- CUTINMILITARY FORCES DEMANDED Borah Would Save Millions by Slashing Into Army and- Navy. Vigorous slashing of the expendi- tures for the Army and Navy were urged by Senator Borah-of Idaho, republican, as the only means of ma- terially reducing expenses of the gov- ernment during the present fiscal year and making it unnecessary to increase taxation.- He took as his text for a speech in the Senate yesterday the statement of Secretary Mellon, show- ing that expenditures must be re- duced at least $250,000.000 this year 1f the taxes are not to be raised. . The Idaho senator introduced a resolution authorizing and directing the Secretary of War to accept ap- plication for discharge from the Army until the Army has been reduced to 100,000 men, instead of the 150,000 men provided for in the appropriation law recently passed. Saving Estimated. In addressing the Senate, Senator Borali said that to reduce the Army to 100,000 men would save the gov- ernment between $50,000,000 and $70,000,000. - Senator Borah also urged that bat- tleship construction be suspended until revised designs can be prepared in the lih.quf-gllh? recent bombing tests off e Virginia® cap saving thereb: $240,000,000. 3 . % He urged, too, that the American troops be withdrawn from Germany, now costing about $1,000,000 to main- tain there® He proposed that the number of officers of the Army be cut to about one-half, thereby saving another, $25,000,000, and that still more offi- cials and clerks of the civil govern- ment be eliminated. Sees No Other Hope. “There are no places where we -can cut expenses to any appreciable ex- tent, except the Army and Navy,” said’ Senator Borah. “If we are not willing to do that, we might just as well tell the country that we will do very well if we hold expenditures and taxes where they now are and that there is no hope for reduction of taxes.’ Applications for discharges_from the Army before Secretary Weeks revoked the order permitting volun- tary discharges, Senator Borah said, ufficient to reduce th £, 100,000 men. el nator Nelson, republican, Minne- sota, urged reduction also in “super- numerary” officers, and Senator Borah d that it was “ludicrous” to have 14.000 officers for the present Army. There are nearly 2,000 officers in Washington alone, Senator Borah said. who added that $25.000,000 more might be saved by reducing the of- ficer personnel. “If we maintain this Army at 150.- 000 men and 14,000 officers I venture the prediotion that we (the repubii- cans) will have smaller membership in the next Senate and House,” said {21Y Mr. Borah, declaring the people were | ORIy those powers against which the demanding tax relief. —_— RSHALSOFACIG LABOR TROUBLES 250,000 Workmen Imbued - With Dominant Idea to.

N, August 5—An im- portant step in the direction of equality between the sexes was taken in the house of commons this afternoon as the Tesult of dis- cussions regarding the admission of women to positions in the civil service. A resolution, introduced by Bir Robert Stevensqn Horne, chancellor of the exchequer, was unanimously adopted, providing that after a transittenal period of three years women shall be ad- mitted to civil service in the United Kingdom under the same condi- tions and regulations as govern en. Regard, however, is to be had to the suitability of women for the situations to be filled. Women appointed to posts in the civil service will have the same status and authority as men, but, having regard to the financial position of the country, the question of re- muneration of women as compared with men shall be reviewed within three years. = A proviso was inserted in the resolution safeguarding the inter- ests of former service men. COLONIALS TO FORM THIRD OF BIG ARMY French Plan Would Account for Germany’s Population Advantage. - BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. opyright, 1921. August INDON, PARIS, 6. —1In “rance, French military and political circles there is an expansion of the fdea of reorganizing the entire French army on the basis of much larger utiliza- tion of the colored troops from the rench colonies than hereto- 0 The present head .of the French general staff has a project to make every division in the army. con- 8iSt of two regiments of white troops and one of colored troops, evem. in time of peace. i Realization of this ldea, according t6 its promoters, would have the dou- ble advantage of permitting a reduc- tion in the length of the perfod of military service in France and of compensating France for its smaller population as compared with Ger- many. Considering European France alone, the nation has barely 40,000, 0090 people to oppose Germany's 60.- 900000, but if the French colonial em- nclude: Fra piro were Included then France would on, 1INt Have Bigger Navy. ne important consideration project is that for the mebilizhtion af the” colonial effectives France would be obliged to have a larger navy than possible antagonist. Therefore colored contingents could be used any number are Germany and Russi‘a’.‘ particularly in the case of a Russo- German offensive alliance. The prac- ticability of the plan has been proved, it 1s thought, by the services rendered to France during the world war by its colonfal troops. Altogether- the French . colonles furnished 221,000 worknien and 545,000 combatants. The valor of the latter is attested by the fact that 20 per cent of them were killed. At the time of the armistice there were under arms eighty-three battalions of Algerian.and Tunislan riflemen, twelve battalions of Moroc- cans, ninety-two &t West Africans, seventeén from Indb-China, ten from Madagascar, one from Somalilang and one’from the French Pacific islands, a total of 216 battalions. The project now under consideration would include 300,000 colonials in France's peace-time army. It must be recalled that eighteenth century ideas of democracy and equality still per- sist very largely in France, with the result that there is practically no prejudice against Arabs and very lit- One serious question, French winter.

