AGREE ON ARMY
OF 100000 'MEN
Conferrees Decide to Fed
eraIize State Militia and
Drop Volunteer Reserve.
Prom The Tribune Bureau J

Washington, May 13.-House snd
Senate conferrees to-day agreed on a
bill providing for an army Of 2O9,OO0
men in time of peace and capable OF
being expanded in time of war to
254.OOO. They agreed on federalized
national guard of 425,OOO as reserve
force. but rejected the volunteer army
scheme.
The compromise is a victory for the
preparedness advocates, in that the
measure provides $4,000 more men than
the House bill provided, and defeat,
in that the militia advocates succeeded
in eliminating the volunteer reserve.
The standing army Of 100000 men
will include 5,723 Philippine Scouts
400 men in the quartermasters de-
partment, 1890 in the medical corps
3387 in the signal corps, and approx
mately $3.50 unassigned recruits a
total Of 81 $50 men.
The bill probably will be passed by
both Houses without change, as the
,roup Of advocates of a larger army is
zoo small to overcome the paclist
majority, especially in the House OF
representatives. The measure Will De
