es of congress were today busy in
framing up measures to increase the
size of the American aymy and to
provide otherwise for the national
defense. In the house the Hay bill
was under consideration. Congress-

that this bill had the endorsement of
OF the administration Congressman
James r. Mann of Illinois declared
that the. measure was entirely made
auate. He said what that bill pro-
yided would do well enough in time
of peace, but in time of war it would
be utterly inadequate. In the senate
the Chamberlain bill, which is alto
|gether different from the Hay bill,
was under consideration, and it was
claimed that that measure, too, had
the backing of President Wilson.
Washington, March 18.-The Cham
berlain bill, as favorably reported by
the senate committee on military af
fairs today, increases the national
army to 100000 men. Senator Cham
berlain asked to have his bill made

of Montana consented that his water
power bill be set aside to make room
for, the Chamberlain measure.
Washington, March 1S.-It is eX-
pected that the increase of the stand :
ing army by 10000 men, as just pro-
vided by congress, will be very speed
lily effected.
