The General Opinion of Military Lead-
ers in This Country is That
More Defence May Be Need-
ed Instead of a Cut.
Washington, D. a—President Hard-
tags belief that the regular army at
Its present strength, 12,000 officers
and 125,000 men, "is as small as
should be contemplated unless there
should be a decided change in mili-
tary oonditions throughout the world,"
Is stated ina letter Secretary Weeks
made ptfblic by the war department in
order to correct any misapprehensions
is stated in a letter Secretary- Weeks
In budget estimates for 1923.
Reply to Weeks.
The letter was written in reply to a
communication from Secretary Weeks
September 21, explaining to the presi-
dent that while estimates for 12,000
officers and .125,000 men were being
submitted, the opinion of military
leaders, regular, national guard, or re-
serve, was unchanged that the mini-
mum force to carry out the national
defense act of 1920, was'13,000 offi-
cers and lS(t<0QO men.
In reply, ; the president said that
while he did not bleleve the govern
ment would be justified in exceeding
Its resources for the coming year,
there are limits in reduction beyond
which we cannot go, even in the
praiseworthy cause of economy, with
out destroying the excellent founda-
tion now laid for our national de-
fense and forfeiting the accrued bene-
fits of world-war experience."

New Interpretation of American Law
Makes it Necessary.
Washington, D. C.—Ocean steamers
which sailed from foreign ports for
the United States faced the necessity
of carefully computing the amount of
alcoholic beverages on board against
the mileage shown by the ship's daily
log.
The last stein and decanter must be
emptied before the ship crosses the
three mile marking the accepted limit
of American maritime jurisdiction,
under an interprettion of the pro-
hibition laws, which became effective
Oct. 23.

by air service officials. It was learned
but the project has not as yet passed

Two Routes Considered.
Two of the routes considered are
from the Atlantic coast by way of
Iceland and Ireland, and that from
the Pacific via Alaska, the Aleutian
Islands, Siberia and home via Ireland,
Iceland. Air service officials said the'
route offering the most favorable con-
ditions as to prevailing winds would
be selected, should the flight be or-
dered. and it would then become nec-
essary to obtain permission of each of
the countries to be traversed before
the squadron could start
PLANE GLIDES 3 HOURS
Two New Records Are Set In Competl-
tive 'Test.
Chicago, 111.—Attacking demands of
maintenance of way employes for 72
and 75 cents an hour and the theory
upon which the demands are based as
runlnous, the railway labor board de-
clared that such a course if followed
out to a logical conclusion by the ra-
tio of Increase for other types of la-
bor "would wieck every railroad in
the United States and if extended to
other industries would carry them
into communistic runin."
Diseenting Opinion Filed.
The opinion, in the form of a re-
joinder to a dissenting opinion filed
by K. O. Wharton labor leader, in
the recent decision Increasing the pay
of maintenance of way employes 2
cents an hour, declared that if em-
ployes were granted a 72 and 75 cents
minimum wage for common labor
with corresponding differentials for
other classes, an increase of 125.7 per-
cent ifl the ftation's railroad wage bill
would be neoessary. This, the opin-
ion said, would add $3,112,952,387 to
the annual pay roll bringing it to $5,-
589,445,993 which would mean, it
added, an annual deficit to the car-
riers of $2,241,639,518. j

lubricant. As Nujol Is not a laxative
It cannot gripe. It Is in no sense a
