ASKS A LUMP SUM
TO MAINTAIN ARMY
Gen. Harbord Proposes That
War Department Then Sub
nit a Program.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ia suggestion
that Congress fix upon a lump sum ap-
preparation it is prepared to vote for
maintenance of the regular army for
the next fiscal year and then ask the
War Department TO work out q plan
that would yield the maximum of mill
tary efficiency widlin that expenditure
was laid to-day before the House Sub
committee on Army Appropriations.
Major-Gen. Harbord, Deputy Chief of
Staff, was the only officer heard, as
Secretary Weeks was still indisposed,.
His appearance with Gen. Pershing has
been deferred until next week.
Committee members said Gen. Har-
bord had advanced the lump sum APP
preparation suggestion in view of the
evident desire of the committee TO OBJ
tain an idea of what would be done with
the army in the event of reduction or
the authorized enlisted strength below
the present 10000 figure.
SO far as known the War Department
has received no hint of the curtailment
Of army funds the appropriation COM
mittee has in mind this year. 1t has
been rumored. however, that Chairman
Anthony of the subcommittee has been
figuring on reducing the enlisted force to
1ZU,UUU tueilI WIIl6 lilN CtASi wv
bers of his committee favored reduction
To 100000.
The department is known TO have
been asked informally at least for re-
ports on the distribution of forces II
would make in case of either of these
reductions or of cut to $4,000 next
year.
Those studies have been made ana
show, it is understood, that while con-
siderable number of less essential posts
and stations could be closed entirety II
would be necessary to apply the cut
through the army generally in cases OF
a radical reduction in strength and vir-
tually make each army activity just
about half as effective as 1t Is to-day.
This cannot be done without Con-
gressional approval, however, as the
army is specifically directed by existing
law to carry on all the work it is now
doing. Gen. Harbord's suggestion Is
that the process be reversed and that
Congress inform the army how much
it is willing to provide and let the war
Department work out and present for
Congressional approval under that linn
itation a program.

Helped.

BY the end OF the current mouth the

and 100000 children in the famine
scourged districts OF Russia, or about
half the number Col William N. Haskell
and his associates believe to be in i'm
mediate danger BY the opening #
spring the American Relief Association
will have exported TO Russia enough
seed to solve the food problem. pro-
vided 1t is properly distributed and
sowed and good crop follows.
The foregoing was the encouraging
picture of the Russian situation drawn
Yesterday by George Barr Baker, Sec
retary Hoovers chief assistant In the
direction Of Russian relief work, VINO
returned on Wednesday from a trip OF
Inspection to Moscow. Mr.. BakeI gave
some interesting details OF the methods
adopted by the Moscow and allied Soviet
Governments to help themselves in the
hope OF gaining recognition by the Amer
lean Government. He made 1t plain.
however, at the same time that 1t was
not his function or that of the American
Relief Association to recommend Amer
lean recognition or to take any part IN
discussions of a political or otherwise
controversial nature affecting Russia.
1.-THE astounding thing about Russia
to-day" Mr.. Baker said at the offices
of the American Relief Association, AZ
Broadway, "is the women. If / were
predicting anything l would say that
the salvation OF Russia will come
through her women, because they have
a magnificent courage, persistence ana
are willing to work. They are like our
Southern women at the end Of the civil
war"
While he was speaking a cable came
to relief headquarters telling OF the safe
arrival at Riga yesterday of four SHIPS
with 10000 tons of corn for adult food
The fact led Mr.. Baker to the announce
ment that Of a total of $52,000,o0O ex-
pended for seed grain for Russia by the
American Relief Association, $10,00o,-
600 had been contributed by the Soviet
Government of Moscow and $2,OOO,OO0
by that OF the Ukraine.
The money, in the form of 10 and 10
ruble gold pieces minted by the former
Czarist regime, was turned over to the
American officials, melted down ana
credited to the Russian relief fund.
The Russian railways are in a very
chaotic state, Mr.. Baker said, with ur-
gent need for more locomotives and re-
pair shops. He thought it doubtful II
indeed any greater distribution of food
could be accomplished than that pro-
vided for now owing to the difficulties
in this respect.
