ARMY INCREASE BILL WILL COME TO VOTE
 IN THE HOUSE TODAY
(Continued from Page one)

reversed itself and put through similar amendment by Representative Gardner. republican of Massachusetts, over Repre- sentative Hays opposition. The Senate bill contains such a provision.
 The most important amendment was the insertion of the reserve officers training scheme proposed by Representative Gard of Ohio, democrat, which already has been included in the Senate bill. It pro- vides that military instructors be supplied
 by the war department to any civil edu- cational institution with an available stu
 dent body of 100 or more and where a
 military course satisfactory to the war
 department is established. A sufficient
 number of graduates would be desig-
 mated for six months additional training
 with the regular army to mairtas- a
 corps of 5000 reserve officers. The pro- vision was approved by the Association of Military colleges and schools.
 OVER HEAD OF CONGRESS Another amendment accepted, offered 1 by Representative Kahn, would permit the President to order out the regular
 army service without going to Congress for authority. The contemplated strength of the reserve is 6O,O00 and as the bill now stands the President could increase the regular army from it's peace strength of 10000 to strenghth of 235,OO0 by ex- ecutive order if war seemed imminent. The last amendment adopted was of-
 fered by Representative Tilson, republi-
 can, of Connecticut a member of the
 committee It would authorize the war department to have constructed all the
 tools and fixtures necessary to convert
 private intuition plants for the manurac-
 ture of army rifles. cannon and ammuni- tion. The fixtures would be stored by the government in peace times, but could be fitted to the machines of commercial plants in a few days. mobilizing the whole war machinery industry of the country behind the fighting lines. De- tails of the plan will be worked out in the army appropriation bill to be con however, that the fixtures alone would cost $15,O00,0O0 or more.
 When adjournment came the House had taken up the sections of the bill dealing with liberalization of the Na- | tional Guard. Half a dozen members were on their feet with amendments 1 wien Representative Hay. who had been pressing the bill along vigorously, de- Cided 1t would be impossible to complete any important features of the federaliza- l tion plan without several hours of de
 bate and moved adjournment.

In the course of years such people become loaded up

diminishing value o others.
