On Prices of Meat

EAST LAS VEGAS. N. NJ, March
20.-Prices paid to beef producers
compared with prices paid by the
public for beef at retail were declared
to be unfair in an address by Fred II.
Bixby, president OF the American Ma
tional Livestock Association before
the annual convention of the New
Mexico Cattle and Horse Growers
Association here today. Mr.. Bixby
also declared prices to the retail trade
would not come down and profiteer-
ing would not cease until the pack
ers have gone into the retail busi-
ness.
United states Senator A. A. Jones,
who also addressed the convention,
said that If some equitable ratio of
prices was not reached by fair meth
DDS it might be necessary for the gov
ernment to regulate them as had been
done during the war.
Both men spoke in favor of a pro-
teetive tariff on meat and hides; SEN
ator Jones said a protective tariff
would put a stop to importation OF
relatively small quantities Of cattle
from abroad and using them as a
means 10 break the market and re-
duce prices paid to American produc-
'ers.

Sees Little Hope OF
Enlarging Army For
Coming Fiscal Year

WASHINGTON. March 20. - After
a conference today at the capitol with
house Republican leaders, Secretary
Weeks said he saw little prospect OF
the house agreeing to a larger army
during the coming fiscal year than
the force provided for In the army
appropriation bill--115,000 men and
IL 900 officers.
Reiterating his belief that pay
provisions should be made for $4,000
men, exclusive OF 1000 Philippine
scouts and $4,000 officers, the secre-
tary of war said he had hoped the
senate would insist on that strength.
Mr.. Weeks discussed the army sit
uation with a number of house mem
bers and, he said, found the senti-
ment general that the sub-commit-
tee which framed the pending appro-
priation bill would succeed in put
ting through its recommendation for
reduction in enlisted and officer per-
sonnel.
A vote on the strength provision Of
the bill probably will come within the
next day or so.
While at the capital. Secretary
Weeks was told by Representative
Session, Mississippi. Democratic
member of the sub committee. that
he would offer an amendment pro-
viding for a reduction in enlisted
personnel to 100000 men by July /.

in relation to the state school fund.

amount of $25 per capita, The ad

To Withdraw All
u. S. Troops From
Germany by July
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1

ASHING NGTON. Mar. 2o.-All
American troops will be out Of Ger
many by July /. under orders issued
by Secretary Weeks today by direc-
tion of President Harding. About
1000 officers and men are directly af-
fected as the remainder Of Major
General Aliens command in the Cob
lenz bridgehead zone on the Rhine
already had nome orders.
The announcement of the decision
for complete American evacuation or
occupied territory in Germany was
made by Secretary Weeks as his first
act on return to the war department
from a three weeks vacation in Flor
ida. He added that the step was or
dered in compliance with the policy
previously announced Of withdrawing
the Rhine forces as quickly as pos
sible. 1t had no relation, he said, to
the wrangle in congress over further
reduction in the size Of the army,
nor did it result from the correspon-
dence between the state department
and the allied commissioners over the
American demand for share in Ger
man reparations payments on account
of the maintenance of troops in Ger
many
It was admitted at the war depart
ment that the action Of the United
States in completely abandoning the
Rhineland position might have some
effect on the negotiations resulting
from Secretary Hughes action in
submitting request that the United
States receive a share in German
reparations payments already made
to cover maintenance of the armies
on the Rhine. 1t was insisted, how
ever, that the step was not a direct
result of those negotiations, since
complete withdrawal was forecast be-
fore the note calling attention to the
