HAY AND WILSON TO
 CONFER ABOUT ARMY
Will Discuss National Defense Plans Which Call for Appropriation
 of $4OO. O.OOO,O 900.

Washington, Oct. 14.-Representa- ! tive James Hay, of Virginia, chairman 1 of the house military affairs commit l tee, had an engagement with Presi- dent Wilson today to discuss plans for national defense which contemplate a ] four hundred million dollar appro- priation by the next congress. This would be an increase of approximately $40, 100000 over the previous year, of which about $60,00O,000 would be for the army and $S0,0O0,0O for the navy. The additional expense probably will ] be met by bond issue.
 Although the amount which con- gr ess will be asked to appropriate for the army and navy it is understood, has been put at about $450,O0O,O 900, this amount may be cut down to about $400,00O,000 at conference next
 week between the president and Sec
 retaries Garrison and Daniels. In
 dications are that an appropriation of about S2,000,000 will be asked for the army and $218,000,000 for the
 navy.
 Today's conference between Chair man Hay and the president has to do particularly with plans for the army. The president had before him the out lines of military policy prepared by Secretary Garrison, which 1t IS said provides in part for an increase in the regular army from S7,00O to 12O,OOO men and creation of a reserve Of about 100000 men. The president re- gards the army program as conserva- tive and well balanced
 The president spent practically the entire morning going over Secretary Garrisons estimates and plans, which are understood to propose an increase Of 30,O00 to 5O,000 in the army, a large reserve to be created through in- Gucing men to join the ranks by short term enlistments. The plans also in- clude encouragement of the National Guard and increasing of the number of army officers by using the military academy at West Point to it's full ca pacity.
 After conferring with Assistant Sec retary Breckinridge, the president laid the plan before Chairman Hay of the house military committee. Later he will consult Chairman Chamberlain of the senate military committee and other influential leaders of both sen- ate and house.
 The administration is confident that the democratic leaders in both houses will approve the plan, although it is not expected that the appropriations will be made without some opposition.
 In the recommendations of both Secretaries Garrison and Daniels, particular attention was paid to air craft.
