A peace time army of 299,000 enlisted men and 17,000 officers was approved today by the house, in passing ' the army . reorganization bill L. by a vote of 246 to 92. The measure now goes to the senate. Efforts to reduce the authorized strength' approximately to 255,000 men and 14,000 officers,' substantially the pre-war authorization by Representa tive Dent, of Alabama, ranking Dem ocrat of the military committee, were defeated 222 to 15. The house also voted 168 to 158 to reserve its pre vious tentative decision to establish a separate army construction corps. ; Construction activites were contin ued in f the ? quartermaster corps as were transportation ; and pocurement of supplies.

Euro pean rates, it is declared by the Na tional Bank of Commerce in New York in the March, issue ofiits maga zine Commerce Monthly. The bank expresses the opinion, however, that these influences will not bring on a rad ical price drop but that there will be a gradual readjustment; . .' .'" . : "From June, ; 1919, until January, 1920," Commerce Monthly says, "com mercial and - financial activities were atimulated by two main factors: the strength of the domestic demand for goods for immediate consumption, and the demand fro.m ' abroad. -Domestic purchasing power has represented" to an undesirable extent the expenditure of funds which should have been set aside as capital,-; and production has not expanded -as rapidly as consnmpH tion. ' Europe ' has given evidenre of unlimited demand 6n credit, but It has t neither restricted , its purcnases . to commodities for vuse in productive ac tivity, nor shown' evidence of vigorous efforts to expand production of credit both", for domestic'-"and foreign- trans actions became an absolute necessity, some weks ago, arid .the effects- if the step taken tos'ecurett wiR s doubt- iea .uevuuie e i.ivuv. iw ucai,.auuuicv The wholesale trade in many lines which nroduce; goods of those classes PRESS HELIUM PLANT BEING BUILT AT v FORT WORTH (By Associated Press)' " Fort Worth, Texas. A great helium plant from which the United States government hopes to obtain non-inflammable gas in sufficient quantities to supply its military balloon is.- near completion here. Installation of ma chinery has begun and it is expected the plant will be in operation by Aug. 1, unless Congress sliould fail to fur ther "support the undertaking. Helium is extracated from natural gas by a secret process.!- l-J. Constmction of , the plant, the only one of its kind in the world and at a cost of approximately $5,000,000 was started during the world wrar follow ing a series of experiments conducted by: army and navy experts here and at Petrolia, .Texas. Beyond' the fact that -a non-inflammable non-explosive. gas had Jeen developed, the results of the experiments have remained a sec ret. The helium -plant, since its con struction started, has been under mili tary guard. A naval lieutenant is in command. " MEVOTE . ON THE TREATY T f PI I p 1 1" Tf:stwietffls fourteen miles, of roadway I'll t I fil I ! s (By Associated Press) Washington. The Senate is ex pected to , reach a vote on the "peace treaty tonight. Many senators are predicting that the treaty will fail to receive the necessary two thirds vote and that a. motion to reconsider will be made. The Republicans are hoping that some of the Democrats : will support the pact' after recording their .objections to the majority reservations. which enter immediately into con sumption ace meetng with" a similar uncertainty. In other words, it now seems probable that there is ad efin-. ite limit to the demand of the pub lie at the present prices. Conditions in the expert trade are even more difficult. The discount on European i exchanges in this market "has now a point where - a curtailment of our export tradg is taking place. Buy ing orders' are being cancelled, and ships are leaving our shores" in bal last. The .contraction of " domestic consumption and th decline in exports' Will probably be- reflected in lowered prices. Moderate price - recessions and price stabilization are a desirabla and indeed an inevitable" result : of -the steps . wheh have been taken . gradual ly to bring commerce and industry to that same, productive basis which is the only foundaton for permanent .prosperity. " ; r The bank points out that while cur- ta-rlmient of exports may result' in an excess of certain commodities, : there are ,some lines where & positive short age prevalg and -concludes: .
