pared by attorneys for i<eetey

balanced. ...
Unable to decide, Judge l<imbail

RAWN PISTOLS Save BURNING SII
DEFIANCE IS CONVERGING UPON HARDING
Disabled Service
Men Left Stranded

New York, March l8-Several
hundred disabled soldiers taking
vocational training in New York
and Its suburbs crowded Into the
district office of the veterans bu-
reau Saturday and unsuccessfuIIy
demanded their semi-monthIy pay.
Behind the cashiers window
were 5000 checks made out for
the veterans, but these were held
up, since the bureau was out of
funds because congress had not
passedsthe deficiency appropriation
bill.
The disabled soldiers, some of
them pleading hunger and empty
pockets, went up to the fifth floor
and begged Major Henry G. Op-
dicke, district manager, to see that
they got their money. He explain
ed that he had no authority to act,
but after teIephoning to Washing
ton, permission was received to
issue emergency funds to those
most in need.
The fund available contained
only a few thousand dollars, COM
pared with the 100000 or more
usually provided for the two weeks
payroll, in the metropolitan dis
trict.
1t was said that 1000 disabled
soldiers scattered over the country
faced a similar situation.

Cabinet members, are finding their
advice to congress being set aside daily.
and congress, particularly the house Of
representatives, seems bent upon pur-
suing its own ideas of government. re-
gardless of the officials actually in
charge OF the various branches.
Ignores Defense Chiefs
The house of representatives has
shown a desire to ignore the recon-
mendations of the secretary of war and
the secretary of the navy as to the
size and equipment of the two military
establishments. Congress evidently has
put great political store by the recent
arms conference and feels that the
complete success of that undertaking
will be assured only by cutting down
the American army and navy virtually
to the vanishing point. Secretary Of
DENLY, knowing more of the interna-
tional situation than is vouchsafed to
congress, feel that a serious cut in
either establishment would be little
short of a national disaster.
lndorsiag the two members of his
cabinet, President Harding has himself
appealed for navy of at least 1SO, 900
men and an army Of 10000, while
navy experts agree the strength should
be at least 100000 and General Perish
ing, member Of the advisory counsel
at the arms conference, has said it
would be fool-hardy to cut the army
below 10000 men. Congress has at
tempted to dispute the army claims by
limiting the number of American troops
to be stationed on the Rhine. in Ha-
waii. in the Philippines and in the canal
zone. President Harding feels that this
attempt on the part of congress to
direct the disposition Of armed force
Of the United States is clearly usurp-
alton of power which will not stand
q constitutional test
