Whether the bill will be acceptable
| to President Wilson has not been in
dictated. but the committee believes its
plan will override every objection 70
the substitution of the National Guard
for the continenta!s and that Congress
has legal authority for its accomplish
ment. To complete the compromise
with President Wilson on the CONT
mental army the bill will authorize the
increase of the regular army to to-
tai peace strength of $4,000 by adding
10 regiments of infantry, four reg! :
ments of field artillery. so companies
of coast artillery, Is companies OF en-
gineers and four aero squadrors. Ih1s
is the exact regular army program
mapped out by Former Secretary Car
rison before the unfavorable reception
OF the continental army scheme LED 10
his resignation. 1t represents also a
concession by Chairman Hay. who
previously urged reaching the same
total strength by recruiting present
regiments up to full war strength and
adding to the field artillery arm.
Under the tentative bill the regular
army would have an organization
capable Of being expanded to 275.0oo
men in war time and provision would
be designed to produce annually '5,ooo
reservists, obligated to return to the
colors under call. It will provide also
for doubling the cadet corps at West
Point and creation OF 80 cadet COM
panies to be attached to the regular
regiments to be trained for entry into
an officers reserve corps.
Consideration Wednesday
The bill will be taken up for de-
tailed consideration next Wednesday.
While the House committee was busy
with this plan the Senate military COM
mittee was working on its proposals
for the regular army, framing its
measure ON the basis Of the Chamber
lain bill, which provides for an army
of approximately 100000 men on the
basis Of the war college plan Of 1912.
It is understood the committee plans to
make its bill authorize a thorough re-
Of the army with a peace
strength Of from 100000 to 100000.
A compromise between the bills Of
the two houses will be the decision of
Congress as to the regular army. It
is understood that the House commit
tee will accept the larger regular army
palm Of the Senate providing its scheme
for federalizing the national guard is
upheld by the upper house.
The measure will undertake the task
Of liberalization on the unanimous
agreement of the committee that Con-
gress has power to take charge Of the
full national guard in peace and as
well as in war times. Under the agree
