Won Heybrand, the conservative leader

avoided the introduction of interpella-

The movement, which found an ex-

of two constituent elements.
First, there is large body of popular
opinion which is honestly interested in
the submarine weapon and desires it to
have every opportunity to display it's
efficiency unhampered by political re-
strictions. This element generally is
unaware of the political motives which
play apart in the movement.

ARMY BILL
AMENDED
WITHOUT
DEBATE

Washington, March 2f.-The
first action of the house today on
the army bill was to adopt without
debate an amendment to give the
president control over the reserve
Of 10000 men. The bill originally
uroVided that authority must be
granted by congress before reserv-
lists could be mobiIized.
The amendment, offered by
Representative Kahn of the COM
nittee and accepted by Chairman
Hay, puts the reservists under the
orders of the secretary of war to
be sent to any point when a call
to colors goes out.
The amendment offered by
most important additions to the
bill yet made. AS the measure now
stands the president would have
authority without consulting con-
gress, to increase the army from
100000 fighting troops to 175,000.
also to summon to colors 10000
reservists which the bill con-
templates will be provided within
four years.
The house rejected a proposal
by Representative Anthony re-
publican, Of Kansas, to recruit an
additional infantry regiment in
Porto Rico for service in the
Panama canal zone or elsewhere.
Encouraged by the narrow
margin which defeated the Kahn
amendment, Representative Gard
ner reoffered his first proposition
of that amendment in new Iangu-
age. 1t carried 1873 to III being
