Desire for Action.

Now that the Army heads who were
President Hoover's guests over the week
end at his mountain retreat at the
headwaters Of the Rapidan River, Vir-
ginia, have had an opportunity tc learn
more definitely just what the President
expects in the way of retrenchment in
the military establishment, it is expect
ed this task of cutting down the Army's
annual costs will begin in earnest and
without delay.
President Hoover is understood during
the several conferences he had with
these Army heads at his camp to have

mined in this purpose-that he demands
a practical and sincere attempt to ef-
feet economies and that he does not
want any delay. 1t Is understood that
the President has indicated that he ex-
poets a complete report from the COM
mittee of generals which Is to make
the survey for the purpose Of recon-

Col. Hodges, principal military aide at
the White House, besides Secretary OF
Interior Wilbur, George Akerson of the
secretarial staff, and Lieut. Comdr.

retrenchment very thoroughly, the
President Is understood to have dis
cussed during this outing the matter OF
personnel of the committee of generals
he Is to appoint to make the survey.
It has been pointed out that the
President is well aware of the small
size of the American Army and realizes
that it could be reduced very little in
numbers, but that he Is satisfied that
certain practices and activities now be-
ing carried on in the military establish
ment which are out of step with the ad.
yancement in modern military science,
If not completely obsolete. It is in these
quarters that the President IS said TO
be looking for economies.

mountains was not devoted to business.
