INTERPRETATION BILL. APPROVED
 PROVIDES r ! R
 REDUCED FORCE
Attempts To Cut Number Of Officers From l4,000 To
 5000 Is Defeated
AMENDMENTS DOWNED
Bill Carries 72 Million For Fay Of Enlisted Men In
 U. s. Military Force

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.--A definite step toward reduction of the army to lSOOOO men was taken today when the house approved an appropriation sufficient only to maintain a force of that size during the fiscal year be. ginning July 1.
 The action came after attempts had failed to amend the army appropria. ton bill to provide for l75.OOO. 900 men, and to decrease the number of officers from l4.OOO to approximately 5000.
 When the section of the bill appro. pratlng funds for the pay of enlisted men was reached. dozen represen- ta'lNes were clamoring for recogni-
 ton. Amendments poured in and for an hour members revived the small army versus large army debate.
 The net result. however. was suc. cess for the efforts of the appronrie. uonS committee to keep the measure practically intact. all amendment ce. ing voted down except one by Egpre- sentative Johnson. Repuhli, q of south Dakota, authorizing the iis- charge Of youths under IS on their application or at the request of their parents or guardians. The house vot- cd to grant such lads honorable dis charge.
 The bill as amended carries s7s.- 67S.6SS for the pay Of enlisted men. This amount is sufficient for l5a. .0GO, II was stated. An amendment to in. crease the amount 10 SS4.S49, ,909 was voted down. 45 to IS.
 Another amendment, which was de- feated, 6S to 42. would have required the war department to reduce the ar my to l50.0O0 within six months after the passage of the bill.
 Previous to the discussion of the enlisted strength. an attempt was made by Representatives Jones. Dem ocrat of Texas. to have the appropri- ation for the pay of officers reduced from S42 1000. 900 to SS0. 900 .000. Such a cut. he said. would necessitate a decrease of approximately 5000 in their number.
 Chairman Kahn of the military led the fight 10 keep the officer strength as at present.
 ut tApCiiCNCt Ot NNiS NOuuNtA iu the world war ought to be lesson for all time" he declared It took us lS months to get ready to light. chiefly because we lacked trained of. ficers."
 The Jones amendment was defeat ed. Se to 29.
 During the debate over proposals to fiN the maximum strength of the enlisted personnel at l15,00o instead Of l50.O00. Representative Momuell. leader. advocated the rs> duction to lS0.OO0. Congress. he de clared, should attempt to realize the hopes of the American people by get ting back to normal condition. The believes. he added. that an army of l50.000 will be sufficient
 He also declared that the amount for military purposes in appropria- ton bills now pending in congress to- tals more than S72S.O00.O .OO0. more than three times the sum, he added, for military purposes during any one year before the war.
 The house quickly knocked out an restricting pay of enlest- ed men to those who could read and write and an amendment offered by Hull, RepublicEn ot Iowa. aboliShing bonuses to men on was ruled out of order.

Number Of Ambushes And Size Of Republican Army Increase
 With Aduent Of Martial Law
500 Rebels Take Part In Most Extensive Attack Made So Far On Military Six Members Of Ambush Party Die;
 Hero Who Saved 600 Americans Attack Victim

DUBLIN. Feb. S.-Since the an nOuncement by General Strickland of a decree of martial law. the Irish re- publican army appears to have been growing, both in the martial law areas and in districts like Galway, which previously had been quiet. An illustration of this is to be seen in an ambuscade last night between Bur sada and RoSscarbery. County Cork. when 500 rebels" according to off cial information. engaged the crown forces. This was the largest crowd that they have had to deal with re- gently.
 Get on with the work" was the admonition of an Irish republican army leader gave his men recently in the Irish Bulletin, scoffing at alleged peace offerings. The republican army appears to be making efforts to carry out that order.
 Dublin is now one of the storm cen terS for ambuscades. Attack on the military and police are so frequent that the newspapers have difficulty in reporting all of them.
 The object of the Sim ein activi- ties is said to be to force General Mac Ready. military commander in Ireland for political effect to extend martial law to Dublin.
 Observers point out that attacks are being made on crown forces re- gardless of danger to pedestrians. Some predict a dire event should one of these attacks be made in the bus mess quarter of Dublin when the streets are crowded. A rumOr is in that a big show" is com ing soon. It is reported that dras- tic curfew law is to be imposed.
 Every police and military lorry here now carries a hostage. chained and padlOcked to a seat.
