CAMBRIDdE, Mass. Dec. 1.--Nearly two
and half million miles an hour, or
1,1oo kilometers u second. is the ex-
traordinary speed at which the star RE-
Cephei is moving through space, accord
ing to bulletin issued by the Harvard
College Observatory. This star has been
found by Harvard astronomers to have
greater velocity than any other the
speed OF which has yet been determined.
RE- Cephei. a variable star OF the So
called cluster type, has long been known
10 astronomers. but its velocity was
never measured until recently. 1t is far
too faint to be seen with the naked eye,
being OF the tenth magnitude. 1t Is in
the constellation Cepheus, and is $500
light years distant from the earth. which
means that the light from It which
astronomers now see through their tele-
scopes started on it's journey to the
earth in the time OF the shepherd kings
of Egypt nearly nineteen hundred years
before Christ.
The speed of the star was measured

Big Needless Sacrifices From

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-The present
authorized regular army strength of
10000 officers and $4,000 mon is
inadequate" for national safety and
further cuts would be "inexcusable, y
Secretary Weeks declared to-day in
his annual report to Congress.
I'VE should seize the first oppor-
tunity to bring the regular army back
to the proportions which are required
he wrote I'VE cannot ever again
make the mistake of expecting good
soldiers to rise overnight and good
officers to be turned out in quantities
in three months periods.
I'VE are making progress. and any
progress is good progress. This prog
ress is. however scant, and not really
enough. Any further cuts would force
US to lose what we have gained and
would accordingly be inexcusable.
1T has taken time and money to build
what we have. 1t has taken blood and
money to prove that we have not even
now what we need. We should when
practicable add to what We have and
attain to the progress called for in Our
defense project under the terms of the
law"

my conclusions are not entirely well

IF IL is unwelcome, IL is no less true
that Americans, like all other peoples

those nations who fail to prepare for

I'VE are right to feel confident in our
strength. But We shall never deserve

painful eradication OF defects. A true

AS to the technical preparations Of the
army since the war ne said: In
nearly all directions we have proved our
ability to develop equipment that is in

direction OF air development we have
shown progress In types.
'In spite OF this gratifying progress.
we are behind our program in several
