The wall, which was sunk into the

guish It.

The fact that the flames have eaten
through this huge barrier, has caused
Navigation officials who are now put

force of men are at work drilling holes
deep into the earth and into these
openings water and slush is being
poured directly on the subterranean

Already this fire has destroyed mill

Senate Legislation is Side

WARRINGTON. March 2O.-With
all other legislation sidetracked and
the parliamentary right of way
cleared. the senate today prepared
TO rush the Cham berlain army bill to
a vote at record-breaking speed AL
though there promises to be consid-
cradle debate on the measure. its
final passage is not doubted by lead
ers who have canvassed the senate's
sentiment on preparedness.
Party lines have been swept away
completely on the defense issue. An
overwhelming majority of the re-
publican senators will vote for the
Chamberlain bill Thus far. the
only two voices lifted against the
measure have been Sen. Hitchcock.

army of 265. 900 men. and the raising
Of the national guard to 100000

the senate will have 10 be modified.

house measure and compromise the
widely different ideas of the two
bodies.
A more careful analysis of the

corps, seven aero squadrons with
