TO put the question of actual prepared
ness squarely before Congress.
IT was stated tonight following ad-
journment OF the committee, that $780,
100000. and perhaps more, will bo
added to the House army appropriation
bill. which carried sIs2,0o0,o0o.
The House allowed s4,5oo,30o for
small-arms ammunition; the Senate
committee has increased It to s12.T76,-
600. For small-arms and machine gun
target practice the Senate committee
increased the appropriation from ST.
100000 TO s3,ia4.00. The House appro-
priation was 100000 for ordnance
stores and supplies. including horses
for the cavalry, and the Senate COM
mittee increased it to sl1.000,0o0
Another big increase was made in
the paragraph providing for automatic
machine guns. For this fighting ma
chine the House appropriated $4,000. 600
The Senate committee increased this to
s6.5S6l5l. For armored motor cars,
etc. the House allowed 100000. The
Senate committee increased this Sl,145,-

said. properly equipped and armed when
