that substitutions are being made at
some gasoline stations and garages

irons by issuing a pledge card TO
dealers asking them to sign the state

this. If a motorist asks for any
trade marked article, he gets the
genuine or a frank statement as to
what article we offer him"
The Bureau plans to give every
dealer in the District of Columbia

against substitution the opportunity
TO sign and display the pledge cards.
Not only are bureau representatives
being sent TO dealers for this pur-
pose. but supply of cards will be
available at the bureau offices for
those dealers who wish to send i'm
for them. 1t is the intention to
cover every retail outlet in the Dis
trict
The bureau also plans to. give out
for publication the list of dealers
who have signed the pledge cards.
In the meantime. it is continuing its
investigation into the substitution
evil, and is securing samples from
supply stations where there is ground
for suspicion and where 1t has had
reports from the public.
Similar cards are being prepared by
the bureau for general distribution
to retail dealers in all other lines
which may be open to the substitu
ton practice. These will be ready

STAFF SEES BIG CUT
10000 Men and 1000 Officers to BE
Affected. Army Predicts.


The general staff of the Army has
concluded that if the 1927 budget is to
be slashed in the interest of economy,
the only course open for the War De
partment is to order corresponding
cut in officers and men. The prospects
of budget reduction and it's effect
upon the national defense system have
been made the subject of various stud
les by the staff Although no authorita-
tive estimate has been made available.
there is a general fear among officials
that from 1000 to 10000 enlisted men
and 900 or 1000 officers will have to
be dropped if allusions TO a big budget
reduction for the Army become an
actual fact.
Former Cut Averted.
Belief that the enlisted strength will
be curtailed by 1000 to 10000 is based,
in addition to current signs, upon the
effort made by Budget Director Lord
last year to reduce the existing pay
allowance for enlisted men from a
1850 man basis to about Ill 900.
Only the stiff resistance of Secretary
Weeks to that proposal saved the
threatened cut then, and il has been
indicated ever since that a new fight
on the same front was impending this
year.
General staff officers have on many
occasions indicated their alarm over
the downward trend of Army appro-
priations since the war, and they re-
gard the proposed cut this year as
particularly serious. since the exhaus-
ton of wartime stores makes ii inn
perative, in their opinion. that there
be a considerably increased outlay for
supplies.
Vigorous protests have been made to
the Budget Bureau by officers charged
with responsibility for the military
