TO BUILD ARMY OUT
OF MEN IN THEIR-2O'S
Perfect Military Weapon Promised II
War Departments Plan Goes Through,

Perfect Military Weapon Promised if
War Departments Plan Goes Through,
Washington, April 4.-The scope Of the
war departments army plan is gradually
becoming clear. although the details arc
being withheld until they are sent to Con-
gress. Included in the scheme must be
the funds and equipment necessary to es-
tablish military training on basis never
before attempted in the United States.
There are many indications that It IS
proposed to build up a fighting machine
composed exclusively Of men in their
twenties and each man free from home
responsibilities or cares that might em-
barress his soldierly qualities. A perfect
military weapon is to be fashioned, ofi-
GERS say, If the army's plan is accepted
by Congress.
Presumably the oldest men within
the prescribed limits would be called
out first. These classes would yield
the smallest number for training. for
the percentage Of men to assume fam.
lily responsibilities goes up rapidly aft.
err twenty years is reached. They
would be. however. men in their most
vigorous years ready for any hard
ship. Each succeeding increment OF
100000 called out for training would
probably have reached the same stage
of physical development by the time
the training had been given. Physical
sstandards of the regular army will
be rigidly maintained.

BIG APPROPRIATION
BILLS ARE PASSED
Represent S440,000,000 Which
Was Held Up by Senate of
the 9th Congress.

Washington, April 4.-Four big appro-
priation bills which failed in the Senate
at tie last session were repassed in quick
succession to-day by the House, thus
clearing the way for the resolution which
will be brought up tomorrow morning at
ten o'clock.
The bills carried appropriations of more
than $44O,OO0.000. They were: Army. $780,
100000: sundry civil, s13s.241,O0O; general
deficiency s62.5S3,000. and military acad-
emy s1.349.0OO
No changes were made in the form of
any of the measures as they passed the
House at the last session. Numerous emer-
gency amendments will be added to them
in the Senate and the final bills will be
drafted in conference in the interest of
speed.
Many additional appropriation bills will
have to be passed during the session but
the size and form of any of them will not
be known until Congress has declared a
state of war existing and the executive
branch of the government has submitted
its plans for prosecuting hostilities. Ten
tative plans now being discussed are to
pass a special deficiency bill similar to
one carrying $5OC00,O0O which was passed
prior to the Spanish American War. to be
used in any emergency, which may arise
IN the various departments.
