Secretary Weeks and Gen. Pershing,
testifying yesterday before the Sem
ate military affairs committee. said
that the War Department desired to
have given It powert't6 redtstribute
and balance the officer personnel of
the Army. in the different grades.
They were discussing the bill fixing
the officer strength Of the Army at
1900 instead OF the maximum $1,000
Of existing law.
Such redistribution and balancing.
Secretary Weeks said, would prevent
the officer grades from becoming top
heavy, and would promote efficiency
With 1900 officers, he. said, the
Army could adequately take care of
the present Army strength. The same
number of officers, however, he added,
either $4,000 or $4,000 smaller or
larger than at present.
Many Would Be Retired.
According to Gen. Pershing's fig
ures. the bill would retire 105 col
onels and lit lieutenant coionels in
the five months Immediately after
it's enactment into law. The number
of other officers who would be placed
on the inactive list was not est1-
mated.
Chairman Wadsworth announced to
the committee that he had received
replies to questionnaLes from the
heads of forty-two educational in
stttutions Of more than local impor-
tance, which have military training,
and that with one exception the an
swers were that the schools cons1d-
cred military instruction under Army
officers a distinct asset" All ap-'

Mr.. Weeks told the committee the
drain on the officer personnel of the
Army was gradually becoming
heavier The department, he said. was
unable to supply all the officers de,
manded by the National Guard. and
he mentioned also a shortage for duty
at educational institutions. Further.
he said. the citizen training camps
and other training centers were MAX
ing calls, and every effort was being
made to give them the officers needed.

CLAIMS BRANCH OF SHIP
BOARD is REORGANIZED
$40, 900, 900 Total Expected to Be
Settled Well Within $50,oOO,-
600 Provided in Bill.

REORGANIZATION of the claim depart
ment of the Shipping Board to expedite
the settlement of claims against the
board totaling $140.000,000 was an
noupced last night by the board.
tt is the expectation of the board,
Elmer Schlesinger.. general counsel.
said, that the claims will be settled
for a sum well within S50,000,0O pro-
vided by a bill now in conference be-
tween the two houses of Congress for
the purpose. Mr.. Schlestnger said that
under a recent decision Of the United
States Court of Claims neither the
Navy nor the Shipping Board could be
held liable for damages for the can
collation. of a war contract on account
of the armistice, but claimants would
only be entitled to just compensation.
The board, he said, therefore would not
consider prospective profits.
Underthe reorganization, Mr.. Schles-
niger said, claims will be handled by
individual members of the claims COM
mission, except those of an unusual
character, instead of by the commission
as whole. No payments will be made
until the findings of the commission
have the approval of the Shipping
Board.
To effect the new arrangement a de-
partment of claims, under Nathan A.
Smyth. general counsel of the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation, has been in
stituted, and a regrouping of the func-
tions of the law department has been
made.

homes to war workers on the instalI-
ment plan under the terms of q reso-
luton introduced yesterday by Rep

EYES OF IRELAND
ON LONDON PARLEY
Much Speculation on Reason
for Call for Meeting of
Leaders.
BY the Associated Press.

DUBLIN. February 25-in;erest
in the Irish situation has switched
to London with the departure las;
night for conferences with the Brit
ish cabinet of Arthur Griffith, presi-
dent of the dali eirann cabinet, and
Sir James Craig. premier of Ulster
No official announcement has been
made here as TO who Will accompany
Mr. Griffith. but the best information
is that he is taking only a single
legal adviser with him.
Members of the provisional govern
ment are extremely reticent concern
ing the London conference.
Uncertainty, coupled with anxiety.
is the general feeling here, as,
according TO reports reaching Dublin.
the British cabinet is surprised and
displeased over the ard fheis agree
ment Neither the free state advo-
Gates nor the republicans In cautious
comment inferred that the ard fheis
pact contravened the treaty or the
free state bill in any important par
ticular, and speculation ranged into
the field of English politics to dts
cover the reason tor the call for
conference with Irish leaders issued
by WinstonSpencer Churchill secre-
tary for the colonies.
The conjecture dealt with the posi-
ton Of the British government and
there was widespread talk of gem
erai election. Ii was pointed out
that IL Premier Lloyd George con-
templated an early appeal to the
country his plans would be affected
seriously by the ard fAe!s pact, as
1t is taken for granted that one Of
the strongest cards in Hr. LLOYD
Georges campaign would be the ac-
complished fact of an Irish settle
ment. If forced into an election with
the Irish settlement still in the bal
ance and waiting ratification by the
Irish people. not only of the treaty,
but of the constitution of the Irish
Free State. which stlll remains to be
drafted, 1t IS foreseen the pre4niers
position would be greatly impaired.
Whatever happens, however, nobody
here contemplates that the ard fheis
pact will be Cancelled or even modi-
fed
Friends of Mr. Griffith say that if
he is required to state the reason
for postponement Of elections in
Ireland for three months he will
answer that it was done with
the very best Intentions, as cit
uation was developing rapidly which
might conceivably have prevent
ed the holding of elections. The
ard fheis pact. these persons say.
already has done much toward bring
Ing about a better feeling between
the free state partisans and the re-
publtcans and restoring harmony in
the Irish republican army.
