President Harding took a hand in the" army strength discussion today, summon ing members of the house army ap propriations subcommittee Into con ference after a talk with General Pershing. The subcommittee yesterday agreed "tentatively to cut the army enlisted strength for next year from the au thorized 150,000 to 116,000. After the White House conference it was disclosed that an administration pol icy for a force of not less than 130, 000 had been formulated and ex pressed. The present actual strength is about 137,000. General Pershing would not dis cuss the nature of hi. talk with the President, but when the summons to Chairman Anthony and his associates followed, there was no effort to con ceal that General Pershing had felt It necessary to appeal to the Presi dent against the cut in the army the committee had in mind. At the war department Acilno- Secretary Walnwrlght said the mll tary policy of 1920 was passed as an abiding policy and was not a plan "subject to thX whim or caprice of every shift In the economic sltua- tlon." "If that policy was needed In 1920 it also is needed In 1922,", he added. With relation to Pershing's call at the White House, Mr. Wa lnwriirht said that "no man is better titled to speak with authority on this quj-s-tlon than , he."

The announcement of the agree ment between Mr. F.ngstrum and Mr. Goethals was made by Marion Butler, former senator from North Carolina, in testimony given the house military committee on the proposal which was under consideration as a competitor to those submitted by Henry Ford and tho Alabama Power company. The commute devoted both Bea sions today tp an Investigation of the Engstrum offer, receiving Mr. Eng strum first for a brief introduction of his bid and later examining Mr. Butler, who appeared as legal ad viser for the North Carolinian. Mr. Butler said nitrate and fertilizer pro duction, viewed In the sense of their relation to the national defense, was the prime object of the offer he spoke for, although hydroolectrlc develop ment would not be neglected. While the former senator did not re fer to the Ford offer by name, he ar gued strongly against congressional action which would permit the prin cipal water power project of the south to be controlled by a private conoern. Nltraund fertiliser production at the Shoals, Mr. Butler said, could be made "a national asset, permitting cheap soil foods for the farmers and reduced prices of foodstuffs for the consumers In reply to questions by Represen tative Stoll, South Carolina.

Soon after Representative Robert T. Thomas, of Kentuefey, Democrat, had cited the postofflce controversy at Goldsboro, N. C, as showing the high-handed manner In which the postofflce de partment and civil service commis sion are giving Jobs only to Repub licans, Representative Thomas S. Williams, ot Illinois, told the house in a speech today that Postmaster General Hays was a "mugwump" and was keeping tho Democrat. In office. Representative William., delivered a caustic speech, part In prose and part In poetry, or doggerel, express ing Joy that Postmaster General Hays was going Into the movies. Every real Republican, he said, re joiced that they were getting rid of him and thanked the movie, for taking him away. Backing up Representative Samuel M. Brinson, of North Carolina, Representative Thomas asserted that A. E. Simpkln. had been named post master at Goldsboro by executive order and there had been no exami nation whatever for the place. The Kentucky member charged that Major Simpklns was "lnoompetent" as an officer In the army, tnat he had resigned and lost hi. military preference standing, so far a. get ting civil jobs was concerned, that he had been given back hi. military preference In connection with th. Goldsboro office and had been put in by executive order. "No examination was held at Goldsboro," said Mr. Thomas, "but this Republican wa. put into the office by executive order. Represen tative Brinson of North Carolina ac cidentally came aero., a letter .bow ing that the po.tofflce department had asked the civil service commit .Ion to fix It up so that tbe job might go to Mr. Simpklns and he finally got It. That 1. the way., the postofflce department 1. being run." Representative Thomas spoke pri marily on his trouble, in Kentucky, where he said the department and civil servtea-. omm.iaaitt-.j-ruB nlng roughshod over the merit sys tem and .electing only Republican, for postofflce Jobs regardless of their rating on the eligible lists. Ho used the Goldsboro office as an Illustra tion that similar conditions prevailed In ,lher states. Tirade A gal ait "Mugwump" Hay.. On the heel, of thl. come, just the. opposite howl from a Republican member, Mr. Williams, of Illinois. Representative Williams referred to Mr. Hays as "tho prince of mug wumps," asserted, that he had been a disappointment to the ontire Re publican party and that the most popular act of his life was the re tirement from the cabinet. The keynote of Mr. Williams' dis pleasure was the allegation that after the Democratic administration had swept Republican, out of office, Postmaster General Hay. had re tained Democrat. In office and mis managed the postofflce. On the other hand, varlou. Demo crats have brought charges recent ly in the senate and house that the civil service rules are being violat ed by the postofflce and "deserving Republicans" are given postofflce Jobs on political endorsements, re gardless of their standing on the eli gible list In postofflce examinations. ' "Today look, to the clo.e of the career of William H. Hay. as a mem ber of the cabinet," aald Representa tive Williams. "To millions of Re publicans It is a day of thanksgiving and rejoicing. As an old line Repub lican, representing a rock-ribbed Re publican district In Illinois, I join in this feeling which i. well nigh uni versal among real Republicans and I know Is overwhelming In my dis trict. "Mr. Hays has been the one dlsap pointment of the first year of Re publican administration. He' entered the cabinet with the confidence and love and affection of that great army of Republican workers who made possible the great Republican victory in. 1920. They felt and believed Hays was one of them, lie had preached organization and the vital Import ance of a change In administration and removal of Democratic officials from their placcB". "Entering the cabinet as one of Its most popular members, he Is qult- ftlng today by unanimous consent. "This is because In tho minds of Republicans he Is the prince of mug wumps. They may be wrong.

