embattled East Macedonian rebels.
At Piraeus the 2e,oo0-ton British

Baffled by heavy rain and mist for
the last "a hours, the loyalist forces
hailed clearing skies as the signal for
launching the mass offensive they hope
will exterminate the revolutionary ac-

The troops, estimated to ,otal sc, 900
men. outnumbering the insurgents
eight to one. were deployed along a
wide front for their offensive.
Bridges Being Rebuilt.
As the army moved up to the battle
line. the rumble of it's progress was

military engineers were reconstructing
the bridge the rebels burned to cover
their retreat.
The rebels awaited the Zero hour

SHEPPARD BACKS
INCREASED ARMY
Senator Lewis Also Sup.
ports Army Bill as De-
bate Opens.
BY. J. A. O'LEARY.

Declaring the size of the American
Army has been whitfield down to a
mere handful of men," Chairman
Sheppard of the Senate Military At
fairs Committee came to the support
today of the provision in the pending
War Department bill to add 4C.25C
to the enlisted personnel next fiscal
year.
Although the authorized strength
of the Army in the national defense
act is 100000. Sheppard pointed out
that this increase will still leave only
a skeleton force. At the present time
the Army consists of ll8,750. SO that
the pending bill would bring it up only
to 10000 Sheppard said the whit
tling down has left the Army INSULT
cient in size even for peace time re-
quirementS.
Backed by Lewis.
Senator j. Hamilton Lewis, Demo-
crat, of Illinois also supported the bill
calling attention to potential dangers
in world affairs today. particularly in
Asiatic problems Lewis told the Sen
ate the way to avoid danger is to be
prepared to meet it.
The debate was started by the an
nouncement of Senator Clark, Demo-
crat, of Missouri that he would move
to strike out the proposed increase In
personnel. Senators Vandenberg. Re-
publican. of Michigan, and Dickinson
Republican, of Iowa criticized the fact
that the bill does not definitely appro-
pirate the S20,000,000 needed for the
proposed increase in enlistments but
requires the costs to be met from other
expenditures in the bill.
The Senate already has approved
the committee amendment making
the increase definite, and Senator
Clark's first move will be to seek
reconsideration of that action, after
which he will move to strike out the
provision for the additional enlist
mentS.
In order to open the way for fur.
ther discussion of the question, Sen.
ator Copeland, in charge of the bill
will not object to reconsideration OF
the committee amendment. It is ex-
pected, however, he will oppose the
move to strike out entirely the in
creased personnel.
Proposal by Frazier.
Senator Frazier will propose an
amendment to the bill to prevent the use
of War Department FUNDS to support
military training in any civil schoo
or college where such training is made
compulsory. Senator Frazier said his
proposal would not affect schools that
are essentially military, or othe,
schools If the training is not com.
pulsory.
The Senate probably will reach
final passage of the bill, which
carries $375,074,654 for all expenses
of the War Department for the COM
ing fiscal year. Although the Senate
bill is $4,OO0,0 900 under the estimates
submitted, it is still $45, SOS, 900 above
current appropriations.
After it passes the Senate the
measure will have to 60 to conference
for settlement of changes in House
provisions. The House bill exceeded
the Senate measure by several million
dollars.

PINEHURST. N. c., March 7-The
investigation into the strange death
Of Mrs. Elva Statler Davidson, heiress
to the Statler hotel millions. came
to a close at / o'clock today after a
| witness had testified she threatened
to go out TO the garage and turn on
the motor" three weeks before her
body was actually found there.
The jury is expected to announce
its verdict late today
The 22-year-old bride OF H. Brad
ley Davidson. jr.. OF Washington. D
c.. was found dead in her garage here
last Wednesday
DR.. c. c. Carpenter. noted pathol-
ogist. told the jury today the imme-
diate cause of her death was carbon
Monoxide gas poisoning, and that
there was no trace of any other
poison in her body. He said he die
not believe her death could have been
an accident and discussed at length
the strange position in which the
body was found and numerous bruises
on it.
One such mark he said. might have
resulted from "a bite or a pinch with
a hard object"
The startling testimony concerning
Mrs. DavidSon's suicide threat came
at the very end of the case from
Herbert Vail of Pinehurst. one of the
dead woman's close friends.

1t was almost exactly three weeks
later that the young brides llfeless
body was found sprawled across the
floor boards of her l2-cylinder car
her life snuffed out by CARBON monox-
ide gas from the motor.
Vail said he didn't pay much at
tention to the remark at the time
because Mrs. Davidson was in one OF
her usual moody conditions.
Under croSs-eXamination he ad-
mitted he had first expressed the
opinion her death was 'unquestionably
an accident" He said he expressed
this false view because he wanted tc
see it that way for the family's sake.
The witness said he was now testi-
flying it was a suicide" because he be-
lieved the possibility of an accident
had been eliminated.
Asked as to her mental condition
he replied:
"I think she had been mentally un.
balanced ever since had known her

Visit Snake Institution
This afternoon we visited the snake
institution. That is too long a story
for a diary. We saw snakes-hun-
dreds of them-kept In confinement
for the relief Of humanity. Perhaps
they'd rather be free in the jungle
their tempers indicated as much.
So also, no doubt, would all the
guinea pigs, mice and rabbits. How
ever. human life is supposed to be
worth more than that Of lower crea-
lures, including reptiles. One Of the
most deadly dangers to the country
folk Of Brazil in the past was snakes.
It isn't any more. The anti-venom,
scientifically prepared at this institu-
ton, has placed salvation at hand.
A revolution took place near this
city three years ago. The main casus
belli, no doubt, was an old jealousy
between Rio and Sac Paulo. Politics,
business and other national problems
were so agglutinated that tourist
could not grasp the significance Of
it all in few days. Whatever the
cause and whoever won the victory

thing is sure: "Never again = no
never" Which means, never" until
a sufficient cause is found again. The
army of the rebelling state Of Sac
Paulo, as a matter of fact, was licked
and the federal government Of Rio
carries on.
