INFLUENCE OF BRYAN
Continued from Page One)

one of the principal proponents of the
desrability of an official warning to
Americans to keep off armed belliger-
ent ships has prepared a long address
on the whole subject of the position of
| the United States as related to the Eu-
ropean war. He has given notice that
! he will address the Senate. He will be
replied to by Senator Sutherland of
Utah, Republican member OF the for
eign relations committee.
! MeCumber's Activity
| Senator McCumber of North Dakota
also purposes to keep the warning is
sue before the Senate as much as pos
| sible and he will endeaTor to get a
vote on his warning resolution which
| was tabled last week and re-introduced
| Administration leaders. backed by Re
| publicans who support the President in
this crisis are in no mind now to per
nit another vote on the resolution and
plan to force it TO the Senate calen-
dar. probably to remain for the rest
| Of the session.
| Tomorrow the Senate will resume de-
bate on the Shields water power bill.
against which conservation champions
nave been conducting a persistent fight
| for several weeks. Amendments have
been voted down with due regularity and
! the fight of the conservationsts seemed
doomed to failure. A vote on the bill is
expected within a few days. after which
the steering committee has agreed that
! the Tillman government armor plate
plant bill shall be taken up. After that
! is disposed of the first of the nationa!
preparedness measures. the Senate army
reorganization bill. will be ready for con-
sideration, having been introduced Satur-
/ day by Senator Chamberlain. The Ore
i son senator hopes that the Senate will
begin discussion of the measure soon, as
he anticipates a long debate.
| Other matters pending in the Senate
are Senator Robinson's PROPOSED for an
! investigation of the aviation service of
the army. the Rrandeis inquiry, which it
is expected Will close this week, and the
public lands water power bill, which
Senator Myers o. Montana will press for
an early vote.
| Senator Myers plans to replace the ar
NOR plate bill. if possible, but his efforts,
leaders say, will be defea ted.
! What course the regular business of the
House will take this week depends large
/ ly on the disposition of the warning res
olution controversy. Tomorrow will be
devoted. to unanimous consent proposals.
and If the vote is not taken on the reso.
! luton Tuesday consideration of the lesis-
latlVe bill will be resumed. Regular cal
endar Wednesday work will follow the
next day. Thursday will he devoted to
the resolution fight if it is pu. over from
tuesday, but otherwise Majority Leader
kitchin will call up his free sugar bill.
Debate on this is expected to be extended.
Consideration of the Burnett in1mieration
bill probably will follow disposal Of The
sugar measure.

tee members thought, was too definite
in many respects.
liberalization Of Guard
For liberalization of the National
Guard the bill adopts with numerous
notifications the plan proposed by the
National Guard Associa ton. The rate
OF pay for officers, however. was set
at $500 a year for all of the rank Of
captain or above, $500 for first lieuten-
ants and certain specified staff Off
GERS. and $3.50 for second lieutenants.
The association plan proposed higher
pay for general officer.
Enlisted men would receive pay on the
basis Of one-fourth of the regular army
pay, and would contract on enlistment
TO serve the United States in time of
war. The enlistment period is fixed at
SIX years. three with the colors and three
IN reserve. and organization of the reg
uiar army is prescribed. Provision is
made also for examination of all officers
appointed by state authorities and for tn.
inclusion of officers of the National
Guard in the personnel of the militia di-
vision of the weY department.
The National Guard provisions OF the
Dill probably will be substituted by the
House provisions when the two bills
reach conference
The Senate committee gave particular
attention to the regular army features
while the house made the federaliza ton
projects its main object. Since the SAINT
general outline is followed in both bills
IL is believed that the agreement will not
be delayed.

The arrival of Mr.. Bryan at this
