Protests Nuggeted as Army Force Shrinks Amid Cuts
Washington reports detail further reductions in the regular army as War Secretary Davis warns of grave concern.

Davis cites housing progress, morale boosts from pay raises, and a 1928 strength near 177,000 with ongoing expansion of the Air Corps and National Guard air units.
