Ttwn St Musical Mention Mrs. Carrie Jacobs Bond, composer of several of the most popular songs of recent years, including "The End of a Perfect Day," a few days ago addressed one of the largest gatherings ever assembled In the Congressional I Club and told members of Congress and their wives how it feels to write music. Mrs. Bond will sail this week for a long cruise of the Mediter¬ ranean, and her appearance before the Congressional Club was her fare¬ well public appearance in this coun- try for many months. "I find my greatest pleasure In writing songs to appeal to the tender¬ er emotions; songs that may make a I man or woman feel more deeply after ¦Inging or hearing them." I While Mrs. Bond told of song writ¬ ing and why she has made it a life's] work, she came at last to the origin and inspiration of "The End of a Perfect Day," which is still sung in thousands of homes, although It is; many years old. This song, Mrs. Bond said, was born of the desert. It came to her late one afternoon as she roamed the great expanses of the west. A beautiful setting sun, the solitude about her, and the appeal of the desert and nature, brought to her the thought that another perfect day seemed to be ending. I In her mind little verses of content¬ ment and rest took form. As she dressed for dinner she stopped dur¬ ing her toilet and scribbled the verses on the back of an envelope. That night the music came to her.and ever since then the song has been. regarded as one of the immortals! among the popular songs of today. Mrs. Bond best likes to compose songs of that sort. 80 she toIC the Congressional Club. "Jajz" and "rag- time" offerings are not in her reper¬ toire. She said she had rather touch the heartstrings than to put the feet of dancers in motion. Practically all of her compositions have In them | something of the lilt and swing and appeal of "the perfect day." "I played and sang this song so often." said Mrs. Bond, "that I rather grew tired of my own composition. I almost resolved not to *lng it again. Then one day I- mfct a soldier who had just returned from the world war. He told me of one afternoon when he walked along the trenches amid the dead bodies of many of his com¬ rades. Although the ending of his day was anything but perfect, he told me that he found himself humming my song Just because there was something consoling in the music of It. It helped him to bear up under the strain. "That tribute alone was enough to repay me for having written the song. I am happy if I can compose songs that may prove of comfort to some¬ body and bring out the better side and the sweeter and deeper emotions of human nature. It is for that I strive." In her cruise of the Mediterranean and its ports Mrs. Bond expects to spend six to nine months, and she probably will return with one or more songs of the warm seas. The choir of Ingram Congregational Church, under the direction of Mrs. Henry Hunt McKee. has in prepara¬ tion the cantata of "The Incarnation." by Adam Geibel. Dr. Geihel will come down from Philadelphia to play the organ for this rendition. The solo parts will be sung by Netta Craig, soprano; Flora Brylawski, contralto: I.ewis Thompson, tenor: Charles Trowbridge Tittman, bass. The musical program will he given Sunday, Febru¬ ary 29. at Ingram Church. On Friday. February 24, Dr. Oeibel will give a lecture-recital at Ingram Church, when he will have the assist- ance of the choir of the church.

