 Declares Kahn

Washington, March 1T-(By AP.) Warning members of Congress that false economy Is the poorest kind of economy Chairman Kahn of the House Military Affairs Committee de- clared today during conisd eraItion of the army appropriation bill that a reduction in the size of the regular army to 115. 900 enlisted men and Ill., 900 officers as proposed in the meas ure would be 'saltogether too drastic a cut at this time.'
 The California representative held that pay provision should be made for 15o.oO0 men and 13,00O officers during the coming fiscal year as re- quested by the War Department, O. if Congress were determined to direct a direction in the interests of should not be decreased below 140,- 900 men.
 '@rhese, figures show that we are exceedinly mindful of the welfare of our people in keeping down military costs and expenditures declared the speaker.
 "A comparison of our national wealth with the number of soldiers now maintained in the regular army the House was informed, shows that each soldier Is charged with afford ing protection and national security to s1,756.597 of the s350, 1000, 100000 total Of our national wealth. Each one of these soldiers Is at the present time protecting some 25 suare miles of territory of our madn- land and dependencies, and with giv- ing ASA of our people a. guarantee against foreign interference with their constitutional rights in their pursuit of health, happiness and law full gain. All this at cost of three dollars per capita of population"
 Reviewing the military situation prior to the entrance of the United States into the world war, the chair man asserted that "by reason of our lack of preparedness we were com pelled to expend during rhe 19 months we were in the war the start ling sum of $24,o0o, 900, ,0O0."

MINISTER EXPUNGES
 PSALM FROM BIBLE

London, March IT - The Rev. Darcy s. /Rudd. vicar of St. John the Evangelist, Leeds, has dec1d- ed to expunge the 1O9th psalm from the Psalter of his church on the ground that it. is not only un-Chrfstian, but antf-ChrfS- tian.
 In making this announcement the vicar says that he has not sung the psalm himself, and he wondered how many nemberS of the congregation appreciated the . real import of the terrible words that they sung so enthusiasttcal- ly
 The 1O9th, he said, was proba- bIy the most ma1edictory and bit ter of the psalms, and the verses were written by some vindictive man who was longing for re- venge.
 The vicar read some of the passages in which David com plains of his slanderly adversary and says:
 ..Iet his children be fatherIess; and his wife @ widow
 "Let his children be yagabonds and beg their bread.
 '<Let there be no man to pity hiSn; nor to have compassion upon his fatherIess children
 When sentence is given upon him, let him be condemned; and let his prayer be turned into
 They do us no good, said the vicar, for they represent human nature at its very worst.

LONDON REVOLT BREWS
 AGAINST STIFF COLLAR

London, March 17-There is mas culine war brewing in London. It is directed against the high, stiff collar.
 Fashion leaders have attempted to renew the popularity of the t'choker'' collar, which was famous along Pic cadilly in the pre-war days. and have met with a storm of disapprova1.
 London dandies have become ac- customed to the soft collar, and they have no desire to go back to the strangulating- fashion of five years ago.
 The newspapers have taken up the fight for the soft and low collar, and medical experts are quoted at length to prove that the high collar is a menace to the health of the British Empire.
 George Bernard Shaw is held up to the Londoners as the greatest ex- ponent of the soft and low collar.

 YpreS boasts of four banks, a mo- ton picture theatre, seven hotels and even tea rooms and dance halls. On market day the Grand Place is crowded with Flemish farmers and traders.
 They are rebuilding Ypres. Modern hands are trying their skill at re- constructing the famous old Cathe- dral. There are those who want to reconstruct the famous Cloth Hall. but there is opposition to this on the ground that it must go down in his tory a ruin and a monument to the wrath of the German Army
 Up and down the Monin Road there is g. continual string of dog and goat carts. The farmers are busy and happy.
 Rows and rows of wooden crosses add solemnity to the busy, happy re- construction of Ypres. Never a day goes by but what there are little black-clad groups seen wandering through the fields of crosses, seeking the grave of some fallen hero.

PELICAN STOPS GOLF GAME.

St. Petersburg, Fla, March 17-A pelican, one of those huge, 1ong-beak- ed marine birds that poise themselves a hundred feet above the water, close their wings and with peaks open dive head foremost into schools of small fish, finished golf game here recently "one down." The Coffee Pot course is along the shore of Tampa Bay and on the eleventh hole is a small brack- ish lake forming a water hazard which must be crossed to reach the green.
 One member of a foursome drove from the tee and a strong wind car ried the ball into the lake. A pelican flying lazily above the lake evidently took the ball bobbing on the surface for a new variety of fish for he sud- denly closed his wings, dropped with terrific speed, and gobbled it.
