Commenting on the cost of maintain

calls attention to Germany's failure to

An appropriation of $."'f,uoo Is rcrom
mended for construction of additional
wrt at ltforman own' hosMtal.
In the same mail, though under sepa
rate enclosure, was a resolution as
follows, signed by 37 leading mtm
ter of the chamber, although the
opposition term some of tho signa
tures "misleading":
"We, the undersigned citixens of
Ashland, members of the Ashland
Chamber of Commerce, In view of the
unjustified attack on the Ashland
Chamber of Commerce by tho local
lres. do hereby resolve that the issue
nt stake In the election of tho new
board of directors is NOT whether
Mr. Bert II. Greer shall control our
Chamber of Commerce and achieve
personal revenge.
Believing that the best manner in
which we may show our approval
and confidence in our Chamber of
Commerce and our disapproval of
such Injustice is to reinstate our re
tiring directors, wo hereby resolve
that every effort shall be put forth
toward the solid reinstatement of the
retiring members of the board of the
Chamber of Commerce, who are all
heartily lit favor of a new tourist
hotel and sanitarium."
The claim is further made that,
numerically, the names represent
only 37 out of a total membership of
311 at the present time. In the Banie
enclosure was another document,
likewise "franked," containing an at
tack on Greer, coupled with threats
that another newspaper would bo
launched in Ashland soon. The Tid
ings editor has published a "deadly
parallel," as relating to promise and
performance, in connection with
which guaranties for 1922-1924 are
enumerated as follows, the "progres
sive hotel ticket being pledged to
' "Support everj' effort, no matter
by whom made, to secure tourist
hotel and sanitarium for Ashland.
"Spread the name of tho city and
its resources abroad.
- "Make known the efficacy of its
wonderful springs and the desira
bility of Ashland, as a place of resi
dence. "Exploit its church and school fa
cilities. "Invite investment In order to de
velop pay rolls.
"Circulate literature concerning
Ashland, its resources and opportu
nities "Open up and keep open the year
'round, the Chamber of Commerce
exposition building at the depot and
see that it is suitably stocked with
displays of Ashland products.
' "Keep llthia fountains at depot in
good repair and make them attrac
tive nnd inviting.
"Erect big sign, electric or other
wise, near depot, advertising Ashland
lithia springs.
l'cr contra, and by way of compari
son Greer says the present manage
ment has spent a revenue of $10,000
fur the years 1920-1!"21, on a mem
bership basis of 02$ in 1920. and 72
on February 1, 1922. and furthermore

leagues are required for this; no al
liance, no engagements to devise ef
ficient means to meet agggression; no
freezing ct the status quo by ambig
uous treaties, so that wronged peo
ples will be foreer without redress."
Quoting the statement of Senator
Lodge, that abrogation of the Anglo
Japanese alliance is the "main ob
ject" of tho treaty. Senator Johnson
asked whether it were true that the
United States "bad something to
se'.l aud we were compelled by those
to whom we were to sell It to accept
the price they fixed."
"The fact is, llritaiu had un Irk
some alliance," he declared. "Her
people would not permit its renewal.
Japan would not consent to its abro
gation. They came to Washington,
Britain was determined to get rid of
an obnoxious alliance and succeeded.
Japan was determined to got some.
thing as good and got something bet
ter."
Speaking In support of li is amend
ment, Senator Robinson, democrat.
Arkansas, declared the convention
was Intended to attract "the votes of
Senators who feared the treaty is an
alliance."
Senator Lenroot, republican, Wis
consin, said Senator Kohlnson's
amendment would impose obligations
which were not reciprocal, an obliga
tion not even imposed by the League
of Nations..
Senator Borah, making his first ex
tended address on the trouty, said he
regarded it as an alliance, but even
taking the Interpretation of its friends
that U was only a "diplomatic group
lug of four powers," for purposes ol
conference, it still made for entanglement.
maintaining a skeleton force at arse
nals "to keep alive the knowledge of
tho methods of manufacture."
The amount carried in the for
sea coast fortifications, tho committee
reported, would not provide for any
new projects, but would go entirely for
maintenance of existing works and for
continuing of a limited number of sea
coast guns.
No New Projects
The total recommended for rivers
and harbors improvements, a Unit $15,
000,000 less than the amount sought by
the chief of engineers, is carried as a
lump sum aud projects on which work
would be continued are not specified.
None of the appropriation would go to
new projects, however.
Tbe subsistence of the army, the
committee recommended, would cost
$16,550,000, approximately $13,000,000
less than last year's item, the decrease
being brought about by a reduction to
30 cents per ration.
Expensive Administration
The sub-committee, which spent
three months In holding hearings and
framing tho bill, reported that "the
excessive cost of maintaining tho regu
lar army over pre-war exieuditurcs"
was found to be largely due to the ex
pensive methods of its administration.