Dixie Club. The Arts Club of Washington in¬ troduced a new composer, Carlte von Horst, Tuesday evening in a varied program given by Miss Grace Nelson, soprano; Richard Lorleberg, cellist, and Albert Shefferman, baritone, with the composer at the piano. Mme. von Horst, who is a daughter of the late D. J. Partello, a prominent resi¬ dent of Georgetown and for many years in the consular service of the United States, is one of the most versatile of modern composers, writ¬ ing equaily good music for the voice, stringed instruments and orchestra. The song» included "Appeal to the Virgin," "The Little Dream Princess." "Love's Spring" and "Sir Spring Hac Come to Town," all sung by Miss Nel¬ son, whose clear, appealing voice is well suited to them. "A Teaming Heart," "Death Strode One Night," "I Came to Thee," "Love's Appeal." "A Nocturn" and "Pain Is a Smith" were all well delivered by Mr. ShefTer¬ man, whose voice Is of rich, mellow quality and of good range. The cello numbers included Sara¬ bands Barcarolle and Poems d'Amour, all of which are delightful composi¬ tions and worth-while additions to literature for the cello. The last named is a veritable gem. and Mr. Lorleberg graciously repeated It in response to the enthusiasm of the audience. All the numbers on the program were marked by close har¬ monies. distinctive style and vivid descriptive power. Mine, von Horst is spending the winter here settling the estate of her father, from whom she inherits a collection of fine vio¬ lins, among which is one that is known as the "King of the Amatls," and a number of French bows, now so difficult to obtain. Mme. von Horst's new opera will be produced for the first time in May. Mrs. Marie Howe Spurr had a gath¬ ering of her piano pupils recently, those furnishing the program being Mrs. Robert P. Barker. Mrs. Thomas Durham. Leila Foster and Virginia Lee Uarker. The selections included studies, solos and dueta by Bach. Becker, Gurlitt. McDowell. Behr, Vohlfahrt and others. At the con¬ clusion of the program, by request, Mrs. Spurr gave a group by Bach, Schumann and Liszt. Kthel Garrett and Cecilia O'Dea. students of the Henry Kaspar School of Music, delight*) the members and guests of the Arts Club last fiunday evening by a well rendered program of piano numbers. Miss Garrett'» se¬ lections were marked by excellent technique, especially in the Brahm's Rhapsodie and Romance in D flat, by Schuett. and Miss O'Dea's most ac¬ ceptable number was the Valie In D fiat, by John Powell, which dis¬ played both temperament and color. Among their other numbers were Scherzo in B minor, by Chopin; Shep¬ herd's Hey. by Percy Grainger, with 1 encore. "Juba Dance," by Nathaniel Dett. Mifg O'Dea; Impromptu in A flat by Schubert. Miss (iarrett. with encore, Tarantelle in A flat, by Chopin. Students and sisters of the Visitation Convent. Georgetown, enjoyed a musi¬ cal treat Thursday evening, when Miss Xetta '"raig presented J. K. S. Kin- sellu. bass, in a program of song. Mr. Klnsella was accompanied at the piano by Mrs. Kinseila in the follow¬ ing numbers: "Song of Hyhrias the Cretan" (Hail), "An Emblem" (Thompson), "Three for Jack" (Squires), "But Who Man. Abide." from the "Messiah.-* by Hanael; "Ah. "Tis a Dream" (Parks). "Irish Fti- allller" (Squires). "Break. Break. Break" (Servln), "Love in the South¬ land" (Canfleld), "Border Ballad" (Cowen). and the following encores; "The Mighty Deep" (Jude) and "Time Wan 1 Proved the Mountains" (Lohr). Mrs. Frances Karper Lawson left Thursday for a series of recitals in Ohio. Virginia, Pennsylvania and North Carolina. Mr. Charles S. Wengerd announces the second of his moments musical series to be given tomorrow at 8:30 p.m. In the auditorium of the Y. M. C. A. Mr. Wengerd is presenting ihc Or¬ pheus Quartet in Cadman's beautiful cantata, or song cycle, "The Morning of the Year," for four solo voices. This work Is divided into two parts, the first representing the first two months of spring, March and April, and the Mcond part lh« month <.f May. Th# solo, duet and quartet numbers of this work arc remarkable in their portrayal of the spirit of spring.

Great interest attaches to the return of Hotlis Edison Devanny to sing the role of the High Priest of Dagon In "Samson and Delilah," which Is to be given by the Washington Opera Com¬ pany at the National Theater on Friday afternoon, February 24. Mr. Davenny, who is now in New York, was in Washington during the period of the war. connected with train¬ ing camp activities and later with com¬ munity service. He has back of him several successful seasons as a concert artist, and his work was soon brought to the attention of Director Albion of the Washington Opera Company, who, recognizing his ability, persuaded him to attempt the rendition of certain grand opera roles for which he was so emi¬ nently fitted. Mr. Davenny made his operatic debut in the role of Tonlo In "Pagliaccl." The beauty of his voice and his histrionic ability took the audience by storm. The next role in which he achieved even more notable success was that of Mephistoin "Faust." In this performance the tribute was universally accorded him of comparing his rendition with that of the great Plancon. Mr. Davenny will undoubtedly repeat these former successes when he makes his third operatic appearance in the "Samson" production. The Glee Club, composed of mem¬ bers of the Washington Alumnae Club of the Mu Phi Epsilon Sorority, gave the musical program at the tea last week for the League of American Pen Women, rendering the following numbers: "Little Mother of Mine." H. C. Burleigh: "Deep River," W. Arms Fisher: "Swing Along," Will M. Cooke; "Star of Gold," Mana Zucca. and "The Shoogy Shoo," Grace Mayhew. Miss Dorothee Boucher, pianist, gave a delightful program last Mon¬ day afternoon at the home of Mrs. Karl Jorss, assisted by Arsenio Ralon, violinist. She also played during the week at the Peabody Conservatory of Music in Baltimore, rendering "Con¬ certo," by Grieg. The Nordlca Mandolin and Guitar Orchestra, directed by Walter T. Holt, was heard in recital last Mon¬ day in Columbia Hall under the aus¬ pices of the Takoma Park Co-opera- tlve Welfare Association.

