VETO FAILS TO MlVE ARMY. House Passes Bill by Decided Majority Stopping Enlistments. Washington, Feb. 5.?The joint resolution directing the stopping of enlistments until the regular army is reduced to 175,000 men was passed tonight by the house over President Wilson's veto. The veto was overridden by a vote of 271 to 16, one member voting not present. The president's veto message was not read to the house until six hours after its formal delivery but once read, action.was swift. Representative Mondell, of Wyom- i ing, Republican leader, said the mescooro, nrpcjpritpd no arguments that had ^ F - ^ ^ ^ ? ? not already been before the body and that further discussion was unnecessary. He asked for an immediate vote. A motion to adjourn offered by Representative Wingo, Democrat, Arkansas, was voted down overwhelmingly. All of the 16 members voting to sustain the president in the final vote were Democrats. They were: Bee, Texas; Bland. Virginia; Campbell, Pennsylvania; Cleary, New York; Cody, Maryland; Eagan, New Jersey; Fisher, Tennessee; Igoe, Missouri; McAndrews, Illinois; Minahan, New Jersey; Pell, New York; Baker, California; Simms, Tennessee; Teague, Massachusetts; Weaver, North Caroline; Welling, Utah. Lee, Democrat, Georgia, voted present. Those voting to override the veto included 92 Democrats. Action is expected to be taken on the veto early next week in the senate, where it was said prospects were favorable for over riding the president. Returning the measure to the house, the president said he was, "un able to see in the condition of the world at large or in the needs of the United States any change" that would justify a restriction upon the minimum enlisted strength of 280,000 i men provided for in the recently enacted army reorganization bill. Quoting the resolution as restricting the enlisted strength of the army to 175,000 men, the president says: "No provision is made in the resolution for the preservation of- any proportionate strength in the combatant corps of the army and a mere discontinuance of enlistment would, j for a long time, preserve the staff j corps disproportionately enlisted andi 1 the combatant corps insufficiently 1 manned to maintain the instruction and training which ought to be assured if an army of 175,000 men is to be efficient in proportion to its ag- ' gregate number. 1 "On the fourth day of June, 1920, : I signed a bill passed by the present congress, providing for the reorgan- 3 ization of the army. Because of the ! profoundly disturbed conditions of 1 the world and in order that full bene- ] fit might accrue to the people of the 1 United States from the lessons of the ] world war as to what, under modern ; ? conditions is required to be the; nucleus of an efficient army, the war department had recommended an 1 army of approximately 500,000 men. 1 The congress, after prolonged con- 1 sideration, determined to authorize and did authorize, the reorganization of the army on the basis of an enlisted strength of approximately 280,-1 ( 000 men, including in the organization new arms like the air service and the chemical warfare service, the use of which were developments of ] the "ft'ar and provision for which is ( a necessary addition to the pre-war J" strength of the army. 1 "The act authorized for the first j time in our history, a tactical organ ization of the army, resting upon di- j i visions as tactical units and required! the training of the national guard j and the organized reserve in terri-! torial areas of the United States in j association with the division of the regular army. At that time, the con-j gress plainly regarded the provision j then made as the minimum which would provide for the added arms' and new duties imposed upon the! army anci for that edU/U-ney which! the peace time army of the United States should have as the nucleus of mobilization in the event of a nation-; al emergency. "T regret that T am not able to see! in the condition of the world at large or in the needs of the United States any such change as wouia jusuiy tut-, restriction upon that minimum which is proposed by the house joint reso-j lution." ? , j Redeeming Trait.

Washington, Feb. 5. ? Senator Smoot's proposal to prohibit smoking 1 in most government buildings in Washington met sudden death today in the senate, but out of it grew a substitute by Senator Wadswortli, Republican, New York, requiring department heads to prohibit smoking when it would endanger public property. Senator Smoot's amendment to the sundry civil bill went out on a point of order by Senator Robinson, Democrat, Arkansas, a non-smoker, who declared it was unfair because it would permit Senators and Representatives to smoke in their offices and in the capitol, but would prohibit the President, Cabinet officers and diplomatic clerks from smoking. The Smoot amendment drew fire from all sides. Senator Smith, Democrat, Arizona, protested that it was "an everlasting wedge for a most contemptible and restraining blue law." Protesting generally against such laws Senator Smith said that the "blue law movement would raise a generation of dudes and nincompoops." Senator Smoot, who does not smoke, and Chairman Warren, of the committee which brought in the amendment and who is a smoker, defended the amendment. Both said it was designed to prevent tires m government buildings. Mr. Smoot said it would stop gov* eminent clerks from wasting their time. Senator Shields, Democrat, Texas, suggested that the amendment should apply "'to the entire District of Columbia. He said smoking in any building might start a fire which would endanger government buildings and their records. Senator Robinson, who does not smoke, drew verbal pictures of the President and his dinner guests beng required to leave the White House to enjoy their cigars and cigarettes. m? m FAMINE IX CHINA.
