PREMIER MUST
NOT RESIGN
SAYS Cabinet
Ministers Unite in Urging
Lloyd George to Retain
Office
DECISION POSTPONED
Eead of Revolt Against PremierS
Rule Has Not Been Removed How
ever.

Oxford, England, March l.-AuStcn
Chamberlain. Government leader ~
, the House of Commons, in an address
here yesterday evening, announced
that, after consulting his colleagues in
the Cabinet, he had given Prime Min
istcr Lloyd George a unanimous reply
that they considered il necessary III the
national interest that the pren'icr
should continue to carry on the gov
icrnment.
Mr.. Chamberlain said that when
Premier AsGuith resigned during the
var sir. Lloyd George had not sought
the premiership. but desired to scrv"
under Arthur J. Balfour or Audrey
Borar Law. Both these men thought
il in the national interest that Mr..
LLOYD George should have thc premier
ship, and he accepted the post 1T their
request, Mr.. Chamberlain said.
Mr. Lloyd George then said that If
ut any time he felt that the country :
interests would be bcf ter served by the
return to party government ne gladly
would retire in favor Of either Mi'.
Baliour or Mr.. Bonar Law, the
speaker added.
"Mr. Llovd~ George repeated that
offer to me the other day." Mr.. Cham
bcrIain continued. "Ani he would not
take my answer, but asked me form

him have their rcply. | have consult

piled that we have the national inter

own party, and that we must take the
broad and long view, and that would
not be served, but would be injured
by The prime minister resignlng.
"We havetold him that we value ms

PRESIDENT IS
AGAINST Army
And NAVY CUT
Opposed to Gripping U. S.
Armed Forces at
This Time
NO ECONOMY RAIDS"
Insists on Minimum of 100000 For
Army and $4,000 For Navy
Being Observed

Washington, March 4..-President
Harding is opposed now and will con-
tinue to oppose any extreme slashing
Of army or navy appropriations.
He feels that it would be a grave
blunder to allow the spasm of economy
which has seized certain interests in
Congress to cripple the army or para
lyZe the navy.
This WIS made known by Mr.. Hard
ing himself yesterday afternoon fol-
! lowing a conference at the White
House with the subcommittee of the
House dealing with military appro-
priations Earlier he had gone over
the same general matter with men,
bers of the Naval Affairs Committee
of the House and Wednesday night ne
strongly urged Chairman Madden, of
the House preparations Committee
to see the business from the Admin
istration'S standpoint.
Concrctely put, the President be-
lievcs it would be a serious mistake
to reduce the enlisted personnel of
the army below 100000 men. The
House is now proposing to cut the
number t. l17,000.
The President believes the enlisted
personnel of the navy should be not
less than $4,000 and would prefer to
see It nearer 100000 men. The House
is insisting that $4,000 men will be
enough to man the fleet and shore sta
tions.
The President let it be known that
he does not stand in the way of mod
crate decrease In appropriations for
the two services. In fact, he believes
that some reductions can be made with
out seriously impairing the efficiency
Of either.
But he is firmly opposed to gen
cral slashing of the budget for the
military and naval establishments and
will fight any ill-considered and un-
justifia Bile. cuts until there is a great
cr degree of peace and stability at
home and abroad.
Before making his position upon
these issues public the President went
over at some length the military prob
lem with the subcommittee. The mem
bers of this committee were summon
cd to the White House following
scmi-otiicial announcement yesterday
that the army would be cut to $4,000
or to 1l7,000 men at the outside.
The summons for the committee fol-
lowed the visit of General Pershing
to the White House. whore he made
personal appeal to Harding 20 save
the army.
The committeeman told the Presi-
dent the same thing yesterday, but
they passed the responsibility on the
membership of the House as whole,
insisting that it would be next to i'm
possible, rs matters row stand, to
drive through the House ali Army APP
preparation bill providing for an
army of more than ll7,000 men.
The President. it is understo TODD,
served notice on the committee that
he could not stand for any such ac-
ton and that he would be satisfied
with an army after July not less than
10000 men. which is 10000 men less
than the present authorized strength
of the land forces.

MIL. BURN BOUT
OFF; MAY GIVE
FANS MIKE IN
SPECIAL EVENT

Because he has 'planked the bank
rolf on the outcome OF a tentative
match with Ed Uren, Butte, Montana,
uhantom. Red Milburn will not ap-
pear on the program at the Sixteenth
street arena next Tuesday night, the
matchmaker for the Disabled War
eYterans announced last night. II
has been planned to match Milburn
with Sailor Danny Burns of Prescott
in an eight-round special event.
Milburn is anxious to appear in
Phoenix Fact is, he would have
signed tn eagreement to fight next
Tuesday night but Pop Milburn
stepped in.
"Looka here son." said dad. Jest
supposin' something would happen
and you'd lose your 500 iron men.
Better lay off these 'flapper bouts
1t appears that Red has posted
$500 to guarantee his appearance
against Uren at Bisbee July 3, the
forfeit money to go as side bet on
the outcome Of the engagement.
Notwithstanding the vets match
maker has arranged a good card for
the Tuesday night offering Billie
Johnson, who takes on Soldier Jack
Lynch in the 10-round main event
looks awfully good in the training
camp and If he carries any of the
stuff into the prize ring the Pres
cbtt middleweight will be in for tough
shedding.
Johnson hit a fast pace. but con-
fessed that 'the weather slows me
down a good Bit" He said that he
would be acclimated within day or
so and then would stretch out a
trifle in his training work. He ap-
peare dat the Sixteenth street arena
at 81 80 o'clock yesterday afternoon
and there were many fans on hand to
greet him and get a. slant at his
style. But for the rest of the time
he will not get into his gym suit
until $3.50 o'clock. he said last night.
Billie comes to Phoenix with
record of never having been knocked
out. Eie holds draw decision with
Eddie Fitzsimmons, the Oklahoma
City star, and has defeated some OF
sippi valley.
In his only previous appearance in
Arizona Bill lost a 10-round decision
to Bob Collins, a 190-pounder, at Bis
bee. Bill gave away an even 40
pounds in that engagement and then
gave the fans one of the most exciting
bouts witnessed in Bisbee that sea-
son.
The remainder of the Tuesday
night card is unchanged, Matchmaker
Mccoy announced last night. Rivers
and Campbell will be seen in spe-
cial six round event and frankie
Romo and Rufus the Second also will

sey's sincerity in his declared willing
ness to meet Harry Wills, negro
challenger, in match for the heavy
weight championship. Tex Rickard,
sports promoter, tonight said he was
not impressed with the prospect of
such a bout this summer or fall.
Il will say right n9w that Dempsey
will never get 100000 from me for
fighting Wills or anybody else" the
promoter declared. IF he boxes for
me he will work on a percentage and
if he gets 100000 he will be doing

had the same sentiment as regards
''eXtravagant" guarantees in the case
of Johnny Kilbane featherweight
champion, Wills recently posted
s2,500 with the New York Athletic
commission as a guarantee of his
good faith in challenging Dempsey.
