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."

"I know I'm old. but I'm crazy j
about you," stated Mr. Moneybags, j
"When I go I'll leave all my fortune (
to you if you'll have me."
"Have you any bad habits?" asked
Miss Goldlelocks thoughtfully.
"Only that I walk in my sleep, if
you could call that a bad habit."
"You dear old thing. Of course I'll
marry you. And we'll have our honeymoon

PROPOSAL MEETS DEATH.
Sulwtitute Offered Requiring Departs
ments to Put Ban on Gently.
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.

FAMINE IX CHINA.
Fifteen Million People May ?ie Unless
Aid is Given.
Washington, Feb. 5.?The famine
situation in China has reached such a
crisis that 15,000,000 people may die <
unless immediate help is given, ac- i
cording to information received today
by the State Department.
Another famine, equally severe,
may arise next fall unless food is
made available t othe Chinese farmers
who are physically unable to undertake
the spring plowing, a statement
issued by the department said.
The Chinese are doing all in their
power to relieve the situation, the
statement added, and it is estimated

show that every economy is being I

Quotations Slightly Above One-third
of Figure of One Year Ago.
New Orleans, Feb. 6.?High prices
in the cotton market last week came J
on the opening session and lowest
prices at the middle of the week. On
the close, net losses of 65 to 73 points .
were shown, with March at 13.44 and 1
July at 13.93. Spots were weaker
than contracts and middling was off '
100 points in the net results, closing
at 13.25, which compared with
3S.75 as the closing price a year ago.
At the highest of the week the more)
active months in the*contract market r
were 3 to 11 points over the level ofj?
the preceding week's close and at the M
lowest they were 123 to 134 points|
under, the range for the week being (
122 to 14."- points. 31 arch traded as|J
high as 14.28 and as low as 12.83. at j ^

While the matter of the short in-L

sideration during the week to come,
spots will probably furnish important
news. At the end of last week
there were signs of a growing demand
as some traders predicted a
further increase in the inquiry in
the near future as the result of more
mills starting up. One of the largest
New England mills is now said
to be operating night shifts and a
new seven million dollar mill in the
Atlantics has begun operations.
