WASHINGTON. Aug. 25 (AP).-
Indications are that the Army's bud.
get for 1927 will be limited toaiig-
are which will require new reduc-
tions in its enlisted and commission-
ed personnel. Although no authori-
tative estimate has been made avail.
able. there is a, general fear among
War Department officials that front
7.000 to 10.000 enlisted men ‘1 will
have to be dropped in addition pos-
sibly to one or two thousand officers.
Only Course Open.
Prospects of a budget reduction
and its effectdipon the national de-
fenso system have been made the
subject of various Studies by the
general staff. Their net result ap-
pears to have brought a. conviction
that if appropriations for the Army
are reduced, only one course is
open for the War Department—to
order a corresponding cut in officers
and men. ‘
Belief that the enlisted strength
will be curtailed by seven to ten
thousand is based, in addition to the
current signs, upon the effort made
by Budget Director Lord last year
to reduce the existing pay allowance
for enlisted men from a 118,700
mun basis to about 111,000. Only the
stiff resistance of Secretary Weeks
to that-proposal saved the threaten-
ed cut then. and it has been indicat-
ed ever since that a. new light on
the same front was impending this
year.
Concern in the staff on this ques-
tion has developed recently with
developments involving the illness
of Secretary Weeks and his inability
to carry on as Secretary of War since
early in April. It has been stimulat-
ed also hy l'resident Coolidge's re-
peated pronouncements in favor of
"relentless economy." .
Ask 01.000.000 Reduction.
That General Lord will ask the
War Department to reduce its budget
$7,000,000 for 1927 as against 1926
is generally believed likely. although
a few of the more optimistic depart.
menial officials think the reduction
will not he more than 85,000,000.
Not only has the Army's authoriz-
cd strength been pared down. but
lack of funds for supply needs has
brought the reserve stocks of many

kinds to a point of actual exhaus.
tion. The Army no longer is able to
live on its own war-time stores. Sup-
ply officers declare the 1027 budget
sould be in normal emergency sup-
plies. ,
Need for housing facilities for
troops. also has nrlsvn with the de-
terioration of barracks and officers
quarters built during the war for
temporary use and still occupied in
many instances. Cavalry officers cite
as one of their chief complaints. the
increasing age of troop horses. Air
service officers declare they are fly-
ing antique craft. Filed artillery of-
ticcrs say they suffer from personnel
shortage and coast artillery officers
assert they have been compelled to
grease many of their guns and put
them in storage for the some rea-
son.
These housing and supply needs.
in the opinion of \\’ar Department
officials will have to be cared for
even at the expense of further cur-
lailmcuts in officers and men. Dc-
1artmeut officials contend that un-
less Congress gives relief. the Army
will have to stop recruiting.
