Tom Grant, secretary of the chamber,
today received two letters advocating
the establishment of the plant in
Washington. One was from a mechani-

other from Theodore Hoffman, Of this
city. The engineer expressed a willing

advantages of the two places

Mr. Hoffman,, in his communication,
urged that Washington is "the logical
place" for the plant.

greatest benefit to the government"
Mr.. Honmann's letter asserts Here
the plant would be under the direct
supervision of Congress. the War De-
partment and all other departments
necessary to Its successful operation.
Among the many advantages that
Washington offers. as already set forth

the apparent fact and claim that WASH

posed appropriations reached in the
senate with the passage Of the army
appropriation bill, carrying in round
numbers 100000.
This grand total for preparedness
still is subject to revision, however,
because the army bill will follow the

auctions are probable, despite the firm
attitude of President Wilson in sup
porting the liberal response of the SEN

exceeded the appropriations made by
the house by more than $131, OOO, 600.
In the final hours of debate on the
measure the senate agreed to an ap-
preparation of $2,OO0,O0O for the relief
of dependent families of National

in service in the Mexican emergency.
Distribution of the fund is left to
the discretion of the secretary of war;
