1 General .Would Drop "Dead Timber" Among Officers. STAFF PROMOTIONS HIT school fund allotment, and the ap parent padding of the Antelooe school fund allotment. Clyde T. Bonny, principal of the Antelope school and former Wamic county school super intendent at whom the thrust was aimed, denied the charges today in fighting style. Bonny evidently believes the story was prompted by the county court, with which bodv he had so ma n v dif ferences that he resigned his position as school superintendent at the close of his hist term. He sets forth that there is not any of the echool money due any school district in the county. Further, he declares that the only reason Wapinitia and Wamic and Friend were left out was because they failed to comply with the law governing apportionment of the school fund. Plan, or "Putting All Trained Mcu Into Localized Itcscrvc Division Preferred to Vsc of Guard. MERGER SAYS GOOD-BYE 9 - CARDINAL THANKS COUNTRY AGAIN FOR HELP GIVEN". WASHINGTON. Nov. 1. Elimina tion of "dead timber" among army of ficers was suggested by General Per shing before the senate and house military committees today as one of the steps advisable in peace-time re organization of the military estab lishment. In nearly every grade, the general thrra were a few officers who had passed the stage of usefulness and should be replaced. In reducing the army, from 500.000 to 300,000 men, the general said, only a. very small reduction could be made in the number of staff officers. We had 350 on our staff in France for an. army of 2,000.000 men," he . r. iri "Wo shnnld have r.eeded the same number for half as many." "Nearly every army officer goes around with a, reorganization bill in - his pocket." said General Pershing, "and if you examine them you'll find each has one arranging good promo tions in his own service. "In France .we assigned officers to duty without regard to what their previous service had been, and they . performed efficient service." Chairman Wadsworth said some re cent promotions had created 58 colo ' nels for 18 cavalry regiments. General Pershing said his scheme would pre ' vent that. Promotions Benefit Staff. "Staff officers have been able to come to congress," General Pershing idded, "and get promotions to the ex. :lusion of promotions for officers of ihe actual fighting arms." When the proposed consolidation of Jie chemical warfare service-with the engineer corps was taken up a com nitteeman asked if use of poison gas should not be eliminated. "I'd be glad to see that," General Pershing returned, "but somebody :lse might use it and leave us in the urch. 1 would continue preparation .'or chemical warfare." "The national guard performed ex--ellent service in the war considering ts limited opportunity for training," aid the general. "Its officers and nen had the feeling, and quite prop :rly so, that they had not had com plete support from the regular army." Men who have served in the pres nt war should be allowed to enter oluntr reserve orratUantjonB. Oen ral Pershing said. "I would classify .nd assign them to service," he said, with divisional units complete by lo i -allties, ready for Instant call. , Guard Should Be L'sed. "National guard divisions should be ".tilised In the same manner-as (ar as jossible." he added. "ItJon't know how far the 48 states t re going in re-establishing their . lilitia for local use," he continued But the governors might be allowed - o call on the reserve organizations or help In case of emergency." General Pershing was asked to ex- Iain exactly what his theory was for - inning me national guard m con ' ection with the military establish- - .iient. I think it would h wia to v 11 troops that have seen war service .il national guard units anA Inrin.-t item into the federal reserve units," :: ie answered. "The national guard ould be kept as part of the training ervlce. "You will always have 48 different inits to deal with in connection with he national guard. The states have T ontrol over the guard, but the fed- - ral government has some authority ; o enforce regulations over it. : Guard Finn Not Favored. "If ho system of military training i -vas adopted we shall have to fall ack upon the national guard, but J . ihould hate to see it." Several committee members came 7 .o the defense of the guard system - and its results. 1 "This law provides that every man ; rained shall be automatically called - nto service in case of war." said ; Representative Miller, republican of - Washington. "What are your views T AS to that?" IT General Pershing1 said he would - favor passing the trained men into reserve organizations and calling them into service automatically when their unit was needed. Z "You wouldn't have a selective i draft then?" Representative Miller r pursued. "I think the other would be the X better plan," said General Pershing. WASHINGTON", Nov. t.

Cardinal Mercier, primate of Belgium, boarded the steamship Megantic for Liverpool today after being entertained at a civic reception.

I feel a strong assurance that a lasting tie of mutual sympathy and confidence has been established between your country and mine, and that it will endure for venerations to come. If the calamities of this great war and the bitter sufferings which it entailed for our people have brought one bright thought, it is of this bond of union between us. "Once more, my dear American friends, let me express to sou my heartfelt thanks for the wonderful assistance which you gave to Belgium during the war. "Let me thank you again for the generous way in which you have re sponded and are responding to my appeal to help me once more in the heavy tasks of social and moral re construction in combating the devas tating effects of radical socialism land bolshevism, which await me at nome, tasKs wnicn are related closely not only to the welfare but to the very existence of my people, even though they themselves in this period of unrest and resentment mav no fully realize it. "The world, I know, seems to have these difficult and unsettling prob lems before it everywhere. And yet I have the profound conviction that jus tice and rigfct will, when given their hearing, solve these problems of un rest and measurably seconcile the differences -of man. It is my duty, I know, to work to this end. I pray you, my dear friends, to do likewise." WAR STUDY IS CREDITED INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Nov. 1.
