HOUSE ID FIGHT ANY EFF FORT ID
 INCREASE ARMY
Chairman Anthony Certain Number Of Men Will Be
 Reduced After March t

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Taking up the S32S,00O,0O0 army appropriation bill. the house in its debate today showed it was ready to fight any at tempt to put the. enlisted personnel above l50,0OO provided in the measure. Chairman Anthony, of the appropria- tions subcommittee, declared that in reducing the amount provided for the army's maintenance, it had responded to public demand and effort 10 end waste and extravaganza that had characterized the military establish ment for the last few years
 The chairman was interrupted by a yOlley of questions, indicating strong support for an army of 150,O00 and approximately 14.0OO commissioned officers.
 Anthony insisted this number would be sufficient, that the national guard would become an invaluable adjunct if given the support and sympathy of the war department, and that there would be no difficulty in bringing down the present total by July l. After March 4, l can guarantee that the army will be reduced" he said.
 In fixing the maximum. he declared it had been agreed upon after careful study Of the country's actual needs, adding that the United States was bet ter prepared than any other nation to ! fight as it had ammunition on hand that il could not use in 70 years. Discussing civilian employees, the chairman said:
 If this bill passed, the war depart ment will be called on to perform a surgical operation that win rid it of 10000 civilian empoyes." t The total cost of the military eS- tablishment this year was S4S4, ,OO0,0 ,00O he said, while for the next fiscal year the department had asked for S6S2,- | OUO, 900.
 Representative Sisson of Mississip- ! pi, ranking Democrat on the sub-com' mittee. declared that in adopting a resolution directing the secretary of war not to recruit beyond 175.000 congress was not prevented from in sisting on less figure. He said there were too many civilian employees.

though he had introduced it by request he was heartily supporting it and he believed that in the onward march of Arizona, in which saloons and gambl- ing had been wiped out, the time had come to adopt law to prevent desc cration of the Sabbath. Representative Milner spoke in like vein.
 Representative F. F. A. Kimhau. Pima, speaking for the opposition. said he favored Sabbath observance but that assertions of the other side that this was rest measure and not a religious observance bill was incon- sistent in view Of the fact that those whose religion bade them. observe some other day than Sunday would be allowed, under the bill. to rest on that other day. He moved indefinite postponement of the bill. The com mittee appeared ready and eager to act but Chairman Udall reminded the committee that three men had been granted the privilege of the floor. Representative kimball then stated he would withhold his motion.
 Representative O. D. Betts then de livered the first set speech of the aft ernoon. He said even if the bin was a religious measure it was worthy ot support. If il prohibited motion pie ture shows on the Sabbath that would not be calamitous.
 After brief remarks by Represent ative Wylie and Representative Burke the former against and the latter for the bill, Rev. Gordon Mead. of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. spoke in opposition to the bill. He declared the bill was religious measure anS that the provision that another day than Sunday might be observed was but mask to camouflage it's true character.
 At the close of Rev. Mead's remarks the motion to table the bill was re. newed and so decisive was the viva voce vote that diviSloa was not asked for.
 House bill No. 57, the anti-dancing bill, was then taken up for considera- ton. Representative BeJts spoke in favor of the measure, .stating that notwithstanding the Sareguards which might be thrown about dancing in the public schools. 1t nevertoe4eSs furnish, ed recruits for public dance halls. He was opposed by Representative NhO SNAu hCN htCn ltA>SO Christian. believed he had led a Christian life, and had danced from the time he was old enough until he became too old. He sad he would es- pecially oppose bill which would tend to deprive rural communities ot much needed entertainment. Repro. sentatiyes Ellsworth and Curlee spoke along the same line.
 Chief support of the bin was given in a speech by Rev. Connor of Safford who had had part in the framing of the measure. He said he spoke from lone experience as a teacher a preacher and as one who had danced from South Carolina to hell" By the latter terminus, the speaker said he referred to the Barbary Coast of San Francisco. where he was converted.
 The motion to table the bill was carried viva voce.

PHOENIX. Feb. 1.-The lower house of the Arizona legislature late today overwhelmingly defeated both the compulsory day of rest bill and the bill prohibiting dancing in the pub- lie schools. The vote came after the house, in committee of the whole, had spent most Of the afternoon in debate.
 A dozen members spoke spiritedly on one side or the other. but the chief speeches were made by outsiders to whom the privilege of the floor had
 been granted. The house gallery was crowded with partisans for or against what were termed the blue laws"
 When house bill No. 5S, the day ol rest bill, was reached about D. m., Representative Burke moved that consideration be postponed until next Saturday. The motion was voted down
 A little later motion to delay the hearing until the arrival of Represent- ative J. c. Phillips. Maricopa, who. it was said, desired to speak on it. was also voted down. The reading of the bill was begun. There were two reports from the Judiciary com mittee the majority report urging passage of the bill and the minority report, signed by Chairman Gale, rec ommending its defeat. Debate was begun by Representative Frazier, in- troducer of the bill. who said that al-

WASHINGTON. eFb. I.-Settlement of diplomatic problems with Japan. especially as arising from the enact ment by California of anti-alien land ownership legislation. will be post poned until the Harding administra- tion assumes office. it was indicated today by state department officials.
 While no formal announcement was made. it was intimated by officials that because of the short time left to the present administration and the long standing character of the prob lens now in process of solution be tween the two governments. it would be the part of wisdom not to hasten unduly their final adjustment merely to conclude a treaty under this ad- miniStration.
 Both Secretary of State Colby and Under Secretary Davis during the last few days have been engaged in studying Ambassador Morris report but they have not as yet reached the pOint of taking up the question with President Wilson.
