Mann Asserts Hay
Army Measure to Be
Inadequate to Needs

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The house
military bill is President Wilson's own
bill, Chairman Hay of the military COM
mittee informed the house today. when
debate on the measure was resumed
under the ten-hour rule.
Il may say" he said in reply to
question, ''in broad language that this is
the presidents bill; that he thoroughly
approves of it."
Chairman Hay said the bill carries
out the recommendations of the presi-
dents message and goes little farther.
He added that while the bill did not con-
tain the continental army provision the
president was satisfied the proposed fed
eralization of the National Guard would
accomplish the same purpose.
--s'Then, ,Y-satd- -Representative Moore, re-
publican, OF Pennsylvania, gentlemen
voting for this bill will be voting for the
presidents convictions?'
They will" Mr.. Hay responded.
Representative Mann. minority leader,
attacked the bill as being inadequate to
meet the demands of the present time.
He said:
1--WE are having a little trouble on the
border of Mexico and are sending n few
soldiers into that country The time for
this came after we had had troops on
the border for four years in contempla-
ton Of that very thing. Yet when this
trouble occurred these troops were not
actually sent across the border until the
house had passed a resolution ordering
an increase of 5000 men to take the
places of the few soldiers who might
cross.
Never was there a more pat illustra-
ton than that of the fact that the
present army and the proposed increase
in 1t, while sufficient in times of actual
peace, would not be sufficient in time of
war or when any occasion arises for even
a miniature war. and today we have
the greatest war of the ages going on"
Representative Mann said the United
States must take a prominent place in
defending its own rights and those OF
smaller neutrals and in upholding inter-
national law
"I believe" said that it is the
duty of the United States to prepare now
an army which will add to the weight OF
the suggestions we make"
"The time has come when It is wise
for us 70 consider the possibility and even
the probability of the future and prepare
now for what may come to us. If we
do not prepare now we may regret it to
the end of our lives"
Representative Kahn, ranking minority
member of the military committee, said
war came suddenly i'm modern times, and
wisdom and patriotism demanded a rea-
sonable measure OF preparedness for war.
With adequate preparation in peace
times, he said thousands Of lives might
have been saved in the country's wars.
Great Britain was compelled finally TO
adopt conscription," he said. II believe
that II ever we become involved i'm any
great war 1t will become necessary to
resort to the draft"

introduced the following measure i'm the
Reichstag:
Considering that Great Britain not
only makes war on the armed forces Of
Germany. but has taken measures In or
der TO impede the providing OF Germany
with food supplies and raw material. so
as 10 compel Germany TO submit through
hunger, for which purpose Great Britain
brutally violates international law and
employs force against neutral countries;
considering further that Germany IL able
through unlimited and unrestraincd sub
marine warfare to increase the British
lack Of tonnage so that Il can be made
extraordinarily difficult and perhaps i'm
possible for the British nation to obtain
sufficient supplies of food and raw ma
teriais, considering that such warfare
would bring more speedily victorious
end of the war, the imperial chancellor
Ia required to enter into no arrangements
with other countries which would hinder
us in the unlimited use OF the submarine
weapon and TO permit in the war Eone
against the enemys traders. with the
exception OF passenger ships. such use OF
submarines as arises from the peculiar
ity OF said weapons"
Similar bills were brought forward by
