ARMY REDUCTION ES WILL BE SERIOUS ;wo Washington, March 29.?Stating the the army's case in opposition to furre ther reductions in its enlisted and jnd commissioned strength before Washnd ington newspaper correspondents the gathered at the national press club tonight, General Pershing, chief of f?nt staff, and Major General Harbord, lay deputyy chief of staff, jointly delivcrhip ed their belief that the bill passed eat today by the house limiting the army the to 115,000 men and ',11,000 officers^ ote would work serious injury to the naout tion's military policy and undermine act the best syystem of preparedness the er- nation ever had. < to "Further reductions would be disier. astrous," Genei'al Pershing declared, ere adding that such reductions would "introduce an unwarranted element ast of danger in our plan of national tor defense." nd, General Harbord asserted that the uc- country "traveled in a vicious circle" ier of unpreparedness and post-war Jry economy. Both officers asserted that le" 150,000 men and 12,000 officers were in absolutely essential to the nation'? tor need at this time, the "A careful consideration of the tly work in hand, if the initial well laid ion scheme is not to be seriously curred tailed and many essential activities tus abandoned," General Pershing said ith "leads inevitably to the conclusion that any further reduction would be jas disastrous." fas Regarding the proposul to reduce x>r the overseas garrisons, he said that 'n) the "reduction can not be made withili out violating the soundest principles iti- of security. The size of the peace md garrison recommended for Hawaii aa- and the Panama Canal Zone," Genii eral Pershing added, "is the miniii mum with which their missions can ied be performed. Any material deted crease in their size will make them ar- ineffective and possibly invite attack, are "The importance of these possessions >ds in the plan of national defense, the ?ar expense of maintaining them, tho io- fact that they must be defended by the regular army, and the difficulty of .supplying adequate reinforcem glMNm. W IWHH'II 111 Re that the defending force be reason5e ably effective and that the personnel ith be definitely allocated from whichion ever strength congress authorizes 'ho for the regular army." ere The loss of the Panama canal, the the speaker declared, would be a blow to hat the pride of the American people and riff from a military point of view would ant be a greater blow than the loss of ur- any other possession.

PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS AT OUTS By Hugh W. Roberts. Washington, March 29. ? President ; Harding has concluded to resort to < the "big stick." It is said that he is < ready to admit that he has scored a failure in his experiment of permit- 1 ting congress to conduct itself as a . separate unit. At any rate, there is 1 open warfare between the adminis- i trative and legislative branches. i The passage through the house to- i day of the army appropriation bill was the straw that broke the camel's hack. The house slapped the administration's face in two particulars. In , the first place, it reduced the size of the army to 115,000 men, whereas the administration had declared that it could not function with less than 150,- , 000. In the second place it increased appropriations for rivers and harbors i from $27,000,000 to $12,000,000 and i : thus outraged Gen. C. G. Dawes and disjointed the entire budget system. i Already the president was deeply offended by the action of the house in passing a bill without providing means for raising the necessary money. In view of the fact that the ac- i linn fnrlnv roennnf ir\ nr iUn wnoen/?/? ! the armp appropriation bill will be : followed by passage of the navy appropriation bill with the navy personnel reduced from 80,000 to 60,000 men, the president, it is said, has abandon- 1 ed hope that the house may be safely permitted to function without his in- i terferer.ee. If the navy is reduced to ( 60.000 men, Secretary Denby says that < he can not operate, and the executive calls attention to the fact that by such ] reduction, the United States can not maintain the stipulaed naval rela- , tionship with Great Britain and Japan. While the president., it is indicated, will accept the house's gage of battle, the manner in which he will strike is not made known. It is regarded as certain that he will veto the bonus bill. It will be difficult for him to eliminate offending sections in the army and navy appropriation bills, however, | without killing both bills, and both ( must be enacted within reasonable , time in order that necessary payments o? ri?V.000,000 for riv- ' era and harbors contained in the army bill was made possible through a practically solid Democratic vote. There was the "pork barrel" charge, but Southerners pointed out the fact that the engineers had estimated that only by an expenditure of $42,000,000 could they maintain existing projects asthey should be maintained. Southerners are rejoiced at their "victory* in that particular. Baseball I At 3:30 p. m. Friday afternoon ! there will be a game of baseball between Laurens High school and Union High at the city park. The game last 1 Friday was a good one, as anyone who was there will tell you, even though we lo"t by the close score of 5 to 7. In that game we played against a . .i a. i i i ?i?: ?*!.?. it'Uiu l Hi* L uuu uuun jiiiiy iii^ uuici games this season. We feel sure that those who will come out to the game t Friday will get to see even a better i game than last time.

