FINAL VOTE ON THE
army BILL APRIL IS
Senate May Increase Peace
Strength Beyond
100000.

WASHINGTON, April S.-With the
final vote on the army organization
bill assured in the senate on April IS
there still Is much speculation as to
the probable final form In which the
first OF the great national prepared
ness measures Will go to the Joint con-
ference committee OF the senate and
house.
The senate agreed today to devote
to the army bill all its sessions be-
tween now and April Is, with the ex-
ception of next Monday and Tuesday,
which were reserved for discussion Of
the free sugar repeal bill. The agree
mcnt contemplates final disposition
of the army bill before adjournment,
April IS.
Some senators expect that a con-
siderable increase will be made by the
senate over the committees proposal
to fix the peace strength Of the
standing army at 10000 enlisted
men. Both Republican and Demo-
cratic members have said on the floor
they would support amendments for
a greater figure. some advocating as
large force as three hundred thou
sand.
Senator Chamberlain. chairman Of
the military committee, originally
proposed a peace strength of 100000.
There have been no proposals to re-
duce the committees figures. The bill
passed by the house provides for a
peace strength of 100000 and the
struggle to come In the conference
committee is expected to be sharply
outlined.
There are indications that the re-
cent battle in the senate over the vol
unteer army plan will have an i'm
portant bearing in the conference
committee. The continental army pro-
ject of the administration was partic-
ularly repugnant to the house mill
tary committee. The senate's volun-
teer army proposal retained in the bill
by close vote, is a miniature repro
duction Of the abandoned continental
army scheme. One representative who
is virtually certain to be one Of the
three house members on the confer
ence committee Is known to favor a
much larger regular army than that
provided for by the house bill and
also to lean toward the volunteer
plan.
With these elements to consider,
many senators believe it possible that
the volunteer plan can be traded out
In conference for an increase over the
house regular army figures. the au-
thoriZatiOn for citizens training
camps being retained by accepting the
house provision in that regard.
Debate in the senate today was
confined to the government nitrate
plant projects. None of the pending
amendments was voted on.

Senator Chamberlain and Senator
Stone, chairman of the foreign rela-
tions committee, statements that the
army reorganization bill had no con-
nection whatever with the situation
