companled by wind that almost
reached the proportions Of gale. 1t

strength and appro Ximately 100000
war strength, and for a federalized
National Guard of 457, 900 officers and
men at maximum st ength.
Discussion of the conference report
embraced a denunclation of Great
Britain for execution of Irish reVolu-
tionists, attacks upor the administra
tons Mexican policy, renewed assaults
upon the National Guard as a politi-
cal force, and various criticisms or the
provision for government nitrate
manufacturing plant.

that representatives of General Car
rama were negotiating with foreign
governments against the United States
and that this government would be
forced to fight foreign forces on Mex
ican soil if it did not soon do its full
duty to the people of Mexico and the
United States
Senator Borah of Idaho, renewing
his attack on the National Guard as
a political force, declared it would
prove to be more detrimental to the
United States than a.. invading army.
He arraigned Great Britain for the
Irish executions. declaring there had
been no greater bloN to free institu-

Senator Lodge and Chairman Stone

criticized the army bill, the former
blaming the House for not accepting a
