SMALLER ARMY UNIT
PLANNED BY WEEKS
CBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, July Some army
regiments may be disbanded rather
than skeletonize. and a number of di-
visions merged, Secretary Weeks said
today in discussing the method of re-
ducing the enlisted strength of the
army from approximately two hundred
twenty thousand to one hundred fifty
thousand men as directed by congress.
Tentative plans for the reduction al
ready have been drawn by the general
staff the secretary said, although
these have not proceeded to the point
where decision has been reached as
to what units might be disbanded.
It was estimated that six of the mil
itary encampments constructed during
the war and still maintained as army
posts will be abandoned in the reduc-
ton process. The ones to be so affect
ed, however, have not been decided on
and probably will not be until rec
concentrations are submitted by a con-
gressional committee investigating the
subject. In any circumstances, it was
said, the army will retain title to the
land, water and sewerage systems of
the reservations so that they may be
made available without delay in case
of emergency.

MEMBERS OF CABINET
DISCUSS RAIL LOAN

WASHINGTON, July 9.-President
Harding had set aside an hour Satur-
day for discussion of the railroad sit
uation with Secretaries Mellon and
Hoover, Chairman Clark of the inter
state commerce commission, and Di-
rector-General Davis of the railroad
administration, negotiations between
the railroads and the treasury depart
ment under which the government
could advance five hundred million
dollars TO the carriers on account of
earnings spent in betterments during
federal control are expected to be con-
Guided soon. The eXpediting of rail-
road claims is another subject to
which attention has been given. Aside
from assisting the roads in financial
rehabilitation, President Harding has
expressed a keen Nterest in rate ad-
justments. He discussed this subject
recently with Chairman Clark at the
interstate commerce commission and
was understood to have taken the
possession then that in some in
stances reduction of rates would in
crease movement of commodities.
