A number of leading Republican
Senators indicated their approval of
the plan they understand the Navy

would transfer to the Pacific most OF
the seasonal maneuvers and other &C
tivities of the American fighting
fleets which are now associated with

SENATE MAY RAISE
ARMY TO $4,000
Wishes Of Secretary Weeks Ex.
pected to Prevail When
Bill Is Reported.

Provisions for increasing the au-
tnorized enlisted strength OF the
United States Army from 10000 to
II IS 900 men, in accordance with rec
ommendatio OF Secretary of War
Weeks, will probably be the most inn
portant amendment apparent In the
army appropriation bill when II IN re-
ported to the Senate early this week
by the Senate Committee on Military
Affairs.
The measure will be reported to the
Senate with only slight changes In
addition to the probable authorization
Of an increase in the size of the army.
and 1t Is likely that 1t will be jammed
through Immediately after the navy
appropriation bill 10 passed.
The army now has an enlisted
strength of Approximately 100000
men, and IL has been estimated By
Secretary Weeks that the War De-
partment could save money IL the
average size of the military establish
ment was fxed at $4,000 men, with
minimum of 176.0O0. rather than IL 1t
was reduced to 10000 with q re-
CURED minimum of 10000.
This condition arises, he has ex-
planned to the Military Affairs Com
mittee of the Senate, because the cost
OF discharging and re-enlisting men
under the provisions of the bill a.
passed by the House would be greater
than the expense of reducing only to
a strength Of $4,000.
In appealing to the Military Affairs
Committee for a bigger army. Secre-
tary Weeks also declared that the
War Department was willing to in
troduce economies in other directions
" the enlisted strength of the army
could be maintained at IS5, 900.

While the President referred 1t to
Secretary of Labor Davis for rec

bill Is considered a certainty.
TT Ii true as charged by some
Democratic leaders that the Presi-

possible is little.
An engineer, chemist, electri-

There should be wide, scattered,

Mary McEvilly Helwig, who says u
higher intelligence" guided her in
the automatic writing Of the book
which records the messages, has been
Mrs. Harding's guest at the White
House. Discussing the book with Mrs.
Helwig and the manner in which the
messages were received. the First
Lady Of the Land" is said to have
evinced a lively curiosity on the sub
jet of the occult.
SPIRIT PERFUME, LATEST.
Psychic perfume" is the latest
according to Mrs Helwig. who is the
wife of Capt. A. J. Helwig. an Ameri-
can engineer living in Paris. and who
Is a singer well known in the artistic
circles of the French capital.
This spirit scent" has a fragrance
that Is 'indescribably lovely and
haunting" Mrs. Helwig says. She has
demonstrated 1t, she said last night.
in the presence OF Prof. Daniel Com
stock, of Boston. and other noted
scientists.
The messages recorded in Mrs.
Helwig's book, which have stirred
Mrs. Harding. are declared by au-
thorities on psychical research to be
the first attempt from the "other
world" to teach women how to make
use of their undeveloped powers.
According to Walter Franklin Prince,
acting director Of the American
Society for Psychicai Research, they
are among the most remarkable of
the reputed communications from the
'life beyond"
HINDOO's SPIRIT GUIDES.
'Meslom" is the name OF tn.
master spirit" who, according to
Mrs. Helwig, guided her hand in
writing the book In his earthly
existence "Meslom," Mrs. Helwig save,
was a Hindoo ssvant who lived in
the fifteenth century.
According to "Meslom," there is no
sex in the spirit world"
IL Is obvious "Meslom" does not
agree with the aims OF Alice Paul
and other feminists, for he says in
one message:
Because OF the broadening edu-
cation OF the day and the necessity
OF taking her place In the economic
life of the world woman has been
debssed.
