Buy AMERICAN

II THERE is one campaign that should
! be easy to support, it is the Buy AM
erican' movement, which is being urged
upon the people of the United States as
one means Of bettering our economic
condition.
1t is not difficult to recall how all ar
ticles purchased several years ago were
inspected, to see if Made in Germany"
was stamped on them. If they were so
stamped, il was considered unpatriotic
to buy them.
The present movement aims at no
particular foreign country. 1t merely
urges all Americans 10 make certain that
merchandise they buy has been manu-
factured or processed in the United
States.
OF course there is a small class which
considers ownership of a foreign car,
for instance, essential to the satisfaction
of their ego. Only a very few of US can
buy foreign cars. But many of US use
foreign perfumes, powder, shaving ac-
cessories and dozens of other small
items. The same articles are manufac-
tured in the United States and are every
bit as good as the foreign brands.
They supply work for American work
men, they support American schools,
good roads, our merchant marine and
help to provide all the comforts and con-
veniences which the American standard
of living demands.
The individual may say that the
amount of foreign merchandise he pur-
chases will make no great difference to
anyone, but if every American who has
been buying foreign commodities would
abandon the practice and Buy Ameri-
can, the aggregate result would set the
wheels of industry humming in many an
American factory
1t is not only good patriotism to in
sst on American made goods, but it is
good business, and there is nothing this
country needs any more right now than
good business and lots of it. Buy Am
erican' and help to provide it.

ARMY WILL EFFECT
$5O,0D0,0lDD SAVING
Economy Will Be Made With
out Reduction in Officers
or Men.

Without the necessity OF reducing
the officer and enlisted strength of
either the Army or the National Guard
the War Department has worked out a
plan for saving $50, 100000 in the COM
ing fiscal year by imposing severe cur
tailments Of civilian personnel, training
activities and equipment.
The s5o,o00,0OO saving proposed is ac-
tually s4,0oO,o00 under the figure orig
inally determined by the Budget Bureau
Exclusive Of rivers and harbors i'm
provements, the plan calls for a limit
Of S225,000,0 900 on departmental and
military expenditures in the 1884 fiscal
year which begins July /. The outlay
this year is estimated at s275 100000.
Announcing the cuts yesterday, the
War Department said every effort had
been made to absorb them in such a
way as would minimize any consequent
impairment of the national defense.
With the elimination by Congress of
the executive power proposed for Presi-
dent Roosevelt whereby he would be
authorized to furlough. in his discretion,
at least 1000 commissioned officers and
Army, the Army was given freer hand
In working out its own economies.
Cuts Explained.
A War Department explanation of
the cuts proposed said:
The detailed analysis of reductions
discloseS that the retrenchments relate
primarily to living expenses, mainte-
nance and operation costs, material and
new equipment, with some curtailment
of training activities and overhead
civilian personnel. All components of
the Army of the United States will
have less funds. However, each is re-
tanned without reduction in its fight
ing personnel.
The Regular Army will omit its
normal field training activities, includ-
ing target practice. will reduce its fly
ing training, suspend many of its sup
ply, arsenal and depot activities, its re-
search and development studies, its re-
equipment, including aircraft, and it's
armament activities as well as certain
in its motor and animal
programs.
1T will also have to reduce expendi-
lures for its employees and clerks-field
employees at arSenals, depots and posts
Will be seriously affected.
To Retain Personnel.
"The National Guard will retain its
existing personnel and be able to con-
duct all field and partial armory train
ing. While the National Guard will
have to suspend some of its activities,
it is estimated that the funds available
will permit two weeks field training and
at least II, and probably 20, armory
training drills.
THE Reserve Officers Training Corps
will be maintained, but with curtail-
ment in supplies, uniforms and equip
ment, and also with about one-third
reduction in its Summer training camps
activity.
"The Organized Reserve is now asso-
ciated with the Regular Army in the
Civilian Conservation Corps work in
so far as there Is shortage of Regular
Army officers for this work. As most
of the reserve officers associated with
the corps are Of junior grades. some
funds have been reserved which will
