Warning the nation that exaggerated economy was im- pairing the regular army’s efficiency, Weeks recommended increasing the enlisted strength from 118,000 to 150,000 and the replenishment of munitions and equipment. ‘ks’ report adopted almost every recommengation made by Gen. John J. Pershing in the latter's re- port giving his final views on the needs of the army before he went into retirement. “In the administration of our mili- tary affairs, Bs in all other things there are limits, to economy,” said Weeks. .. . ‘We cannot much long- er ‘subsist the ‘surpluses of the past or upon essential reserve stcred up against the ‘future or with such in- tensive personnel efforts ' without impairing the efficiency of the em- ergency and its state readiness for emergencies.” A Ptogram of gradual expansion extending over a ten year period was outline Sy the secretary. Specific immediate recommendations based upon elaborata reports of the chiefs of the various military departments and particularly upon the proposals embodied in General Pershing’s final report included: 1.—Increase air service equipment and personnel to 3,000 officers and 25,009 men, + 2:—Regular army of 150,000-men and 13,000 officers, instead of pres- ent 118,000 and 12,000. 3.—Gradual. increase of national guard from the present strength of 176,000 to 250,000 and ultimately 460,- 000 men ds provided in the National Defense act. 4.—Annual intensive training of 25,000 to 30,000 organized reserves, instead of the present 6,500. . . 5.—Reserve officers training camps to. produce 7,000 officers annually instead of the’ present 4,000. 6.—Increased appropriations for citizens’ military training camps, which Jast June were attended by 49,294 ‘ment. 7.—New quarters for 6fficers and men, §.—Repleriishment and equipment. 9.—Better coast defense and im- Proved ‘storage facilities at Hawail and the Canal Zone. 10.—Promotion by © selection” in- stead of seniority of two per cent of officers up to grade of Major. * 11.—Amendment of law to permit enjistments in the regular army: for one or three years in the option of the secretary of war instead of the gption of ‘the recruit. “One: year enlistments are objec- tonable under normal ~ conditions, Primarily because of the additional expense :involved,” he. said. ich praise was given by the sec- retary to Governor-General Wood for:the latter's adminiatration of the Philippine Iélands. Wood, Weeks sail, “is’able now to report that ex- change has been stabilized and that, asa result of rigid economy and supervision the finances of the gov- ernnient are in a sound condition" and to report “satisfactory condi- tions of business and agricultural progress in health, sanitation.” Political agitation in the islands was minimized by. the report, which referred 'to the war department's at- titude toward independence at pres- ent at congressional hearing of the Fairchurch bill, ~ The year in Porto Rico has been one of prosperity and general prog- ress, Weeks sald.

BRITISH CRUSH SUDAN REVOLT (Continued from Page One) disaffection appeared to be that their regular British officers had been taken from the battalion and British subalterns substituted. - The blacks, after the manner of their king, struck out eastward, to- ward the desert. All the years of discipline under. British and Egyp- tian officers were shaken off. Many of them reverted to type and strip- ped to the waist. To make matters worse, the Su- danese took, with them two Veickers guns of the modern, rapid fire type. The road of the mutineers, whose departure for the desert had been unimpeded up to ths point, lay past the military hospital on the Nile and here a platoon of rugged, pictures- que Highlanders encountered them. For a time the Highlanders, with- out attacking, blocked the path ‘of the unofficered blacks. The latter muttered menacingly in Arabic, but for a time the two little forces, the one staunchly loyal, the other ag- gressively mutinous, faced one an- other. At this juncture the acting Sirdar game hurrying to. the scene. ‘ With) magnificent indifference to danger, Colonel Huddleston . Pasha atrode between the two groups and up to the Sudanese. Standing within a few yards of them, he command- ed them to return to their barracks. Every opportunity was given the blacks to withdraw, for the British were anxious above everything else not to precipitate bloodshed. In the end there was nothing to do but order the Highlanders, who had been waiting stolidly, to open fire. A volley poured into the ranks of the mutinous platoons. Severl fel’ dead and others were wounded, but they immediately returned the fire fight!ng like cornered rats with fan- atical fury. Rifles and machine guns spat fire at the Highlanders ranks, The Highlanders offiters took up post- tions in the van and were exposed to the blacks’ fire. Two officers fell dead. vates were wounded. Meanwhile, the fire of the British was wreaking havoc in the black ranks, the Sudanese wavered and broke: ‘i i A‘rush for the military hospital compound. was started. Leaving their dead and wounded, the Su- danese dashed into the © hospital grounds. A British doctor and two Syrian doctors who were in the path of the Eight pri- exhumed a sack of coin and cur- rency from a drawer. The money, “mounting to nearly $150, was con- fiscated as evidence and Judge Murray ruled’that Maher's knowl- edge of, its hiding place was good proof that his interest in the place was something more’than that of a meré spectator. The case against S. M. Hench, 922 East Fourth street, was con- tinued until next Tuesday on the plea of his attorney, R. H. Bullack, that’urgent business would keep him out of town until then. Hench de- clares.that he had dropped into-the Micdleton establishment a minute or so before the arrival of the of- ficers, in search of an employe from his grocery, store, ard had no other connection with .the place. : Sixteen men gathered in by Officer Plummer and his party at the same ume and held on gambling charges ‘were dismissed for lack of evidence. Hy R. Barnett preferred to forfeit his $50 bond rather than appear in court, Magistrete Murray deplored his Inability to impose any penalty on these suspects and voiced the hope that an ordinance might some day make inmates of gambling re- sorts Hable to punishment without demanding proof that» they were actually engaged in gambling—proof that usually is impossible to obtain during a raid.

By this darkness had fallen and it ‘was impracticable to attempt to rout out the blacks until Friday morn- ing. A-strong cordon of troops which \d come to reinforce the ‘High- lahders | surrounded’ the ‘. hospital Brounds and a’ watch was kept to Prevent the mutineers escaping by water. ° As soon as the great red sun had pushed its burning rim over the des- ert) horizon today, British ‘troops Were ordered in to clear out the re- dels. Meanwhile, the remainder of ‘the Sudanese had been well behaved, and the situation, despite its men ace, was well in hafid. % The attack at daybreak was made on, foot, but when the British ap- proached the compound where the main body of mutineers had taken refuge; a desultory fire began from the wooden walls. Owing to the lay of the land, it would have been cost- ly to storm the compound and as tho blacks had been given every op- portunity to surrender” the™ troops went into. action. The British reduced .the~ com- pound . to_ smoking, . flaming. ruins. From. these, shortly before noon, a handful of sullen Sudanese emerged and. surrendered. Fifteen had been killed within. the falling walls of the the compund. . ‘The mutiny was at an end.

Swanson also announced that he would block ‘any effort by Senator Borah, new chairman of’the foreign relations committee, to obtain ‘any action on his resolution calling for Russian recognition. Swanson served notice ‘that he would attempt to compel Borah to reopen the Ruesian hearing if he makes efforts on the floor to have his resolution adopted.

This may come late in January and according to information in posses- sion of Senator Gapper, farm bloc \dader, may propose a three-fold program including a demand for action on the Smith-Hoch rail rate resolution, a co-operative marketing bill and bill, to provide _ cheaper credit to livestock and cattle raisers.
