Action Delayed by SQuab-

Washington, Jan. 1S.-Presdent
Wilson Is planning to assume personal
leadership in the fight for a stronger
army and navy. SO many reports have
reached him of confusion over the is
sue before congress and of the uncer-
tainty of the outcome that he has de-
termined not only to go before the
country in public addresses but to
confer further on the subject with
leaders OF the senate and house.
Representative Hay and Represent
ative Padgett chairmen of the house
military and naval committees, re
spectively, have informed Mr.. Wilson
that ii will be from six weeks to two
months before the committees will be
ready to report any army and navy
appropriation bills. While this work
is going on he proposes to do his ut
most 10 solldity sentiment among the
people and members of congress in fs-
vor of plans drawn up by the war and
navy departments.
Undeterred by Bryan.
Friends of the president represent
him as being undeterred by the open
opposition of former Secretary Bryan,
and other pacifists, and by differences
among advocates of national defense
over the exact plans to be adopted
He is said to be firmly of the opinion
that the program, prepared BY Secre-
taries Garrison and Daniels is the best
which can be offered at this time.
Plans for the speaking trips will be
prepared as quickly as possible, If
necessary the president may change
the White House social program
mapped out before Christmas.

motion today towards the formulation
OF the bills which finally will be
drawn and brought to a vote as re-
suit of the administration program

fishing definite military policy for

be allowed wide discretion in the or

said, was . task to be accomplished
only in the light of experience.
Power for the President.
Senator Chamberlain. chairman of
the committee, with the reservation
that he foresaw many obstacles
to the continental army scheme and
had not committed himself to it, sue-
gestcd that it should be submitted
in the form of general authority
conferred upon the president, the
work of organization to be carried
out under rules and regulations laid
down By the war department. Sec
retary Garrison agreed to do this.
Questioned about II suggestion
made before the committee by Miss
Jane Adams that n commission be
appointed to determine If the best
possible results were being obtained
from present expenditures on the ar
my. Mr.. Garrison said he could find
no evidence of extravaganza in the
existing system.
Highly Polished Diamond.
Describing the regular army as a
"highly polished, costly diamond
the secretary said army machinery
would operate for o much larger
force at a greatly reduced per capita
cost
Mr.. Garrison expressed strong op-
position to payment of national
guardsmen by the federal government.
THE one thing that has prevented
the working out. heretofore. of an
adequate military policy" he said,
"has been the attitude OF the state
troops. II you put them on the fed
eral pay roll, we win never get SEN
sible military policy"
General Scriven, before the house
committee, placed the producing ca
pacity of American aeroplane facto-
ries at twenty complete machines a
