HAY SEES
A LIGHT
He Believes Regular Army
Increase Is Neces-
sary
OF ONE
IN COMMITTEE
Optimistic Outlook for the
Army Measure at the
Present Time

Washington, Feb lS.--Complete agree
ment as to the necessity for increasing
the standing army to 100000 men has
been reached by Chairman Hay of the
! House military affairs committee, and
Representatives M. f, Farley and {. L.
Caldwell, both of New York, and both
| Democrats. This news comes from an
authoritative source and is of the ut
most significance, for, on the SUPPOSE
ton that the Republicans on the COM
mittee will stand by the secretary of
wars recommendation, this switch on
the part Of Hay gives an assured ma
iority of one in the committee for an
increase in the regular army.
This estimate is based on the assump-
ton, which is an extreme one, that all
the 10 Democrats except the three just
mentioned will oppose the increase. In
all probability such men as Olney of
Massachusetts, will side with the chair
man, but in any event it seems now
practically certain that the bill as re-
ported by the committee will in this one
respect, follow the administration plan.
The complete administration plan for
the regular army as outlined by the
president asked for an increase OF the
standing force from 5,023 officers and
l02.0s5 enlisted men Of all services to
1886 officers and l34.707 enlisted men.
This would mean the addition of 50
companies OF coast artillery. Is com

fantry four regiments of field artillery,

of enlisted men for quartermaster corps.
hospital corps the ordnance department
and other auxiliary services.
As outlined in these dispatches on

make a fairly liberal appropriation for

This brought a blunt answer from the
