The real significance of the report
is that It makes Official admission OF

edge among the army and navy ex-
perts of this country and abroad.
General Wood, while testlfying before
the house military committee today,
laid particular emphasis on the posi-.

asked that the house proceed with the
consideration Of the bill for cOdifying
the judiciary laws.
REPRESENTATIVE Fitzgerald, OF New

house In opposing consideration OF the
bill. He declared that the house, un.
der the rules. could decide for itself
what business II should consider. II
was declared by the Democratic meni'
bers that the juiciary bill, which IS
lengthy, might be used as . buner TO
prevent the house from taking up any
other bills for many calendar Wednes-
days to come. ,
After the discussion had proceeded
for an hour, Speaker Cannon ruled
that there were no precedents exactly
fitting the situation, but that the house
should not be deprived o fdoing wha'
" desires. Therefore. he ruled tha:
the house could settle for Itself
whether II would proceed to consider
the bill. BY . vote of LAG to 81 the
house decided to take up the measure.
