THE ARMY BILL
Passed by the Senate-lt Carries a
Total of $95,314,710.

Washington, April 13-The Senate, tri-
day, passed the army appropriation bill
carrying $95,3l4.710. or 1881, i53 more than
when it passed the House, and So, 726, 1926
more than last years bill. Senator War
rem said the increase had been made
necessary by the economy wave which
swept over Congress. last year, and
caused unwarranted reductions
In discussion of the bill there was a
return to the House provision reducing
the cavalry from Is regiments to 10. De-
claring that it was general legislation,
Senator Lodde said it had been inserted
by the House under threat that the
entire bill should fail unless the pro-
visions should be accepted. He took the.
position that absolute failure would be
preferable to submission to coercion.
The army bill was brought up unex-
pectedly by an agreement reached when
the Senate convened, and thus prevented
the discussion of the Cummins and POM
creme bills.
