an average figure for the year OF
1880, recruiting can be so admin
istered as to close the year with 49,
99S men should the men actually be
required" the committee said.
Much complaint is heard with re-
spect to the effect curtailed appropria-
tions have had upon the military -es-
tablishment." 1t continued. Constant.
ly diminishing appropriations, accom-
panied by gradual diminution through
use and deterioration of surplus war
stocks. have served to eliminate waste
and bring about economy In admins
tration, but undoubtedly the point has
been reached where either we must
appropriate larger sums or further re-
duce the size of the Army, including
civil components, and possibly neglect
properly to care for the establishment
in divers other ways"
Arguing for a balanced Army, the
committee said the budget estimates
served to emphasize the necessity in
that:
They allow for fewer number OF
enlisted men than the current appro-
priations were intended to provide:
they provide for a lesser number of
Philippine Scouts; they do not pro-
vide for enough horses and mules
even to meet replacement require
ments; they contemplate curtailment
of training by National Guard organ
izations and officers of the orga nized
reserve; some encroachment Is contem-
plated upon the war reserve and quite
a substa ntial reduction Is proposed
for ordnance experimentation, the

for deferred repairs and minor i'm
provements, for ammunition and the
surveillance of guns and ammunition
in use and in storage, and for i'm.
proving the heavy battery situation
at Rruja Point. Canal Zone"
Disclaiming any congressional re-
sponsiblity for the fact that the Army
now numbers 10000 men under the
personnel intended in the last appro-
nria ton. the committee Is looking to
the submission of a supplemental esti-
mate sufficient to bring the enlisted
strength up to $4,000 by the end of
the present fiscal year" Explaining
the forced cut in personnel, the com
mittee report said an underestimate
was submitted originally.

HIRING Of EXPERTS
FOR BRIDGE 0. K.
Authority Found in 1926
Law After BIanton Makes
Point of Order.

The point Of order made by Repre-
sentative Blanton, Democrat, OF
Texas. which threatened to delay ex-
peditious and economical procedure in
the building Of the Arlington Memo
rial Bridge. proves to have lacked
adequate founda tion.
This point of order was against
language In the independent offices
appropriation bill which would permit
the Arlington Memorial Bridge Com
mission to employ architects and ex-
pert advice without reference to civil
service requirements.
Representative Will r.. Wood of
Indiana chairman of the subcommit-
tee that drafted the independent
Offices appropriation bill, called the
attention of the House today to the
fact that the language against which
Mr.. Blanton raised the point of order
In permanent law, having been put
into the independent offices act for
the fiscal year 1927, approved April
-. 1926, which used the words, this
or any other appropriation heretofore
or hereafte made to carry out said
project" The use of the word here
after" lis construed as making this
permanent law.
Mr.. Wood explained to the House
tneTe really was no use III carrying
this language in the bill under consid-
GRAFTON, but after the point of order
had been raised. l believe the chair
was In error In sustaining the point Of
order in view of the fact that the Ian
guage objected to Ii permanent law.
The omission OF this language from
the bill will in no way affect the work
of the commission.
The striking of this language from
the appropriation bill now under con-
sideration has the effect of leaving 1t
az though II had never been inserted.
The authority of the bridge building
commission now reverts back. to the
permanent law approved April %,
1925, which obviates the necessity of
conforming to civil service require
ments in hiring architectural and
other expert advice.

CAUSE SPECULATION.
Six River Gun boa is in China Fig.
ure in Situation.

One phase of the Chinese situation
causing some speculation in naval
circles here Is the effect of the re-
ported hostility TO foreigners on the
completion of six river gunboats now
under construction for the American
Navy at the Kiangnan Dock and En-
gineering Works at Sha nghai.
One vessel was to have been com
pleted March / and another one
month later, but it is understood some
delay has arisen.
The boats are being built for service
in Chinese waters. Because they could
be built at a lower cost in the Orient
the contract was awarded the Chi.
nese firm They could not have been
built in this country and sailed under
their own power TO their stations, it
is said at the Navy Department.
