HARTFORD INSISTS
ON 10000 ARMY
General Tells Senate Commit
tee Service Is Near Break
ing Point.

WASHINGTON, April IA ASSOCIATED
Press) The question OF military pre-
paredness arose to-day in the Senate
Appropriations Committee during its con-
sideration of the army appropriation
bill. Discussion of the subject was
brief. but Senators said the question OF
national policy had grown out OF the
fight over the House reduction In the
size Of the army
Major-Gen. ]. G. Harbord. deputy
Chief OF Staff. and Brig.-Gen. William
Lassiter. In charge OF military opera
tions and training, appeared before tins
committee. the former insisting that the
organization was strained to the break
ing point now under the forced reduction
OF a year ago. and the latter describing
the plan adopted by the Department for
building up at low expense" the forces
required in national emergency.
"Ir provision. is not made for 10000
men," said Gen. Hartford, "then we who
are charged with operation and main
tenance Of the work must ask Congress
to restate for us the mission or tha
army"
The statement followed series o.
questions by Senator Hitchcock (Nebo,
Democrat, who contended that the Euro
pean idea" of preparedness had been
proved wrong by the world war. Gen.
Harbord said the United States would
have saved much money upon which 1t
is now paying interest If it had been
properly prepared for the war. The
work done by the American army, he
added. was at extraordinary expense
land would have awaited nothing had
not gallant little F'race held the line until
we got our machinery going.
Mr. Hitchcock argued that the United
States had fooled all Europe in get
ting actively and effectively into the
fray in less than a year. To this the
General answered that had the prepa-
ration taken place ahead OF the declara-
ton of war. Germany might have felt
different about engaging u.s."

BANKER CALLS FORD
SCHEME JUST VISION
rockingham Says People
Would Finally Have to Pay
Muscle Shoals Bill.

Francis L. rockingham. member OF
the banking firm or Coffin & Burr
made an attack on Henry Ford and his
Muscle Shoals project last night in ar
address before an audience of cleo
trical, mechanical and civil engineers
in the auditorium OF the Engineering
Societies Building. 33 West Thirty.
ninth street. He declared that Mr.
Ford's offer to Secretary OF War Weeks
to turn the Muscle Shoals power project
into a commercial undertaking was 9
visionary picture that challenged the
sense of reality of the commonest bust
ness man and citizen
Mr.. rockingham accused Mr.. Ford OF
seekinga perpetual monopoly on which
the United States Government must pay
the bills. and which. he declared. would
be passed on to the public to pay In the
end.
'AIr. Ford is making extravagant and
wild statements" said Mr.. rockingham.
'sin regard to Muscle Shoals and his WIS.,
ionary plans. which include the building
of a city seventy-flve miles long and the
statement that Muscles Shoals Is capable
Of producing the greatest natural water
power in the United States"
"a real estate concern in Alabama is
selling real estate at fabulous prices to
deluded persons on the strength or these
statements, all of which are misleading.
Mr.. Ford should denounce this shameless
propaganda.
"In his offer TO the Government MI.
Ford seeks to set at naught the Federal
water power act, which limits the fran
chise rights OF the natural resources
vested in a water power location to
fifty years. He seeks first franchise
for 100 years, with the right to main
tain that right in perpetuity. thus es-
tablishing q private monopoly that IS
obnoxious to the American public. Fur
thermore, he asks the Government TO
nav the bill for building the dam al
Muscle Shoals, and other Developments
to the tune Of S50.000,000, and then
proposes to pay only the interest on
this expenditure"
Mr.. rockingham also told of the
offer Of the Alabama Power Company
to take over the Muscle Shoals project,
complete at it's own expense the opera
tons begun by the Government and 70
ACQUIRE the franchise under the terms
of the Federal water power act. This
plan, he said. was sound from BUSH
ness standpoint and differed vastly
from that of Mr.. Ford. ..
"The automobile manufacturer" he
said, talks Of manufacturer cheap fer

profit. 1t is upon this slender reed that
we have built the farmers clamor for
Mr.. Ford to get Muscle Shoals. This
support is that of the blinded public that
seeks to thwart its own best interests.
IL Ford is allowed to shut off the Muscle
Shoals power from the communities OF
the South 1t will indeed be a calamity"
Mr.. Ford's project was also denounced
by A. T.. Yates of the engineering firm
Of Wood, Hulse & Yates Company. The
project was also discussed by w. j. Lam
dis. chief technologist Of the American
Cyanide Company.

Proposed Duty on Hides.

