The United States will continue to
maintain one regiment of soldier, in
China and as many of the armed
force in the Hawaiian Islands and
along the Panama Canal as Presi-
dent Harding, the commander in
chief desires. Ever since the an
ncuncement that the House Appro-
priations Committee had failed to
provide for the maintenance of
American troops in foreign territory
vigorous protests have been lodged
against such action by military au-
throities. Many legal specialists as

in-chief. had the right to send
American soldiers wherever he
wished, although few international
experts say this question is one to

The Bureau of Engineering,
Navy Department., announces the
development of a muffler for motor
boat engines which on recent tests
gave perfect muffling with unusually
light back pressure to the engine.
The results of these tests have been
so interesting that it is believed the
new muffler may be valuable for
automobiles as well as motor boats
in increasing the mileage per gal
Ion of gasoline.
This muffler, by the way, is by
product of research work done dur
ing the war in experimenting with
the various principles of sound to
develop devices by which the Ger
man submarines might be detected
by listening for them with especi-
ally delicate instruments.
Practically the whole OF the Uni