Victor Herbert; a medley of popular airs, arranged by Miss A. E. Hill, and "Memoirs d'Amour," by Mr. Holt, an encore number, were the selections pre¬ sented by the orchestra. Miss Clara Young, soprano, was heard In two groups of songs; "Hom¬ ing." Del F:iego; ."The Answer." Terry, and "Ha Curly-Headed Baby," Out sain, and "The Big Brown Bean." Mana Zucla. Mr. George Harold Mil¬ lar. baritone, rendered "Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind," Sarjeant, and a group of short selections, "Duna," Mc- Gill; "Sylvia," Speaks; "Vale." Rus¬ sell. and "Ho! Hilly Ho," Kerrison. Miss Marjorie Davis played the ac¬ companiments. Hawaiian guitar solos, selected, were given by Mr. E. Raymond Acton, and Mr. Holt and Mr. Charles A. Con- rard contributed a mandolin and guitar duet. "Walt* de Concert," Sclgel, and the same composer's "Ga¬ votte Brilliant" for an encore.

The Choral Art Society of Wash¬ ington held Its first rehearsal at the Washington College of Music Thurs¬ day evening, with an attendance of over eighty charter members. After spending a short time organizing, and with an outline by Harold Miller, director, of the purpose of the or¬ ganization, rehearsal was started on "The Creation," which is to be given during muslo week at Central High School, with the Washington College of Music orchestra accompanying the choruses and H.

Robert Rue*- ARMY AND NAVY NEWS BT CART. ARTHUR G. DUNCA1V, U. S. R. °1 THE ARMY | That the number of commissioned personnel will not be reduced below the 12,000 mark wag the opinion ex¬ pressed last week by several mem¬ bers of the congressional committees on military affairs. The recent state¬ ment by a western senator that a re¬ duction of the Army to 6,500 officers and 100,000 men will effect a saving of $100,000,000 a year Is being checked as to Its correctness by member* of the committees. Questioned as to the senator's statement, doubt was ex¬ pressed by members of the commit¬ tee as to whether <a radical cut of that magnitude would not in the end prove most costly, particularly at this time, when officers and men of the regular establishment are charged with the task of organisation and training of the other two components of the Army of the United States.the National Guard and Organised Re¬ serves. It is also pointed out that to effect so radical a cut would mean- the deterioration of camps, supplies, schools of Instructions and m»ny other functions with which the Army Is held accountable. . Problem of Offlcer Personnel. Unfortunately the rapid promotion iof officers which has stripped the Army of junior lieutenants is having a detrimental effect along angles not anticipated. Had promotions been temporarily postponed until a feas¬ ible plan had been worked out. the present difficulties might have been of a minor nature. Facing the situa¬ tion as it now exists, with the fact that an Army must have a sufficient number of Junior officers, and not too top-heavy in the higher ranks, friends of the Army in and. out of Congress are at a loss to explain the present predicament, or to suggest tlie rem¬ edy. There appears no precedent to follow which only tends to make the problem more acute. In the face "I a national plea for economy, each promotion increased the total cost_of the commissioned personnel, w lthout providing for the addltionil l.ay of necessary lieuterants with which_the Army Is now wit-out. It is hoped by friends of the service that an equit¬ able plan to correct the present un¬ fortunate situation will soon he fected. An Efficient R. O. T. C. I'nlt. It is refreshing to read a recent re¬ port received by the ^ from the University of to the military instruction given Its students since 1862. Today that unWer- sitv claims the largest unit of the R- v. T. C. In the country. With twenty offl- cers of the Regular Army. on duty as Instructors in the various branches. the student body has formed a brigade headquarters, comprising one regiment of cavalry, two infantipr reglments. an artillery regiment. *"d, ®i«r corps battalion, two squartrons fobser vat ion) air service and a military of 130 students; a total of ~<25 students taking the two-year c°ur«&Kvenmale student must enroll in the military classes, for which financial aid Is gUen the university by act of Congress^ Back In 1S71 during the Chicago toe, the mil itary training corps of thei unlversitS was called by the state and did m litart. service in the city for a long Pert°? connection with the fpderal aml sLate troops. The report states that the uni versitv has the largest armory in the country devoted to reBerve officers train Ing camp work and that its K. O T members are always ready to answer anv emergency calls that the state may make, either in units or as a brigade. Retired Pay Statns Inekanged. Saving retired officers who have been promoted from a reduction in their pay is about all that can be expected by the new legislation. There is little chance that retired pay shall con¬ sist of three-fourths of ail allowances as well as three-fourths base pa>\ Such proposal, regardless of its merit, has not been considered even as a tentative provision by the Joint congressional committee now con¬ sidering service compensation. Any additions to the pay project submitted by service representatives such as an increase in allowances for reOlred. officers might only disturb their present status of pay. by repealing the existing law authorizing advance- inent of such officers assigned to ac¬ tive duty. The only favorable outlook !for certain retired officers, according to the opinion of Representative Mc- IKenzie. Is that the proposed pay scheme may effect a slight increase. Future of Army Horse*. When It is realized that the peace¬ time use and demand for horses and mules In our Army are almost In¬ significant, It can be seen that in emergency the Army must depend on the commercial supply of the country for the hundreds of thousands of animals that will be needed. For this reason officers In the remount service aver that a close relation must exist between Army remount and commer¬ cial breeding activities The most encouraging point In that connection, officers claim, is the fact that the beat of the commercial types of animals ure identical with the types desired for military work. The Joint aim Is the production of more and- better ani¬ mals and the elimination of worthless scrubs, so as to provide In emergency sufficient animals for both the Army and commercial pursuits. Remount officers of the Army state that an erroneous idea appears to exist in some quarters that the American R&- mount Association, .which, through the generosity of several of Its mem- bers, has been able to donate to the government a number of valuable stalliona, is. In connection with the remount service, attempting to In¬ duce farmers and breeders to substi¬ tute the breeding of riding horses for those of the draft type. This, they claim, "is decidedly not so"; that the main efforts of the joint serv¬ ices have been expended In the en¬ couragement of the breeding of suit¬ able riding horses, the production of which type is not suffloient to meet the requirements In catfe of an emer¬ gency. This fact, they contend, was forcibly brought out in the late war, when the government purchasing offioers of the various nations found it impossible to obtain good typ® rid¬ ing horses in large numbers. mann. pianist, and Mr. Harry EdwanJ Mueller, organist.

