House Committee Has Voted
Unanimously to Give Him
Free Rein in Draft
PROVISION ALSO
FOR AMPLE FUNDS
Appropriation Bill Carrying s1o5oo,-
100000 to Permit the Shifting of
Money-Secretary Baker Appears
Again Before House Committee.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-The man
power of the United States was mort
gagged Thursday by an amendment written
into the army appropriation bill by the
house committee on military affairs which
reads ; 7k~
The President is hereby authorized
to draft, subject to the provisions of
the seleetive draft service act and all
acts amendatory thereto, as many
men from year to year as can be
equipped, trained and used during
each fiscal year until the successful
termination of the war.
Adoption of this amendment was by
unanimous vote OF the house committee
and constitutes another victory for the
administration. When Secretary Baker
first proposed that unlimited power he
gwen to the President to draft men
without reference to specific numbers, op-
position led by Chairman Dent, developed
Secretary Baker was again before the
house committee Thursday and reiterated
his argument that unlimited authority
would have tremendous psychological
eifect" in this country and abroad Soon
thereafter the house committee adopted
the language which commits congress to
support an army of any size which the
President may deem necessary, whether
1t be 100000 or 100000.
The house committee completed Thurs
day the rough draft of the army appro.
priation bill, and it will be reported Sat.
urday The bill will carry approximately
$1,000, 100000. This. amount is exclu-
siye of the large amounts for heavy
ordnance which win come from the APP.
preparations committee in the fortified
lions bill and will amount to at least
S3,Ooo,0OO,O0O, according to present est
mates.
Under pressure of wartime conditions
the military committee also adopted a
legislative rider to the army bill which
practically makes the entire appropriation
lump sum-" This provision goes even
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1918-05-25

farther than the request of the war de-
partment, which asked for virtual lump
sum appropriations for the quartermaster
and ordnance bureaus.
The rider provides that appropriations
for the next fiscal year shall be inter-
changeable as between bureaus and ac-
invites of the war department.; that is,
funds for one bureau or use may be di-
verted to another in the event Of military
necessity. This gives the war depart
ment practically free. hand to spend the
record breaking amount appropriated in
any manner which inures to the success,
ful conduct Of the war.

performances. The big show has ex-
hibited in every city of any size in the
