175,ooo ARMY BILL PASSED
Measure Provides For More Than
100000 REGULARS.

Washington.-The House adopted
Reorganization bill. This action con.
stituted the final legislative step be,
fore the measure was sent to the
President, the Senate having previous
ly adopted the report. The vote in
the House was 349 to 25. Eighteen
Republicans, five Democrats, one Pro-
gressive, and one Socialist voted
against adoption of the conference re-
port. Republican Leader Mann was
one OF those voting in the negative.
The bill provides for a regular army
with a peace strength of more than
200, 900 men backed by a Federalized
National Guard of more than 400, 600
and carries many reorganization feat
ures worked out by War Department
officials to make the nations fighting
arm more efficient. To complete the
main elements of the program of pre-
~paredness on which the Administra-
ton plans to spend more than S 1,000,-
600, 900 within the next five years,
Congress still has to perfect and pass
the Naval bill, embodying the navy
increases, and the Fertilization bill,
which includes provision for most of
the equipment for the increased army.
AS construed by Chairman Cham
berlain of the Senate Military Com
mittee it provides for a regular estab-
lishment of 211,000 at peace strength
I'M $4,000 at war strength, with a
National Guard strength of Asst, 900.
The peace strength of the regulars un-
der an Interpretation given to the
House by Mr.. Hay would be 206, 900.

PROSPERITY IS REAL
Conditions in United States Are
Not Due to the War.
Export Of Agricultural and Manufac-
tured Products for Twenty Months
Prove This-Statistics That
Battle Republican Orators.

Uncle Sam would be on easy street
financially and business would be
booming even if there had not been
the stimulus to trade arising out of
the war in Europe" said Fred B.
Lynch of Minnesota, in an interview.
Figures show" continued Mr..
Lynch, that within the last 20 months
we have exported $4,000, 100000 of
agricultural and manufactured prod
ucts, while in the same time the value
OF war munitions exports make a to-
tai of only $340, 000, 900. These. in
deed, are startling figures, but we
could cut out the value of the exporta-
tons for the warning countries of Eu-
rope and have still a tremendous to-
tai coming solely from the nations in
dustry and natural wealth. OF course
our Republican friends are quick to
say that all this prosperity is due to
the extraordinary conditions in Eu-
rope, but they are appealing to the
credulity of the people and will, l
think, make very little Roadway with
those who take the pains to make a
careful investigation.
For a long while the American peo-
pie were told that they could not have
prosperity under Democratic rule. A
lot Of Republican orators made that
statement so often that no doubt they
got to believing it themselves. In
the face Of the cold statistics of to-
day the Democrats can get back at
them very neatly, for it is a condition
OF prosperity and not a theory that
To- stands revealed where even the
dullest man a see it for himself"

Truths About the Navy.

We know now when the decay of the
American navy set in under the
maleficent influence of Secretary Dan
iels and the Democratic administra-
ton as a whole. The report of the
general board of the navy, dealing
with u fall from second rank among
the fleets of the world, gives exact
data. On the basis of displacement
OF ships built and building, the
United States dropped behind Ger
many in 1909. On the basis of dis
placement of ships in commission we
fell behind in 1911. For part of 1909
Mr.. Roosevelt was president. In 1911
Mr.. Taft vas president. Since it is
inconceivable that Mr.. Roosevelt
should have been responsible for the
criminal neglect of our navy, it must
be assumed that the loss of second
place in 1909 occurred after March 4
of that year. But, on the other hand
a fleet does not go to pieces in a
day. There are such things as naval
programs which must be drafted years
In advance. If, therefore, in 1909 our
navy had to make way for Germany's.
1t must be that, for several years be-
fore that, there was no. that wise pro-
vision of our national needs and du-
ties for which responsibility rests on
