Resurrected Army Clause Permits Increasing State Guards From 5000 to 6OO,OOO Men;
 Senate to Discuss Army Legisloton Monday
May Raise Soldiers Pay.

Many requests for hearings have been received
 May Raise Soldiers Pay.
 After plea today by Senator Hughes to double the pay of enlist ed men. the committee decided to ask the war department for sugges- tions. recommendations and cost es- inmates regarding increasing the pay of the enlisted personnel from S15 a month O S2O S25 and s30. Virtually all changes in the national defense law suggested by the army general staff were accepted by the commit tee, including authority to increase the general staff to 92 members. to increase the number of machine gun companies in each army division from 10 to g and to increase the number of non-commissioned officers in each army unit. The war depart ment was asked also to submit sug- gestions regarding addition of arm ored motor car companies. like ma chine gun squads, to each unit.
 Help For Dependents.
 Separation" allowances for sol diers' dependents in time of war. rec commended by the general staff in lieu of the $50 monthly allowance giv- en b ycongress to dependents of na- tional guardsmen during the Mexican border service. were approved by the committee and included in the bill.
 These provide that during war de- pendents of enlisted men shaIl be paid Sl5 monthly. If soldiers were killed in action. from wounds or dis ease the dependents would receive an amount equal to their pay for six months. and if in 1yiati0n service. 2 years pay.
 Many Favor Drafting.
 The committee is divided on the selective draft proposal wi,h ma jority. however. understood to favor tne administration plan Chairman Chamberlain and others of the con- mittee feel little can be gained and much time wasted by holding public hearings. The arguments are so well defined on both sides of the issue that it is believed they can and will be adequately presented by senators on the committee. Many senators personally opposed to conscription are loathe to oppose the administra- tion plans.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-Asainst the judgment of military experts as to the wise course in the present was compelled to reverse previous ruling and announce that states have the right to organize new units of national guard. This permits expan- sion of the existing guard force of about 125.000 men to 100000 at peace strength or more than 600,000 on war footing.
 The department planned to draft into federal service only existing units of the guards plus such auxiliary troops as needed. Twenty states have asked to raise new regiments, however, and Secretary Baker order fense act to determine whether the acceptance of new units up to the limits set in the act was mandatory Judge Advocate General Crowder took this view and his ruling was approv- ed by the secretary.
 Fill Present Units First.
 An effort to prevent immediate or ganization of new regiments was made. however. The governors were asked to see that existing units were filled to peace strength before any new ones were raised. Shortage of equipment prevents the immediate ac- ceptance of new regiments. There are not enough supplies on hand to pro vide even for existing units at war strength.

 Secretary Baker made it plain the department would not recognize skel- eton organizations. If the state for ces were raised to full strength the

The British troops on the north ern portion of the Big Push, to- day captured lievin, the south west suburb of Lens and Cite St. .Piere,z just northwest of Lens, while on the southern portion they reached within 6O yards of St. Quentin.
 ADVANCE AT GREAT PACE
 The rapidity with which things are moving in Field Marshal Haig's territory is evidenced by the announcement that vimy ridge is already two or three miles behind the British front line. The Germans are expected still to put up most stubborn fight against the loss of St. ouen- tin and Lens but there will be Sunday respite for the British troops and the artillery may be counted on to make both cities we'll nigh untenable for the enemy.

 The total number of guns cap tured by the British is now esti- mated at more than POO, while large additions to the roll of pris- oners were chronicIed today.
