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,

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

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. We hope that
" all those who are interested in Union
and Union schools will bring their
friends with them when they come to
the game Friday.

the debate with Oklahoma Baptist
University last evening?carrying off
first honors. 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

and won the first honors and
the decision was unanimous in his
favor.

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 Rogues
v> ??
Jflower rogues have been spotted
in some sections of the city hhd had
better watch their step or a night in
the "lock up" will le the result.
The people who steal flowers from
the cemeteries are despicable; thej
even dig up the plants from th" graves
and pull every flower that blooms, and
the people who have loved ones buried
there are up in arms about it and
wish to see them punished.
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.

UNITED STATES
WILL HOLD BILL
Washington March 'J'.'. 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

MANY TEXTILE
WORKER QUIT
Lawrence, Mass., March 29.?More
than 80 per cent of the number of
operatives normally employed in the
Lawrence textile mills were idle tonight
as a result of the strike which
began Monday. The numbers of
strikers gained materially this morning
and during the day many left their
work. It was estimated that 17,0f?0
of the 20,000 normally employed were
idle tonight. Only one minor disorder
occurred during the day and this was
quickly stopped by police. A woman
picket attacked a woman worker with
a club but police intervened and serious
trouble was averted.
The shutting down of the Everett
Mills at noon today was regarded as
significant. Officials posted notices
that the mills had been shut down
indefinitely. Strike leaders claimed
that the small numbers of operatives
appearing for work bad crippled every
department. The Everett mills normally
employ 1,800 operatives.
At the Katama and Pcmherton mills
today fewer than ">0 per cent of the
normal force was at work.
Strike loaders claimed that only 100
operatives of the 1.2.r>0 employed hv
the Arcadia mils were at work this
afternoon. Officials said the mills
weiiId continue to remain open for any
operatives who wished to go to work.
Officials of the Pacific mills admitted
serious losses to their operating
force during the day hut declared the
mills would remain open for the remainder
of the week, at least. It was
estimated that 2.R00 were at work
there late today.
The Arlington mills, employing 7,?
250 operatives and the Methuen company
mills, employing 250, have been
shut down since the beginning of the
strike. The former did not join in
the wage cut. This afternoon several
hundred strike sympathizers paraded
to police headquarters. Three or four
leaders entered and complained that
police had roughly used several of the
strike sympathizers and that clubs
had been needlessly employed. After . 1