NOT WITHDRAWN Tension, However, Cannot Be Extended Indefinitely "Die Hards" Not Repentant. COALITION SEEMS DOOMED (Br Aandaud rraa.) London, March 3. Premier Lloyd George', threat to re.lgn ha. been impended at the urgent solicitation of hi. unionist colleagues In the cab inet, according to an ' authoritative statement tonight, but no Justification for Its withdrawal la said to exist a. yet. Official denial is made that any exact time has been fixed for receiv ing assurance, of loyalty to the pre mier from the adherents of Sir George Younger, th unionist leader, al though It Is added that obviously the twt-"in1iof'iiertdd fnHefl nllely. . ! Meanwhile, there i. no Indication that any move on part' of tha union ist party to dethrone Younger a. It. head. No meeting ot the union ist party had been called, and the general opinion Is that the only hap pening will be that the unionist min ister. In the cabinet Arthur J. Bal four and Austen Chamberlain may publicly reprove Younger for his tac tic, a. Lord Birkenhead already ha. done. ' Speaking at Oxford today, Austen Chamberlain announced that the unionist minister, had unanimously requested the premier to continue as head of the government. Not the .lightest repentance ha. yet been shown by the "dl. hard" conservative., whose opposition to th leadership of the premier 1. pri marily . responsible for the present crisis. They are co-oeratlhg with the Ul.ttrlte. In the house of commons In putting up a stiff fight against the Free State bill by presenting amend ment after amendment. Sir Laming Worthlngton-Evans, secretary for war, in a Bpeech at Colchester tonight revealed that the premier lately offered to retire from the government and support It In car rying out Its unfinished program, but all the conservative member, of the government assured him of their sup port and begged that he continue. In the endless speculation about the crisis there. Is much Insistence otl the view that Mr. Lloyd George has arrived at a point in hi. political career where he must define whither hi. future path will lead toward lib eralism or conservatism. Since he be came leader of the coalition under the abnormal circumstances of war, requiring a national, not party, policy, hi. political- coloring ha. been in abeyance. If the coalition now dis appear. It Is argued he must elect to attach himself to one party or the other. According to some beliefs, IiIb pres ent action 1. a bid for leadership of the unionist party, and that If this fall, there are (we alternatives be fore hni, flrat. to form a new cen trist party, and second, tt, try to go back to leadership of the liberal or liberal labor party.

If the protest against the bonus In It. latest form should be as great a. It ha. been In all previou. lorins, men in dim -will probably be held Up In the .enut. - The latest bonus proposal is, after all. the delusive kind of legislation. Pre.ldent Harding', position has all along been that he would accept no bouua bill whloh did not provide rev enue with which to pay the soldiers. He wa. equally oppo.ed to. turning bonda to pay additional compensa tion to the soldier.. Let u. see how Congre.a steer be tween these tw dansrar nnlntu tt kpi.n. a Donus which require, no oa.h payments, at least only small cash payment.; on the other hand, It 1. such a little one in principle. Then It commit, the government', credit to the payment ot loans the soldier, are permitted to negotiate at the bank, the call upon th government for fund, not to com thl. year but thro year, henoe. You ee thl. la not any bill whloh Dlnd. th government to navmant. without providing th Uxea to ral.e the money, not this year, that I to ay, for all It doe. I bind th gov ernment, to meet an amount variously estimated at from on to four, and one half billion, thro year, from now. In tha meantlm the soldier. Dorrow rrom the bank. - Tklnk People Rkmrt-Rlgkted, The theory Is that the taxpayer only worrle. about ntxt year', taxea. If h hag to dig down' tn his pock et throe ' year, b.ace- ke doe. not mina it. Ana. ol course, you are now sotnmtU4a- ,th government o inrge payment, without providing revenue, u you postpone the pay ment beyond the present Usual year and only require them thr year, henuc. - ,- And again th government I not borrowing lo pay th bonu. If It la sue. paper behind which stand, th government credit and allow th soldier, to borrow on that paper. Practically what It I propo.ed to do I. to put out the United States' prom ises to pay In tho hand, of the sol diers and make them negotiable at the banks, Ju.t how thl differ, from the proposal to Issue bonds and give them to. the soldiers, It 1. hard to ae. The difference I on of name.; but name, ara everything to th pol itician. How will th government pay th bank the amount which the soldiers have borrowed upon the government promise to pay, called In thla In etanoe certificates. Either by in creased taxe. three year, from now or by treating the loan of the bank a. part of th floating indebtedness of the United State and funding It, that Is, converting It Into bond.. Now see where thl leave. Con gress and the administration. Fir.t, we mu.t not commit the country to vast bonu. payment, without provid ing tne revenue to meet them. , Sec ond, these payment mu.t not b made by Issuing and galling bond.

