Washington, Jan. o6.-The admins
tration's determination to force &C.
ton as a part of its Pan American
policy on the treaties with Colombia
and Nicaragua. held up for more than
two years, awakened Democrats Of the
Senate foreign relations committee to-
day to fix next Wednesday ss the day
for a vote on the Colombian treaty
regardless of the result. An effort all
so will be made to get the Nicaraguan
pact to a vote.
Some senators today predicted that
both treaties would be recommended
for ratification, but both Democrats
and Republicans have doubts regard
ing their reception in the Senate. OPP

which proposes to pay Colombia $25,-
100000 for the separation of Panama.
with an expression of regret that any
thing should have happened to mar
the relations of the two countries is
based on various grounds. Many sena-
tors believe the s25,000,000 is an ex
cessive amount. Others are insistent
that no language should be used which
might be construed as an apology by
the United States. Still others object
to provision of the treaty which
would give war and coastwise mer-
chant ships of Colombia the right tc
PASS through the canal without pay
ment of tolls.
There has been even stronger OPP
position to the Nicaraguan treaty.
This proposes to pay 100000 for an
option on the Nicaraguan canal route
and for a naval base in Fonseca bay.
One of the complicating features is
an objection from the other Central

ESTIMATES ON
PLANT TO Make
U.S.. MUNITIONS

Washington, Jan. 26.-Estimates
were given the Senate military COM
mittee today by Brig. Gen. Crozier
chief of ordnance. showing that a
plant costing s4oo,oOo.OOO operated by
a force OF 100000 workmen would be
required to manufacture ammunition
and war materials necessary to keep
an army Of million men in the field
and equip an additional million re-
cruits.
General Crozier strongly disap-
proved any proposal for government
monopoly for the manufacture Of war
supplies. insisting that best results
could be accomplished by relying upon
private establishments to supplement
the output Of government plants in
time Of war.
The committee received today from
Secretary Garrison a draft Of a tenta-
tive measure suggested by Chairman
Chamberlain which would provide for
the authorization Of the proposed con-
tinental army in general terms only
leaving, the details Of the proposed
system to be worked out by War de-

clude No New Projects Is so Regarded - In
Harmony with Presidents Program Limits
Total to 100000

Washington, Jan. '26.-The rivers
and harbors committee voted today to
include no new projects in its forth
coming bill but to confine appropria-
tons solely to projects already au-
thorized, thus limiting the total to
approximately s44.000.000.
This action is regarded as formal

the committee and eliminated by to-
days decision totalled $122.935,697, for
which one initial appropriation "a, of
S17,622,399 had been asked. Advocates
Of many of these improvements are
expected to make a fight for them
when the committees report comes
before the House. No new improve
ments We're authorized last year, a
filibuster in the Senate having forced
a compromise under which no money
was appropriated except to continue
work on existing projects.
Among the proposals cut out by the
committees action are New York

He'll Gate s14230,000; Boston harbor

ENLARGEMENT OF
HOSPITAL FORCE

Washington, Jan. 26.-Material en-
largement Of the navy's hospital facil-
tiles was urged upon the House naval
committee as imperative by Surgeon
General BREASTED, who testified today
at a hearing on the naval appropria-

plans for a hospital ship to accom-
modate 800 patients, an appropriation
for which is asked in the pending navy
bill.
Surgeon General BREASTED said he
had recently searched the country in
vain for 100 ounces of quinine for the
American marines at Haiti, and that
when he sent abroad for the drug,
holders had wanted "a an ounce in
stead Of the usual 30 cents. Finally
he had to borrow the quinine from the
army.
