That the War Department has reached
the limit of safety in furnishing officers
and men for training duties with the
two junior components of the Army of
the United States is strikingly illus
trated in the departments refusal to
approve the applications from over 60
colleges for instructors for r. o. II. c.
units. To show the increasing interest
which is being evinced in r. o. r. c.
units. the War Department has received
between so and 60 informal inquiries
from various educational institutions
which would establish these units If suf-
f1cient instructors were available.
Due to the lack of sufficient APP
2fopriations, activities OF the Nation
al Guard will be severely crippled
between now and July l. 1926. A close
check of the unexpended balance of
1926 funds for Expenses, camps of
instruction" shows there are barely
sufficient funds to provide for the
following: Payment OF longevity pay
and rental allowances not yet paid /;
to provide for 15-day training camps
next June for organizations that have
held no 15-day camps in the fiscal
year 1925; to provide partially as far
as funds Will permit, for necessary
repairs and construction work in the
preparation of camp sites.
There will be no funds available
for holding any of the following ac-
tivities prior to July /: schools of in
struction (four-day); State rife COM
petitions; rife camps of instruction;
for any activities or purposes other
than those stated in paragraph one

A recent study made by the War De-

Army reveals the fact that there are
11,476 Regular officers exclusive of
Philippine scouts Simultaneous with
this study, bill was introduced by Rep
resentative Robert l.. Bacon Of New
York which provides an increase of
l 900 officers in the Regular Army I'm

strength of the corps of Regular officers
will be brought up to $4,000 by June

Between now and the end of the cur
rent fiscal year. June 80, it is estimated
by the War Department that about
$4,000 of the enlisted personnel of the
Regular establishment will, due to the
expiration of their present enlistment,
be separated from the rolls of the Army.
Extensive efforts will be made by the
War Department. however, to re-enlist
those men whose service contracts viii
expire between now and June 80 in
stead of seeking replacements from the
cities and towns throughout the coun-
try AS of December 81, 1924, the Army
was practically at its monthly author
lied average of 11S,75O men.
In making its decision to re-enlist
those men whose periods of enlistment
will expire between now and the Sum-
mer training camp season, it is pointed
out by Regular Army officers on duty in
the War Department that these eX-
perienced men can be used to great ad-
vantage as instructors in these camps
while a new recruit without previous
military experience can hardly be en-
ployed in this instructional work. Fol
lowing is given the monthly strength of
the Army since the beginning Of the

AID FOR FARM
MARKETING
LIKELY
Bill to Help co-operatives in
Crop Sales Abroad to
BE Offered Soon
By WILLIAM x. HUTCHINSON.

by WILLIAM n. hOlNdlN SUM-
international New1 Service.
Governmental aid to American
farmers in the marketing Of their
crops was in prospect today when
Administration leaders announced
a drive to enact the necessary
legislation at this session Of Con-
gress.
The proposed relief will be based
upon, Recommendations of the agri-
culture commission, named by
President Coolidge, which now is
engaged in a study of the farm
er's problems. Administration
leaders indicated the first remedy
offered farmers will be a CO.
operative marketing bill under
which the Government would help
agricultural organizations in dis
posing of surplus crops abroad.
The Presidents agriculture COM
mission will draft cooperative
marketing bill at the earliest
opportunity" said Senator Curtis
of Kansas, Republican leader OF
the Senate. 1T is rushing it's
investigation of the farm situation
In the hope of rendering a report
to Congress in time for action on
it's recommendations before ad-,
journment.
"If a bill is sent to Congress in
time, we will make every effort
to enact it into law at this
session."
The statement by Curtis was the
first from any Administration
source that farm relief would be
attempted at this session. Here
tofore Administrator spokesman
have opposed consideration Of such
legislation on the ground that 1t
would provoke q special session,
which is not desired by the
President.
1t was learned, however, that
Curtis went before the commission
personally to explain the legisla-
tive situation in Congress and to
urge the need of cooperative mar
keting agencies. He offered the
commission every assistance in
drafting legislation to meet its
recommendations.
Administration leaders declare the
legislative situation would permit
consideration Of a farm relief bill
IL the various agriculture rrepre-
sentatives would agree to support
the same measure. Enactment OF
relief at the last session, it was
pointed out, failed when the diff
ferent farm organizations disagreed
over the nature of relief desired.
The Administration program,
however, is complicated. Six ap-
preparation bills, carrying millions
for operating Government depart
ments, have not yet been passed.
Five of these are still in the House.
Nine other major bills, including
the McFadden Banking act-just
passed by the House-remain on
the Senate's program.
Postal Pay Stall Looms.
In addition, advocates Of the de-
! feated postal pay bill hope to pass
revised measure, increasing pos
| tai salaries. but raising the reVe-
nue. from higher postal rates.
Despite this program, the Pres
ident's spokesman hope to meet
the demand for farm relief legisla-
| ton without forcing a special ses-
| sion Of Congress after March 4.
