the folding or the skin. To form protective

Washington, Feb. 13.-The house
passed the army appropriation bill
and entered upon consideration of the
sundry civil bill, the last but one of
the big money bills. The debate on
the army bill was confined largely to
discussion, of the question of4pass-
ing bills to remove the charge of de-
sertion against soldiers and was made
notable by a statement by Mr.. Nc
Clellan IN. " comparing the cost of
the soldier in European armies with
the cost in the United States. Ac-
cording to his figures, including the
cost of pensions, ETC., each United
States soldier involved an expense of
$2,82S, while German soldier costs
1927 and French soldier $780, 49,,
Previous to the consideration of the
appropriation bills the letter reflect
ing upon Mr. Perry S. Heath, which
Mr.. Sulzer introduced into the pro-
ceedings, was expunged from the rec
ord. During the debate upon the mo-
ton to expunge Mr.. Sulzer renewed
his attack upon Mr.. Heath, reiterating
his statement that he was willing to
father the statements in the letter
and declaring that if action was
brought against, him he would not
plead his constitutional ammunition.