Named as the personal representa¬ tive of President Harding' and of the United States In Haiti, Brig. Gen. John H. Russell of the Marine Corps, will leave for the Island on special duty, with a view of clearing? up complaints in general which Involved American occupation. Naval officials agree that Gen. Rus¬ sell Is particularly qualified for the; task, due to previous experience of similar character both In Haiti and In the far east, during which service he has made an exceptional record for | wisdom, tact and conservative judg-1 ment. During his two terms of duty as commanding general of the marines in Haiti Gen. RuBsell has been ex¬ tremely successful In dealing with the > situation arising in that republic and Is widely popular with the natives. During October, 1919. he faced a situa¬ tion Including widespread disorder and banditry on a considerable scale. By his policy In restoring order and in pacifying the Island he won the general approval of the Haitian public and was awarded the Haitian medaille militalre by President Dartlguenave for his services in behalf of that re¬ public; For his work during the same period be was also awarded the Navy cross. Prior to his service In Haiti Gen. Russell represented the United States aa commandant of the marine detatchment at Peking, China. Dur¬ ing the Spanish-American war he served on board the U. S. S. Massa¬ chusetts during the blockade of the Spanish squadron at Santiago, sub¬ sequently serving with the marlneB in Guam, Honolulu, Panama and in other foreign stations. Naval Notes, Secretary Denby has written a letter of commendation to Lieut. William Nelson, Construction Corps, U. S. N., in appreciation of his excellent work In connection with the salvaging of the United States destroyer De L<ong, which went aground in December at Half Moon bay, Calif. The Secretary's let¬ ter Included a report from Rear Ad¬ miral C. F. Hughes, whloh depicted details of the performance. The U. S. S. Michigan, the second ship In the Navy to bear that name, will be placed out of commission at the Philadelphia navy yard on Febru¬ ary 11, after twelve years' service. Building of the Michigan was author¬ ized in March, 190S. She was launched Newly Appointed Inspector General of the U. S. Army MAJ. GEX. ELI A. HELMIOK. in May, 1908. and her sponsor was the daughter of Senator Truman Newberry, who at that time was Secretary of the Navy. In January ."he was commis¬ sioned and assigned to the Atlantic fleet. The first Michigan, now the Wolverine, was built soon^ after the passage of the fortification act of 1841, which gave the President the authority to equip war vessels on the upper lakes. She was the first iron vessel built for the United States Navy and was com¬ missioned in 1842. letters of commendation have been sent by the Secretary of the Navy to seven members of the crew of the U. S. S. Huron, flagship of tho Asiatic fleet, for their heroism in rescuing four of their companions from a gas-filled flour hold. Two seamen, Anton Huhn and John J. Morrill, lost their lives 'in line bf duty" in the catastrophe in which the commended seamen displayed their heroism. The men who received letters of commendation froqp Secre¬ tary Denby are Walter Thomas Foley, Frank Creerg Heckard, Clarence Ac¬ ton Howell, Wesley Alonzo Her, Harry Kramer, Merton Henry Man¬ gold and William Wacker. VETERANS OF GREAT WAR An entertainment and celebration was held last night in honor of Lin- coin's birthday by Lincoln Post, No. 17, the American Legion. at the Racquet Club. The celebration took the place of the regular midmonthly meeting of the post. Several black¬ face numbers were given by James Hayes and S, T. Hitch. Dr. Joseph Fournier sang several solos and there was a battle royal between several colored boys. Maj. Leon Fraser was chairman of the committee of ar¬ rangements. At the last meeting