Great Expenditures
Prior To Entering War
Due To Lack of Unpre-
paredness

Washington. March 17.-Warning
members of Congress that false
economy is the poorest kind of econ
omy." Chairman Kahn of the House
military affairs committee declared
today during the consideration of the
army appropriation bill that a reduc-
ton in the size of the regular army
to $4,000 enlisted men and 1000 Of.
fcers. as proposed in the measure,
would be altogether too drastic a cut
at this time"
The California senator held that the
pay provisions should be made for
10000 men and 10000 officers during
the coming fiscal year, as requested
hy the war department or if Congress
were determined to direct a reduc-
tiCn in the interest of economy that
the enlisted strength should not be
decreased below 100000 men.
Lately it has seemed to become
profitable on the part of good many
of the men in Congress to insist on
cutting down the allowances for ou.
army and navy" Mr.. Kahn said
Economy is the watchword of good
many legislators but let me call the
attention of the house to the fact that
false economy is the poorest kind of
economy"
Reviewing the military situation
prior to the entrance of the United
States into the world war, the chair
man asserted that "by reason Of our
lack of preparedness. we were COM
PEELED to expend during the 10
months we were in the war the start
ling sum of $24,000,0000 900.
When compared with the eXpendi.
lures of the American people for
pleasure or non-essential commodi
ties. the outlay for military purposes
"sink into comparative insignif-
cance," he contended as he quoted a
variety of statistics.
Comparing the expenditures of the
United States during 192O-21 on its
army with that expended by other ma
tioDs, Mr.. Hahn said the United
States expenditures totaled $343,155.-
SOB or 1922 per capita while those Of
the British empire exclusive Of de.
tendencies amounted to 1852, 1890
or $12.35 per capita; France 1888 3,927,-
900 or $22.52 per capita; Italy $246,-
0S1.200 or $3.50 per capita, and Japan
$3.50 900 or S3.3S per capita.
"These figures show that we are ex.
ceedingly mindful of the welfare Of
our people in keeping down military
costs and expenditures" declared the
speaker.
Contrasting with other leading pow
ers the size of the army in compari-
son with the population. Mr.. Kahn
said that for the year 1921 the num-
ber in the American army was LAP
Der 1000 population, while the num-
Der in Great Britain was 734 France
14.47; Italy SIT; Japan and China
4.03.
The army appropriation bill, which
until a year ago was drafted annually
by the committee of which Mr.. Kahn
is chairman, was framed under the
new rules of the House, by a sub-com-
Dittee of five members of the appro
rriations committee, headed by Rep
resentative Anthony, Republican,

ALWAYS A NEW WAY

Miami, March IA new method
Of packing liquor for shipment north
was uncovered by officers near Or
ange Glade several days ago when
they raided a packing house and
seized 11S quarts of high grade whis-
key. George Wheatley, arrested in
the raid, admitted that he was pack
ing the whiskey in boxes of grape
fruit, the officers said. In each box
were two small compartments, in
each end, and layers of grapefruit
were placed on each side OF the
compartments, making it impossible
to distinguish the box OF fruit from
an ordinary crate, unless it was
opened for examination. Each COM

CT Speaker Gillette, regarding the
procedure in calling up the soldier
Eonus bill on he floor. The speaker,
who decided late yesterday to return
to Washington today instead of l5-

disposed to rule adversely on mo-
tiCn 10 bring up the bonus legisl&-
tion Monday under suspension of
the rule contemplated in The plan OF
some house leaders.
Chairman Fordney OF the house
ways and means committee who L
vors the rules suspension program
said that if the speaker held against
it at today's conference he would
proceed with plans 20 bring the
measure up under 4 special rule
next Tuesday if such a rule could be
obtained. Speaker Gillette, in dic-
ccussing the matter before leaving
st. Augustine yesterday, was said 10
have favored the latter plan in e.
pressing his belief that the impoT-

the house should have time to con-

Upon the outcome of the confer

leaders depended whether those mem
bers who want the Dill open to

ask for a conference of house repuh-
licans to consider the whole question
of procedure. Representative Lin
berger of California, a former serv-
ice man, who yesterday secured six
ty signatures to a petition for such
Il conference, or ten more than re-
quired under the rules, said the petit
tion would be presented ii it was de-
cided to consider the bill under

Human Life Too Short.

BY all the rules which nature OBJ

years ought to be a very ordinary age
for a human being. Where is the

short by accident or disease, fails to
live to an age five times as great as
the time it took to reach maturity? A
fairly careful survey of he field an

Of total life to maturity is more likely
to be six, seven or eight, than five.
