WOULD RECLAIM LAND VALUED
 AT BILLION

WASHINGTON, April IS. - One billion dollars worth of property will be reclaimed under the $350,- O00,OOO McNary irrigation bill, ac- cording to reclamation leaders in the Senate.
 Supporters of the bill which pro- vides for the irrigation of arid waste lands and the drainage of swamp lands, declare that all previous Gov ernment projects have resulted in the recovery of lands worth three times the money spent in salvage Their statements are borne out by Government records.
 To date, it was shown, the Govern ment has spent $13O,000,000 on arid and swamp lands This reclamation work restored approximately 1,OO0,- 900 acres of land in the South and West. This land, according to Fed eral estimates, is now valued at 0,000000. Crops raised on the re- claimed areas up until 1922 had a value of $40O,0OO,OOO.
 The Governments records of re- claimed territories produce interest ing statistics. It is shown that 223 towns have been built on the sal vaged land and more than 32,S00 farms occupied. There is total pop ulation of 45O,O0O people of the land, which formerly consisted of arid deserts or huge boggy swamps.
 All modern conveniences have been instituted in reclaimed areas, it is shown. There are 879 schools and 649 churches on these areas, accord ing to Government records.
 Prosperity also seems to have followed the reclaimer, for the rec ords show that PAY banks have been established on reclaimed land. These banks, it is added, have deposits to- talling $143,539,S56 and are growing

UNITED STATES BEHIND EUROPE
 IN ARMY COSTS

WASHINGTON, April IS, - For every dollar per capita which the Unit ed States is spending today on her army France is spending seven and Great Britain is spending four, accord, ing to figures made public by the general staff of the United States Army.
 Figuring the population of the Unit 1 ed States at 106,418,000 and the 155,363, War Department officials es- innate the per capita expenditure at $3.22. This contrasts with $2252 per capita for the French army, $12.35 per capita for the British Empire forces, $670 per capita for Italy, and $3.3S | for Japan
 Considered from the point of view of national wealth, the United States is far in the rear of other nations of the world in the amount expended for military establishment. With an es- timated wealth of $35O,OOO,O 100000, the United States is expending ten hun dredths per cent upon her army while the British Empire, with an estimated weath of $S00,525 100000, is spending .45 per cent; France, with $10O,OO0,- 100000, is spending .93 per cent; Italy, with $30000,0O0,OOO, is spending .S2 per cent, and Japan, with $25 5,OOO,- 100000, is spending .76 per cent.
 These figures leave out of account the fact that the American soldier is the highest paid soldier in the world and that, in proportion to man-power, the American Army is scarcely su, perior to many of the comparatively insignificant Balkan states.
 | After enumerating the essential purposes for which the Army must be used, if the National Defense act of 1920 is to be carried out, the re- port of the General Staff says: Any further reduction in the en- listed strength will at once force a decision as to which of the missions of the Army mst be altered, curtailed or abandoned altogether"
 Officials of the War Department are particularly concerned over sug- gestions that appropriations for the continuance of instruction to the Ma tional Guard and the Reserve Corps both officers and enlisted personnel, of the Army be heavily slashed If these appropriations are cut down, they contend, the whole spirit of the National Defense act, which they re- gard as the first definite statement of military policy for the United States, will be lost, and the whole value of the experiences of the world war will be dissipated.

NHOWI

The audience at the Empress last night was delighted with the beauti- ful, heart-stirring feature, Behold My Wife!" It is offered again tonight
 It is a picture that is distinguished by it's breadth of theme and back ground It is George Melford's latest production, based upon Sir Gilbert Parker's thrilling story of the Cana dian Northwest, "The Translation of a Savage"
 The central characters are an h. dian girl and the aristocratic young Englishman who marries her in a mo- ment of rage because of word that his fiancee back in England has thrown him over, due largely to his family's efforts. Determining to humiliate them, he sends his redskin bride over- seas to them. Then he proceeds to go to the devil in his own way. However, dramatic events bring about the re- generation of the man and the trans lation of the girl into beautiful, cul- tured woman, and the ending is a happy one.
 Behold My Wife!" has the rare good fortune to have cast of play CTS that interprets each role with rare sympathy. Mabel Julienne Scott is the heroine and Milton Stills DOT trays the part of the young English man. Elliott Dexter and Ann Forrest also have important roles. The pie ture is a Paramount and was adopt ed to the screen by Frank Condon. Shown for the last time tonight. May Allison in "The Marriage of William Ashe," tomorrow.

HIS OWN STORY
!. Of CLUB FIGHT
Principal In Row at Carroll
Country House Puts
Blame on Dawson.

Allen sproul. who figured in d fist
ic battle recently at the Carroll
Country Club near Bethesda with
Thomas L. Dawson. States attorney
OF Montgomery county. yesterday de-
clared In a letter to The Times that
he came to the aid Of the girl in the
case after she was assaulted by
His letter follows:
Inasmuch as. against any desire
of mine, my name has been men,

to trouble which occurred on the
evening OF July /, at the Carroll

Of Montgomery county, and q sub.
sequent charge Of conducting dis
orderly house placed against tho
proprietors Of the club, ] ask the
favor of publication of this commu-
nication In order to right certain
wrong impressions.
Mr.. Dawson, in The Times OF
Thursday evening. is quoted as
saying that accompanied by his
wife he went to the club for the
purpose Of - investigation, there
having been a number OF COM
plants against the place; that i'm
mediately upon his arrival he was
recognized and his table ap-
preached by a young woman who
made some indiscreet remarks be-
fore his wife, and that upon nv
taking up the quarrel l was given
a swift upper cut to the chin"
and told TO mind my own business.
This all sounds very lofty and bus.
mess like. The facts Of the mat
ter are these:
In June or July, 1921. States At
torney Dawson while engaged In
a Maryland case involving the ac-
cepting OF bets on horse races by
certain persons, in the presence Of
one or more witnesses, made some
entirely unwarranted and slander.

auainted, and who had no earthly
connection with the case under

part merited redress, but the mat
ter was dropped, due to aversion

She was then assaulted by Daw'
son, who seized her by the arm
and shook her with force sufficient
to tear and bruise her arm, accom-
panied by the query as TO whether
she desired to spend the 1iEht In
Rockville jail. As to the swift up

states I received upon remon-
strating against his methods, can
only say his word was the first
