This Nation in 18th Place in
Point Of Actual Army
Strcngih-One Soldier to
Every 900 Persons.
Russia Largest Force

VUtuUn W. bT"~"u V"ss
Washington. May 29.-The War
department, today submitted stats.
ties TO illustrate how the United
States is leading the world in dis
armament.
This nation. which raised an army
OF l,0OO.000 men for the world war,
now stands in lith place in the list
OF armies OF the world in point OF
actual numerical strength, and IN
18th place il the size OF the army Is
compared to the total population OF
the country.
According to the War department.
comparison. which is based on the
present strength of the army and
not the lower. figures that will OBJ
tain when the new army bill becomes
law. Russia has the largest army in
the world, force of 100000 men.
China is second with l.0S5,000 mcu,
and France is third with an army OF
$4,000.
Other Nations.
The other armies included in the
comparison are are follows:
Abyssinia. 81 900; Grece. $4,000;
Japan. 100000; Poland, 100000; Italy,
250,000; Great Britain. 2S7,50O: India,
22l 600: Spain, 2l6.0O0; Turkey. 1885,
500; Roumania, 10000, and the
United States, $4,000.
In view OF the decision oi the
league OF nations at Geneva recently
that nothing can be done at present
towards general reduction OF land
ornaments, these figures are regard
ed in official quarters here with par
ticular interest. Other statistics that
have been worked out throw interest
ing light upon the comparative bur-
den borne by European populations
and Americans for the upkeep of mill
itary organizations. In the United
States. the analysis shows, there is
approximately one soldier to every
900 persons, contrasted with the state
ment often made that every Euro
pean adult "has to carry a soldier
on his back"
One to Every Is Miles.
1t is estimated that in the United
States there is but. one soldier for
every $2,000000 of wealth and one
soldier for every 25 square miles OF
territory.
Army experts also emphasize the
fact that practically all the Euro
pcan powers, and Japan as well, have
compulsory military service with
guarantees that every able-bodied
youth will receive military training
when he comes of age. Thus, they
point out, despite the world cry for
disarmament, the European nations
and Japan are actually building up
great army reserves which are sub
ject to mobilization upon short no.

Plan Predicted
Informal Canvass Shows Sen.

With Notifications.

Washington. May 29.-Approval
blythe senate finance committee on
Wednesday OF soldiers bonus bill.
following closely along the lines OF
the house measure with its bank loan
provision, was predicted today by
members of that committee, after the
subject had been discussed for near
ly two hours.
An informal canvass OF the conf
mittcc indicated that the members
were diyidcd. 9 to 6 for the house
measure with some notifications

members, all republicans, were re-
ported to favor the Smoot PROPOSE
ton of paid-up life insurance for the
veterans in lieu OF all other forms OF
compensation. while one committee
man. Senator Williams. democrat,
Mississippi, was understood to be
opposed to any bonus legislation.
Whether a land reclamation pro-
Vision is to be instituted in the Nc
Cumber plan is an open question and
consequently it NAV be some time
before bonus bill is reported to the
senate. Chairman McCumber is anx-
ious. however, that the bill be report
ed out in the Immediate future and
he expects to press for action as
speedily as is possible.
After reaching the senate the bill.

senate calendar. to remain until call
ed up bv Senator McCumber. There
is difference of opinion among re-
pub1cans as to whether the bonus
should displace the tariff bill at any
time. so the probably time at which
the senate will get into the bonus
fight is indefinite.
Senator McCumber is of the opin-
ion that the senate can dispose of
the measure with few days Of con-
sideration but this view is not shared
by all leaders.
Long Discussion Expected.
Opponents ia bonus in any form
as we'll as opponents of the amended
house bill are prepared for long
discussion of the question.
Both the McCumber and Smoot
plans have been outlined in some
detail to President Harding, with
view of obtaining an expression of
opinion from him, but the committee
went ahead today with their CON-
sideration without having received
any word from the executive. Pro-
ponents of the McCumber proposition
believe that he will approve that form
of bonus if passed by congress, but
publicly at least. the president has
given no indication of a change of
mind since he told the house ways
and means committee to finance the
bouns with sales tax or postpone
enactment of the legislation.
