ARMY. Though the figures are unknown, it is stated that the director of the budget has requested that a further cut be made in the War Department estimates. Similar demands have also been made upon the Navy Depart- ment, and Secretary Denby has par- ticipated in several conferences with the director of the budget at the Navy Department. The organized reserves and Nation- al Guard, it is understood, will not escape the budget director's pruning knife, and he is pursuing the same policy with the Navy estimates. Co-operating with the chiet of finance, the legislative council of the War Department devoted over two months on the department's budget, and the estimates were reduced to the minimum requirements if the na- tional defense act Is to be car- ried out. Regular Army inter- ests were sacrificed in order that progress could be made in build- ing_up the Natlonal Guard and or- ganized reserves, and only modest Increases were included in the esti- mates for the National Guard, re- serve officers’ and citizens' military training camps. 1f the demands of the director of the budget are grant- ed by the Secretary of War, it is stated that it vl severely ecripple the junior components of the Army of the United States. Much concern has bren evinced by the authorities in the bureau of aero- nautics of the Navy Department that the Army air service will soon begin negotlations to secure control of the two glant rigld airships, the U. 8. 8. Shenandoah and the ZR-3. On the convening of Congress, It is stated, a bill will be Introduced which will place all rigid airships under War Department jurisdiction. The Army bases its clalm to op- erate the rigid airships upon the re port of the joint Army and Nav board, which has formulated a coast defense program. It is understood that the report places responsibility for defending the coast upon the Army, which is a joint function, shared by the Coast Artillery Corps and the nir service, the former de fending the bases from which the ter operates. This policy follows along the line of the well known principle in naval warfare that the fleet should be free to operate against the enemies’ high seas force, though co-operating in the coast defense. It is understood that the air serv- fee in preparing its coust defense plans has included rigid airship Possessing a wide sailing radius, it is argued that they would prove in- valuable in coast scouting work. Al- though the claim has been made tha the rigid aircraft could not operate effectively with the fleet, a different opinion ouv the subject is taken in naval circles T are convinced that the giant airship are a part « function with operations. controversy has been brewing f some time, and it may break into & open discussion at any time. { Preparation of a study for the fu- ture development of the Army of the United States under the pro of the amended national defens will soon be undertaken by the gen- eral staff of War Department. It will not be read on its convening in December, but it will reach Capitol 11ill before its ad- journment. Congress at the present {time has no official report from the general staff as to the needs for na- tional defense. und the study, it is {stated, will foliow along broader lines than has ever been atjempted here- tofore. In submitting a deficiency report it is regarded that the air service has established a precedent for similar reports to be filed by the other branches. Suggestions have been made to the general staff that they chould ask for similar reports from {the infantry, cavalry, fleld artillery, coast artillery, Signal Corps, chemi- cal warfare service and Corps of En- gineers. With reports from all of these branches in their possession, he general staff could proceed with comprehensive study relative to our defenses for a period of line vears Perfected by the ordnance depart- ment, a new device, called the strobo- cope, will be incorporated In the construction of the next tank.

Two years ago the project of con- solidating the coast guard with the Navy was worked out. but upon | feaching the White House the plans |Were disapproved. Neither the Navy Department or the coast guard de- | sirea such a.change, and both serv- ilces were relieved when the stamp of disapproval was put on the project. It is now proposed, however, to turn the coast guard's shore stations over to the Department of Commerce, {and its ships and personnel are to be absorbed by the Navy. It is stated that the Navy is not Interested in the change, and that the plan origi- nated with the Department of Com- merce, which will_support it. Doubt has been expressed whether Congress will give any serlous consideration to the proposed consolidation at the ap- proaching session. From certain quarters comes the report that In the event that the Brown plan for the reorganization of the federal government is adopted. which is very uniikeiy, the Marine Corps will be absorbed by the Army. Even with this absorption the Army would need more men if it performs its functions under the national de- fense act. Being extremely proud of its traditions, it is doubtful whether the marines would acquiesce for such a consolidation without strong pro tests. There was a time In_history when_some frictlon existed between the Marine Corps and the Navy, and took the soldlers of the sea off of naval vessels. This has all passed away, and the Marine Corps now plays’ the part of an advanced base force in American naval strategy. In the coming winter maneuvers the corps will play an important part as an expeditionary coast force. Friends of the Navy and Marine Corps in Con- gress wouid fight to the last against consolidating the marines:with the Army. Twenty-eight Army, Navy and Ma- ine Corps officers graduated from the line and staff officers’ course of instruction given at Warfare School, Edgewood Arsenal Md., November 9. Brig. Gen. Amos A. Fries, chief of chemical warfare, at- tended the exercises and made a brief address before the class. The class was composed of fifteen Army offi- cers, eleven Navy officers and officers from the Marine Corps. The course began September 15 and covered gen- eral subjects. Maj. Gen. Willard A.