' ' (Cowrliht, HJl. by nitaMpfalA PutHk) Ml.) ' Pari., March I. The conference at ' Boulogne wa. conducted exactly a. .uch conference should be sober , and followed by a clear coromunlqu ' free of sensational statements, , 1 ' In the oourse of the Interview Premier Polncare and Lloyd George undoubtedly solidified the Franco- I British entente, and achieved mor- al understanding a wetl as a pollt-: i loal agreement. .And It was faoill- -tated In a measure by th long , ! friendship which ha. existed between these statesmen ever sine the early day. of the war. The Franco-Brltl.h ntent which ; resulted from this conference testi fied to tha Justice of th claim made In th French memorandum. That memorandum had previously stated ' 1 It was difficult In th press ot event. ; to prepare for Genoa by March 1. It ) might be recalled that Mr. ' Lloyd ; Georg wa. ot th same opinion, but did not wish to concede tt to Lord Grey or Lord Robert Cecil who, with Mr. Asqulth, constitute a dangerous opposition. Supported by th Italian cabinet situation Mr. Lloyd George granted to it. Polncare - what - he would have proudly refused bis Eng lish political advcrsarl.s.1 . What disturbed the French most was the question of Russia i and , whether th provisional contact at Genoa with, the soviet, would Imply recognition de Jure, obliging France ultimately to send an ambassador to a nation who primitive policies and bestialities were conceived to oblit erate the oaartst regime. What was disquieting, furthermore, (or sranoe,, was to know that at thl. time, when other nations are claimlnr, navmant ot French loans, what guarantses the ' ; soviet, would offer u. In payment of Pusalan debt, contrasted in th war., Expect soviet Oaarautec. - ; On that point M. polnoar and Mr, Lloyd George reached an accord. The formula adopted la that 'the presence of the Soviets will consti tute merely a recognition of their representatives and that recognition ot their government is dependent en tirely an the nature ot guarantaea furnished by the Soviets In answer to French demands.--- i i Franca also feared that several tteatre ' signed '-'t"t1lecloaeT',tf trio war Would be forgotten a-r rendered partially Inoperative In on war another by th weight of discussion and resolution. Issuing from-such a general conference. On tills po't Mr. Lloyd Oeorg offered loyal as surances to tha satisfaction - ot Franc. Genoa will not be the oo caaion of a revision of th Versailles tieaty or any other treaties,. These treaties will not be altered lrj text, substance or Interpretation. Thus Frenoh opinion I. satisfied and will gladly go to Genoa t co-operat In the reconstruction of Europ with the understanding that the priority of th reparations due Frame will not be discussed .because they ante-' date other economic questions. At this time we might also consid er the work ot the Polnoar ministry and Its reaction upon the nation. The fir.t conclusion 1 that It seems ridic ulous that the cabinet would wish to Isolate Franca from concert with the other powers. At the hour I write M. Polncare Is making ready to re ceive Kor.Jgn Minister Schanser ot Italy as he- received M. Bennes of C.eobo-Slovakla and th same en tents which axlsts b.twsea France and England will exist . between Franoe and Italy. It Is even un thinkable that the bus who aa presi dent ot the republic was active In the' most perilous year, when all th nations Joined In a common cause would seek to disassociate Franc In stupid Isolation, Nation Need Bach Other." " ' Th world Is so constituted pollt-' ; loally and economically that w need i each other e with one link th ohaln la broken and It would be a crime to break the alliance of friend ship. rachlngfrom nation to na tion scroa. the frontiers. The second Conclusion ' which one would natutally seek beyond all this satisfaction! expressed by th pres. 1. th trueaUt th stigma of French imperlall.m-Vthat the Imperialist Frenoh would make war on England. Does one suppose that Mr. Lloyd '. George, who know. Ku rope and France as well, would lower his na tion to treat with a country that de sired war against thorn' and tspe-. dally after Lord Le had read the ro-called Caste documents?" Does not one suppose that Mr. IJoyd George knew the real yalu of such accusation, which were only intend ed to elur France, but In, the eye. of Germany were aimed at England ! as well? ' ' ! : What I. most significant Is the at- f tltude of the German press sine the conference at Boulogne. It declares , that the moment France and Eng land are In accord the conference at , Genoa will become a trap for Ger many. It Is thus that Germany can only find tranquillity In tha dis union ot other nations. Germany Is happy wher England and France pass for enemies and only pale when the truth Is learned. It Is plain to see what harm can come to nations If such doctrines should spread. ,.-'. -.,;.' As against this attitude one may ' only look at France to see that It has, during its many bloody combats, maintained perpetually the free, lib. eral proof of Its good faith. ' '. Captain A. J.
