WOULD COMBINE FOR DEFENSE.
Proposal by Senator NewIands for
Joint Committee.

Washington.-A proposal to coordi-
nate the national defense problems
through a joint congressional commit
tee was laid before the senate Satur-
day by Senator Newlands. Senator
Newlands was heard on various hear
ings of army bills, navy plans and 9TH
er aspects of the national defense at
the same time.
Senator Newlands' resolution pro-
posed the committee be empowered to
study the general scheme of national
defense, efficiency of the present army
and navy organization, ACCESSIBILITY of
compulsory service and of creating a
national defense council, the status of
organized militia and the question of
military schools, including possible CO.
operation of the states, the problem of
finding auxiliary ships for the navy in
war time, and various other phases of
the whole problem of preparedness.
The committee will be required to
prepare comprehensive report as
soon as possible.

wall of water 80 feet high and 120 feet
wide tore through the valley, sweep

The Otay river still was raging
torrent. Twenty-seven houses were
known to have been carried to de-
struction, the water taking with it all
live stock, crops and implements.
Further north the San Diego river
was at flood stage and was cutting
new channels. The Sweetwater river
was causing much damage to farm
lands along it's course and had de-
stroyed several packing plants.
AS Reported Monday.
Reports received from flood-ravaged
valleys of San Diego county showed
that a total of "a bodies had been re-
covered and raised estimates of the
total death toll to 65. Three thousand
persons were homeless, and there was
much suffering despite heroic relief
measures.
Reported breaking of the Cuyamaca
dam, so miles northeast of San Diego
and fear that other dams in territory
already partly flooded might go out
under the enormous pressure of their
mountain waters, added further gloom
to the situation.

Hickman, Ky.-Two thousand per-

when the West Hickman levee broke
Monday under the pressure of the Mis-

Several hundred persons forced to
abandon their homes in the lowlands

were admitted to the camp and ap-

WOULD INCREASE
REGULAR ARMY
PRESIDENT WILSON'S PROPOSED
CONTINENTAL SCHEME MEETS
WITH OPPOSITION.
QUESTION UP TO CONGRESS
Chairman of Senate Military Commit
tee Constructing Bill Proposing Ma
tional Army of Million Men
Navy Well Looked After.

Washington. - While President Will
son is carrying to the country his APP
peal for adequate national defense one
of the vital elements of the program
he has recommended to congress-the
continental army-faces serious oppo-
sition in both the senate and house
military committees.
Such an army, described by Secre-
tary Garrison as embodying the most
attractive scheme that could be de-
vised to give a final test of the prob
lem of training an adequate number
of federal volunteers in peace times,
would be expected to provide 100000
men of the total of approximately
100000 which the entire plan is cal
culated to make available
Increase in Regular Army.
Present indications are that the
continental proposal in some form will
be written into the army increase bill
being prepared by the senate military
committee, although that measure will
be devoted mainly to a complete re-
organization of the regular army on a
basis of approximately 235,000 men
with the colors, increasing Secretary
nearly 100000 men.
Compulsion Not Included.
Senator Chamberlain, chairman of
the senate military committee, says
he is confident his committee would
turn out without great delay a we'll
rounded bill providing for all the ele-
ments of national army of 100000
or more men. He thought proposals
for compulsory service or universal
training in the schools would be pre-
sented as separate bills, as few advo-
Gates of the universal service system
had been able to satisfy themselves
that either congress or the country
was prepared for such radical change
in policy.
Some members of the house military
committee are expected to make vigor-
GUS efforts to couple government pro-
duction of war materials with any
army increase program that may be
recommended. Just what form this
proposal will take is unsettled, but its
advocates apparently are acting on the
theory that some such provision is adj
visable to meet the war scares and
armament movements for selfish rea-
sons.
AS to the Navy.
So far as the navy is concerned.
there has been little on which to judge
the feeling of the house committee,
but it seems evident that a consider
ably increased building program for
1917 will be favored. In general dis
cussion among members of both house
and senate the prevailing opinion
seems to be that Secretary Daniels s.
year program finally will go through
and possibly be augmented in some
