poverty about the
city have been greatly exaggerated.
as far as the charity departm can
ascertain, inquiries at the office Of
the board of charities in City hall
show.
: AS far as the investigators working
for and with that department have
been able to learn, there has not vet
been single case of actual suffer-
Ing or hunger brought to light.
1t is cheerfully admitted, however,
that this does not necessarily. mean
that there is no hunger. or suffering
since it is believed that pride has
kept some of the most worthy of the
needy from appealing for aid.
Thus far, the charity department
has found it possible to cope with
the situation without asking for >as-
sistance from the welfare workers
who have offered to work as inspec-
tors. Occasionally cases are reported
through these, sources as in normal
times.
A number of the other Connecticut
cities have had appeals from their
Spanish populations to such an ex-
tent that they were required to COM
municate with the state department
relative to reimbursements.
The state department has advised
that the city will be repaid for what
ever money is expended in this man.

The list of unemployed Spaniards
