CUT IN MILITARY
FORCES DEMANDED
Borah Would Save Millions
by SIashing Into Army
and. Navy.

Vigorous slashing of the expendi-
lures for the Army and Navy were
urged by Senator Borah of Idaho
republican. as the only means OF ma
terially reducing expenses OF the gov
ernment during the present fiscal year
and making it unnecessary to increase
taxation. He took as his text 1or
speech in the Senate yesterday the
ing that expenditures must De re-
duced at least $250.000.000 this year
If the taxes are not to be raised.
The Idaho senator introduced a
resolution authorizing and directing
the Secretary of War to accept ap-
plication for discharge from the Army
until the Army has been reduced to
100000 men. instead of the 100000 men
provided for in the appropriation law
recently passed.
Saving Estimated.
In addressing the Senate! Senator
Borah said that to reduce the Army
to 100000 men would save the gov
ernment between $50,000,0oO and
$7o.0o0.00o.
tleship construction be suspended until
revised designs can be prepared in the
light Of the recent bombing tests of
the Virginia capes. saving thereby
$4,000, 900.
He urged. too. that the American
troops be withdrawn from Germany
now costing about '$1.ooo.ooo to main
He proposed that the number OF
officers of the Army be cut to abou,
one-haf. thereby saving another
s25.0O0,000. and that still more Off
cials and clerks of the civil govern
ment be eliminated.
Sees Nh Other Hop>
There are no places where we can
cut expenses to any appreciable ex-
tent. except the Army and Navy
said Senator Borah. IF we are no,
willing to do that, We might just
do very we'll if we hold expenditures
and taxes where they now are ant
that there is no hope for reduction OF
taxes"
Applications for discharges from
the Army before Secretary Weeks
revoked the order permitting volun-
tary discharges, Senator Borah said
we're sufficient to reduce the Army
to 100000 men.
Senator Nelson. republican, Mime
sofa, urged reduction also in super
numerary officers. and Senator Borah
agreed that 1t was "Iudicrous" to
have $4,000 officers for the present
Army. There are nearly 1000 oficers
in Washington alone, Senator Borah
said. who added that $25. 200, 900 more
might be saved by reducing the Of
dcer personnel.
If we maintain this Army at 15o,-
600 men and $4,000 officers I venture
the prediction that we (the republi-
canS) Will have smaller membership

Mr. Rorah- declaring the people were

TWO MORE SHIPS BUILT

Shipping Board.

SHANGHAI, August 5-work Of in

ers Oriental and Cathay is proceeding
rapidly and it is believed that before
the summer is over these two ships,
which are the last of four built in
Shanghai for the United States Ship
ping Board, will be delivered at San
Francisco. The first two Of the four
vessels are the Mandarin and Celes-
tial, which have been completed.
The building of the four vessels:
all sister ships of 10,500 tons, is a
distinct achievement for Chinese
builders and marks a noteworthy ad-
vance in the industry of shipbuilding
in this country, for they are the larg-
est boats ever built in China. Reports
of shipping men to representatives of
the American Shipping Board at
Shanghai are that the Mandarin.
which was delivered some time ago
in San Francisco, was held to be one
of the best ships of the many con-
structed for the Shipping Board. It
is the belief of officers of the Kiang-
nan Dock and Engineering Company,
builders of the four vessels, that all
four will live up to the standard set
by the Mandarin.

French Plan Would Account
for Germany's Population
Advantage.

