HOUSE FIRM ON
MILITIA PLAN
viii Not Give Up Its National
Guard Measures to the
Senate

WASHINGTON. April 24.-when
the senate and house conferees on
the administration army bill meet
for their nrst session on Monday.
Rep. James Hay. chairman OF the
house committee on military affairs,
10 prepared TO lay down the basis
for an agreement between the two
bodies. In general terms, this prop
osition will be that the senate must
abandon its provision for q volun'
teer army and accept the house pro-
vision for recognition OF the militia
as a part OF the first line OF de-
Tense, in return for which the house
will accept the senate's proposal
for a larger standing army.
II the conferees can agree upon
these general terms. the bill will be
rewritten and can be returned 10
the senate and house for final ratin-
cation within 4 comparatively short
time. But II the senate is obdurate
and stands firmly for the volunteer
army as opposed to the national
guard. q deadlock Is likely to result
which may not be broken before ad-
journment.
Chairman Hay today stated TO
some of his colleagues that the bill
mrst be rewritten and IL can be said
authoritatively that the house will
accept no proposition that does not
include the national guard as the
principal force next to the regular
army. The national guard OF the
various states has stronger backing
in the house than in the senate ana
members are determined to give the
militia the recognition they believe
Is its due.
The Hay bill. which passed the
house, raises the strength OF the
regular army to $4,000. and pro
vides for strengthening and recruit
ing the militia to point where II
will. In the event OF war, become
rart OF the first lire OF defense. The
Chamberlain bill. which the senate
passed, fixes the limit Of strength
of the regular army at 100000. and
provides for the organization OF
volunteer army of 100000 men de-
signed to come next after the regu-
lars and take precedence over the
national guard. These are the main
points OF difference. though in their
details the two bills are not at all
similar. There are some other
points which will have to be COM
promised before an agreement can
be reached by the conferees, but II
they agree upon the basis outlined,
II In believed q satisfactory adjust
inent can be had. According to the
Cham beriain bill the regular army
oficers are taken care OF in every
respect. For instance. il is provided
that the chiefofstan shall be a
maj0r-general who shall have the
rank and pay of a lieutenant-general
while serving at the head OF the gen
oral star The house may be Undue
ed TO swallow much Of this consid-
crate treatment Of the regulars II
the senate will drop It's volunteer
army and accept the houses provi-
sions for the militia.

AGAIN SUPREME
California Tennis Players Bow to
Eastern Stars.
Fittino That Richard Norris VII.
iiams u and William N. Johnston
Should Meet In Final Cham
pionship Contest.

II looks as II the East had once more
regained her supremacy in the tennis
world. The comets and meteors from
fame on the courts have passed or are
about to pass. A review of the season
but recently closed, with Richard Nor
ris Williams II of Philadelphia re-
gaining the national title he had lost
the year before to william NJ. Johnston
of California, and the men from the
far West being repulsed all along the
line would seem to nugur such thing.
California sent its best to do battle
with the East. and when It came down
to final round Johnston, the cham
pion from San Francisco was pitted
against Williams of Philadelphia, for
mer champion, and 1t was fitting that
these two should contest for the high
est honors on the courts, for both had
previously shown their right to settle
the question of supremacy.
It took five desperately fought sets
before Williams was hailed as cham
pion of 1915; five sets during which the

sour pitching staff had lot OF
wretched luck last season, and that
helped largely to beat us out of the
flag. CullOp, one of the best south
paws in either league, pulled muscle
at time when he was needed most
and had to stay out of the game for
few weeks. Mogrdge, too, was laid
up when his services We're needed. But
that is part of the game. Next sea-

less opponent into submission.
The victory was not regarded
so much triumph for Eastern play
ing methods and court tactics over the
Californian, In this particular instance,
as It might have been had Williams
opponent been Maurice, Mclaughlin,
Lindley Murray or another of the rip
ping, tearing, net-storming men from
the coast.
The reason for this Is plain, for
Johnston himself Is one of the sound
est Of players, both as to production
of stroke and court genernlship. He
does not place his reliance on rushing
the net ut every opportunity, on ire
mendOus service and vicious smashing
but, rather, on combination of all
that Is best In lawn tennis.
The striking fact, as brought out In
the seasons big tournament play, Is
that the men whose game Is typically

spicuOus success In their campaign on

A commercial paper reports a short

The reason so many young men

more to bring victory than his power
full back and legs.
As Jim tells the story, he was to get
a handicap of 10 strokes, and he took
full advantage of It. He pulled through
the first stroke and let the boat drift
as far as 1t would go. Then he took
the second and drlfted to standstill.
BY the time he had used up his handi-
cap he was half n mile from the start
Ing line and just padded home. He
doesn't know what his opponent said,
because he couldn't hear him.
