ARMY OF 100000 MEN
IN PEACE AGREED UPON
Conferees VIII Submit Report to
Congress for Ratification
This Week.
SENATE BILL SYSTEM RETAINED
Regular Line Can Never Go Below
100000, and Maximum Strength
Would BE 10000 Officers and
Men.

WASHINGTON, May ia standing
army OF 100000 6ghting men, capable
OF being expanded in emergency to
$4,000, and backed by a federalized
National Guard OF 425. 900 as a reserve,
finally was agreed on to-day by House
and Senate conferees on the army bill
The agreement will be reported to Con-
gress early next week, and the measure,
the first OF the administration pre-
paredness bills. is expected 10 be before
President Wilson for his signature soon
afterward.
Advocates OF adequate national de-
Tense regard the conference agreement
q S triumph. The compromise between
the House and Senate measures was
effected after weeks OF struggle against
an insistent demand from House con-
ferees for standing army of only
10000 men.
The minimum enlisted strength would
be attained under the conference agree
ment within the next five years, and 1t
is stipulated that at no time shall the
total be less than 100000.
The conference report also provides
for government nitrate manufacturing
plants to cost not exceeding $4,000, 600,
for vocational education in the regular
army. and for establishment OF military
training camps for volunteer citizens
whose transportation, clothing and
subsistence expenses while in training
would be paid by the Federal govern
ment.
TRAINING CAMP FEATURE
REGARDED AS CONVERSATION
The training camp feature as finally
approved is regarded as compensation
in q measure for the Federal volunteer
reserve OF 261.000 men, which Senate
conferees were forced to abandon on
insistence from the House.
In the agreement on the regular army
the Senate bill system OF organization
was retained as n substitute for the
House system, which would have re-
cruited q maximum army of 100000
men.
The regular line of the army, the
bill now provides. can never go below
10000, and its maximum strength in
times of peace would be 175,0o0 officers
and men. In this calculation, however.
there are excluded 5,723 Philippine
scouts. 6.4o9 I'm the quarterma ster' s
corps, 1890 in the medical department,
1887 in the signal corps and $3.50 un-
assigned recruits-a total of 1860.
These, added TO the regular line OF
$4,000 men. give n total regular army
peace strength of 206.659. The Prcsi-
dent Is authorized to increase the reg
ular army divisions to maximum
strength without congressional action.
The volunteer reserve army of 261 900
mon provided in the Senate bill goes
out. leaving the reserve army TO the
National Guard, which will be federal
lied. according to provisions of the
House bill. All officers and men OF
the guard must take an oath Of allegi-
ance to tho United States, as we'll as
to the respective States.
The National Guard at maximum
strength would be recruited on the
basis Of 500 men to each congressional
district, which would aggregate n total
Of 425.o00 men. This reserve force,

Washington, October Investigation
Nantucket apparently has eased the
minds of officials here, but it was said
authoritatively tonight that should the
situation develop prolonged paralysis of
American trade in the Atlantic or any
similar injury to vital American inter-

tho U-boat raid.

the great increase in marine insurance
rates and the possibility of serious
freight congestion and railroad embar-
goes have been foremost in the minds
of officials, it was indicated, and will
determine largely the governments pol
icy if an extensive submarine campaign
is attempted on this side of the Atlantic.
One high official expressed the view
that the unprecedented situation in
wolves questions which can be considered
only in an extra legal light. He sug-
gested that the narrow and dinly de-
fined stipulations of international law
could not be depended on entirely to
meet developments finally affecting the
nations internal interests.
The sinking of the Dutch steamer
Rloomersdjk, flying a neutral flag and
plying between two neutral ports, is I'M
derstocd to be one of the considerations
that has led officials to view with appre-
hension the future of submarine opera

PROGRAMME CHANGED

The case as presented appealed strongly

covered that .on account of an4interyening

leans the promise to Representative Dent
could be carried out. Hence the change
in the itinerary was ordered
The board was very anxious that the
change be not made generally known on
account of the probability of many other
cities demanding that exceptions in their
cases be made. Representative Dent be-
cause of the desire of the board de-
clined to make statement regarding the

leaked out and innumerable special dis

AS result it is anticipated that the

demands that it visit in addition to the
