 Retrenchment was promised, he there was an irreducible minimum ,, below which our firm could not go,"
 The management cannot bring it. self to believe,' General Harbord de- clared, that you stockholders wish l to perpetuate the vicious circle of false economy bringing unprepared- ness with its train of untold costs in blood and gold compelling further parsimony to bring about repetition of the same ghastly history in time | yet to come. We claim that your board of directors does not know your wishes or if it does, it does not act upon them and substitutes it's judgment for yours. it's judgment con- ceived in the comfortable office of the poitiiac nseeking to prpetuate himself in office-your judgment born under the guns of the enemy and matured in the slime of the trenches and the reek of battle. Under their judgment and with the plea of hard times and the neces- sity for economy our operating capi- tai has been much reduced and our reserve prospects diminished. Our plans for your development during the summer just gone were delayed and hindered by dilatoriness in pass ing the necessary appropriations and a large number of our trained em- ployes were discharged"
 Trying days were ahead, General Harbord said when wildcat schemes of socialism and bolshevism" would seek to impair the standing of the firm in the country and when a much advertised substitute called disarmament presented as panacea for every national ailment from cal louses to consumption" would be offered against the firm line of na- tional insurance.
 This is in the interest of firms who are rivals of ours across distant seas and especially in the Oriental trade" General Harbord warned. Tt is being handled on the market by the same class of irresponsible specu- lators who have for years dabbled in similar fakes and cheap limitations"
 The substitutes for the army's old line insurance would be offered by the smoothest agents in the bust ness General Harbord said including those who in the enthusiasm of newly conferred suffrage and anxious to do good" would urge the substtu- ton with all that fascinating incon- sistency of mingled charms and hys- terics which so often characterizes lovely women-without whose ap- proval no war has ever been waged."
 In conclusion, he said
 We do not wish war any more than the ordinary life insurance company wishes for death or longs for Asiatic cholera, yellow fever, a bloody battle or a sickly season. But no business man cancels his fire insurance policy when there is a confagration raging in the next block.
 See that your represe entatives, our directors here in the nations capitol, know your wishes. and under the lash of your displeasure that they carry them out. Give us a rising market on the army and we proimse you heavy dividends in the next emergency"

 Gen. Harboard pitched his remarks wholly in the language of the com mercial world, saying he did so be- cause the citizen officer to whom he spoke were business and professional men carrying soldering as side line" He described congress as the board of directors of a great holding company controlling the destinies of all government industries, including the army, whose principal business was that of national life and fire in- surance."
 We claim to help guarantee and to guard and to insure the life of our country" General Harbord said "Our firm has been doing this class of business for nearly 150 years in fact, our house flag has flown over us without change fer a longer period than the existence under their present form of incorporation of any of our principal rivals
 Once every 30 years on an average he declared, the business faced a war expansion. He recalled that within five years branch offices" had been opened overseas and over two million special agents sent to Europe under our present general manager Per shing."
 Some of our representatives, he added "closed their accounts with a credit balance in the very morning of their lives and will never come home again."

Navy Yard Case Taken Up.
The navy yard situation, which

industrial conditions in Washington,
