The Senate and the Army.

A good days work for the United
States Army was accomplished in the
United States Senate yesterday. BY the
application Of sane economy to the War
Department appropriations bill as 1t
came from the House. the Senate went
the lower branch three million dollars
better, yet obviated the necessity of cut
ting of the pay Of two thousand officers.
BY that token, it would become unnec-
essary should the Senate action finally
prevail in conference. to drop from the
Army active list that number Of we'll
trained and indispensable corps. divi-
sional, regimental and company COM
manders.
As the War Department budget
stands after Senate amputations it
calls for an expenditure of $3.50 ,57s 900
for the fiscal year 1893, which is s2l.-
785,000 below the estimates and more
than s5s.000,Ooo less than the appro-
priation for the current fiscal year.
The total finally approved is 5000, 900
short Of the bill passed by the House.
Despite this reduction, the budget as
amended by the Senate carries an in
crease IN Army pay of s3,7s4 900. This
nullifies the provision of the Lower
House in slashing two thousand Of
ficers off the Army roster.
In order to ram home its belief that
in the field Of national defense foolish
economy can easily become dangerous
extravaganza. the Senate took con-
firmatory ballot on the question OF the
officers. thus placing itself on record
as unaltersbly opposed to so drastic a
retrenchment.
To complete It's effective accomplish
ment on behalf Of an adequate land
establishment. the Senate rejected a
pacifist-inspired drive against the Citi-
zens' Military Training Camps. Pro-
posals OF cuts ranging from ten to
twenty-five per cent in such items as
subsistence allowance, clothing, military
post maintenance and other require
ments for training activities were de-
feated. one after another 1t remained

against the c. M. T. c. The destruc-
tion Of this basic feature Of the national
defense act of 1920, founded on the sad

Of the anti-preparedness group The
Nebraska Progressive has discovered. or
thinks he has discovered, that the C.
NJ. T. camps are pernicious institutions
because by some Of the teachings in these
camps tens Of thousands of American
youth annually are educated not only
in the rudiments Of the military art,
but in some of the funda mentals of
American citizenship. The Senate is
to be commended for decisively repel-
ling move by Senator Cutting of New
Mexico to limit camp instructions to
the rife and the bayonet.

ClassfOrd Commended
For Bonus March Work

To the Editor OF The Star:
was very much surprised to see
the criticism contained in The Eve
ming Star of June 7, 1882, regarding
Brig. Gen. Glassford.
1t seems to me the general has had
a big job on his hands and has handled
1t efficiently without any annoyance to
the people of Washington, and deserves
credit and commendation. He did not
invite the bonus army to this city, but
has provided for the men and pro-
tected the interests OF the people OF
the District What more Is desiredf

The Irish Senate.

A development in the matter Of the
Irish Free States relation to Great
Britain with respect to the oath OF al
legiance to the King has just occurred
which directs attention to the unique
status Of the upper branch of the
Oireachtas, the national Legislature
The Senate. or Seanad Eireann. sitting
in committee has, by vote Of 80 to %,
written into the bill to abolish the oath
a provision that the removal Of the
oath clause from the Free State con-
stitution shall be imperative until the
British government agrees to It. Un-
less this action is reconsidered, which
is unlikely, the bill as amended will
upon passage by the Senate return to
the Dali Eireann. or Chamber of Depu-
ties, which will probably reject the
amen dment. thus deadlocking the bill
Th0 :ower house can pass the bill over
the veto OF the upper branch after
eighteen months.
The Seanad Ereann is composed of
sixty members, elected for nine years,
cne-third of the membership retiring
every three years. The electors for
this purpose are the members of the
two branches Of the Legislature "vot-
ing together on principles Of proper
tional representation" Thus the Dali
Eireann, or lower branch, may deter
mine the membership of the upper
branch. 1t is this peculiar feature Of
the Free State organization that gives
point to President De Valeras state
ment, in commenting upon the action
of the Senate, that the Irish people
will deal with the Senate" This means
unmistakably that the question of the
oath will be the paramount issue at
the next election fer the Dali, which
will take place in March, 1896.

YULET|DE IS COSTLY
IN SOVIET RUSSIA
Foreigners Forced to Pay
$25 for Trees-Trimmings
Hard to Find.

By the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, December %. - With
Christmas trees selling at $25 each, and
hard to get even at that price. Ameri-
cans and other foreigners in Soviet Rus
sia who insist on observing Christmas
in appropriate fashion, Notwithstanding
the fact it is ignored by most Russians,
find it expensive as we'll as difficult, so
far as the actual trimmings are con-
cerned.
Stringent police regulations prohibit
the sale even Of the smallest trees to
Russis rs, but as a special concession to
foreignec1 Ire government permits few
exclusively for them.
Tinfoil in Demand.
After paying the huge price for a
tree, however the average foreign fam
lily must scratch hard to find the nee
essary adornment, which is virtually
non existent here now.
The result is great demand for tin
foil from long discarded cigarette and
candy packages from abroad, absorbent
cotton, ribbons and any other g1m-
cracks which possibly could lend the
traditional Christmas touch.
Several American engineers attached
to Moscow trusts whose wives and chill
dren are with them went into the coun-
try and chopped down their own trees
rather than pay the high price asked.
Most Of the embassies and legations,
better equipped than individual foreign
ers, will have the usual richly decorated
trees.

Meanwhile, as the small foreign COL
ony went ahead with its Christmas dec

She was torn between her

The morning after my arrival
I took a walk with Joe, who was
accompanied by his ever-present

working. Ali joined us as we en-

Suddenly the wandering
Bunkie, who had stopped beside
a felled tree, started barking
furiously. 1t didn't take me
long to know what it was all
about. In the shadow of the
fallen timber could see black

Frantically Joe yelled to the

The reckless Bunkie remained
where he was, toying with de-

probably didn't hear Joe voice,

stick and made for the log.
