he Order OF Day In House.

Washington, March 1e.--without a
dissenting voice. the House today
slde-tfacked all routine business and
cleared the way for preparedness leg.s-
lation Waving q formal vote, the
House adopted a special rule which
will force day and night work until
the t3by 5in. reorgeniz.ng the regular
army, has been acted upon. The spe-
cial rule was put through just be-
fore adjournment tonight, and tnS
House will begin work on the Hay bill
tomorrow. The adoption OF the rule
liz in accord with the plans OF Dem
ocratic House leaders who plan to put
. the land defense end Of the admin
istration preparedness bill through
the House by the end Of next week.
| The Hay bill, reported unanimously
by the House Military Affairs Com
mittee. represents the views OF the
administration on military prepared
ness as presented to Congress by
President Wilson shortly after the
present session of Congress began.
Only the Continental army scheme Is
eliminated from the early adminis,ra-
ton plan. and the President has
agreed to that change.
Opposition Silemced.
The Willingness of the House to pro-
coed at once with preparedness legis-
lation was generally accepted as the
result of recent Mexican developments.
The expedition against villa has
silenced the opposition to increased
national defense to a large extent, and
has cleared the way for the admins
tration measures.
The Hay bill, as 1t will come before
the House, provides for increasing the
regular army to 10000 men at peace
strength. 1t would federalize the
State militia, making 1t the second
line OF land defense and would pro-
vide large reserve out OF the regular
army and the militia, enlistinE In the
reserve oil men who have served In
either branch of the military estA blfsh-
ment. The bill would give the War
Department close control over the
militia organizations. 1t would pro-
vide additional officers for use In train
ing the militia. conducting Civilian
| training camps and instructing stu
dents In miller y educational institu-
lions throughput the country.
Ready to- Vote for Larger Army.
In the House an effort will be made
to increase the regular army over the
figures agreed upon by the commit
tee. Many Republicans will vote for
a regular army of 400, 900, and a
group OF big army Democrats will join
with them
The Military Affairs Committee to-
day voted unanimously to recommend
to the House for favorable action the
resolution recently passed by the sen
ate providing for an investigation of
the aviation service OF the army. An
effort will be made to secure early
action on the resolution in the House.

There is not thing in the world
strange in the fact that Senator
James P. Clarke of Arkansas voted
against President Wilson and his
fellow democratic senators on the
eight-hour law, which law averted a
strike that would have brought
disaster to the whole country. That
is exactly in keeping with Senator
Clarke's cold-blooded policy Of sup

the sort Of vote that could be reas-

 These towns prefer to remain dry themselves, but they do not insist that other towns with entirely different local conditions shall remain dry. They are willing to let each town make it's own police regulations.
