NEW VOTE ON ARMY SCHEME
Volunteer Provision Attacked as TAX
ing Money Needed for Navy
Building.

Washington, D. C.-National guard
supporters in the senate have decided
to force another vote on the federal
volunteer army plan adopted several
days ago.
The volunteer army plan was ac-
cepted by the narrow margin of two
votes. The argument that the 100000
600 annual expenditure on the fed
eral volunteer army could be better
spent on the naval building program
Is counted on to the influence sentiment
when the motion to strike out the
plan again is presented.
The senate put on more speed to
bring the Chamberlain bill to a vote.
No senator is permitted to speak more
than once or longer than ten minutes
on any amendment.

the answer was, Gross" and to the
second was an enthusiastic, heavily
written and boldly underlined

you hurt?" the answer was, Il was
