NEW, ARMY BILL
THROUGH CONGRESS
HOUSE APPROVES THE CONFER
ENCE MEASURE ALREADY
PAST THE SENATE.
ONLY rs VOTES AGAINST IT
Washington's Representatives Follow
Minority Leaders Mann and Gard
ner-Spend Billion Dollars in s
Years-Some Oppose.

shington.-Congress on Saturday
completed its part in enactment of
the first of the administration prepar-
edness measures, the army reorgani-
zation bill, and sent the measure up to
President Wilson for his signature.
twenty-five Vote Against It.
The house approved, with only 25
dissenting votes, the conference re-
port of the army measure which al
ready had been accepted by the SEN
ate. 1t provides for a regular army
with a peace strength of more than
100000 men, backed by federalized
national guard of more than 100000.
and carries a reorganization of the
features worked out by war depart
ment officials to make the nations
fighting arm more efficient.
Must Yet Perfect Naval Bill
To complete the main elements of
the program of preparedness on which
the administration plans to spend
more than 1,000,000,OO0 within the
next five years, congress still has to
perfect and pass the naval bill, en-
bodying the navy increase and the
Notifications bill, which includes pro-
vision for most of the equipment for
the increased army.
Besides personnel increases, the
measure provides for a government
nitrate manufacturing plant to cost
not more than $20,OO0,O0O; for estab-
lishment of system of military
training camps for civilians paid for
out of the federal treasury; for
board to investigate the advisability
of establishing a government NUM-
tions plant, and for vocational educa-
ton in the army. liberalization of
the national guard would be accom-
plished through federal pay and
through a requirement making the
guardsmen subject to the orders of
the president.
Opposition Votes.
Republicans who voted against the
bill we're: Britton, Wheeler, Mann,
val NhCis 01ilStlc, hOuStIS, 1lUhndm,
Walsh, Guernsey, Hadley, Humphrey
Johnson (Wash), Hustled, Plat, San
ford, Moore, Morgan, Nelson.
Five democrats, Buchanan Qll),
Tavenner, Johnson (Ky.), Thomas and
Randall, voted against it. as did Lon
don, socialist, and Schall, progressive.
Three Westinghouse Against.
Representatives Hadley, Humphrey
and Johnson were among the repub-
licans who followed the lead of Mann
and Gardner and voted against accept
ing the report of the .conferees on the
bill. They did so primarily because,
they said, they desired to send it back
to conference in hope of getting pro-
visions for larger regular army, and
also because it contains the govern
ment-owned nitrate factory proposal.
This, in their opinion, means spend
ing of many millions of public money
in developing a purely southern wa
ter power plant
Representatives Dill and La Toilette
voted to accept the report.
