mer Republican and justice of the state

it is said, has a large number of delegates
pledged to support him. and his friends as
sert that his nomination is assured in the

today completed consideration of the
Army Reorganization bill and ordered a
favorable report upon 1t. AS agreed up
on, only few changes were made The
section authorizing the President to re-
cruit the skeleton regiments ''in time of
war" was changed so as to make 1t more
specific, limiting such authorization to
time of actual hostilities, after de-
iclaration of war had been made. An ad-
ditional section was added as a provls-
ion providing that nothing in the act
should be construed as an authorization
to increase the enlisted force Of the
army in time Of peace.
Section five, empowering the President
to authorize each regiment ia draw its
recruits from such State or States as he
might designate was amended 80 as to
provide that each State should be en-
titled to furnish its quota before re-
cruits should be drawn from designated
States.
Chairman Hull Of the Military At
fairs Committee will secure action on
the bill at the earliest possible moment
1t may require special rule to gel
