Criticised by Warren.

Mr.. Warren criticised the naval dill so
far as il provides for an increase in the
navy and the marine corps, saying that
when the increase for the army was pro-
posed it was placed in a separate bill and
brought into the senate early in the ses-
sion so that full discussion OF il could
be had. He referred to the recent re-
marks OF Senator Hale in the senate
in which the senator from Maine COM
mented on newspaper article stating
that the policy of the secretary of war
has been to increase the regular army
to 125,0O0 men. Mr.. Warren said there
seemed to be a feeling of resentment to-
ward every proposition to enlarge the
army, and since the speech of the SEN
atOr from Maine there had been wide
spread comment on the extravaganza of
appropriations for that branch of the
service. Now, he said, the navy bill was
before the senate with provisions for an
Increase in the enlisted force. which il
was proposed TO pass in a minute
