WASHINGTON, February 1O.-Re-

mittce assured President Wilson to-
day that strong army increase bill,
drafted in "a nonpartisan spirit and ac-
complshinE all the main objects sought
by the War Department plan, would

Headed by Representatives Kahn, OF
California, ranking minority member
OF the committee. the Republicans
called n the White House at the Prcsi-
dents invitation, following Chairman
Hay ana several others OF his Demo-

same message 10 the chief executive

was on the question of tho continental
