C., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26, 1922 NO. 17 PERSHING PLEADS FOR LARGER ARMY Weeks W arns Against Cu( to 115,000 Enlisted Men IIEA RINGS CONCLUDED Gen. Pershing' Thinks Large Army Would Have Prevented War Washington, April 25.-A plea for a national military policy which would assure the checking of aggression by foreign powers in its incipiency and which would avoid "confusion, disord er, delay and extravagence" when em ergencies arise was made today by Secretary Weeks and Gen. Pershing before a Senate committee in support of the War Department program for an army of 13,000 officers and 150, 000 enlisted men. The statements by the two army heads concluded the public discus sion of the annual army supply bill and the appropriations committeel which has charge of it will begin immediately to write. the measure. Gen. Pershing declared that had the United States been adequate ly prepared, "there is little question that the United States, under strong leadership, could have prevented the World Wat' altogether." [He added - that the civil war likewise, would never have occurred had the Union been equipped with an army of rea sonable size and ready for immediate use. The army of 115,000 men and 11, 000 officers, fixed by the House was considered by Secretary Weeks to be "below the safe minimum re quirements" of the country. He as sorted that "unbusiness-like" conduct of the military establishment in years gone by was responsible for the ex penditure of "unnecessary" bililons in America's wars, "We have entered each war with out national defense system unor organized," Mr. Weeks continued. "This has required an extemporized organization thrown together in great haste and sesulting always in exces sive expenditure and excessive econ omic disturbance. In each war, we have consistently adhered to a policy of forming a great citizen army to reinforce our small regular estab lishment, but in the absence of any definite plans the process of forming this citizen army has been one of confusion, disorder, delay and extra vagance." In Gen. Pershing's statement re garding the size of the army, he warned that human nature has not clwnged and that "our own experi ences should have taught us tat the exercise of envy, jealousy and hatred can no more be ignored among nations than among individ unis." "We should possess and continue from year to year," said the gen eral, ":' consistent and well ma tured plan contemplating definite preliminary preparation and train ing for its complete development in case of < mergency. "This is only the part of com mon sense and ordinary precaution. World cnditions of today are not reassurih g, but regardless of all that we e-In not afford ever again to be ne-;l ieent. Iluman nature has not chat r l and the history of na tions is '( of strife. * * * The friends (, today are often the en emies of tomorrow. Failure, to rec ognize these facts has without ex ception found us ahways unprenar ed. Lal:' of preparation in all oui wars hat '-msed u s) unnecessa:ry loss of life a' d has left us staggering un der fimnmt't-;al burdens." The Cl rendon Radio Concert Com pany will in the near futurne install a complete rmnlio receiving set andI our *citizens will then be able to beair all the latest. new's by randio.

WINDHTAM, SOVIET RUSSIA IS ELY IN 1Ti[ PI[ Causes Another Sensaanion at < r Conlfer-enic SEN)S NOTE TO POLAN1) "We Can Not Stay Here Forever," Declares French Delegaite Genoa, April 25.-Soviet ltussio, contributed another sensation to the economic conerence today by s andingw a note to the Polish delegation remion stratiig against Poland's action in joining with the Allied powers in pro test against. a separate treaty be tween Rlussia and Germany. Russia chimed that. the peace treaty b(tween herself atd Poland covers all relations between the two countries, so that Poland, like Germany, should not participate in the discussionu of Rus sian affairs, eveni intimating that, Poland, by her present action in the conference, has abrogated the treaty signed at Riga on starch 18, 1921. Russia has a strong Red army en camped along the Polish border, and for this reason, the Russian actions are regarded by some of the delegates as equivalent to almost a thre. t against Poland. The experts on the Russian ques; tion sitting without the Soviet dIel egates, today compared notes on the new proposals presented by tie Russian delegates at yesterday's session, and decided to forwar.1 their report to their respective gov ernment. It is expected that when the answers are received from the vatious capitals the powers will sub init. counter propositions to the Sovie couched in firm language in an en ieavor to reach a working asis folr an accord. "We can not stay here forever," said a French delegate tonig4ht. The French are disturbed over the man ner in which the English have initer preted .Premier Poi lea re's ad Ir.. The Frtench spokesman made it. clear that all lFrenehlmen aire alarmed \ iver future military possibilitie:< if th Russo-Germani treaty and th:tt A. Ptoincare was nierely voicing lianies genuine disquietude. There are cer tain indinationis here that l rance, with her dwindling lopulation, is fearful of the conistantly inren-asic~n Gnerma n popuhation, united with mighty Russia. The French attit.ud" toward Russia is described as like that of Japan towards China .-each wants an organized and pros.pin: neighhor, but loes not. desi re tht that. neighbor he so strot as loom) up its a possible memace. iIlIEV ES STFEAI .AU' ) TO )HILEK Yesterday mo~rning about fi o'clock some one ev iocntly auto mobhil thieves, d rove by .11t.
