House Amends Army In
crease Bill to Provide
for Big Reserve.
ADDS TO POWERS
OF THE PRESIDENT
Measure Now Authorizes Call of
Reserve Regulars Without
Asking Congress.

Washington. March 21- Although
rapid progress was made in the House
to-day with the Hay army increase bill,
it was found impossible to reach a
vote before adjournment. The meas
ure may be passed tomorrow. "calen-
dar Wednesday" having been set aside
to permit its uninterrupted considera-
ton.
In the Senate Chairman Chamberlain
OF the Military Committee plans to
call up his army bill tomorrow. He
had expected the House bill TO be COM
pleted to-day and was waiting for it,
but concluded tonight that time would
be saved by taking up the Senate meas
ure at once.
Several important amendments were
made to the Hay bill to-day. With one
exception they were approved by Chair
man Hay Of the Military Committee
After defeating a proposal by Repre-
sentative Kahn TO permit efficient reg
reserve in one year on recommendation
Of their commanders, or in two years
on their own motion, the House re-
yersed itself and put through a similar
amendment by Representative Gardner
over Mr.. Hays opposition. The Sen
ate bill contains such provision.
Students as Reserve Officers.
The most important amendment was
the insertion of the reserve officers
training scheme proposed by Repre-.
sentative Gard, Of Ohio, which has been
included in the Senate bill. 1t pro-
yides that military instructors be sup
piled 20 any civil educational institu-
tion with an available student body
Of 100 or more and where a military
course satisfactory 10 the War Depart
ment is established. A sufficient num-
Der OF graduates would be designated
for six months additional training
with the regular army 20 maintain
corps of $4,000 reserve officers. The
proposition has been approved by the
Association of Military Colleges and
Schools.
Another amendment accepted would
permit the President 20 order out the
regular army reserve without going TO
Congress for authof--y. The contem-
plated strength Of the reserve is 10000,
and as the bill now. Stands the Presi-
dent could increase the regular army
from its peace strength, OF 10000. 20
$4,000 by executive order if war
seemed imminent.
To Mobilize Munitions Factories.
The last amendment adopted was Of
fered by Representative Tilson, of Con-
necticut. a member of the committee.
II would authorize the War Department
20 have constructed all the tools and
fixtures necessary 70 prepare private
munitiOn plants for the manufacture Of
army rifles, cannon and ammunition
The fixtures would be stored By the
government in peace times, but could be

THE TRIP TO THE BAY.

We regretted that it was i'm
possible yesterday for us to &C.
company a large number of our
citizens to the mouth of Yer.
million Bay via the New iberia
canal as arranged by DR.. w. F.
Carstens. who is endeavoring to
interest our citizens in finishing
this important waterway which
will ultimately rebound to the
benefit Of New Iberia. Even in
its unfinished state at the present
time this Canal has been instru.
mental in draining and reclaim
ing thousands of acres of land
south of New Iberia within a
radius Of fully three miles.
Aside from that the water from
our little City finds its way to the
Basin and relieves the entire
southern part of this municipal
ity. Some weeks since we &C.
companied DR.. Carstens to the
basin and it was noticeable that
the refuse from New iberia was
rapidly filling in what was at one
time a Basin some fifteen or more
feet deep. With a surplus in the
treasury Of some 10000 which
can be used for no other purpose.
and probably an additional 500
200 this canal could be completed
as it was originally intended and
contemplated when the tax was
iinr osed.
