personal integrity OF any Of those
involved"
1t is we'll known here. and has been
for months, that since the Harding Ad-
ministration came into Office many COM
plants have been made to Secretary
Mellon and to the President against Di-
rector Wilmeth and his organization
on the ground that they were not only
politically out of sympathy with the
Republican Administration. but were
going out of their way to make things
unpleasant for Republicans who had
worked in the 1920 campaign against
Woodrow Wilson.
Mr.. Wilmeth as is we'll known, is a
Democrat. Certain former women en-
ployees Of the bureau have complained
that they were ousted by Mr.. Wilmeth
because he did not like the fact they
had taken active part in the 1920 cam
pagn for the Republican ticket. Com
plants of this kind have been carried
to the Maryland Republicans in Con-
gress and once were laid before Sena-
tor Penrose of Pennsylvania. Senator
Penrose, it is known, viewed the Will
meth administration as loyal to the for
lner Wilson Administration rather than
the present one.
Closely connected with the removal
Of the Bureau Of Engraving officials
are the persistent complaints OF Re
publicans in Congress that the depart
ments are being run by what they call
Democratic cliques Of men who owed
their advancement to the Wilson and
McAdoo regimes. It is frequently al
legged these so-callcd cliques are still
in close touch with Joseph ?. Tumulty
former private secretary to the Presl-
dent, and other prominent Democrats
Further, it is alleged that some of the
Democrats still in high places are max

tial and non-political advancement OF

were under heavy fire from many cf
the deputies. while BRAND. on the floor
and no longer able to defend himself
with authority from the government
bench, held up his end of the arru-
ment The treaty debate was charac-
terized by Premier Poincarc as prcma
ture, but this did not prevent the level
ling of broadsides at BRAND.
1t was charge that ne had won first
prize in oratory IN Washington, but
meanwhile had sunk the French feet
that brought BRAND to his feet. He
insisted that France had retained full
liberty of action as far as the terms of
the naval treaty were concerned.
Frances demand for capital ship ton
mage of 100000 had been subject to
concessions, he admitted, but he OK
planned that this had been only a thco-
retical program. BRAND repeated the
denial made in Washington several
days ago that he had tried to engineer
Franco american alliance against the
British.
Extreme Left Hoots BRAND
Leon Daudct, royalst, referred sar-
castically to Brands oratory. and
shouted: France paid dearly for your
trip to Washington and for your dec-
slons at Cannes. You are one of the
accused The extreme left greeted this
with boots.
BRAND. who had been interrupted
continued:
Before the conference in Washing.
ton the capital ship tonnage of the
ct0
l,loO,000; United States, /, $50 900; ia.
pan, 100000; France, about 400 900
ms is proportion Of about 6 to ]
After the conference this tonnage
stood: Great Britain, 100000; United
states. 10000; Japan. $50, 900; France
2lS,ooo. The proportion has beer
changed in our favor to az to L."
This explanation seemed TO placate
the Deputies who have threatened to
demand revision Of the naval treaty
"nen it is considered in the neal
future, and BRAND was able to go on
without further interruption, Justify
ing the part played by the French
delegates in Washington He pointed
out mat no one had yet been able to
determine, even on the basis of war
experience, what type of warship was
best. Therefore, he said, France had
retained her liberty OF action, land she
had guarded this liberty com plctely.'
Submarines Not Mentioned
He did not mention the subject of
submarines and light cruisers, but said
his whole program at Washington had
been worked out with the full knowl-
edge that any treaty must be ratified
by parliament before it would be effect
i've.
"Tho Chamber will have occas sion to
indicate what sort of a navy it wants
to impose on this country" BRAND
added.
Opening a defense of his discusso ons
with Lloyd George at Cannes, tho for
mer Premier ran into deeper water
and was continually assailcd from the
right He warned that TO Franco the
Genoa conference was an absolute
necessity and that the country would
run greater risks by staying out than
by going in. Europe, he said. Was pre-
pairing to reorganize economically. ard
the greatest danger to France was in
not being on the inside. With full guar
antics obtained from the Bolsheviki, he
thought there would be no danger in

reached Riga, and they would like to
know who was responsible for the cir
culation Of the report.
The Moscow leaders smiled when
they were shown the statement Pre-
mler Poincare was reported to have
made in the Chamber Of Deputies yes
terday saying he had been approached
by Soviet emissaries seeking resump-
ton of relations with the French gov
crnment. The Soviet officials termed
M. Polncarc's statement as ridcE-
lous concoction calculated to serve as
a smoke screen for French insncerity
and to mislcad world opinion.

