Each Year.

The Hay army bill. the first Of the ad-
ministratiOn's preparedness measures.
running successfully the gauntlet OF
anne ndment in the House yesterday, will
be put upon its final passage tomorrow.
Representative Gardner. of Massachu-
sets, will OFFER as a substitute for the
militia pay sections of the measure, the
provisions Of the Chamberlain bill now
before the Senate for a Federal volun-
teer force of PSI, COO. Efforts to amend
the industrial mobilization sections will
also be made, but it is expected that the
measure will pass the House substsnti-
ally in the form In which it was reported
by the Military Affairs Committee.
An amendment providing that when a
National Guard regiment is drafted into
the Federal army, during war. or when
war is imminent, there shall be organized
a reserve battalion which can be drawn
upon to keep the regiment up to maxi

TWO OF LOST AIRMEN
Reach CASAS GRANDES
Pershins Reports Arrival of Lieuts.
Willis and Kilner-No Word Yet
About Lieut.. Garrell.

, Anxiety at the ar Department con-
corning the fate Of three of the army
aviators who flew from Columbus to
join the Pershing forces at Cssss Grandes
was partly relieved yesterday afternoon
by Secretary OF War Baker, who an
nounced the receipt Of advices from Gen.
Funston, tsating that Gen. Pershing had
reported the arrival Of Lieuts. Willis and
Kilner, who piloted two 70 the aircraft.
Up to a late hour last night the de-
partment was without any information
concerning the fate of Lieut.. Edgar s.
Gorrell, who drove the third aeroplane.
Although both Willis and Kilner expert
enced engine trouble with their machines,
army officers in the signal corps division
OF the War Department insisted yester-
day that the seroplanes in the squadron
OF seven machines sent into Mexico were
of the latest type and had been giving
good service.
Reports to the War Department showed
that Kilner's machine developed engine
trouble after he had got some distance
across the border on Sunday and that
after returning to Columbus for repairs,
he had made his second start on Mon
day. 1t is assumed here that he sighted
Willis in trouble and that after the
two had made repairs to the disabled
machine, they continued together on to
Casas Grandes
Oficers here are still hopeful that the
five sirships now on the lookout for Cor
rell will locate him in time to save him
from starvation in the desert, provided
he has not been attacked by hostile Mex
leans. The latter prospect is thought un-
likely.
Secretary Baker Is inclined to believe
that the break in the military telegraph
between Casas Grandes and Columbus
is due rather to military trucks passing
over the wires, which were set close
to the ground. than to the cutting Of
the wires by bandits.
