A. Miller received a notice on regu it- lar department form to the effect thai j to their son, George Miller, .was a de- j th serter from the U. S. Navy station at! Hampton Roads, Va. Naturally Mr.' te and Mrs. Miller felt a deep regret j over, such action on the part of their j son, and as they knew nothing of the j boy's whereabouts they could take no j action in the matter. A few days j later it developed that George had ; !S" been to the target range for rifle j 'N practice and by some clerical error at the station had been lost track of.; en The matter has since been straight- ( op ened out and Mr. Miller received the |e. following letter Saturday from the commanding officers of the station: ' "U. S. Naval Training Station, j tn Hampton Road. Va., October 31, j 1919.?-Mr. H. A. Miller, Kingstree, S C. In reply to your letter of the j 29th inst. you are hereby informed j ed that the notice of desertion sent you to I was sent through error.

About the same time the above 0f was received Mr. Miller also received pd a letter from his son stating that he! ! was on the target range where he 1 i had made proficiency in marksman- j en j ship, sharpshooting and passed as ex-1 IS~ i pert rifleman. r ??? ;r' SINGER means Service Stability! and Satisfaction.

THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND SUGGESTED AS MAXIMUM OF ENLISTMENT Dissenting in many important respects from the program recommended by the war department and the general staff, General Pershing told the military committee of congress Friday that 300,000 men raised entirely by voluntary enlistment should be the outside figure considered for a standing army. He favored universal military training to provide an emergency reserve, bu? thought general I educational work should be combined I with it and military discipline "some- I what relaxed" so that the system I would be in complete harmony with I democratic institutions.. He fixed six I months as the training period. 5 The department had recommended an army of more than 500,000 with a system of universal training not em- ioi bracing the educational feature. Its se recommendation for a training period was three months. . wl Departing again from the expressed tei views of the department the general co declared army purchasing should be br reorganized in a new bureau apart an from the quartermaster corps, and a separate department of the government should be organized to coordi- se nate and supervise miiitary, naval no and commercial aeronautics. He con- inl sidered the department's request for sit 231 general staff officers excessive, and made clear his opposition to any re effort by the staff to extend its authority into the details of the depart- co ment bureau and of the line. ce During his day of testimony before ye the two committees which opened a V series of special joint sessions to hear se his views on peace time reorganiza- wi tion of the army the former com- Ei mander of the American expedition- \vl ary forces expressed several times so his unfamiliarity with the 4 present Ai make up and policy of the general ed staff and emphasized that he was H< speaking directly from his experience gu in the field.
