REVERSE VOTE FOR
BIG STANDING ARMY
SENATE PASSES APPROPRIATION
BILL PROVIDING FOR
FIGHTING MEN
10000 Men viii be Taken Care of In
= Measure just Passed in"Senate;
5000 Men Will Be Dis
charged from Army

Washington.-In an unexpected re-
versal of Tuesdays vote, the senate
Wednesday decided, SO to 81, TO reduce
the strength of the army to 10000 men
necessitating the discharge of approx
mately 5000 men before the middle
of next February.
The action came as a complete sur
prise after the action Tuesday by
which the senate adopted by vote of "a
to 30, the military affairs committees
recommendation designed to keep the
strength of the army from falling be-
low 10000 men.
When the army bill was brought up
Wednesday for final action, a separate
roll call on the size of the army was de-
manded. The result was victory for
the economy drive of insurgent Re
publicans, led by Senator Borah of
Idaho, allied with virtually the solid
Democratic votes.
The military committees amendment
provided pay for a minimum army of
10000 men, The rejection of this
amendment automatically restored the
house provision requiring reduction of
the army to 10000 men, which Secre-
tary of War. Weeks declared would be
ruinouS.
Senator Wadworth of New York,
chairman of the military committee ap-
pealed to the senate not to insist upon
so drastic reduction, and proposed
an amendment prviding funds for an
army of not less than 10000. The
senate relented somewhat and agreed
to this amendment without a roll call.
All but two votes for an army of
10000 men were cast by Republicans.
The two exceptions were Senator
Myers of Montana and Senator Fletch-
er of Florida, Democrats. The twelve
insurgent Republicans and twenty-four
Democrats accomplished the defeat of
the larger army amendment. The
twelve insurgents were Borah, Capper,
Gooding, Harreld, Jones of Washington
Kenyon, Ladd, LaFollette, McNary,
Norris, Townsend and Willis.
The passage of the entire bill, carry
ing appropriations of about $33,0Oo,000
for the army for the fiscal year begin
ming July1, followed shortly afterwards
without roll call. The measure now
goes to conference, where the question
of the size of the army will have to be
threshed out further.
