chief of staff, estimates that only
$4,000 regulars - equipped nearly
as well as the Nazi legions in Nor
way-are ready to take their
places in the continental defense
scheme.
Twenty-Five thousand enlisted
reserves are available as quick
reinforcements. Another 10000
troops, well-equipped and we'll
trained, are stationed in the over
seas strongholds of Puerto Rico,
Panama and Hawaii.
Maneuvers Scheduled
Despite the relatively small con-
tinental forces, substantial pro-
gress has been made this year in
bringing scattered units together
into actual divisions-few as they
are. One nearly complete mechan-
ised division was formed Germany
is believed to have at least 10).
Marshall stressed that this one di-
vision was formed only by depriv-
ing certain infantry and cavalry
units of vital equipment.
The mechanical division has
been put through its first test in
the Louisiana-Texas sector, where
10000 regular troops have been
concentrated in the largest maneu-
vers since the World war. Similar
war games, involving about 310,-
900 regular, reserve and national
guard men, are scheduled for other
sections of the country throughout
summer months.
Material Needed
Although congress has provided
S4,419, 100000 for the army in the
last IL years, the senate has found
it necessary to V. e another ST.
s23. 252. 724 for the fiscal year 1e41
to close vital gaps in the setup.
National policy commits the
United States to defend not
only Its own territory, but as
much as possible of the entire
western hemisphere-from the
Arctic ocean to Cape Horn.
The army Is far from ready
for any such assignment.
The new defense program. how
ever, is designed to provide weap-
ons and other essential materials
for the proposed 1000, 000-man
army that would be sent into the
field under the prospective mobili-
cation plan. Marshall has said II
is more important to provide this
material than 1t Is To increase per
sonnet in the standing army.
Manpower Is Not Lacking
Lack of material becomes of
special Importance not only be-
cause 1t takes long time to manu-
facture, but because lack Of II
makes impossible for us to cap

By the Associated Press.
Litigation to deterwine whether
the right of freedom of speech was
violated by injunctions restraining
American Federation Of Labor affili-
ates from picketing came before the
Supreme Court today for argument.
At issue we're injunctions upheld
by the Illinois Supreme Court re-
straining picketing of a Chicago
beauty parlor and of Chicago retail
stores selling the product of a dairy
which delivered its milk by the use
Of vendors.
Counsel for the American Fedora
ton of Labor said one of the in
functions, issued in 1887, prohibited
members Of local organized groups
of BARRIERS and hairdressers from
picketing or exhibiting signs or
placards giving publicity to their
view that the Ross w. Swing beauty
parlor was unfair to organized labor.
Violence Charged.
The labor group was charged with
attempting to unionize the beauty
parlor and it was contended that
violence had been employed.
Explaining that its attack on the
injunction was limited TO provisions
which restrain peaceful persuasion, 4"
the federation added in brief:
There Is no desire to protect
violence but rather to discourage
violence or force The suppression of
free speech does not suppress, but
encourages violence"
Attorneys for Swing replied that
"the liberty of freedom of speech is
not absolute" but is always subject
to the exercise of governmental
regulation and control in the interest
Of public welfare

Mr.. Pennington said the F. B. 7.
does not believe that sabotage is
to blame for many of the fires and
explosions which are popularity at
tributed to the work of foreign
agents.
In proof of this he cited statistics
which showed that in 1899 there
were approximately 1875 fires per
month in industrial plants. and in
1888 there were nearly 2,200 fires
per month. In 1899, he continued,
there were more than 10000 ex-
plosions, and the previous year
there we're more than 5000.
I'VE heard no cries of sabotage

by some persons to sabotage" he

plane was lost.
Detonations from explosions caused
by bombs could be heard as far as
The Wash, go miles away, the Ger
mans said.
Authorized Nazis asserted Shef-
field produces IS per cent of Eng

Ophelia didn't like the reception
she was getting in Washington and
began to bat her crate around.

Everybody beamed when a Zoo
official SAID, Send the bear out
another mouth to feed can't make

So Ophelia was hustled out to the
Zoo before she lost her temper
completely.
Mr.. Werner later received a wire
from the West Virginia Izaak Walton
Leaguers. 1t said, Please register
Ophelia as the first accredited dele
