lAsasaatsd Press By Federal wlrelessl

WASHINGTON, d. c.. May /.
After days and nights of dead
locked discussion, the house and
senate co1ferees on the army re-
organization bill have virtually
agreed upon a plan which will give
the country an Army of 10000 in
peace times.
With the plans for expansion pro-
vided in the Chamberlain bill as
passed by the senate, the scheme
which is now being agreed upon
viii produce 25o,000 men when the
organizations are filled to was
strength.
It is apparent that the bigger
army plan as provided in the
chamberlain bill is winning its way
as against the Hay bill. which was
passed by the house and would give
an army peace strength of about
10000
The Chamberlain bill originally
provided a peace strength within
five years of l78,C00 men of all
arms, or approximately 10000
fighting troops. The full war
strength originally was to be 225.-
600. The army would consist of
is infantry. 25 cavalry and p field
artillery regiments, in addition to
the staff and other special corps
and the coast artillery.
Advices Saturday night said that
tie conferees might eliminate the
volunteer army feature and p:e-
serve the national guard feature OF
the reorganization bill Nothing
further was done about this by the
conferees today.
