BIGGER ARMY
MEASURE NOW
Up TO SENATE
Strong Sentiment in Upper
House Forecasts Some In
sreases In Hay Bill

The Hay srmy reorganization
bill, providing a standing army OF
100000 men, went over to the
Senate today following its pass
age by the House last night.
The Senate has a bill Of its own,
which provides an army Of $4,000
men, and the fact that the House
cast a large vote in favor Of the
Khan amendment, proposing still
larger fighting force, gave promise
today that when the two bills get
into conference there will be a
compromise on the issue relating
to the size of Uncle Sans regu-
lar army.
Prolonged discussion, however,
is ahead in the Senate over the
military question. Senators feel
that a broad and comprehensive
law ought to be worked out to at
ford the basis for greater land pre-
paredness.
SENATE TO DIFFER.
The Senate bill Is certain to differ
widely from the House bill. ana Will
provide for a larger regular army
Among the problems for the Senate
to consider are vocational education for
the soldiers, which Is being urged by
Senator Hoke Smith in an amendment;
the short-term enlistment; the mobili-
zation Of Industries In event of war;
and the Government manufacture OF
war material.
How to build UP reserves. what to do
to make the national guard most ef-
Federal volunteers are other important
propositions to be discussed.
The Hay bill was passed by a vote OF
zoe to 2. Congressman Britten OF I'LL
nois,. Republican. and Congressman
London Of New York, a Socialist. cast
the two opposing votes. Mr.. Britten
does not regard the Hay bill as afford
ing real preparedness, and explained
that he believed II useless to pass a
bill providing an army Of only 10000
msn.
Congressman Kahn's Amendment for
an army of 10000 strong was defeated
on a roll call vote Of 213 to 19l, q ma
jorfty OF only 20. The big army"
strength In the House was a surprise to
many members, In all. thirty-four Re-
publicsns voted against the big army
amendment and thirty-three Democrats
voted for 1t.
~ Votes on Amendments.
Several record votes on amendments
were had before the House passed the
bill. and the lower body was engaged in
calling the roll from 1 until after 8
o'clock. The attendance was unusually
The Military Affairs Committee met
two defeats before its bill was finally
passed. By vote of 2O to 1888 the
House adopted the amendment offered
by Congressman Augustus +. Gardner
Of Massachusetts, making possible a
short-term enlistment.
This amendment provides that after
one years active service an enlisted
man may be turned into the reserve OF
manding officer attests to the fact that
he is a proficient soldier. The en-
listed man going into the reserve after
one year OF active service would be sub
jet to call for six years.
Under the plan originally proposed in
the Hay bill every enlisted man would
have served three years with the colors
and four years In the reserve. The
Gardner amendment was informally
adopted during debate. and Mr.. Hay
asked a record vote. only to have the
committee provision again rejected for
the short term enlistment idea.

to take the matter up with the Board