Final agreement has been reached between the budget and the Navy Department on the appropriations to be submitted to Congress. While offi- clal figures are withheld, it is un- derstood that the total figures for the operation of the naval establishment for next year are several million dol- w:rbelaw the amount available this While this necessarily means the abandonment of the Navy's fight for 5,000 additional men and drastic cur- tailment along nearly every line of naval activities, departmental heads feel that it will'be possible to “carry on,” even though no progress can be made even with the strictest ““The real figh e real fight is still to come, as the largest amounts in_dispute were for new construction, base projects, modernization of the ‘battleships and other items thrown out by the budget because there has been no congres- slonal authorizatalon for them.

McCully, emmanding scouting fleet, is approved. He proposes that in the future the midshipmen on their annual practice cruises do practically all the work aboard ship, taking the place of most of the regular crew, and thus learn more thoroughly the business from the ground up. He believes that by | placing on them the responsibility i for operating the ships the value of! the cruises will be greatly enhanced. To meet the objections of com- manding officers of the ships to be used that it will disrupt their organi | zations to take most of thelr crew off the ships for so long a time, the ad- | miral proposes that the men spend 1 that period taking the trade courses 1at the Hampton Roads schools.

He proposes to have recruits kept at the training stations for three weeks, just long enough to learn the fundamentais and then be sent aboard ship to begin their train- ing afloat instead of keeping them at the stations for a period of eight weeks. | 1 A New Alibi.

Few forelgn statesmen visting the United States have received so warm and spontaneous a welcome at the hands of the American people as was accorded to the former prime minis- ter of Great Britaln, recent guest of this country. There is something strange and romantic about his cz reer which appeals to the adventur- ous gpirit of the American people. He is a self-made man in the best sense and traditions of this country. A man of humble origin, without the becking of either wealth or birth, he has swung himseif to the highest position within the gift of one of the greatest nations. In this respect there is something in his career which strangely touches that of a_fellow countryman of his—Benjamin Disrac- ii. Brilliant and resourceful, he ha been called an opportunist in state: manship, like his great predecessor the premiership of Great Britain, and jike him, too, he has been blamed for many of the ills of his country and the world.

An old myth has been revived again. Much speculation has wasted on what became of the ten lost tribes of the Kingdom of Israel Their whereabouts has for centuries heen unknown. There have been countless vague and fabulous theories pcerning their ident t the globe # has carefully arched for their ence. Many who care little for Israel alive have been proud to trace their lineage to Israel extinct. That the English peo- ple are the remnants of the ten lost tribes Is a theory which was mues in vogue at one thme. Many a learned treatise and much scientific data have been collected to prove this theory. That this supposition should be re- vived again when the position of the Jew is none too enviable may be sur- prising, vet is a fact. At a recent con- gress of “Israel” an organization of non-Jewish Englishmen, who claim descendance of the ten lost tribes of Israel, the statement was made de- claring the belfef that the English people are none other than the rem- nants of the ten lost tribes of Anclent Israel.

Unless measures will quickly be taken against the exodus of Jews from Germany by checking the anti- ! Semitic propaganda in that countr; there Is every likelihood that not much will soon be left of the at one time flourishing Jewish communities in the “Fatherland.” Large numbers of Jews, It is_reported, especially those recently from Russia, are de- parting in masses for other parts of Europe on account of the steadily growing pressure of anti-Semitism and the difficult economic conditions induced by the fall of the mark. The position of the Jews in Ger- many, never too secure, has of late become intolerable. Nothing short of expulsion or extermination would satisfy the German anti-Semites. All restraint seems to have been aban- doned, and anti-Semitic agitation gos on unhindered throughout German if no.pressure will be brought to b from the outside, the greatest fear i for the security of the Jews from Ger- many may be entertained. * ok K * ted French Philanthropist Organ- izes for Support of Palestine.

One particular Sun- day afternoon he stayed rather late and the family was beginning to get restless. No one realized this any better than did Clark. but it was just this consciousness of the situation that made him hesitate to take any action. Finally he bethought himsel? of a pian of action. Taking his watch out of his pocket, he looked at it a moment, then asked: “IU's getting rather late, Martha what time do you dine on Sunday evening.” But Ruben, Martha's little brother. took matters into his own hands at this point. “Just as soon as you go home,” he repliéd knowingly
