CUT IN ARMY MIGHT
BY ADMINISTRATION

Force at 13,000 Officers
and"150,000 Men.
GUARD IS JEOPARDIZED
Experts Say House Plan
Would Nullify Training
' of All Reserves.
HOPE SEEN IN WARNING
Weeks Believes Senate Will
Perceive Defects and Oppose j
Pending: Measure.

\Y?Nhlnc<on, D. C.. Slay IS. (
Administratipn torces to-day inaugurated
a fight against the reduction
of the regular army, proposed in
the House bill, now In the Senate. |
with the vigor that was used against
the attempt by the same forces in the
House to reduce the navy personnel
to a degree, which, in the opinion of
experts, would have wrecked that
branch of the military service.
The Administration is standing for
an army of 13,000 officers and 150,000
men, while the House bill provides for
11,000 officers and 115,000 men. Even
the number the Administration accepts
is a large reduction from the
army of 1920, which had 280.000 men.
In addition to this, it is said by
army experts the House bill would
nullify the chief purpose of the regular
army, which is the training of the
National Guard and the organized reserves,
with the result the country
would revert to the condition of unnreparedness
that existed before the
war and which, Gen. Pershing says,
may have compelled our entrance
into it.
According to army opinion it would bo
impossible under the appropriation contained
In the Hou.i.'i bill to maintain the
civilian training camps or to train the
National Guard units, and the organized
groups would he wrecked. The House
till, they assert, would nullify the
structure of the National Defense act,
which aims to maintain a regular army
just large enough for defense and fot
civilian training, and which provides the
machinery for enlarging the armed
forces promptly, in th.-> event of hostll
itles.
Army Pay Bill In Way.
Information from the Capitol Is that
action on the army bill Is being held up
pending action in the House on the
army pay measure. As soon as this
measure is-out of the way the Senate
will take up the House appropriation
bill, which the Administration finds so
nhlA(>Honabli?.
Secretary of War Weeks believes the
warnings issued by the President, by
himself, by Gen. Pershing and Gen.
Harbord will be effective when the
Senate cornea to consider the House bill,
which does not have even tho approval
of the House Committer on Military
Affairs.
it is plainly intimated that Presidential
approval never will be given to any
measure like that which has emanated
from the House.
"I curt think of no gr.j&ter foiTy." Secrotary
Weeks says, "than attempts to
economize by unwise reduction of our
forces below the minimum required for
the development of the national defense
:ystem Sanctioned by the National Defense
act."
Concerning tho inadequacy of the
House measure. Secretary Weeks said:
"The entire structure rests upon the
soundest economic foundation. The
best talent we nave in our country,
trained in the service before the war,
with the added experience of service
miring the war. and with the fullest appreciation
of our economic requirements,
is unanimous in the belief that we
should not reduce our regular forces '
below 150,000 men."'
Pershing In Accord.
Gen. Pershing reports this position
With emphasis.
"A careful consideration of the work
In hand,'' ho says, "if the initial well
laid scheme Is if>t to be seriously curtailed,
and many essential activities
abandoned, leads inevitably to the conclusion
that any further reduction would
be disastrous."
President Harding has gone on record
In favor of the solid support of the
principles if tho National Defcfise act
and his utterances In favor of the
system are freely quoted by the supporters
of tho army of 150,000.
.Supporting the theory that the House j
bill defeats the purjiosc of the National I
Defense act. Gen. Ilarbord and Gen. j
Pershing are In entire sympathy. .
"I believe the appropriations as
passed by tliS House," Gen. Harbord
said, "is dangerously small ami imperils
the national defense, particularly
striking at the National Guard, the organized
reserves, tho reserve officers'
training camps and the civilian military
training camps. The measure so !
the purpose of the net of June 4, 1920,
cannot be carried out."
The House bill Is opposed by the Military
Affairs Committee, by President
Harding. Hecretaiy Weeks, Qons. Pershing
and Harbord, by the officers of
the regular army, by the National
Guard nnd organized reserves, hy the
American I-egion, Veterans of foreign
Wars, the Military Order of the World '
Var. and In fact by practically every)
organization having anything to do with
military matters.
tten. George C. Rlekards, chief of the
Militia Bureau, said:
"We have tho best National "Guard, j
no matter from what, point you view j
It, we have ever had In our history.
Hut when I say this T mean the guard j
of this day. if radical reductions such
as now are advocated by so many members
of Congress prevail I cannot .say
what, kind of u guard we wll) have
within a few months."
The McKenato hill. Introduced by Representative
McKenzle (III.) fixing the
pay of officers and men in the army and
navy, the Coast Guard and other coordinate
branches of the service, was
Vasaed by the House this evening by a .
vote of 21* to 2ri.
The pay of the lowest grade of en- ,
listed men In army and navy was increased
during the war. Ixtwest grade I
privates In the army are now receiving
$30 n month.
What Increases arc made are made on
the basis of length j)l service and technical
skill required. Home of the enlisted
men, under this bill, will receive as
high as $90 a month. The Increases In
pay for officers Is based on time of
service also.