PARIS, France. August S. - In
French military and political circles
there is an expansion of the idea of
reorganizing the entire French army
on the basis of much larger utiliza-
tion of the colored troops from the
various French colonies than hereto
fore. The present head of the
French general staff has a project to
make every division in the army con-
slst of two regiments of white troops
and one of colored troops, even in
time of peace.
Realization of this idea, according
to its promoters, would have the dou-
tion in the length of the period of
military service in France and of
compensating France for it's smaller
population as compared with Ger
many. considering European France
alone. the nation has barely 100000
o0S people to oppose Germany's So
Ooo,O00. but if the French colonial en-
pre- were included then France would
have 90.000.00O
Must Have Bigger Navy,
one important consideration in this
project Is that for the mobilization OF
the colonial electives France would
pc ooilsed TO have a larger navy than
any any Isssd possible antagonist. Therefore
oniy tnose powers against which the
colored contingents could be used in
any number are Germany and Russia.
particularly in the case of a Russo
German offensive alliance The prac-
t1cabllity of the plan has been proved
1t Is thought. by the services rendered
to France during the world war by
Its colonial troops. Altogether. the
French colonies furnished 221,OOO
worknien and 900 combatants. The
valor of the latter is attested by the
fact that 20 per cent of them were
killed. At the time Of the armistice
there were under arms eighty-three e
battalions of Algerian, and Tunisian
rihemen. twelve battalions Of Moroc-
cans. ninety-two Of west Africans,
seventeen from Indo-China, ten from
Madagascar, one from Somali1and and
one from the French Pacific islands, a
total of 216 battalions.
The project now under consideration
would include 100000 colonials in
Frances peace-time army It must be
recalled that eighteenth century ideas
of democracy and equality still per-
sist very largely in France, with the
result that there is practically no
prejudice against Arabs and very lit
tie against blacks or Mongolians, al
though. curiously enough, there is
more against the latter than against
the former. One serious question,
however, is whether such troops as
the Senegalese can ever really become
acclimated to the clammy rigors of a
French winter.

DUBLIN. Ireland. August 6-Ire-
land. In the middle Of political pre-
labor troubles. This week the trades
union congress, representing more
than 250,000 workmen, has been in
session in Dublin, and the dominant
idea advanced Is to resist the wage
reductions now generally threatened.
The first trouble arises with the rail-
way employees. During the war the
government controlled the railways,
fixed the wages and paid the stock
holders. This meant uniform wages.
stations received the same pay as
those in London. Porters' wages be-
fore the war were 15 shilIings (s3.6O)

($13.6S). There were similar In
creases in the higher grades

Next week government control
wise their expenditures. They are
serving notices on the workers that
there will be progressive wage re-
ductions and STAFF rearrangemen in
accordance with the work done, but
the wages will still exceed by 100 to
$50 per cent those paid before the
war.
The Irish congress repudiates the
English board of trade figures giving
the increase in the cost of living at
.a2 per cent and says the Irish figure
The chairman of the congress pre-
diets the greatest upheaval in the his
tory Of the Irish labor movement. He
says the workers should not wait un-
til the railway men are defeated, but
should compel the middle classes to
face the situation or accept war. Irish
labor sentiment is of an advanced
type. When the congress met in D-Dub-
lin in 1914 the chairman was James
Larkin, the inspiration of whose
movement Is still effective. The lord
mayor Of Dublin gained the applause
Of the delegates by saying that when
he was In the United States recently
he visited Larkin In Sing Sing.
Stood Aside I'm Elections.
Labor stood aside in the last parlia-
Dentary elections and is not repre-
Dented in the Dali Eirean. It has sup
ported the Sim Fein strongly and
promises II the peace negotiations
break down to aid in its future fight.
Its demands in return may cause the
republican leaders some embarrass-
ment, for its social program is much
in advance of average Irish opinion.
Influential Sim Fein peacemakers are
now working for an accommodation be-
tween the employers and employees.

equality between the sexes was

this afternoon as the result of dis
cussions regarding the admission
of women to positions in the civil

chancellor of the exchequer, was
unanimously adopted, providing
that after a transitional period of
three years women shall be ad-
mitted to civil service in the United
Kingdom under the same condi-
ttons and regulations as govern
men.
Regard, however. Is to be had
to the suitability Of women for the
situations to be filled. Women
appointed to posts in the civil
service will have the same status
and authority as men, but, having
regard to the financial positio of
the country, the question of re-
muneration of women as compared
