Two hundred girl freshmen at Rad

dainty Christmas greetings with
dainty toes. 1t was generally con-
coded. however, that the finished

All freshmen are required to take

there was nothing to do but to toe

1t was explained that the request
was not to give the students an OPP

CENSURES ECONOMY
Being PRACTICED IN
CASE OF j. s. ARMY

New York, Dec. 21.-(P-The United
States army was depicted today by
Brigadier General Henry J. Reilly,
Rainbow Division war veteran, as a
demoralized group of underfed and un-
happy men, trooping dejectedly across
the military scene on ancient, under
nourished nags and living in tumbled
down shacks unfit for human habita-
ton.
So poor are conditions. he said. that
American soldiers are deserving at the
rate of more than 1000 every month
in protest against being made the vic
tins Of excessive governmental econ
omy.
In an article entitled "Our Crum-
bling National Defense" in the Janu-
airy number Of the Century Magazine.
issued today, General Reilly said that
the country's defense is in precarious
condition due to measures of economy
put into effect during the past six
years.
The man power Of the army. he
wrote, has been cut from the 297, 200
officers and men provided for In the
national defense act of 1920 to a total
of 121,700, and that the contemplated
Strength Of the National Guard under
the same act has been reduced from
454,e00 to 1920.
"Definite retrogression," he contin-
ued, has set in in our military estab-
lishment, both in material and In mo-
rale Owing to existing conditions
nearly $4,000 men deserted from the
army last year, and many others. see
ing their chances of promotion gone,
are taking their discharges. The reg
ular army officers, discouraged over
the state of affairs, are beginning to
lose heart.
"The American soldier today. in the
midst of national prosperity, is being
fed with a lighter ration and less va
riety than before the war. His horse,
il he Is a mounted man, Is given less
foliage, and in the artillery his mules
are underfed.
"Of 40,100 horses and mules In the
regular asmy this year the average age
of over $4,000 is II years. The excess
sive age Of the animals renders them
unfit for vigorous drills or marches.

No Hurry on Ten
Light U. S. Cruisers
View of President

Washington, Dec. 21-P)-Imme-
date construction OF ten hght
cruisers which would be authorized
under the Butler bill now on the
house calendar, is unnecessary In
President Coolidges opinion.
His view, as outlined today at the
White House, Is that the navy's
building program is ample for the
present. After present construction.
including that on airplane carriers
and submarines is complete, he feels
it would be possible to provide funds
to begin work on the cruisers with
out greatly increasing naval appro-
priations.
To an extent at least the view of
the president appeared to jibe with
that of members Of the house naval
committee, which has reported the
Butler bill to authorize $105,00O,-
600 appropriation. They point out
that the measure simply would
authorize the cruiser construction
and that there is no intention Of at
tempting to get an appropriation at
this session of congress to begin
work on any of the ships
Members Of the committee, how
ever, do feel that funds should be
provided at once for the three
cruisers already authorized by con-
gress, fof which the budget made no
provision.

New York, Dec. 21.-(P)-Padiock
proceedings against IS of Manhattan's
best-known night clubs, cabarets and
restaurants, were begun tonight in
raids by seven parties sent out from
the Office of U. S. Attorney Emory r.

,lecting evidence for the past three
months and submitting 1t to Assistant
United States Attorney General Wad-
mond, in charge of the paddock de
vision.
The service OF personal injunction
with the paddock proceeding papers is
an innovation of procedure by which
Mr.. Bucllner and his assistants believe
the alleged sale of liquor in night
clubs, speak-easies and restaurants
will be checked.

Declares England
Nearer Revolution
Than Ever Before

Smethwich, Staffordshire, England,
Dec. 2t.-fP)-The declaration by Oil
yer Baldwin, Socialist son of the Con-
sentative prime minister. that 1--WE are
nearer revolution today than ever be-
FORE" featured the close of the CAM
paign of Oswald Mosley, whose parlia-
mentary candidacy was before the vot-
ers in bye-election here today.
Young Baldwin, addressing mass
meeting predicted that so years hence
there will be only two parties In Great
Britain-Socialist and Communist.
The result of the bye-election, ne
cessitated by the resignation of the
Laborite. J. F. Dawson, because of
i'll health, will be known about mid
night.
The campaign was one Of the most
remarkable staged in England for
years, being marked by rough and
ready tactics and strong personal at
tacks. Mosley is the husband OF Cyn-
thia Mosley, daughter of the late Lord
Curzon and granddaughter of the late
Levi q. Letter, Chicago millionaire.
During his election speeches Mosley
referred to her as "the mtssus," ignor-
ing her title. while as her contribution
to the campaign she nursed tenement
babies and led in the singing OF So
cialiSt songs.
There seemed little doubt as the
polls opened that Mosley would be
successful, but not only is the const1t-
uency Laborite, but the Laborite vote
was expected to split between Conserv-
alive and Liberal candidates.
