WARNING AGAINST INCREASE
Senator Hale Of Maine Does Not Fav'
or Recent Army Appropriation.

Washington, April IA warning
against increasing expenditures for
the military establishments OF the Uni
ted States was sounded In the Senate
today by Senator Hale, chairman OF
the committee on naval affairs, and
his alarm was taken up and repeated
by other senators.
The discussion was based on sign
ed article printed in the Washington
Post today saying in effect that Sec
rotary Taft favored reorganization
and an enlargement Of the army that
would bring II up to 10000 men. The
immediate occasion for Senator Hale's
speech was the passage yesterday OF
the army appropriation bill, carrying
nearly sl00000.000 and he used It as
showing the tendency Of the times.
