House Bill Includes
Militia in New Army

Washington, Feb. 21.-National pre-.
paredness legislation took long step
forward in congress when the house
military committee reached practical
agreement on the outlines of the army
bill it will unanimously present for
passage.
Chairman Hay was authorized to
frame the measure which is a COM
promise for the continental army plan
advocated by former Secretary Gar.
rison and President Wilson. Complete
liberalization of the national guard
will be substituted for the proposed
continental army and the White House
was Informed during the day that the
committee was a unit in supporting
the plans, only the language and
minor details remaining to be worked
out.
The measure will grant virtually the
entire program mapped out by Sec
rotary Garrison for the regular army
and go even farther than he recon-
mended in providing for reserve mill
tary supplies. A total peace strength
of $4,000 men in the standing army
and the guard combined will be pro-
vided for with the reserve systems
to more than double the force in war.
The expense for the whole estab-
lishment this year is roughly estimated
at $174,000,OO0 exclusive of Panama
canal defenses carried in another bill,
proposals for additional military
schools in all states carried in the Nc
Keller bill favorably reported today
by the committee with an appropria-
ton of $3,840,O00 for this purpose and
whatever may later be decided upon
in carrying out a scheme to foster
the fxation of Atmospheric nitrogen in
the United States, giving the country
it's only supply of ingredients for ex-
plosives.
The first year of the Garrison plan
would have called for a total expendi-
ture of $1S2,000,OOO. Whether the new
bill will be acceptable to President
Wilson has not been indicated but the
committee believes it's plans will over
ride every objection to the substitu-
ton Of the national guard for the con-
tinental army and that congress has
full legal authority for it's accomplish
ment.
To complete the committees COM
promise with President Wilson on the
continental army the bill will author
ize the increase of the regular army to
a total peace strength of $4,000 by
adding ten regiments of infantry, four
regiments Of coast artillery, Is com.
panies of engineers and four air squad
rons.
This is the exact regular army pro-
gram mapped out by former Secretary
Garrison before the unfavorable re-.
ception of the continental army
scheme led to his resignation. Under
the tentative bill the regular army
would have an organization capable of
being extended to 275,OO0 men in war
times and a reserve provision will be
included designed to produce annually
$4,000 reservists obligated to return
to the colors under calls.

President Tells Congress Why
This Nation Recognized Mexico

Washington, Feb. 17.-President
Wilson sent to the senate today his
response to the Fall resolution adopt
ed last month requesting him to report
on facts leading up to the recongni.
ton by the United States of the de
facto government Of Mexico headed
by General Carranza.
It was in the form Of long letter
from Secretary of State Lansing sum-
marizing the events which preceded
recognition and transmitting a great
volume of data, including list OF all
Americans killed in Mexico and along
the border during the past six years.
The president declined to comply
with that part of the Fall resolution
asking for diplomatic and consular re-
ports on political conditions and
events in Mexico.
The senate was informed that it was
not compatible with public interest to
furnish this correspondence inasmuch
as it was of purely confidential
nature, and "submitted to consular Off.
GERS of other governments, which had
graciously consented that their Off
GERS might supply this government
with information during the necessary
absence of American representatives
and other persons residing in Mexi-
CO."
AS to the ability of Carranza to full
fiji his promise to protect foreign lives
and property, Mr.. Lansing said that
under the circumstances the de facto
government at the time of recognition,
controlling more than rs per cent Of
Mexican territory, was affording "rea-
sonably adequate protection to lives
and property of Mexican citizens"
The data disclosed that rs Ameri-
cans were killed in Mexico in the
. years 1913-14-15 as compared with At
in the three years preceding, and that
20 civilian Americans and 16 soldiers
were killed on American soil in the
last three years as result of Mex
lean trouble.
When the report was received SEN
ator Stone, chairman of the foreign
relations committee, moved that it lie
on the table and be printed as pub
lie document. He made no comment
on it's contents. Senator Fall ex-
pressed himself as disappointed be-
cause the president had not included
the confidential correspondence.
The response to the resolution is ex-
pected to stir up new discussion Of
the situation in the senate and to
bring a vote quickly on the nomina-
ton of Henry Prather Fletcher as am.
bassador to Mexico. Senator Fall in
troduced his resolution when the
nomination was sent in.
Republican members Of the foreign
relations committee held that the
senate should not consent to sending
an ambassador to Mexico until it was
Informed as to the character of the
government to which he was to be
accredited.
In view of the report it is probable
that the foreign relations committee
will pass on Mr.. Fletcher's nomination
next Wednesday.

Losing Record
Of Louisville
Still Stands
Not Even Connie Mack Can Tie
Losing Streak of
Colonies.

There is one baseball record that no
club is anxious to overturn, and which
everybody concerned will be glad to LEI
stand until the end Of time. That is
the record Of consecutive defeats hung
up in 1889 by the Louisville club OF the
old major league American Association.
The string was finally broken by :
TO 3 victory over the St. Louis team,
which put an end to the worst losing
streak the game has ever known. Up
to the time of the victory over St.
Louis the Colonels had lost twentysiX
games in row, and the few wavering
supporters of the club were on the
verge of abandoning all hope that the
team would ever win a game.
The dubious feat Of the Louisville
club remains, and may always rema' J.,
the major league record. Only Oh
has IL been equRlled in a minor league.
and il has never been surpassed IN any
professional circuit. In 1918 the Meri-
dian (Miss.) club Of the Cotton States
League was kicked for twenty-siX con-
secutive wallops, and had the worlds
record in sight when the team fell dow.
and won a game.
The record losing streak Of the Ma
tional League was pulled of in 1890, the
wear Of the Brotherhood war, when the
Pittsburgh club dropped twenty-three
games in a row. The whole bunch OF
Smoky City players went over 10 the
PLAYERS League and Guy Hecker, the
new manager, had to build practically
q new team, getting his material where
he could The outlook seemed nope
less, and the club was always on the
verge of bankruptcy, but the impertur-
bable and picturesque j. Palmer O'NeIl
managed to keep it af1oat and retain
the franchise for the Smoky City. After
the long losing streak the fans de-
serted the sinking ship and gave thelr
support to the Players League team,
which included most of the old PITTS
burgh favOrites.
Games were transferred 10 other
cities and even to neighbour & towns IN
PENNSYLVANIA and Ohio and West Nlr-
ginia. The club also set up another
record that year by losing three games
in day. During the season PITTSBURGH
had fifty players on its roll at one tiihe
or another, ten Of them beng pltcherS'
