BABE PREPARES
To RENTER THE
YANKEE LINEUP
viii Make His First Appear
ance in a Uniform This
Season Saturday in Game
With the Browns.
(By Tie Associated Press)

New York, May 17.--Twenty
pounds lighter than he was several
weeks ago, Babe Ruth, almost a
bail player again, was putting in
his final preparation today for re-
entering the lineup Saturday in the
game between the Yankees and the
st. Louis Browns.
Alternating with Ruth In the bat

morning--as has been the case
every morning since the Yankees
came home for a long stay-was
Bob Meusel, fellow exile from the
lgame
The bambino believes that he will
break the home run record of fifty
mine that he established last year,
notwithstanding that he is enter
ling the season when 1t is about one
fourth finished, and that he is not
! in the perfect playing form that he
was this time In 1921. Meusel, who
batted out twenty-four four bag
gers last season, was not so CONT"
dent of extending his own record,
"You never can tell" mused Ruth
as he caressed his bat. Accidents
will happen. 1t isn't impossible for
me to beat my last years record.
You never can tell"
Babe said today that he had not
recovered his full strength since his
recent operation for the removal
Of tonsils but that he felt better.
The twenty-pounds that have melt
ed from his body did not disappear
because of the operation. he said.
Babes private opinion is that he
ust lost twenty pounds--1ust lost
'em and he feels better.
Babe is far from worried over the

PAR IS BID BY
A DENVER FIRM
FOR BOND ISSUE

Especial Correspondence TO The Journal }
Las Vegas, N. M, May 17.--Of-
ficials of the town of Las Vegas
are pleased at having received
from Boettcher Porter G Co. of
Denver a bid Of par for bond is
sue of $4,000 for the purpose OF
building a sewer system. The
bonds bear 6 per cent interest and
are payable in 1872. with the op-
ton of payment in 1912. The issue
was approved by II. p. Laurenson,
OF the Denver bond buyers, after a
visit to Las Vegas. There will be
no deductions for any purpose, and
the entire amount is expected to
be in the hands of the town Off
cials by June !.
Mayor Lorenzo Delgado said that
he did not believe it would be long
until bids are asked for. The plans
! for the sewer system have been
drawn by Engineer Vincent Jones
and ]. b. Franzini of Las Vegas
and the system covers the greater
portion of the town. 1t is contem-
plated to use common outlet with
the city of Las Vegas.
The town OF Las Vegas has no
bonded indebtedness. and is be-
lieved to be the only corporation
in the state OF its size. nearly 5000.
without such debt. The floating
Indebtedness is almost nothing. and
has been reduced from about $l2,-
900 in two years. Mayor Delgado
states that the payment OF the dett
was made possible by economy and
by prompt collection of taxes and
licenses. The town has installed
white way Lighting system on
Bridge street and the plaza through
the assistance of business men, and
plans are now under way to make
the plaza real beauty spot. A
landscape gardeners plans will be

100000 MEN IN

Senate Sub. Committee Also
I Sanctions An Average
~ Officer Strength of Ap-
proximately 1880.

Washington, May 17.--An army
or 10000 men with an average Oh
ficer strength for next year of ap-
proximately 1850 was agreed upon
late today by the senate approprla-
tions subcommittee which mas
charge of the measure.
The subcommittee draft OF the
war department appropriation bili
which has yet to be acted upon py
the full committee, proposes IN
.creases of $4,000 in the enlisted
personnel and about 1900 in ottl-
GERS, over the house provisions.
The officer strength is predicated
Upon the bill suggested by Generai
Pershing and his proposals as TO
methods of cutting the present
number of officers were accepted
by the sub committee in principle.

oeptance by the subcommittee

full appropriations committee ana
probably its passage by the SENATE

army is expected also to precipitate
ii battle between the house ana
senate provided the latter sustains
the committee action. The house

appropriation bill, the final vote

GERS and $4,000 men,
The committee was unable TO
determine today the cost of the
service under the size of the army
upon which 1t decided. The pres
ent pay rate expires automatically
June 30 and IL no other provision
is made the pay schedule OF 1908
will go into effect, but bill for a
new basis Of pay has passed the
house and awaits action in the
senate.
Expense Not Estimated.
The exact appropriation required
TO comply with that bill has not
been estimated for the 100000
army. Chairman Wadsworth, Of the
the b-coininittee, plans to seek
action on the new bill late tomor-
row.
Acceptance Of the Pershing pro-
posal affecting the officer strength
would mean, II was said, that a
maximum OF 1900 officers could
be retained after July 1, but at the
end of this year, the number of Of
ficers would be close to 10000.
The Pershing plan contemplates
the retirement of the surplus off
GERS gradually. The house provis-
ion for 1900 officers would have
made it obligatory on the war de-
Dartment to discharge nearly 5000
by June 80 unless about 1000 Of
ficers would have been willing to
accept a reduction in rank in which
event the cut would have been
slightly under 1000.
Only Small Reduction.
The draft was said not to have
included the Philippine scouts,
numbering about 1000 in the
strength of 100000. The figure.
however, is only about 1900 below
the actual strength of the army on
April 1, and will mean, therefore.
only a small reduction in the en-
listed strength which 1t was said
will be accomplished on expiration
of enlistments.

July Set Mem Record in
Petroleum CONSUMPTION

a situation bordering on optl-
miSm Is shown IN the United states
geological survey figures on petrol
cum consumption for July. The
survey estimates hat consumption
IN that month amounted TO 1~,Gb1,460
barrels a day. exceeding tho Jut Q
record by $1,000 barrels, and set-
ting a new high mark for all time.
The total amount OF crude going
into domestic use In July was 5l,-
$4,000 barrels, against 4S,l92,COO
barrels in June.
Production. according 10 tho same
authority, decreased to 1903, 0p0
daily, which was 1888 barrels n
day less than the June average. To-
tai for the month was 46,b99,000. II
liz interesting 10 note in this connec-
ton that, were Il not for the oil Inn
ported from Mexico. there would be
a very serious shortage OF crude.
Less crude was imported In July
than in June, recoipta averaging
364,773 barrels. as against 10000
barrels a day In June. The total
volume in July was II ,3O7,974, a.
against 12,iS1,S53 barrels In June.
Stocks OF domestic crude on July
81 were 23S,316,000 barrels, a gain
Of ~6.2S4.000 barrels during the
month. Including the 23,1G2.O00
barrels OF Mexican crude held In the
United states, the total OF crude In
storage at the beginning OF August
was 2G1,47s,000 barrels, exceeding
that OF June 80 by ~b.66i,000 bar
rcls. Based on the daily rate OF con-
sumption, these stocks constituted
1853 days supply, az against ia
days supply on April 80. The ratio
declined to 15a davs' supply on May
81, and tho supply at the beginning
OF July was equivalent to 1bg days
OF consumption at the rate then pre-
vailing.
These figures indicate that there
Is n remedy for the present situa'
