of the army resulting from congress
sionaI action have brought two ex-
tremely difficult problems to War de-
partment chiefs for solutions that

Into anything like full effect the p1o-
gram for national defense included in

Tune 4, 1920"
Regarding the enlisted strength OF
the army, the report said:
The small pay OF the recruit and
he REMARKABLY high wages paid for
labor OF all kinds throughout the
Unked States have greatly Gscour
aged enlistment, but since the close
Of the fiscal year another obstacle has
arisen equally serious. In the get
making appropriations for the War
department for the fiscal ear ending
June 80, 1924, the following appears:
THAT no part of the funds herein
appropriated shall be utilized for re-
cruiting or enlistment, unless the ap-
plicant furnishes a birth certificate
or the affidavit of two disinterested
witnesses showing such applicant for
enlistment to be ~twenty-one years of
age.'
For many Of the men who seek to
join the army it is very difficult, If
not impossible, to furnish the re-
CURED evidence of their and they
are prone to make no effort to obtain
it. Others, plainly over twenty-one;
resent the imputation that their word
is not good and angrily give up the
idea of enlistment.
"To maintain the army at it's re-
duced strength of 125,OOO, it is neces-
sary before January 1, 1924, to enlist
and r~e-enlist about 10000 men, and
approximately $4,000 between Janu-
airy ] and June so, 1924"