of the remain¬ der of the post ufficers were elected and committee chairmen appointed, as follows: Thomas F. Gormley, mas¬ ter-at-arms; Frank J. Kelly, ser¬ jeant-at-arms; Harry W. Chamber¬ lain, colorbearer; J. C. Collins, his¬ torian; Dr. I. L Hirschman, surgeon, and J. F. Brennan, assistant adju¬ tant. E. T. Hitch was appointed chair¬ man of the entertainment committee, Leon Fraser, chairman of the ways and meanr committee; Thomas J. Ahearn, chairman of the membership committee, and Dr. J. A. Ballard, chairman of the welfare committee. At the last meeting of Equality- Walter Reed Post, Veterans of For¬ eign Wars, Representative Upshaw of Georgia delivered an address, in which he said he is in favor of the soldier bonus. New members admitted were Rep¬ resentative Lamar JefTeries of Ala¬ bama. Daniel J. Penton, Ralph Ogle, Maj. Herbert B. Montgomery and Ivan J. Slater. Edward S. Bettleheim, chairman of the national legislative committee, addressed the meeting. The Metro¬ politan Quartet sang several num¬ bers. James M. Harigan was in charge of the arrangements. Secretary of War Weeks has been asked by the Veterans of Foreign Wars to withdraw his opposition to the proposed law granting Regular Army retirement to the disabled emergency officers of the world war. The Secretary has promised to give the matter his attention. Four other veterans' organizations joined in urg¬ ing Secretary Weeks to withdraw his opposition. Congress is said to be willing to pass the bill If the War Department aproves and the opposi¬ tion Is thought to have been because of the policies of the general staff. Han ford MasNider, national com¬ mander of the American Legion, re¬ fused to consider an appointment as United States senator from Iowa, to succeed Senator Kenyan, who has been appointed to the federal bench. This announcement was made In Bal- tlmore, while he was attending an American Legion meeting there. The audience was told of the offer by Col. Washington Bowie, Jr., who' said Commander MacNider deolined the offer, to remain at the nead of the American Legion. At its last meeting the Henry C. Spengler Post, American Legion, adopted a resolution to Join, for the purpose of social entertainments, with the Columbia Post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Veterans' Asso¬ ciation of Id District of Columbia In¬ fantry. Many of the Spengler Post members are also members of one or both of these other organizations, and it is believed that this combination will result In a much more attractive .and successful social program. Following the business session, sev¬ eral reels of interesting motion plctflres were shown. These pic¬ tures were taken by the official pho¬ tographers of the War Department in Franca and many of them showed our troops participating in prominent engagements. After the exhibition the ladies' auxiliary o'i the post served refreshments. * The veterans organization and the ex-servloe men in Congress want the Army courts-martial system changed so that the enlisted man will have a better chance of getting a "square deal." Legislation is being introduced into Congress to broaden the articles of war to make courts-martial more Impartial. The Veterans of Foreign Wars, through its national legislative committee, has presented Its views in conference with the "veteran bloc" in Congress and is assisting in draw¬ ing up-a comprehensive measure look¬ ing to a complete reform In the pres¬ ent system. The Veterans of-Foreign Wars Is arranging to bestow the medal and Insignia of the order upon the un¬ known French soldier buried under the Are de Triumphs, in Paris. Ar¬ rangements have been made with tt\£ French government for the cere¬ monies, which will take place July 4. according to" present plans, and a note of "heartfelt thanks and appre¬ ciation" from the French government has been received here by M.

