Reports on he activities and ''prog ress of the state division wilt bo made at the1 meeting. Discussion of the soldier bonus at the morning session resulted I i an agreement to begin an educa tional campaign to show the merits ol each form of bonus suggested The paid up insurance or the home ownership plan Was favored by the committee as the most desirable. I. was shown how the paid up in surance bonus has three and a hilf times the value of a straight, out cash payment. More lasting good from the insurance of home ownership bonus than from tho cash plan as anticipated. Commander Bird and Adjutant T'urgess were authorised to cou fri with the national commander In InUianapoliB n)out the matter of his visit to thh state, probably In February. It was suggested tlia.' the state be divided into a western, central, and eastern sec tion and that the commander be invited to speak at a suitable city in each division. The commander made the an nouncement that examining physi cians will be sent, out by the gov ernment soon to various soldier hospitals to adjudicate claims of ex-soldiers In hospitals. There are a largo number of controverted cases, he pointed out, that need the attention of the government. The committee voted for the motion that all resolutions and en dorsements made by any legion post in the state should first be passed ifpon in the adjutants office before promulgation. It is thought that all the posts can better co ordinate under this ruling. With the exception of three all members of the executive com mittee were present. Those in at tendance were. T. W.

Jan. 18 Gen eral Pershing took the leadership today In opposing any further re duction of the enlisted strength of the regular army when he. told the house military committee that "under present conditions, both at horpe and abroad, the total reg ular force is the least that we should think of maintaining, espe cially when we consider the mani fold duties it is called upon to per form and it is ui gently recom mended that no further reduction be made." "Under the pressure of economic conditions, the srxe of the regular army was restricted by the appro priation act of 1921 to 150.000 men," General Pershing said. 'Ths required reorganization and read- Juatmenti' have now been comple' ed. About 17.000. including one peace strngth division and coast defense troops, have boen allotted to the Philippine islands, 15.000 similarly organized to the Hawaii an islands, and 12.000 to the Pan ama canal iqne. This leaves sight ly over 100.000 for ".crvlco within the United States, from which must be deluded the army of occupa tion in Germany. Of those at home there are combat troops organized actively Into three Infantry divis ions, one cavalry division, with sojne unattached brigades and reg iments. Omitting the staff organi sations and coast defense troops they would when completed num ber 70.000 to 75,000 troops for field service. These troops con stitute our t scpeditlojiary forces to meet any sudden emergency and serve to protect our borders. When available, officers may assist In the examination of the national guard and rerves in their respective areas. These home troops have a very important function to fulfill as a reliable national police force. "Tne regular troops within the United States proper, available for Immediate service, constitute less than one-tenth of one per cejit of the ent're population." FURTHER ECONOMIES ARE PELT AS ESSENTIAL After Chairman McKenzie had declared that although the sub", committee. .. which recommended disposal ,of scores of army tracts, did not wish to do anything thai would "cripple or destroy" the nt flciency of the military service.

WASHINGTON. Jan. IS I By the Associated Press.) The Amer ican i.pen door program was ac cepted in part today by tho far eastern committee of The arms conference, but approval was given only after elimination of the pro vision which would have specifi cally authorized an Inquiry into existing concessions in China. The French, renewing their ob jection to re-opening whole field of concessions granted in the past, were seconded by the Japanese. and the proposal Anally was thrown out entirely at the sugges tion of the Hrltish. Tho Chinese reserved the right to call it up again later, but the genernl im pression among the delegates to night was that It had been per manently aldctrackcd so far .is the Washington conference ii con cerned. Viewed by many delegate a the most sweeping provision of the American plan, the existing concessions article was thecenter of debate in the committee Irom the moment of Its presentation yesterday by fccrelary Hughes until finally tt was stricken mil to day, various delegates opposing It.! on the ground that it might lad to an almost enrties Inquiry Into the validity of the maxe of eco nomic arrangements now In force throughout China, For the Amer ican delegation, however, it w;is said tonight that the eliminated article was not considered of vital Importance since remaining pro visions of the plan would permit examination of existing concessions where both partes agreed to It. ure. unofficial reports giving the result as 31 for and tw,: against, with some onnonents eith r absent or withholding their xo'es. He publican leaders said.. now( vci , thit the size ol the majority insure passage of a bonus bill at this ses sion. While there was no division on the allied debt bill, It developed that the measure as reported by the finance committee met with some objection. Inquiry being nude especially as to the reason for tho elimination of the provision re quiring semi-annual payment of in terest on UlP refunded bonds ot the debtor nations, it was under; stood that Senator Borah of Idaho and some other republicans, were ready to Join with democratic sen ators In demanding that' this pro vision be retained In the measure. Offlcial spokesmen for the con ference took pains to make It clear that the majority senators had de clared tor "a" bonus bill and not the particular bill which was re ferred back to the senate finance committee last juiy on r' mendatlnn of Presiden. Harding. Some leaders said, however, that the measure to be reported to the aonate undoubtedly would he sim ilar to that one. insofar as the the ways for payment of adjusted com pensation were concerned. Most of the discission of the bo nus centered around the means of providing the necessary funds Some senators favored a measure carrying merely an obligation against the government with pay ments to he made out of current receipts as money was available for the purpose but it was said that the preponderance of sentiment was for a specific provision that the financing be done with funds derived from the sale of refunded British bonds In tho Unltejj States. This brought up the question of sales tax or some other special form of taxation, proponents of a sales tax srgu'.ng that some such plajj wjQUld be necessury to brjdge the gap between the time of the passage of the bonus legislation and the time that funds from the sale of the refunded British bonds would become available. They were understood to have argued that the money from the bonds might not be available for several months or a year after the bonus bill was passed as tho refunding negotiation might consume con sldersble time and some thn plight be necessary for the sale of the bonds. A general speeding up of the work of the senate also was said (CMMMM4 Ton ij Asheville Capital Behind Project to Beautify 500 Acre Tract.
