N1ne Progressive kepupltcang Joined
with the majority in voting for the
bin. They were Senators Borah,
Clapp, Cummins, Gronna, Kenyon,
Norris, Po1ndexter, Sterling and
Works.
There was spirited debate on the
measure before it received a vote,
s4s...I Hay Bill Amended, - ~ - -
Although rapid progress was made
in the house with the Hay army in.
crease bin, it was found impossible to
reach vote before adjournment.
I'm. the senate Chairman Chamber
lain Of the military committee now
plans to call up his army bill today.
Several important amendments were
made to the Hay bill during the day.
With one exception they were ap-
proved by Chairman Hay OF the mill
tary committee:
After defeating a proposal by Rep
resentative Kahn, ranking minority
member Of the committee, to permit
efficient regular soldiers to. be dis
charged into the reserve in one year
on recommendation Of their COM
manders or in two years on their own
motion, the house reversed its action
and put through a similar amend
ment by Representative Gardner
(Rep) of Massachusetts, over Repre-
sentative Hays opposition. The SEN
ate bill contains such a provision
Adopt Senate Feature.
The most important amendment
was the insertion of the reserve cffl-
GERS training scheme proposed by
Representative Gard of Ohio Dem),
which already has been included in the
senate bill.
1t provides that military instructors
be supplied by the war department
to any civil educational institution
with an available student body of
100 or more and where military
course satisfactory to the war depart
ment is established.
Another amendment accepted, Of
fered by Representative Kahn, would
permit the president. to order out the
regular army reserve without going
to congress for authority. The con-
templated strength Of the reserve is
$4,000 and as the bill now stands the
president could increase the regular
army from it's peace strength Of 14O.-
900 to a strength of 2S5.000 by execu-
tive order II war seemed imminent.
Provide for Munitions.
The last amendment .adODted was
offered by Representative Tilson
fRep.) of Connecticut, member of
the committee. 1t would authorize
the war department to have construct
ed all the tools and fixtures necessary
to convert private munition plants for
the manufacture of army rifles, cannon
and ammunition.
1t has been estimated that the fix
lures would cost sl5, 100000 or more.

THE BATTLE OF VERDUN.

y The French lines have been bent

Thousand French soldiers have been
Escaptured, but not enough at any one
sstime to enable the attacking army to
1EInake a decisive gain.

may happen before it is ended, but if
q the French have, as they claim, $50

THE PASSING OF TIRPITZ.

1From the New York Worldly
The resignation Of Grand Admiral
Won Tirpitz is a decisive political VIC
tory for the German Imperial Chan
eellor and the Foreign Secretary. 1t
is likewise new assurance of peace
between Germany and the United
States. +-&
ssTirpitz has been the leader Of the
anti-American party in German poll
tics. This party has been aggressive
* in favor of war with the United
ates rather than restrict the use OF
bmarines to the limitations Of in
irrational law.
Twice the Tirpitz party brought
Germany and the United States to the
verge Of war; but the Kafser's sup
port Of Bethmann-Hol1weg and Herr
Won Jagow made it possible to main
tain peace =..'
In a way, Tirpitz has been the
Theodore Roosevelt of the German
political situation. Through writers
like Count Won Revent1ow he kept up
steady fire of criticism of the gov.
eminent and persistently attacked il
for it's weakness" and its coward.

General Staff was in sympathy with
his<campaign, believing that war be.

would benefit Germany by giving the
Imperial Government a free hand in
submarine warfare and in cutting of
the shipment of ammunition to the
allies. The propaganda on the whole
has had infinite possibilities of mis-
chief so far as this country is con
cerned.
The resignation Of .Tirpitz shows
plainly enough where the Kaiser
stands on the issue. He is with thu
