WASHINGTON March 6-The question
OF the enlargement of the medical depart
ment of the army occupied the major nor
! ton OF the time of the senate today The
question arose in connection with the con-
sideration Of bill for the displacement
of contract surgeons by physicians who
snail be given the rank of army officers
and the reorganization OF the medical CORPS.
Mr.. Hale criticised the bill as an entering
wedge for a general increase of the army
and said that II was part OF a general
plan OF the general STAFF which he charged
with a general purpose of enhancing the
army's Importance In his remarks the
senator said the general STAFF was disposed
TO encourage an invasion of China
Messrs. Carter and Gallinger spoke in
somewhat the same vein of objection as did
Mr.. Hale. while the bill was defended by
Messrs. Warren, Blackburn and other SEN
ators. The bill was not disposed of.
The only speech of the day on the state

advocated the passage of the bill as re-

The bill providing for the increase of the
efficiency of the medical department Of the
army was called up and Mr.. Hale spoke in
opposition to it. He said that the bill was
one OF the many prepared by the general
stan of the army intended to accomplish
the influence of the army which he be-
lieved undesirable He added a word cs-
pressing his conviction that the plan was
that of the general stan and not of the
secretary of war.
'All Of these bills have their root here -
he said. II find that this staff. dealing
with an army of 60,oO men, is disporting
itself as the general STATS in Europe do.
whereas in Germany, for instance, there is
army of 10000 or 10000 men. While
the plans pursued were proper where cacl