Arbucklo on a manlllaughter rharge growing out of the |rieath of Miss Virginia Rappe, won a iioint just before court adjourned tonight when Judge Louderbach granted a motion to strike out parts of the testimony of Jesse Norgaard. Norj^anrd had, testified that he once had been in jail and this, with other references to his former life, formed the portion deleted. i Norgaard's principal testimony was that Arbuckle had offered hifti money for a key to Miss Rappe's dressing room at a Culver City, Cel.; motion picture studio, where Norgaatd acted as night watchman.

The subject under debate was the advisability of the federal government enacting legislation embodying the principal of the Kansas industrial court law, and Purman upheld the negative. A feature of the occasion which makes the honor doubly prized was the fact that Mr. Reaves had only three days' notice in which to prepare his part of the debate. He waa spending the week-end with friends at Honea Path and received a wire from his university that the representative from Furman who was to meet Oklahoma was ill and he would have to take his place.

WILL COMPLETE WILSON DAM UNIT Florence, Ala., March 29.?Efforts will be made immediately to cbtain an appropriation to resume work within GO days on the Wilson dam unit of the government's Muscle Shoals war plant, according to sentiment expressed by members of the senate agriculture and house military committees who tonight completed a three days' survey of the entity. "Opinion appears to have crystalized in that direction so rapidly since we inspected the uncompleted Wilson dam," said Senator Norris, chairman 'of the senate committee, "that we have not had time t othink of details One thing is sure, however, the dam will be built if this committee can hi ing it about and I want to see thi government got in the river during low water this spring." Senator Norris declared that prospective purchasers or lessees would lose nothing by the government "going ahead in the work of completing the project." "There will be so much deterioration if we delay that I am fully convinced that we must get bacq on this joo quickly, since it is determined that nobody wants to sec it scrapped," he continued. i no committee chairman expressed himself in favor of tho government spending; its own money and doing1 its work in completing the 0111 unit. Representative Hull of the house committee gave his opinion ihnt the government should start work this spring "unless one of the proposals now before the committee is found to be acceptable." "In any event there should he no delay," said Mr. Hull, "because at least this unit of power on the Ten nessee river must be developed. 1 see no reason for delay. If there is no bid before us \%e can accept, we should build the dam and while the work is in progress we can find a satisfactory and profitable way to dispose of the whole plant."

Flower seeds are cheap and if one loves blossoms enough to st?nl them th?y ought to invest a few cents in seeds and have some of their very own. A New Gym for Fur man Greenville, March 29.?

The joint resolution already adopted hy the senate authorizing a 2f> years' extension of payment l>y Austria of 000,000 for Hour p uvhased through the United States drain corporation was adopted late today hy the house. The vote, 1 12 to .">0. was taken after a hitter partisan debate and after the debeat of a motion by a vote of 1ST to 115 to sen the measure back to the ways and means committee. Members advocating this mo\e insisted action should not be taken un til the subject was considered by th debt commission. Representative l.onirwurth t Re publican) of Ohio in presenting the resolution said it realized Austrian assets pledged for payment to the United States, if substantially all ol tln? other creditor nations waived .similar urns upon rtusinan assets. Thr loan, he said, rested upon an en tirely different basis front the allied loans and no interest had been paid because Austria lacked income sufli cient to meet her own govermnen expenses. In his attack on the resolution Representative Garner of Texas de clared there was no information ti be laid before congress respecting the need of postponement. lie in sisted its passu ire would set a prece lent that will return "to plague you Republicans in hurdling th<- allied debt." Asked if it were "an emotion bill." Mr. Garner said, "Well, a very charming lady named Mrs. Todd has interviewed everybody concerning it. but I don't know if you call th it emotional." There was a round of applause from both sides of the chnmh -r when Representative Walsh t Republican) of Massachusetts, who offered the motion to recommit, declared the time had come when congress ought to pay attention to the needs of its own people instead of trying to aid 'hose who sought a few years ago to overthrow this government. "You want us to do something just because some well niemrtnjr Imtiea iMwj some charitable organizations write appealing letters." Mr. Walsh shout ed. "We are not responsible for the conditions about which they write, but we are responsible for conditions within our own borders. 1 t'oi one object to the United States booming the almoner of the world."
