COMMITTEE AGREES
ON INCREASED ARMY

Washington, Feb. pa new army
reorganization bill, federalizing the
national guard increasing the regular
army TO $4,000 men, doubling the
field artillery, increasing the engineer
corps by fifteen companies, creating
four squadrons Of aircraft and an en-
tirely new corps of cadets from col
leges having military training, was
agreed on tentatively by the house
military committee.
The national guard provisions will
be one of the most notable features
The committee agreed congress has
the constitutional right to take over
the national guard by legislative en-
actment and appropriation.
The provision for a corps of cadet
officers from educational institutions
TO have military training is expected
to furnish 1900 trained officers for use
in emergency.
The Mcclellan bill, providing federal
cooperation i'm military training in the
states. also was voted fayorably re-
ported. II proposed government aid
for one school in each state where a

SUBMARINE ISSUE
STILL UNSETTLED

Washington, Feb. 22.-State depart
ment officials said they considered
the submarine issue with Germany in
a grave state because the Lusitania
agreement in the light of newly an
nounced submarine policy of the Ger
manic powers contains no assurances
for the future.
The situation created by the an
nounced intention of sinking armed
merchant ships without warning after
Feb 90 officials said, is still in the
abstract, and is being exercised as
such. But the Lusitania agreement
itself, as it stands, they explained,
merely treats of the past.
Although the Lustania agreement
gives all in that respect for which the
United States has contended, officials
do not feel that ii clearly guarantees
against another such disaster While
it refers at the outset to the assur-
ances that German submarines will
not sink unresstng liners, it does not
reiterate them.
Secretary Lansing already has told
Count Won Bernstorff, the German am.
bassador, that assurances that the
previous declarations will not be aban-
doned in the new campaign are high
ly desirable.

TO KILL CHILD LABOR BILL
Object of Southern Cotton Mill Men,
Saws Congressman keatinq.

Washington, Feb. 22.-Charging that
Southern cotton mill interests are con-
spring to kill the child labor bill,
Representative Keating of Colorado,
its author, issued a warning to the
public and an appeal to write your
congressman"
THE plan of the selfish interests is
to stave off action on the bill in the
senate until it will be sidetracked by
the preparedness program and put
over at least until next term,' said
Representative Keating "The peo-
pie should know Just what this con-
spiracy is They should write their
congressman and senators. Senator
Robinson of Arkansas, who is in
change of the bill in the senate, is
friendly to the measure"

New Orleans, Feb. 22.-With four
steamers and numerous fiat boats en-
gagged in rescue work reports from the
district flooded by the Mississippi
levee break at Buck Ridge are more
optimistic.
Two steamers loaded with refugees
reached Natchez from the neighbor-
hood Of Newellton.
Two other steamers were working
between Natchez and the Buck Ridge
crevasse, where flood victims are suf
fering most from exposure and lack of
food.

ber of parties with supplies have gone

The Mississippi river is mingling with
the Red river a short distance below

or will force it much higher With
the exception of the Buck Ridge crev
asse the Mississippi river levees
