Washington, Dec. 14-senator G. T. Chamberlain of Oregon, chairman of the senate committee on military af- fairs. has issued statement saying that he will support Secreary Garri- sons recommendation for an increase of 25,0o0 men in the enlisted personnel of the army and for the creation of re- serve forces. This statement by Sem ator Chamberlain. who will have charge of such legislation in the sem ate, is particularly significant because there seems to be some doubt as to President Wilson's attitude toward Secretary Garrison's recommendations F'urthermore, it is already apparent that Secretary Garrison will meet with bitter opposition from Chairman Hay of the house committee on military affairs. Senator Chamberlain s state-# ment indicates that there may be a fight between the senate and the house committees having Jurisdiction of the bills.

Fodham Noqu Hopes That
Siqns Nav BE BeHebed.

A NEW use for numbered foot
n ball players was discovered
yesterday at Fordham. Between
the quarters in the Fordham-Villa-
nova game the local collegians
were singing a song which ended
with the more or less cheering
question, "When will we VIM"
Just as the songsters emitted this
splendid ALTERATION of WIS, they
caught sight of three of their
neatly numbered warriors stand
ing together with their backs to
the stands. The trio stood in such
way that their numbers read
1915, and the students began to
wonder if that was the answer to
their question. Villanova helped
to make it the correct answer by
winning Z to 6. Fordham doesn't
play any more this year.
