ARMY SEEKING INVESTIGATION #ALLJTS OWN Haven’t Even Enough Billets for Target Practice, Says Infantry Journal. Times 1 Vashindton Bureau. ■ 132 2 New York Avenue. WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.—1f tne air service will be quiet for a little while, the rest of the Army wants to be investigated. So says the Infantry Association, to which practically all Infantry officers in the Regular Army belong, as well as many of the reservists^' The association, in an article in the Infantry Journal, says: “We want a serious investigation of the entire military problem. A committee of Congress or a civilian committee, composed of veterans and publicists and legislators, might well conduct an exhaustive study of the entire defense needs of the Nation, of the Act -of 1920 and of the facilities available in present appropriations or in the treasury of the counry for carrying out the provisions, of that act. Mitchell Needed “The Air Servicie is not the only branch of the Army in a bad way. It simply happens to have a state-ment-issuing officer. “With inadequate resources a Regular Army of 118,000 has been meing to do the work originally out for an Army of 280,000. cracking under the strain-’’ An entire new deal is being demanded by the Regular Army. Cuts in the appropriations from $418,135,257 do $262,134,050, its spokesmen say, have so hindered the work that it is surprising that the morale and accomplishments are good as they arc/. Both the organized reserves and the R. O. T. C. say they are getting along with less money than they need. Other Allegations Other allegations they make are: "Organized reserve officers get insufficient training—combat officers, a few weeks once every three years, and non-combat officers once every live years. College youths in the R. O. T. C. have to wear shoddy, disreputable uniforms left over from the World War stock. Colleges desiring to establish new units are refused because of “lack of funds.’’ Funds are insufficient for the C. vi t c sand their increasing attendance. cr u.m-era are housed in Negro shanties, properties belonging to the War Department are in such condition that a year ago it was estimated that $18,000,000 would just begin to care for the necessary repairs on buildings worth $400,000,000. The Army hasn’t even enough bullets for target practice. Seacoast defenses are not in the hands of men who could use them in case of sudden attack, because of reductions in HMgst Artillery personnel. Wprld Vjr surpluses of clothing and equipment are pretty well used up. JAP OFFICER KILLSTSELF Hu United Press TOKIO, Jan. 15. —Because months ago he gave a wrong order to the men of his company, resulting in the death of three conscripts, Lieutenant Ishigami, one of the officers of the Mito garrison, committed suicide in one corner of the parade ground at his post. lie delayed shooting himself for nearly a year, he explains in a note found on the body, because he desired to help his other conscripts through their two year term with the colors. The dead officer was highly thought of and was an honor graduate of the Tokio Military Academy.
