and costSj while Mrs. uruDb paid

Harding May Ask
Modification of
Army Budget Bill
Measure Discussed -at White
House Conference Presi
dent Expected to Sign
Despite Objections.
Washington, June 28. Although
President Harding is expected to
sign the army appropriation bill, re
ducing the standing army to 150,000,
he probably will call attention of
congress to certain- pi ovisions of the
measure which he is understood to
consider will require modification
at the next session.
The measure was discussed at a
conference of the president, Secre
tary Weeks, Speaker Gillett and Re
oublican Leader Mondell of the
house. Representative Green of Ver
mont, a republican member of the
house military committee, and Sen
ator Borah, republican, Idaho. It
is understood that a provision of the
bill, adopted at the suggestion of
Senator Borah and affecting the re
duction of personnel, occupied most
attention and that the president ex
plained why he considered that this
provision might, need modification
later.
The appropriation measure pro
vides that the reduction to 150,000
men must be accomplished by Oc
tober 1. War department officials
say this will require the discharge
of several thousand men by arbi
trary means. Under the Borah pro
vision, the department is prohibit
ed from exceeding the actual amount
appropriated, a stipulation ' which
Secretary Weeks is understood to
feel might force the government, m
its efforts to reduce the enlisted
strength, to break its enlistment con
tracts with some of the men to be
discharged.
. Today's conference, is understood
to have been called by the president
with he purpose of explaining the
administration's position in this re
gard.
Mr. Harding has only three days
in which to approve the bill if a
lppse of army appropriations at the
beginning of the next fiscal - year
July 1, is to be avoided. It is un
derstood that the . shortness of the
time led to his decision to attach his
signature and allow -objectionable
features to be straightened-out-later.
