ON
ARMY BILL
,INHOUSE
Military Affairs Committee
Splits on Train
ing.

Yesterdays meeting of the House
Military Affairs Committee revealed
the fact that a deadlock exists on
the question of Incorporating a pro-
vision for universal military train
ing in the army reorganization bill.
The committee stands 10 to 10.
with one vacancy created by the
resignation from Congress of for
mer Representative LaGuardia, of
New York. What action the COM
mittee takes may depend upon the
member selected to fill the vacancy.
although this is not cerain, as sew
eraI of the opponents are declared
to be wavsring.
Seven Republicans and three
Democratic members of the COM
mittee favor universal military
training. while five Republicans
and an equal number of Democrats
oppose it.
The four opponents who. 1t is be-
lieved. may be won over are Nc
Kenzie. Fuller. Fields and Harri-
son.
House leaders in control Of the
Committee on Committees which will
name LaGuardia's successor on the
Military Committee. are understood
to be opposed to universal training
and NAV select a member of that
view.
If this should be the case. a bit
ter fight on the foo kb- conditions
reversed from the sEress. is
certain to result.
At yesterdays meeting of the COM
mittee it was decided 10 finally pass
on the question when its logical place
in the Reorganization bill Is reach
ed. probably Monday or Tuesday. In
the meantime the new member Is ex-
pected to be named.
The first action of the committee
yesterday was to strike out of the
subcommittee tentative draft Of the
reorganization measure a provision
making permanent the temporary
rank OF Lieutenant Generals Hunter
L. Liggett and Robert L. Bullard.
The vote was 8 to >.

Democratic hosts were given the
privilege last night of disestins two
divergent policies along with their
food at the twin banquets held in
Washington to celebrate Jackson
Day.
One opinion was offered to the
assembled guests at the New VIII

The other was from the bps Of

Their Differing Views.
The advice OF Woodrow VIII,

treaty now before a hostile Sen

great Commoner was to the effect
that the Democratic party cannot
go into the campaign with an
unrstified treaty hanging over its
head

banquet.

citizens or as members of the
party, to share with the Repubi-
can party the responsibility for
further delay; we cannot 20 be-

insisted Mr.. Bryan at the twin
banquet party.
1t is true that ii did not take much
to draw applause from the assembled
guests, as they were there with a
united front, and any allusion TO most
anything which either savored Of new
tactics or upheld revered traditions
was sure TO set the crowd enthusiastic
Yet is was felt by many that two