The farm organizations are up In the
air over the proposed tax on hides,
which have been admitted free for many
years, even during Republican Adminis-
trations, except under tho Dingley bill.
The farmers are much alarmed. and feel
that since there Is a compensatory tariff

ucts the tariff will boost to unheard OF
prices the price OF footwear. harness and
other things needed on the farm.

subject that move II on foot 10 ask

President Harding regards as I'M
justifiabie the attacks made on che De-
partment Of Justice the War Depart
ment and other agencies OF the Govern
ment, for alleged laxity In procedure
against war profiteers. He has the
utmost confidence that the Attorney
Generals present program will work out
successfully but holds the view that
time and patience are required.
Mr.. Daugherty was in conference sew
eral hours to day with the President, and
discussed at length the progress made
by the Department of Justice In war
fraud cases Mr.. Daugherty later de-
MED that there had been any undue de-
lay In handling the aircraft fraud cases
or cases in other groups In which. 1t is
alleged, the Government was mulcted of
enormous sums through overpayments
on contracts let by the War and Navy
departments. the Shipping Board and
other agencies.
Referring specifically to the handling
Of the Lincoln Motor Company case by
the Department of Justice, the Attorney
General said the Governments bill win
be filled soon, probably in the Federal
court at Detroit. He explained that the
court must determine the validity OF the
Coverrnent'a claim
Mr.. Daugherty said he has ordered
that the issues In the Lincoln Motors
case be presented without delay. He de-
clined to discuss the charges made in
and out OF Congress that "influence"
had played an important part in delay
ing preparation or other aircraft cases
for Grand Jury Investigation or for trial
by courts.
Many OF the aircraft cases and others
involving war frauds. it was explained,
still were In the investigation stage at
the Department OF Justice. Mr.. Daugh-
erty believes 1t would be highly fnJudi-
cious to discuss the departments In
curry into such cases. as most of them
involve facts that are confidential until
Grand Juries pass upon them and de-
eide whether indictments are Justified

Officials OF the farm bureaus in
formed leading Senator's to-day they are
dissatisfied with many OF the schedules
in the bill and indicated that unless
they are modified the farmers will re-
pudiate the whole bill.
Furthermore the farmers agents let
Il be known that their viewpoint on the
tariff was misrepresented by the Sem
ate tariff bloc, of which Senator Good
ing idaho is chairman. The farm or
CARNATIONS. so their spokesman say, are
especially dissatisfied over the tariffs
on potash and hides.
UP to this time the greatest amount
of potash produced in this country in
one year was 1900 tons. while the
average yearly demand before the war
was $4,000 tons. Because of the lack
of supply for some years, since the war.
the demand for potash now Is tremen-
dous, say farmers agents. and they are
opposed to the pending bill. which pro-
vides for a high protective tariff for
the producers In this country for five
years.
Despite earnest protests by farm or
CARNATIONS the Senate let the House
provision stand admitting free potassium
sulphate and chloride OF potassium and
wood ashes, &C, but providing that the
potash content should be taxed for q
period of five years at 2 4 cents pound
on a graduated scale.

WHAT To omit
What to Give Up During
Lent, Big Problem DR..
Peck Says
DIR. NORWOODLENTEN
SPEAKER TOMORROW

"The Art OF Omitting" was the
subject OF a sermon delivered by the
Rev George Clark Peck. Of the
Maryland General Hospital, Balti-
more, at the MONDAY Lenten serv-
Ice in ST. Andrew Episcopal Church
today. The Rev. j. W. r. Sumwalts
pastor of Grace NJ. r. Church. was
in charge Of the preliminary service.
Doctor Peck said what to omit
and what not TO omit was a prob
lem. but one that was well worth
studying. He said In part: How
and wEat and why to give up things
becomes a big problem during the
Lenten season. However. II should
not be one that concerns US only in
the Lenten season. but one that
should concern us during every for
ty-day period that follows.
II we knew how TO omit what
ever creates an abomination we
would be much abler Christians. The
man who can omit things in the
proper manner Is the one that ap-
peals TO us. All OF us throughout
the year face the problem OF over
crowding our lives. We do not prac-
tice the art OF cutting out. In the
garden of life we constantly over
seed to use Scripture terms. There
fore we do not come TO perfection.
because we are overgrown.
If we could learn to distinguish
between the important and un-im-
portant we would then be arriving al
perfection. We hear some person
say, I should have given that man a
piece OF my mind but I didn't ]
don't think Heaven will reproach US
for not delivering sharp speeches to
our fellowmen. Let us hope that
Lent may have taught us more in
ter-fellowship. SO omit as best you
can In order to exalt your SOU

pressure and contributed its full
share toward the winning Of the war.
The closing Of this plant will have
no noticeable effect on the industrial
activities Of the city. for in recent