Smaller Military
Forces Seems Sure
ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON, March 21-Reduc-
tion of the numerical strength of the
army is certain unless the senate dew
elops a sentiment for an army of $780,,
900 strong enough to overcome the
objections of the members of the low
er house.
Secretary OF War Weeks has been
sounding out sentiment in conference
with various congressional leaders
and says he can see little prospect OF
the house agreeing to a larger armed
force than 115,000 enlisted men. He
expressed the hope that the senate
will insist on a force of 10000.
The House appropriation subcom
mittee has made drastice cuts in the
estimate of needs for the navy depart
ment The bill which will be report
ed out Saturday provided for $1,000 in
stead of 10000 enlisted men as rec
commended by the navy department
and carries $2O0,00O,000 instead o
$3.50, 100000. 1t authorizes the com
missioning of only 15S of the Sal il
the class that will be graduated from
Annapolis in June.

Military Honors
Rendered Mattos
Body of Maui Boy Who Was
Killed on the Field of Ac-
ton Brought Home and
Laid to Final Rest

Anthony r. Mattos, the only son of
Maui. so far as the records show,
who laid down his life for world safe
ty in France, was laid to rest in Kuao
cemetery Sunday afternoon with mi
litary honors. His funeral pageant
was the longest the Paia district has
seen in many years and was one that
will be long remembered. The pro
cession from house to church is esti-
mated to have been nearly half a
mile in length and in it was the Maui
branch of the American Legion and
the Lahaina national guard company
under command of Captain Bowker.
Time for preparations for the fune-
raj of Mattos were short for it was
not known certainly when the body,
brought to the Islands by the trans
Logan, would be sent here from Ho-
nolulu, but short as was the time the
arrangements were excellent and
were perfectly carried.
At the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Pc
dro Ramos his uncle and aunt the
flag draped casket was brought out
upon the lanai and American Legion
services were conducted with E. B.
Wicke presiding and w. F. Crockett,
Jr. acting as chaplain. A prayer was
also offered by the catholic priest.
Then the body was taken in charge
by the National guard and escorted
from house to church where the cath
olic services were conducted by Rev.
Father Justin and there was singing
by quartet of the catholic brothers
Again the casket was taken in
charge of the military and carried
from church to the grave where there
were further catholic services and
ceremonies by the American Legion
Members of the latter removed the
flag as the caskot was lowered into
the grave and gave it to the aunt
and uncle of Mattos. Then a firing
squad of eight fired volley over the
grave of the dead hero and the sad
and solemn notes of taps" from two
bugles sounded forth on the air and
the ceremonies ended :.
Every former officer and most oI
the privates of the war time days
who are on Maui and were within
reach of Paia attended the ceremo
nies and the Lahaina company of the
National Guard was brought over il
motor trucks under arrangements o.
Captain BOwker. The ceremonies
were sad and solemn but beautlfu
in their simplicity at the final home
coming of the heroic son of Maui.

Resents
Senate Attacks
Denies Secret Agreement with
Britain and Hopes no Fur
ther Unwarranted Asper-
sions Will Be Cast
ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON, March 21-Repub-
lican party leaders held protracted
conference with President Harding at
the White House last evening the
Four Power treaty being discussed
at length. Among the conferees
were Lodge, John S. Adams, chair
man of the Republican national com
mittee, Senator Mccormack, chair
man of the Republican senatorial
committee and Senator Curtis, the
Republican whip" The presence of
such party chiefs caused an inference
that the probable effect of the trea-
ties upon the next congressional elec-
tions was the subject under discus
sion but some of those present said
the primary purpose of the meeting
was to give Harding the latest line
up on the treaties and their ratifica-
tiop. 1t was said that they assured
Harding that there were sufficient
votes for the ratification. Harding
is said to have again intimated his
approval of the foreign relation COM
mittee's reservation that mo alliance
is constituted"
alter the President met with De
mocratic senators, Smith of South
Carolina and Kendrick. Neither the
subjects discussed nor the results of
the conference were announced.
Yesterday Senator Robinson at
tackled the treaty in its present form
as dangerous. He urged amendments
binding the .signatories against any
other secret pacts.
Borah criticised the Shantung
agreement and said that China could
not redeem Shantung under the
terms laid donw at the conference. He
predicted that Japan will never re
lease Shantung.
Secretary Hughes has sent letter
to Secretary Lodge fatty denying thu
charges that were made yesterday il
the senate to the effect that secre
understanding relative to future con
duct in he Pacific was reached be
ween the delegates of the Unite,
States and Britain during the arm
limitation conference He said h
hoped he would see no more casper
sions cast upon the honor and vera
city of the American delegates.
Hughes letter was presented to tn
senate by Lodge and has precipitate
new and warmer debate on the fou
power pact.