DRID August 6.—Spanish forees wifich Were landed at La Restinga, on the Moroccan coast southeast of Melil- la, - for the purpose of attadking the right wing of the Moorish tribesmen fighting against the Spanish troops i that district have encoungered seri- ous resistance, and their advance has been held up temporarily.. An official statement issued here at mid- night last night said, however, that the Spanish cruiser Catauna is pro- tecting the troops that have landed and is bombarding the enemy at zoco Arbas. Gourougou and other towns along the northeastern Morocca coast near Melilla have beer® blockad ed by the Spanish war vessels in that neighborhood. Little doubt remains that Spain has suffered a serious reverse in Mo- rocco, and that the situation at Melil- la threatens to become critical.. Re- ports persist that the cabinet of Pre- mier Allendesalazar may resign, and important _political _conversations have already taken place between King Alfonso and the foremost foliti- cal leaders of the country. Details of Retreat. Graphic detalls of the sufferings and hardships endured by Gen. Navarro, commanding the . Spanish troops at Melilla, and his soldiers since their enforced retreat, which began July 22, before superior forces of Moorish rebels, are being related by the news- paper La Liberta. Gen. Navarro, when the attack was launched, *had to fight his way back Into the fortified posi- tlons on Mount Arruit, resisting the feroclous _attacks which were con- tinually thrown against him by the rebels. When he ordered a retreat from the south toward Melilla with his 6,000 men, Navarro had to cut his way through a cordon of rebels, | who were determined to wipe him ou and on every inch of ground over which he retreated he lost men and material. When he reuched Mount Arruit Navarro had only 2,000 men left. Water was lacking. The nearest well to the fortification was 500 meters distant. After repelling attacks by the Moors for nine days and nights, Gen. N varro apparently abandoned his posi- tion® Aviators who on Wednesday circled over the positions supposed to have been held by the Spaniards were unable to locate Spanish troops there. This gave rise to the belief that Gen. Navarro and the remainder of his forces had evacuated the positions. GREEKS PLAN TO SEIZE SHIP SAILING FROM N. Y. Report Gul Djelmal Carries Mu- nitions for Turks Is Denied, _. However. By the Ascoclated Press. ATHENS. Aug! 5.—The Greek ministry of marine, the newspaper Hestia says, has recefved advices that the Turkish steamer Gul Djelmal sailed from New York, July 23, with a cargo of munitions for the Turkish nationalists. Greek warships have been instructed to hold up the steam- er and confiscate the cargo. NEW YORK, August 6—Walter B. Terhune, freight agent of the Export Transportation _Corporation, which acts as managing agent-for the Ot- toman-American Line, denied that the Turkish steamer Gul Djeimal carried any munitions of war for the Turkish nationalists when she sailed from New York July 23. “The manifests are avallable to anybody who wishes to check up the truth of my assrtions,” he said. “The only gun aboard was the captain’s re- volver. There were 1,300 to 1,400 tons of freight aboard and United States mails for Italy, Constantinople and Bulgaria. The freight consisted of about 400 tons of foodstuffs and re- lief supplies for the near east re- lief and glucose, oleo ofl, flour, cotton Zoods and manufactured goods for the other ports. The only machinery in the cargo was two automobliles for Rumania. “The Gul Djemal was chartered un- der the supervision of the Interallied council at Constantinople, and there is an officlal Greek representative on that council. She will stop at Naples, Constantinople, Varna, Constanza and Odessa on the easbound trip and Constantinople and Symrna on the westbound. One of the charterers, who is a naturalized Greek, is aboard her.” FINDS BAD CONDITIONS AT HOME FOR VETERANS -~ Col. Forbes Details Reports of Vice and Mismanagement at Insti- tution in Tennessee. Col. Forbes, director of the war risk insurance bureau, describes conditions at the Johnson City, Tenn,, Old Sol- diers’ Home, where er service men are being treated, so bad that unless Congress should act promptly the casualties there would be higher soon than during the war. He ap- peared Thursday before the special Senate committce investigating gov- ernment agencies dealing with the veterans. 2 A secret Investigating of the home, he told the committee, has just been com- pleted by agents of the bureau, and has revealed conditions of vice, corruption and immorality that are astounding. He said that 830 former service men are in _the home. ‘The war risk head brought as a wit- mess M. P, Mcinerny, the agent who wmade the investigation and who lived for a week as a “patient” at the home. The latter told the committee of having bought morphine, moonshine whisky and extract of ginger containing 95 per cent alcohol on the home reservation, de- clared that intoxication was cqmmon among the former service men, and as- serted that immoral women overrun the grounds on which the institutign is lo- cated. The witness said he had encoun- tered many patients who carried guns arms away. There was absolutely no discipline, he added, and the patients | “ran the place to the-extent of forc- ing the executive officers to withdraw | the guards from the dining rooms.” | Loaded dice and marked cards, he de- clared, were supplied By “parasites” from the outside and the patients “drained” of the money given them by the government. As Mr. Mclnerney gave detail aft- er detail of his week's experience, which ended Monday last, telling of the life of “those who desire to get ‘well,” Senator Walsh, democrat, Mas- sachusetts, demanded that the sit- uation be lald before Attorney Gen- eral Daugherty for action. + “TRANSIT WORKERS CUT.
