WAR DEPT. COMES IN
FOR SUNDRY RAPS IN
DEBATE MONEY BILL

Washington, Feb. 12-(AP)-The
war department came in for criticism
from both sides Of the house today
during consideration Of the army ap-
preparation bill.
Representative Blanton, Democrat
Texas, declared it was the war and
navy departments, not congress, that
is running the government" When
Representative Speaks, Republican
Ohio, a member Of the military COM
mittee, said If the house would have
patience the committee soon would
report bill designed to correct the
situation, Mr.. Blanton replied that he
stood ready to support any measure
that would help bust this trust In
the war department"
The discussion was started by the
statement of Representative Anthony,
Republican. Kansas, in charge of the
bill that the national guard would
like to report through the chief of
the militia bureau directly to the Sec
rotary of war, but the general staff
would not stand for this"
Does the war department run
congress or congress the war depart
ment?" Nj. Blanton inquired.
occasionally it is horse and horse"
said Mr.. Anthony.
The house approved a section of
the bill, appropriating $S,000.000 for
aviation. This includes s7.604, 200
for 305 new planes and 100000 is al
lotted for lighter than-air craft to be
used for experimenting with small
balloons or airships.
After a sharp debate, an item OF
100000 for improvements to military
buildings in Hawaii was raised to
$450,000 for completion of hospital
at Schofield Barracks.
Representative Wingo, Democrat

PRESIDENT.C|TES HIS
'18 PROCL. AVIATION ON
!!.INCQLN'S BIRTHDAY

Washington. Feb. 12.-(AP)-Presi-
dent Coolidge believes that nothing he
could say In tribute to Abraham Lin
coin would be better praise than the
Lincoln proclamation he issued in 1918
as governor of Massachusetts,.
AS a result. the White House, re-
spending to request for an expression
from the president, sent copies of the
proclamation to be read at Lincoln
birthday meetings in various sections
Of the country.
In his proclamation Mr.. Coolidge
said:
Give score and ten years ago. that
divine Providence which infinite repe-
tition has made only the more a mira
Gle, sent into the world a new life. des-
tinued to save nation. NO star. no
sign, foretold his coming. About his
cradle all was poor and mean save
only the source Of all great men-the
love of a wonderful women. When she
faded away in his tender years, from
her death bed in humble poverty she
lowered her son with greatness.
There can be no proper observance
Of a birthday which forgets the moth
er. Into his origin as into his life men
long have looked and wondered. In
wisdom great. but in humility greater,
in justice strong, but in compassion
stronger, he became a leader of men
by being a follower of the truth. He
oyercame evil with good. His pres
ence filled the nation. He broke the
weight of oppression. He restored a
race to it's birthright. His mortal
frame has vanished. but his spirit in
creased with the increasing years, the
richest legacy of the greatest century.
Men show by what they worship
what they are 1t is no accident that
before the great example of American
manhood our people stand with respect
and reverence. And in accordance win
this sentiment, our laws have proVioeo
for a formal recognition of the birth
dav Of Abraham Lincoln, for in him Is
revealed our ideals, the hope of our
country fulfilled"
