Washington, July 9.-Some regi- ments may be disbanded rather than skeletonized, and several divis- ions may be merged, Secretary Weeks said yesterday in discussing the method of reducing the enlisted strength of the army from approxi- mately 220,000 to 150,0O0 men, as directed by congress. Tentative plans for the reduction have been drawn by the general staff.
 The plans, however, have not pro- |ceeded to the point where a decision
 has been reached as to what units will be disbanded. The effect oi jsuch move, it is said, would be Iregrettable in that it might affect

Events Significant

General MacReady's presence at the conference has additional signi- ficance because it has been said that the ''militarist party" in Ireland has been strongly opposing peace negotiations and any idea of a truce
 No report of the proceedings of Mr de Valer2's conference with the Southern Unionists has been issued but it is believed that the principal topic discussed was a truce, and that Eamonn Duggan, a Sim Feii member of Parliament, who was re ] leased from Mountioy prison only 6 1 few days ago, acted as Intermediary between the conference and tho Sim Fein leaders.
 l Opinion still inclines to the idea that General Shuts, owing to the 1 important part he has taken in the preliminary negotiations. will be the i first chairman of the London con- l ference. even if MT. Lloyd George | " cSitltS hui iiiS tit i'tSiNi ctotoNc as would be almost inevitable ii constitutional questions were under discussion
 Another matter that was widely discussed yesterday, arising out of the visit of the secretary of war Sir Laming Worthington Evans. to the king Thursday. was the possi- bility that the military evacuation of Ireland is under considerations This has been advocated by many statesmen, including Viscount Grey former secretary for foreign affairs. King Opened Way.
 King George, accompanieG by i Queen Mary, attended the opening of the Ulster Parliament on June 22. The king, in an urgent plea | for peace in Ireland and conciliatior between the people of that country and the empire, urged the Irisl to forgive and forget.
 This was the first impelling force of the present progressive movement Ii was followed few days later bs an invitation from the British prim,
 minister to Eamonn de Valera, tn,
 Irish republican leader, and Si
 James Craig, the Ulster premier, t'

 President Harding will send a message to Congress next week re- garding the bonus bill and tariff and tax legislation Definite ac- tion is expected to follow reading of the message.

Senator McCumber referred to Thursdays visit of President Harding to the capitol, and said that the chief difference of opinion with respect to the legislation seemed to be on he point as to when it should become effective said.

 Despite the pleadings of the sec retary Of the Treasury, despite the earnest plea of the president not to enter into new fields of expendi- lures, this Congress has appropriated millions to go into new enterprises. It appears this Congress seems bent on spending all the money that can be raised by taxation Why then should we expect tidal wave of consternation to sweep the country if we pass a bill that will take $200,- 000,000 two years from now and varying amounts thereafter, and af- ter 30 years no appropriation what ever?"
 Senator McCumber read accounts of the proposed $500, 0,000,0O0 ad- vance to the railroads. and said: No one has been scared by that" Reading over a list of expenditures under several pending measures, such as the Townsend bill and the Norris farm export bill, Senator McCumber asked:
 Why hasn't the secretary of the Treasury looked upon these with concern?"
 ''There is ample opportunity to reduce our expenditures enough to tdht teiN VI uHy oiihudl pdN under this bill," he said.
