BILL FOR INCREASING
ARMY IS TAKEN UP
Congress Drops Everything
to Perfect Plans for

BY Bond p. Geddes

Washington, March l7-Congress,
dropping all other considerations, to.
day began actual work on army reor-
ganization. Senator Chamberlain re-
ported his army increase bill from com
mittee, and announced he was ready
to call it up for consideration Mon
day.
Chairman Hay of the house military
committee opened with speech bear
ing on the proposition of making the
regular army 10000 strong.
"On a question of this character" {"
he declared, call Americans should
stand together. "
Tremendous applause greeted this.
Hay called the bill "reasonable meas
ure" and said:
"It will meet opposl ion from those
who are opposed to any defensive legis-
lation, and from those who think ii
does not go far enough We have a
volunteer system in this country, and

not as elsewhere, in countries where
there is compulsory military service.
An army of 100000 men would mean

country would accept such a proposi
ton.p
Great applause at this point demon
strated that there was a strong anti
conscription sentiment. Continuing
Hay said:

die such an expense as that on this
