WOULD REDUCE ARMY
OF U.S. TO 50,000 MEN
7 l
Washington. D. C,? Jan. T. ? la
his talk on national defense before
l be House yesterday. Congressman
Sherwood of Ohio brought oat nome
radically different views regarding
this Important topic. He said:
"In at cad of Increasing our stand,
lng army, already costing the tax
payers orsr one hundred millions a
year, I favor reducing It on?-half,
to 50,00ft men. This would probably
spi% close to fifty millions per year.
I would use an adequate sum \o im
prove snd strengthen our National
Guard, which, should war ever come,
win p>rove our chief raiiancq. I
would set apart, say. ten million as
a starter for old-age pensions to the
worthy workers, the wealth pro-'
ducers in our busy hive* of indus
try. Nothing would do such val
uable service in healing the constant
I conflicts between cspltal and labor
as a humane system of old-age pen
sions. such as Prince Blstnarck in
ai gurated in tho German Empire.
N t only would this benign allevia
ti n of the woes of the workers heal
tl e antagonism now so apparent In
it jor. strikes, but It would be an fo
sjfcrstion of patriotism to every
worthy worker Id the United State*.
Our flag would th^n be * hope end
a symbol of helpfulness, saying to
every son of toil. Be true, be faith
ful to your truat, and when old ege
comes on apace this flag with the
chining stars will be your protec.
tor, and a grateful Nation will help
you to make your last days on' earth
'comfortable and full of gratitude.
AB a matter of national defense it
I would be s cognate Inspiration to
every worker. Under this proposed
system of economic reform and
patriotic preparedness we could use
ten millions to lnaugurste a humane
system of old-age pensions, and
spend fire millions In perfecting the
Nations] Guard, ard then save tblr
ty-flve millions of our present Army
budget. This would relieve our weary
Ways and Means Committee of much
wearing worry and prove a balm an^
a sweet solsce to the great troubled
army of overtaxed taxpayers. And
the ten millions would give 100,000
old-age pensions at $100 per year.
This money would, all go Into circu
lation and prove a potent element In
the education of the men and women
who do the world's work that this
Republic Is not ungrateful."

Greensboro, N. C.. Jan. 7. ? At tlie I
meeting of the officers of the N. C.
National Guard In this city. Major
Coleman, president of the associa
tion ,ln his annual address, spoke in
part as follows:
"Probably at no time in the his
tory of the National guard have
there ever been more vital question)*
questions coucrrntng the vejy exis
tence of the National guard' as we
have come to know It, that are now
pending. When Congress recon
venes there will be presented the
socalled national defense bill, which
will be along the lines of the Preei
dent's preparedness program. Just
what form this legislation will take
and Just what, changes it will bring
to our prosent military system is to ?
uu. a question of the gravest im
portance. There wag recently held
In Washington, a conference between
the chairman ' of the senate and
house military' affairs, committees
and the members of the executive
omnilttee of the National Guard
Association of the United States.
General Young, our adjutant gen
??ai. is n member of this co;j?rn!tteo
and atteLdtd th'*' eonferrnc and N
therefore in position to tell us at
drat hand what has been agreed up
on In reference to the National
guard. It is, I think the feeling of
every officer and every enlisted man
that what we really ne^d is leglsla.
tion whtbh will make it po?fcible for
us to maintain the National guard
as now organised, well equipped and
well trained and ready for instant
service. It fs obvious that to do
thin It will be necessary to increase
considerably both the service and the
pay of the officers and enlisted men.
When this is done we can avoid the
cec salty of reorganising the Na
tional guard after war has been de
clared, or after the necessity has
arisen foj- taking the field. It Is es
timated that with the help of ault
able I'glslatlon the National guard
can place In the field for Immediate
service at least 500,000 well trained
and well equipped officers and men.
"The National Guard of North
Carolina during the last two year*
under the administration of our
present adjutant general has accom- 1
plished more In ?he way of efficiency,
organisation and discipline, and ha*
advanced mofe rapidly, than at any
time since Its organisation and i feel
that we have the right, and in fact
It la our duty to demand that we re
ceive the recognition due us and I
am convinced that this recognition
will not be withheld."

ilam F. Brown, a young farmer near
Silver Run, was murdered last night
at his farm, h^s skull being crushed
with an ax. Solomon Sudlr-r, a ne

crime.
Mr. Brown went to the barn about
6 o'clock to milk, when Sudler, it/
la believed, slipped up behind hinl
and struck httfc- over the right ear
with the blunt end of th^ ax, causing
a wound as Targe as a man's fist and
exposing the brain. Death Is be
lieved to have been instantaneous.
Sudler then procured k rope, it is
all eg' d, and tied It around the body,
hitched a horse to the rope and.
dragged the body three-quarters of
a mile across a muddy road and field
to a woods, where he left It. He
afterward returned the horse to the