Musical MentionMrs. Carrie Jacobs Bond, composer

of several of the most popular songsof recent years, including "The Endof a Perfect Day," a few days agoaddressed one of the largest gatheringsever assembled In the Congressional

I Club and told members of Congressand their wives how it feels to writemusic. Mrs. Bond will sail this weekfor a long cruise of the Mediter¬ranean, and her appearance beforethe Congressional Club was her fare¬well public appearance in this coun-try for many months.

"I find my greatest pleasure Inwriting songs to appeal to the tender¬er emotions; songs that may make a

I man or woman feel more deeply after¦Inging or hearing them."

I While Mrs. Bond told of song writ¬ing and why she has made it a life's]work, she came at last to the originand inspiration of "The End of aPerfect Day," which is still sung inthousands of homes, although It is;many years old. This song, Mrs.Bond said, was born of the desert.It came to her late one afternoon asshe roamed the great expanses of thewest. A beautiful setting sun, thesolitude about her, and the appeal ofthe desert and nature, brought to herthe thought that another perfect dayseemed to be ending.

I In her mind little verses of content¬ment and rest took form. As shedressed for dinner she stopped dur¬ing her toilet and scribbled the verseson the back of an envelope. Thatnight the music came to her.andever since then the song has been.regarded as one of the immortals!among the popular songs of today.Mrs. Bond best likes to compose

songs of that sort. 80 she toIC theCongressional Club. "Jajz" and "rag-time" offerings are not in her reper¬toire. She said she had rather touchthe heartstrings than to put the feetof dancers in motion. Practically allof her compositions have In them

| something of the lilt and swing andappeal of "the perfect day."

"I played and sang this song sooften." said Mrs. Bond, "that I rathergrew tired of my own composition.I almost resolved not to *lng it again.Then one day I- mfct a soldier whohad just returned from the world war.He told me of one afternoon whenhe walked along the trenches amidthe dead bodies of many of his com¬rades. Although the ending of hisday was anything but perfect, he toldme that he found himself hummingmy song Just because there wassomething consoling in the music ofIt. It helped him to bear up underthe strain."That tribute alone was enough to

repay me for having written the song.I am happy if I can compose songsthat may prove of comfort to some¬body and bring out the better sideand the sweeter and deeper emotionsof human nature. It is for that Istrive."In her cruise of the Mediterranean

and its ports Mrs. Bond expects tospend six to nine months, and sheprobably will return with one ormore songs of the warm seas.

The choir of Ingram CongregationalChurch, under the direction of Mrs.Henry Hunt McKee. has in prepara¬tion the cantata of "The Incarnation."by Adam Geibel. Dr. Geihel will comedown from Philadelphia to play theorgan for this rendition. The soloparts will be sung by Netta Craig,soprano; Flora Brylawski, contralto:I.ewis Thompson, tenor: CharlesTrowbridge Tittman, bass. The musicalprogram will he given Sunday, Febru¬ary 29. at Ingram Church.On Friday. February 24, Dr. Oeibel

in the role of Tonlo In "Pagliaccl." Thebeauty of his voice and his histrionicability took the audience by storm.

ARMY AND NAVY NEWSBT CART. ARTHUR G. DUNCA1V, U. S. R.

°1 THE ARMY |That the number of commissioned

personnel will not be reduced belowthe 12,000 mark wag the opinion ex¬pressed last week by several mem¬bers of the congressional committeeson military affairs. The recent state¬ment by a western senator that a re¬duction of the Army to 6,500 officersand 100,000 men will effect a savingof $100,000,000 a year Is being checkedas to Its correctness by member* ofthe committees. Questioned as to thesenator's statement, doubt was ex¬pressed by members of the commit¬tee as to whether <a radical cut ofthat magnitude would not in the endprove most costly, particularly at thistime, when officers and men of theregular establishment are chargedwith the task of organisation andtraining of the other two componentsof the Army of the United States.theNational Guard and Organised Re¬serves. It is also pointed out that toeffect so radical a cut would mean- thedeterioration of camps, supplies,schools of Instructions and m»nyother functions with which the ArmyIs held accountable. .

