RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT

The year is yet young, still the sad
message has twice visited the ranks
of Aloha Chapter No. 240 o. E. S. and
called from our roll two of our best
loved and most honored members,
Charter members of our Chapter. On
January 18th Sister Laura A. Mills
answered the summons of the death
angel, and ON February 18th Sister
Jennie Westbay heard the call, and
.again we were left to mourn, not as
those who have no hope of glad re-
union, for we know they have gone
to their reward, that place not made
with hands, and they will be watch
ing and waiting to welcome US when
our summons come. We extend our
heartfelt sympathies and can only
say to them, weep not" for our loss
is their Eternal gain.
"They are not dead, these friends,
not dead,
Both in the path we mortalS tread,
Gone some few trifling steps ahead,
And nearer to the end;
So that we, too, once past the bend,
Shall meet again, as face to face these
friends
We fancied dead"
Resolved, that these resolutions be
spread upon the minutes of our Chap
ter and a copy be sent to each of the
bereaved families.

COCKTAILS WOULD
MANAGE PROJECTS

Washington, March 3.-George w
Goethals, former major general and
builder of the Panama canal, viii
take personal charge of the develop
ment of the governments war pro-
jects at Muscle Shoals in event the
congress accepts the offer of Freder-
ick Engstrum, North Carolina ship
builder, for lease and completion of
the properties, it was announced to-
day. Mr.. Goethals already has a.
greed, it was added, to accept the task
of completing the great dam at
Muscle Shoals and other projects
there for Mr.. Engstrum.
The announcement of the agree
ment between Mr.. Engstrum and Mr..
Goethals was made by Marion Butler,
former senator from North Carolina,
in testimony given the house military
committee on the proposal which was
under consideration.
The committee devoted both ses-
sions today to an investigation of the
Engstrum offer, receiving Engstrum
for a brief introduction of his bid and
later examining Butler, who appear
ed as legal adviser for the North
Carolinian. Mr.. Butler said nitrate
and fertilizer production, viewed in
the sense of their relation to the ma
tional defense, was the main object
to be sought, although hydro-electrc
development would not be neglected.
While the former senator did not
refer to the Ford offer by name, he
argued strongly against congressional
action which would permit the princi-
pal water power project in the south
to be controlled by private concern.
New York state had permitted
Niagara to be monopolized, he said,
and the people were up in arms now,
crying for power they could not get.

u. s. ARMY TO BE
REDUCED TO 115,OOO
$50, e,eO0, 900 Will be Slashed From
Budget Estimate in War De-
partment Appropriation.

Washington, March AT least
$50,000,0O0, and possibly $6O,OOO,0OO
will be slashed from the budget esti.
mate for the war department by the
house appropriations subcommittee
which is framing the army appropria-
tion bill for the fiscal year beginning
July l, next, members of the sub
committee predicted tonight.
The measure they added not only
will provide that the enlisted strength
of the army be reduced from its pres
ent strength of $4,000 to $4,000
men on July 1, but that the number
of officers be limited to 1000 as
compared with the present strength
of $4,000 on the active list.
War department estimates were re-
vised and pared down by the budget
bureau to approximately 1868, 10000
for the coming fiscal year. Of this
amount $293,0OO,000 is required for
the army and the rest for non-mili-
tary work, such as Improvements to
rivers and harbors.
The draft of the bill, it was said to-
night, practically had been completed
but must be reviewed by the full COM
mittee which may make changes.
Report Next Week.
Chairman Anthony has said the
measure would be reported next week.
Concern was expressed in army
circles tonight over the prospective
forced reductions. Both Secretary
Weeks and General Pershing recently
urged the subcommittee that pro-
vision be made for an army of 10000
men and the subcommittee in decid-
ing upon 1000 as the maximum of
officers has disregarded the recon-
mendation of General Pershing, who
outlined the plan for wedding out in-
efficient officers to bring the force
of officers down to 10000 in the ex-
pectation of then increasing the Off
Ger personnel to $4,000 by commits
sioning officers in the junior grades.
A reduction of the army to $4,000
enlisted strength, it was pointed out(
by department officials, would mean;
an actual effective force of little more
than 5000 men as the regular turn
over due to expiring enlistments, re-
cruiting, training and other conditions
keeps about 10000 men on the aver
age continually out of active ranks.

FRISCO EMPLOYEES
AFFECTED BY ORDER
approximately 1,50O Members of
Order of Railway Telegraphers
To Receive Decision.

Springfield, March 4.-Approxi-
mately 1900 members of the Order of
Railroad. Telegraphers on the Frisco
system will be affected by the code OF
% rules governing hours and working
conditions handed down yesterday by
the United States Railroad Labor
board. The rules become effective
March 15. Both telegraph and tele-
phone operators are in the order,
throughout the country.
The rules, which virtually constitute
national agreement, will replace
previous fragmentary agreements and
from the first complete set of rules
drawn up primarily by the board.
As a result of the boards decision
many small stations of the country's
$4,000 railway points are expected to
be re-opened.
A number of subjects, including
promotion, discipline, vacations, en-
ergency calls and transfers were re-
manded to the roads and their em-
ployes for further negotiations.
The dispatch announcing the rules
makes no specific mention of the ma
ture of the rules and an official of
the order on the Frisco said that no
hint of the nature of the rules had
been received here, but that full de-
tails would probably be received in
a few daNS.
