Mr.. Burkett.
The motion to lay on the table was

Mr.. Culberson's Question.

Mr. Aldrich got a rise from Senator Gull
berson. the minority leader. who wanted
to know whether Mr.. Aldrich considered
the army appropriation too large. To this
Mr.. Aldrich replied by making the general
observation that the country Is spending
too much money.
I'VE all love the army in time Of war
and hate IT In time of peace" began Sena-
tor Warren Of Wyoming. chairman of the
military affairs committee. in defense of
the bill which passed yesterday.
Mr.. Warren went on to say that all Of
the senators were anxious to get the War
Department to survey rivers and harbOrs
to aid In getting appropriations for i'm
provements. The army. he said, Is work
ing branch OF the government in time Of
peace as we'll as in time of war.
Senator Beverage interrupted Mr..
Warren to ask him whether the standing
army of the United States and the read
lily available militia would be ready at
any time to meet on equal footing 'even
one army corps of any Of the great ma
lions of the world.
NO" announced Mr.. Warren.
"Or are we equipped with ammunition
and other necessary equipment to main
corps for single month";" asked Mr..
Beveridge.
NO" replied Mr. Warren again
Senator Hale here made an observation
In unOertOne. ONly the words '1magl-
nary war being audible
These words were caught up by Mr..
Beveridge. who demanded of Mr. Hale
whether he considered a war in the flu
ture impossible.
Practically impossible" replied Hr.
Hale with some feeling. THE statement
that some nation may invade this coun-
try. which Is being made so frequently
nowadays Is sheer nonsense"
THE senator's beatific views are at
~, sole 49,
full men on the subject" said MIR. Bev-
eridge.
In the end the senator then gave It as
his belief that the government might
save millions OF dollars and tens Of thou
sands of lives II 1t were prepared for war.
Doesn't Expect Wars.
II don't expect future wars" continued
Mr. Warren. but 1t is the unexpected
that happens. The United States has by
far the smallest standing army per capita
of any nation In the world
Except China" put in Mr.. Beveridge.
Senator Scott at this point called atten-
ton to the fact that 1t is the War Depart
ment which is building the Panama canal.
"Oh. yes" said Mr.. Warren. but that
is only a small matter In comparison with
the other things the War Department
does"
This reference to the Panama canal as
small matter caused a ripple Of
laughter over the chamber.
1t was asserted by Mr.. Galinger that
the Secretary of War in a recent speech
advocated much larger army.
Il hope the country will grow fast
enough and rich enough to have a larger
army. declared Mr.. Warren.
Before the debate was finished Senator
Hale left the chamber and few minutes
