PRESIDENT URGES ACTION
Representatives Pass Resolution ey

Means Committee To
Name Personnel.

WASHINGTON. - Creation OF COM
mittee On woman suffrage was ordei-
ed by the House by vote OF lSl 10
107.
The Ways and Means Committee
will name the personnel of the new
committee, which will assume charge
of all suffrage bills now handled Dv
the strongly anti-suffrage Judiciary
Committee. Either Representative
Raker, of California, or Representa-
i've Taylor, of Colorado, probably Will
be made chairman. Miss Rankin, OF
Montana. has been suggested, but as
she is a Republican, she is not likely
to be named.
Creation of the committee for which
the suffragists long have contended,
assures an early fight on the Susan
B. Anthony suffrage amendment at
the next session of Congress. Both
suffragists and anti-suffragists say
they are anxious that the bill be re-
ported, as they are confident of vic
tory on the floor.
The antis, headed by Chairman
Webb, of the Judiciary Committee,
made a hard fight against the resolu-
ton. They maintained that its adop-
ton would be taken as an Endorsement
of White House picketing, and that it
was unnecessary, inasmuch as the
Judiciary Committee planned to report
the amendment resolution early in the
next session.
Miss Rankin and Representative
Pou, chairman of the Rules Commit
tee. who reported the resolution, made
the principal speeches for it. Mr.. Pou
declared that President Wilson had
written him urging the naming of the
committee, and when Mr.. Webb said
he did not think the President ever
had made such statement, Mr.. Pou
produced the letter. 1t was not read.
The Senate Suffrage Committee,
which is inactive, has been organized
several years.
While the House was voting four of
the Woman's party so-called pickets
were arrested for displaying banners
before the White House.
They were released on bond to ap-
pear later.

vyosbinrton-As soon as the new
81 oOO OOO. 900 Deficiency Appropria-
ton bill is passed in the Senate the
Administration means to lnauSura'e
new war program more far-reachlnS
in its scope than even the war-maK-
ine denartments of the Government
dreamed of six months ago.
Definite plans have been worked
out for projects of enormous magm-
tude. Suggestions of them have peen
given out from time to time, but the
information submitted to the two ap-
propriations committees of Congress
in support of the new deficiency esu-
mates show that the purposes OF the
Government have only been partially
disclosed.
Some Of The Plans.
Here are some of the more sweep
ing measures which the United States
proposes to take during the current
year:
l. Raising, equipping and training
them destined for foreign service.
2. Expenditure of s2,0OO,OOO for ord
nance, including perhaps 1000 bat
teries of field pieces and millions up
on millions of high explosive shells.
8. Expenditure of nearly quarter
of a billion for a new fleet of torpedo
boat destroyers with which to combat
enemy submarines.
4. An aggregate expenditure of
nearly two billions for a merchant
feet which, when completed, will give
this country commercial command of
the seas.
S. An expenditure of approximately
81 900 100000 for the supply, trans
portation and training Of the new
armies.
G. An ultimate increase in the naval
personnel from 10000 to 100000 or
more, and a corresponding increase in
the enlisted force of the marines.
Many Subsidiary Projects.
These are the bigger projects. They
which are necessary for the support
of such a program. They do not in
clude for instance, the erection OF
string of base and reconstruction hos
pitals along the Atlantic coast; the
creation of exbarkation cantonments
at certain ports; the organization of
a great body of merchant marine sea-
men who are to man the new ships;
the location of an artillery proving
ground capable of testing 5000 shells
a day and various smaller but i'm
portant projects of that sort.
1t may be stated that, with the ex-
ception of the Shipping Board appro-
priation and the increase of the new
army every plan indicated above is
in addition to those now under way.
In some instances, this program is
only an extension of that originally
adopted, but in all cases, it comtem-
plates new activities on the part of
this Government
