ARMY Of $4,000
VOLUNTEERS IS
ENACTED AS LAW
Senate Bill Passed by
House Limits Enlist
ments to Year.
PRESENT FORCE IS NOT
affected BY NEW ACT

Washington, Feb. 1S-Legislation
providing for temporary military es-
tablishment Of about $4,000 officers and
men during the fiscal year, beginning
next July /, was eliminated from the
annual army appropriation bill, tonight,
in the house. after passage of the sem
ate bill for resumption of voluntary en-
listments as a peace time army which
would be restricted to the maximum OF
175.OOO men authorized in the national
defense act of 1916.
The senate measure now goes to con-
ference and will become effective upon
approval by President Wilson.
The army appropriation bill also was
adopted by the house without record
vote, and now goes to the senate, with
garded as doubtful. 1t carries total Of
81 1,O7O, 100000 for the war department
for the twelve months after June 80.
Doesn't Affect Present Army.
1t was explained by house members
that the senate bill did not affect the
present wartime army, which, under the
selective service act. must be demobiiiz-
ed within four months after peace is
formally declared.
Decision of the house to consider the
senate measure was by vote of 172 to
162. Chairman Dent, by direction of
the house military committee, had asked
for a rule to make the temporary army
legislation in the regular appropriation
bill in order, but the rules committee
took no formal action on the request.
Service Limited to Year.
Instead, it voted seven to five, to re-
port resolution giving the senate mea-
sure the right of way. Ten republicans
joined with 162 democrats in voting for
the resolution in the house, after a
sharp debate.
Before adopting the senate bill, the
house amended it so as to provide that
recruits should be enrolled in the regular
service in the reserve.
Their pay was fixed by another
amendment at $50 a month, the wartime
basis in the army.
Mann Stirs Democrats.
Republican Leader Mann, in explaining
the votes of 155 republicans against
adopting the rule to consider the senate
bill, said opposition was not against the
bill. but was a protest against the
failure to consider a temporary pro-
gram that would enable the quicker re-
turn of troops from Europe. The recruit
ing bill itself finally was adopted with
cut a dissenting vote.
Mr.. Mann's declaration brot sharp
retors from the democratic side. Rep
resentatiye Humphreys, of Mississippi.
declared that mo demagoguery can make
the boys in France believe that we are
trying to keep them there. His decIara-
ton for q small army YVES vigorously
applauded, by the democrats, as was
also his assertion that the soldiers
should not be held abroad for police
duty.
