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 corps Of cadet
officers from educational institutions
to have military training is expected
to furnish 5000 trained officers for use
in emergency.
The McKellar bill, providing federal
cooperation in military training in the
states, also was voted favorably re
ported. 1t proposed government aid
for one school in each state where q
minimum of 800 students will receive
military instruction.

SUBMARINE ISSUE
STILL UNSETTLED

Washington, Feb. 22.-State depart
ment officials said they considered
the submarine issue with Germany in
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. 20, 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 Lusitania agreement
gives all in that respect for which the
United States has contended, officials
do not feel that it clearly guarantees
against another such disaster. While
it refers at the outset to the assur.
ances that German submarines will
not sink unresisting 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 net be aban.
doned in the new campaign are high
ly desirable.

San Antonio. Teh.. Feb. 22.-The ex-

party of Southwest Texas disbanded
at a meeting here after adopting reso-

elaring that the Progressive party Is
being kept alive by few who have
been active as leaders. for the sole
purpose of using the name and claim
to control the vote for trading basis
at the Republican national convention
when 1t meets in Chicago next June.
In addition, the committee con-
demned the administration OF Cecil
A. Lyon as state chairman and nation
al committeeman.
Other resolutions attacked the ad-
ministration of President Wilson as
"weak, vacillating and un-American.'

The premier's speech was confined
entirely to the financial aspect OF the
present situation, no reference being
made to military affairs in general
One of the important debates of the
week In the house of lords will begin
when the question OF the so called
leakage In blockade arises on Baron
Sydenham's motion. which declares
that more effective use could be made
of the fleets of the allies to prevent
supplies from reaching the central
empires.
Philip Snowden, Socialist member
for Blackburn, will raise the question
of peace terms.
1t has previously been stated in
London dispatches that the $780,
100000 vote of credit is expected to
finance the war for only two months,
that is until the end of May. lnclud-
ing the $500, 100000 vote of credit for
the period till March 81 a total Of ST..
l00,0o0,000 will have been supplied
by votes of credit for the twelve
months of the financial year which
ends on that date. With the amount
voted in 1914, the votes OF credit since
the war began will thus reach $10.-
490,000,000. These figures, it may be
remarked. do not represent the total
cost Of the war, as large sums ~rrnish-
ed from revenue are also used to de-
fray the expenses.
