WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-General
Pershing took the leadership today in
opposition to the reduction Of the en-
listed strength of the regular army
when he told the house military com
mittee that under present conditions,
both at home and abroad, the total
regular force is the least that we
should think of maintaining, especial
ly when we consider the manifold du-
ties it is called upon to perform and
it is urgently recommended that no
further reduction be made
Under the pressure of economic
conditions, the size of the regular army
was restricted by the appropriation
act of 1921 to 10000 men," said Gen
eral Pershing. 'fThis requires reor-
ganization and readjustment have now
beer connsess.d About 17s0Oo. iaclud-.
ing one peace strength division and
coast defense troops, have been al
lotted to 'She philippine Islands, $4,000
similarly. organized to the Hawaiian
Islands, and 12,500 to the Panama
Canal Zone. This leaves slightly over
100000 for service within the United
States, from which must be deducted
the army of occupation in Germany.
OF those at home there are combat
troops organized actively into three
infantry divisions, one cavalry divis-
ion, with some unattached brigades
and regiments. Omitting the staff or
ganizations and coast defense troops,
they would, when completed number
20, 600 to $4,000 troops for field service.
These troops constitute our expedi-
tionary forces to meet any sudden
emergency, and serve to protect our
borders, when available they may as
sist in the instruction of the national
guard and reserves in their respec-
tive areas, these home troops have a
very important function to fulfill as
a reliable national police force.
1.-THE regular troops within the Unit
ed States proper, available for imme-
diate service, constitute less than one
tenth of one per cent Of the entire pop
ulation."
After Chairman Mckenzie had de-
clared that although the subcommit-
scores of army tracts did not wish TO
do anything that would cripple or de-
stroy" the efficiency of the military
service, it felt that further economies
must be put into effect by either cut
ting down the size of the army or the
number of camps and the activities
undertaken by. various units, General
Pershing asserted that he was opposed
''to this vocational training stuff"
Side line activities, he added, should
be disposed with.
Chairman Kahn remarked there was
a feeling in the house that altogether
too much money was being used for
military purposes.
That's a condition that confronts
this committee" he declared. I'VE are
anxious to carry out the recommenda-
tions of the war department when
they appear well advised, but must
admit that in the past year we were
beaten on several propositions on the
floor of the house"

WOULD CONDUCT
WORLD BUSINESS
ON CREDIT BASIS
Proposes a Bank of Nations With

jority Stakeholder.
AMERICA TO HAVE THE
MAJORITY OF DIRECTORS
Credit Represents the Difference
Between the Vast Busi-
A ness Enterprises.
tny rhe A,soeIated pre..l

NEW YORK, Jan. 1s.-A bank of
nations, with the United States as ma
iority stockholder, an international
trade dollar" as a substitute for gold
and conduct OF world business on a
credit instead OF cash basis, were adj
vocated by United States Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska in an address
today before the American Manufac-
turers' Export association here
Senator Hitchcock discussed a bill
which he has introduced in the senate
providing for establishing such bank
OF nations, with S2,400. 100000 capital.
The United States, he said, would hold
1900, 000,0 900 of the stock and bankers,
importers and exporters of this coun-
try another 100000. 900. leaving the re-
naming s90O,000,000 to be purchased
by the leading nations of the world
through the president.
The United States, by virtue of it's
stockholdings would choose 13 of the
(. banks "a directors. Headquarters
would bo al New York The directors
would have power to issue currency to
be known as the international dollar.
which would eliminate the continual
shipment of gold between countries,
Asserting that credit represents the
difference between the vast business
enterprises of civilized man and the
Insignificant operations of primitive
man." Senator Hitchcock told the
association that practical collapse of
commerce is due to the fact that ma
tions are trying to do business for
cash"
Nations, within their own boun-
daries, conduct nine-tenths of their
business on credit, the senator said,
adding that IL the United States or any
other nation suddenly was compelled
70 do business for cash there would be
an enormous shrinkage of business.
Business between this country and Eu-
rope has been slashed in half in sin
gle year, he asstered, because Amer
lea demands cash on delivery and Eu-
rope cannot pay.
Speaking of the enormous amount of
gold now in the United States banks,
Senator Hitchcock said:
1--WE ought to use 1t as a basis for
currency and seize this opportunity to
make the international dollar the
money OF the world. the medium of ex-
change between countries. If we do
not do this our gathering OF all the
gold here in the United States is
worse than folly. 1t would be almost
an international crime. WE are play
ing dog in the manger with it. We
have drawn IL here and we have very
much more than we are using"

