SENATE AGAINST
A LARGE ARMY
Rejects Committee Recommendation
and FavOrs Average Strength
of 10000 Men

WASHINGTON, June 9.-Reiecting
committee provisions for minimum army

the senate yesterday passed the army
appropriation bill carrying a total of
1884, 000, 900. and making provision for an
army of not less than 10000 men, The
house had previously provided for an aver
age strength of 100000.
Advocates of economy and a small army
came to the front in the final hour of
debate, poured a hot attack on the COM
mittee provision for an enlisted personnel
of 10000 and then mastering their
forces, voted the committee amendment
down, 36 to 81. BY a like majority of
four votes, the senate previously had ac-
cepted the 10000 figure, so that yester-
days vote constituted direct reversal

ence for the compromise of senate and
house differences. The house bill carried
appropriations of about $14000,000 less
than the senate measures.
Committee amendments other than for
the pay of enlisted men were accepted and

100000 to prepare plans for development