Attorney General
Says Contract For
Alae Road Invalid

Pilikia has arisen over the contract
for the Alae Homestead road for
which the board of supervisors as
agent for the land board made the
award at its last meeting. Work on
the contract was started by J. G.
Freitas, to whom the award was
made for $13,S0O.
This morning a letter came from c.
T. Bailey, commissioner of public
lands, to County Attorney Bevins say
ing that the attorney general had re-
fused to approve the contract as to
form and that the conract must be
between the County of Maui and the
contractor as under Act III the land
commission could not let a contract
to third party. The work if done
by the county would have to be at
cost as provided by law. He asks
the board of supervisors to reject all
bids.
Work on the Alae homestead road
has been held back for a long time
because the county held it must do
the work or would not assume respon-
sibility for it while Bailey insisted
that the county should act as agent
for the land commission. Finally the
supervisors receded from their posi-
tion, advertised for tenders and let
the contract.
Just what the outcome will be re-
mains to be determined.

Baldwin's Help For
Foresters is Told
At Hilo Meeting

Speaking in Hilo last Thursday
night Representative M. G. Paschoal
told his hearers some of the things
of Foresters. He is quoted in the
Hilo Tribune in part as follows;
I'VE have the Order OF Foresters on
Maui, just as you have here, and last
year we thought it time we had a
home, for We had been homeless all
before that. We went to Baldwin for
a piece of land at Kahului, and we re
ceived a lot on the main street absO-
lutely free of cost. Then we raised
$4,000 among our members, and We
are not rich men; We are laborers.
We asked for bids for our building;
the lowest was S3S,000 and the highest
was $4,000. We could not go ahead.
and again the boys asked me to call
on Baldwin and see if he could help
us. He called the carpenter of the
plantation, asked him to go over the
plans and told me to call next day
l did, and he told me he would give
me everything from the Kahului rail
way at cost and have the plantation
men erect our building for us. Then
he turned to the carpenter and said,
Go ahead!' That was in February
and in June il was completed, includ-
ing all our furniture and piano and
| the total cost was little less than
$4,000. We saved practically $4,000
and that was for the poor man. Mr..
Baldwin did not know then that he was
going to run for Congress; II was
done for the poor man"

Doughboys on Rhine
Will Return by July

WASHINGTON, March 20-(Asso-
ciated Press)-Secretary of War,
Weeks, has issued orders directing
all American troops on the Rhine to
be returned to the United States by
July first. Weeks explained that his
action was merely a continuation of
his policy previously announced for
the withdrawing of troops. He said
he was not Influenced by the status
of the Army legislation recently en-
acted by congress or controversy
over the payment by Germany for the
upkeep of the troops while on her
territory.
Opposes Reduction.
Secretary Weeks flatly opposed
the House committees proposal to
cut the army to 115,000. He said the
War department recommended 150,.
900 including 10000 Philippine scouts
and was convinced that the army
would not be safe below that figure
Weeks told the committee that there
was about 100000 men in the service
at present. He also took a sharp is.
sue with the committees proposal to
limit the size of the garrision in Ha
waii and Panama and said he would
not accept responsibility for any re
ductions in these garrisions but that
he felt differently regarding the Phi
| ilipine garrisions wherewith 10000 oi
the PHILIPPINE constabulary are avail
able and where its military defense
is covered in the pending treaties
FIe said il appeared that reductions
might be possible.