Problem of Offlcer Personnel.Unfortunately the rapid promotioniof officers which has stripped the

Army of junior lieutenants is havinga detrimental effect along angles notanticipated. Had promotions beentemporarily postponed until a feas¬ible plan had been worked out. thepresent difficulties might have beenof a minor nature. Facing the situa¬tion as it now exists, with the factthat an Army must have a sufficientnumber of Junior officers, and not tootop-heavy in the higher ranks, friendsof the Army in and. out of Congressare at a loss to explain the presentpredicament, or to suggest tlie rem¬edy. There appears no precedent tofollow which only tends to make theproblem more acute. In the face "Ia national plea for economy, eachpromotion increased the total cost_ofthe commissioned personnel, w lthoutproviding for the addltionil l.ay ofnecessary lieuterants with which_theArmy Is now wit-out. It is hoped byfriends of the service that an equit¬able plan to correct the present un¬fortunate situation will soon hefected.

An Efficient R. O. T. C. I'nlt.It is refreshing to read a recent re¬

port received by the ^from the University ofto the military instruction given Itsstudents since 1862. Today that unWer-sitv claims the largest unit of the R- v.T. C. In the country. With twenty offl-cers of the Regular Army. on duty asInstructors in the various branches. thestudent body has formed a brigadeheadquarters, comprising one regimentof cavalry, two infantipr reglments. anartillery regiment. *"d, ®i«rcorps battalion, two squartrons fobservation) air service and a militaryof 130 students; a total of ~<25 studentstaking the two-year c°ur«&Kvenmalestudent must enroll in the militaryclasses, for which financial aid Is gUenthe university by act of Congress^ BackIn 1S71 during the Chicago toe, the military training corps of thei unlversitSwas called by the state and did m litart.service in the city for a long Pert°?connection with the fpderal aml sLatetroops. The report states that the universitv has the largest armory in thecountry devoted to reBerve officers trainIng camp work and that its K. O Tmembers are always ready to answeranv emergency calls that the state maymake, either in units or as a brigade.

Retired Pay Statns Inekanged.Saving retired officers who have been

promoted from a reduction in theirpay is about all that can be expectedby the new legislation. There is littlechance that retired pay shall con¬sist of three-fourths of ail allowancesas well as three-fourths base pa>\Such proposal, regardless of itsmerit, has not been considered evenas a tentative provision by the Jointcongressional committee now con¬sidering service compensation. Anyadditions to the pay project submittedby service representatives such as anincrease in allowances for reOlred.officers might only disturb theirpresent status of pay. by repealingthe existing law authorizing advance-inent of such officers assigned to ac¬tive duty. The only favorable outlook!for certain retired officers, accordingto the opinion of Representative Mc-IKenzie. Is that the proposed payscheme may effect a slight increase.

Future of Army Horse*.When It is realized that the peace¬

time use and demand for horses andmules In our Army are almost In¬significant, It can be seen that inemergency the Army must depend onthe commercial supply of the countryfor the hundreds of thousands ofanimals that will be needed. For thisreason officers In the remount serviceaver that a close relation must existbetween Army remount and commer¬cial breeding activities The mostencouraging point In that connection,officers claim, is the fact that the beatof the commercial types of animalsure identical with the types desired formilitary work. The Joint aim Is theproduction of more and- better ani¬mals and the elimination of worthlessscrubs, so as to provide In emergencysufficient animals for both the Armyand commercial pursuits. Remountofficers of the Army state that anerroneous idea appears to exist insome quarters that the American R&-mount Association, .which, throughthe generosity of several of Its mem-bers, has been able to donate to thegovernment a number of valuablestalliona, is. In connection with theremount service, attempting to In¬duce farmers and breeders to substi¬tute the breeding of riding horses forthose of the draft type. This, theyclaim, "is decidedly not so"; thatthe main efforts of the joint serv¬ices have been expended In the en¬couragement of the breeding of suit¬able riding horses, the production ofwhich type is not suffloient to meetthe requirements In catfe of an emer¬gency. This fact, they contend, wasforcibly brought out in the late war,when the government purchasingoffioers of the various nations foundit impossible to obtain good typ® rid¬ing horses in large numbers.
