Assurance has been given the Civic

that ample provisions would be in
cluded in the city estimate to provide
for improvements TO the Rose Hill
cemetery, it was announced this morn
ing by Mrs. II. Z. Foster These i'm
provements have been advocated by
the Civic League for some time.
A maintenance program probably
will be worked out as result Of
the proposed funds. This would be
necessary to keep the cemetery in
good order after the improvements
were made. 1t was pointed out by Mrs.
Foster.
one OF the lectures of the proposed
improvements Is a road that VIII
traverse the various sections Of the
cemetery. A fence was built around
the site recently. but the expense or
the same was betrayed by subscription.
1T was built Of Tishomingo granite
and iron frame work at $4,000.
The road leading TO the cemetery
which Is outside the city limits. Will
be put in good order and substantially
maintained by the county. Assurance
TO this effect was made by county
commissoner-elect Roy johnson. Ae'
cordlng TO Mrs Foster Mr.. Johnson
declared that this would be one Of
his first efforts as soon as he takes
office.

Washington, June 3O.-President
Harding today signed the annual army
appropriation bill directing reduction
Of the regular army TO 100000 men
by October, but at the same time. ad-
vised congress that in his opinion.
further legislation might be required
to relieve the government of the en-
barrassment of violating its obliga-
tons to enlisted men whose discharge
the reduction will make necessary.
The president told congress in a
special message that ne would not
feel justified in asking the secretary
Of war to enforce the dismissal OF
men who had enlisted for a definite
period. as it would seem there is
moral obligation involved, the viola.
tion of which would be demoralizing to
the spirit Of the army itself.
THE secretary of war" the president
said, would seek TO avoid the creation
Of any deficit, but If any probable
deficient developes in a lust procs.
dure to reduce our enlisted forces, /
will report to congress at the earliest

The president did not go into details
