Efforts to bridge the gap that exists
between the House and Senate on the
subject of military preparedness failed
in the Lower Chamber yesterday.
The House rejected the provision in the
Senate bill for standing army of 25o,OOt
men by a vote OF 221 to 142.
It rejected the Senate provision for a
volunteer army by a vote of Isl to 1oe.

The most strenuous fight occurred over
the proposal for the establishment of a
nitrate plant. When this was reached
Representative Hay proposed the substi-
tute for the Senate provision. This au-
thorizes the President to make an in
vestigation Of the possibilities and pro-
cesses Of nitrate manufacture and to
choose the most satisfactory site for a
plant.
Representative Lenroot offered a sub
stitute providing that a commission
should make an investigation and report
to Congress before the building Of a
plant was undertaken. This was defeated
by a vote Of 157 to 1874.
Representative Mondell, Of wyoming,
then proposed a substitute cutting out the
appropriation altogether and providing
