ARMY MEASURE WINS
SENATE UNANIMOUSLY APP
PROVES RECRUITING BILL.
War Department Takes Immediate
Steps for the EnIisting Of 10000
Additional Men.

Washington, March 1.-THE senate
approved unanimously the joint reso-
luton adopted by the house to bring
the mobile army up to its full
strength, which would add about TO-
900 men to the present establishment
The resolution now goes to the presi-
dent for his approval.
Sixty-nine senators were in the
chamber and all voted for the reso-
luton. When the vote was announced
Senator McCumber declared it served
as notice to the world that the ma
tion and this congress stand as a
single man in defense of American
rights"
AS soon as the senate assembled
Chairman Chamberlain of the military
committee asked unanimous consent
for consideration of the house resolu-
tion.
Senator Gronna, Republican, at
first objected, but withdrew his op-
position, while Senator Hoke Smith
offered an amendment to stipulate
that new enlistments should not be
for more than two years. He agreed,
however, not to press his proposal.
Senator Vardaman, Democrat, urged
immediate action for the moral sup
port it would give to the campaign
against Villa, but a vote was delayed
while Senator Newlands, Democrat,
spoke on preparedness and urged his
proposal for a Joint congressional
co lmittee to coordinate defense leg
islation. Unanimous approval of the
house resolution then followed.
When word that the senate had
adopted the army resolution reached
the war department the adjutant gen
erals Office took steps to begin re-
cruiting the additional men immedi-
ately. Instructions were prepared for
recruiting officers throughout the Uni
ted States to conduct an active cam
paign.

Washington, March 16.-The house
by vote of 236 to / on Tuesday

Meyer London, Socialist of New
York, was the only one to vote against

Hay of the house military affairs COM
mittee agreed that immediate action
was necessary.
The army now has $1,000 men. Its
full strength is limited to 100000. The
resolution which Hay put before the
house authorizes the secretary of war
to take steps to raise 10000 more men
at once. 1t is understood that Presi-
dent Wilson sanctioned the plan.
Following is the resolution provid-
ing the increase:
Resolved, by the senate and house
of representatives in congress assem-
bled, that when in the judgment of the
president an emergency arises which
makes 1t necessary, all organizations
of the army which are now below the
maximum strength authorized by law
shall be raised forthwith to that
strength and shall be maintained as
nearly as possible thereat as long as
the emergency shall continue; provid-
ed, that the total enlisted strength of
any of the said arms of the service
shall not include unassigned recruits
at depots or elsewhere, but at no time
shall said recruits exceed by more
than five per centum the total enlisted
strength prescribed for such arm; and
the enlisted men now or hereafter au-
thorized by law for any other branches
of the military service shall be provid-
ed and maintained without any i'm
pairment of the enlisted strength pre-
scribed for any of said arms"
Secretary Baker said the bill would
allow for the present about 10000
more infantrymen, LOO field artillery
men and 1900 cavalrymen.
