Take Part in Competi-
tive Drill.
PRIZE AWARD TOMORROW

Led by Company C Of Mckinley
Of the drill last year, six companies of
the Washington High School Cadet
Corps this morning ushered in the
thirty-first annual competitive drill
at American League Park. The drill
started on time, but on account Of the
rigid inspection given the men by
the judges, which extended to the
rifle barrels. departure from the
custom of other years, the program
of this morning, scheduled to end at
noon, was extended and did not finish
until 1870.

of these same boys taking part in
the maneuvers may at this time next
year be in France carrying the spirit
of democracy to a great victory.
thousands of enthusiastic supporters
of the various companies cheered their
boys as they marched on the field.

With chests thrown out, chins high
and guns carried at the military
angle. the boys presented fine mill
tary spectacle as they marched to the
center of the big diamond. where they
were put through their PAGES The
order of commands issued by the cap
tains began with stack arms, and
constituted platoon formation, rifle
drill. squad formation, skirmish drill
in equipment. inspection of arms and
general inspection of equipment. car
riage Of men and appearance.
The heat Of the sun forced some of
the boys to drop out before the end of
the drill order was reached. and when
they came off the field they showed the
effects of their hard work in the heavy
blue uniform. Company C, which last
year won the trophy under Capt e. K.
Ellis. carried the prize banner on the
field today. led by Capt. Walter l..
Shearer. The companies which drilled
this morning were as follows: Company

Huge Army Money Bill Is Now Ready for Final
 Passage Through Congress

Washington. July 5--The army appro- priation bill was prepared late today for final action by Congress. Senate and House conferees reached a complete agreement on the huge appropriations compromised to agreegate $12, ,085, GOO, ,00o and the volume of legislation added by the Senate.
 Most of the Senate amendments, in- cluding that for organization of vol- unteer Slavic legion, and to base army draft quotas on the number of men in Class 1 instead of state populations, were retained as was the House provision giv- ing the President unlimited authority to increase the army by calls under the draft law.
 At the suggestion of Provost Marshal General Crowder, the amendment of Sen ator McKellar of Tennessee. which the Senate had adopted authorizing the President to promote General Crowder to be a lieutenant general, was dropped from the bill. General Crowder wrote a letter stating that credit for admins tration of the draft law belonged not to him alone and urged that he be not singled out for recognition.
 The Senate amendment authorizing the President to appoint two major generals "at large" designed for General Crozier chief of ordnance and Quartermaster General Sharpe, was accepted by the House conferees.
 A compromise on the Senate amend ment increasing the number of officers in the medical corps provides for two major generals and two brgadier gen erals for the national army overseas.