"There is much larger number of
tourists from the Pacific coast going
to eastern points this year than ever
before" said Mr.. Holbein.

ROAD BIDS ARE
$4,000 BELOW
THE ESTIMATES
Morton County Board Opens
Bids for Road From West End
OF the New River Bridge
ENGINEERS ARE PLEASED
Low Bids Enable Completion of
Work at Great Saving Over
The Expected Road Cost

Bids for the contracts in the con-
struction of the highway from Mandan
to the new vehicular bridge over the
Missouri river were opened yesterday
afternoon by the Morton county COM
missioners, the Burlaigh county repre-
scntativcs, two federal representatives,
and state representatives at Mandan.
According to officials the lowest COM
bination Of bids was $53,O5359 with
W. L. Chaplin of Mcintyre, S. D., bid
ding $21 ,63321 for grading; d. A. An.
derson of Baldwin, bidding $1O,S25.6o
for rip-rapping; Joe Simons of Man
dan bidding $6,040.41 for the reinforced
concrete work; Sylvester and Daley of
Mandan, bidding $14,554.32 for gravel
ing. .. ...
All the bids were protected by GER
tilted check Although this was the low
est combination of bids made by various
bidders from all over the country, it
was not decided which bids will be &C
cepted. The officials will have until
Tuesday, June 20, in which to consider
the, bids. The commissioners and Of
ficials will meet at o'clock Thursday
morning when they will announce their
decision.
The lowest combination of bids was
$4,000 under the estimated cost, which
was made up last winter, according to
w. H. Robinson, state engineer. In re-
cent bids on road work in various parts
of the state contractors have cut great
ly under winter estimates, due to drop
in cost of materials and labor. Officials
were highly pleased at the prospect OF
getting the Mandan road built at such
low cost as was represented in the
bids yesterday.
AS the great volume Of road work IS
coming on as result Of reduced prices
it is felt that the bids given to the
Morton county board are lower than
bids which might be submitted at lat
er date.
The Haggart Construction Company
will Law asphalt on the new bridge
about July /, so that it will be ready
for use as soon as the Morton county

G. O. p. Oppose Measure


Washington, June 16.-With Re-
publican members Of the house Mer--
chant Marine committee understood
to have virtually agreed to oppose
the proposal to stop the sale of Ii
quor on American ships by deny
ing the federal aid provided in the
subsidy bill to ships on which such
sale is made, another amendment to
the bill proposing a fine for the sale
of liquor on any ship during a voy-
age starting or ending at an Ameri-
can port was before the committee
today for consideration. A..
The latter proposal, offered by Re-
preventative Edmonds, Republican
Pennsylvania, as substitute for the
first amendment presented by Repre-
sentative Bankhead, Democrat, Ala
bama, would have the effect Of put
ting American ships on parity with
those Of other nations which do not
have prohibition. In addition to pro-
yiding fine of $4,000 for the first
and second offense, the final penalty
would be to prohibit the entrance OF
a ship to American ports. After the
proposal was discussed by majority
committee men yesterday, the view
was expressed in some quarters that
it conflicted with many of the ma
tion's commercial treaties.
Meanwhile. in the executive branch
there had been no developments be-
yond the indication at the treasury
department that Attorney General
Daugherty might be asked soon for
ruling on the legality of liquor
selling on American ships. In this
connection Mr.. Daugherty said that
if such a request was made it would
be acted on as speedily as possible.
