WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S. = With
out dissenting voice the House
early in the day restored the provis-
ions to increase the pay OF non
commissioned officers and men but
prohibits the private employment OF
army musicians for pay. The House
took up the amendment offered by
Foster, OF Illinois, to appropriate ST.
100000 for the joint maneuvers OF the
militia organizations OF the several
states and the regular army. II pro-
voked an extended debate, Hull and
Tawney leading the opposition.
The latter repeated his warning that
IL appropriations are not kept down
the country will face a large deficit.
Holiday, Of Indiana, vigorously op-
posed the measure and could see no
war spectre on the horizon or in the
future. He declared the American
people had tired Of jingoism, mill
tarism and the effort was being made
to divert men from the peaceful pur-
suits to enter the military establish
ment. He was roundly applauded.
The money to be expended had bet
ter be used for giving employment to
the men out OF work. The amendment
was altered to limit the amount to
one million and was agreed to by Sc
to 48 but on the vote being taken
by the tellers was lost by 50 to 90
The consideration Of the bill had moi
been concluded when the House ad-
journed.
