Washington. Apr. 30.-Holding a
solid front against a republican split,
democrats forced through the house
today an amendment to the army ap-
preparation bill cutting down the en-
listed force to 10000 lei The
Kahn proposal for a bigger force
never got a vote.
The bill as approved by Secretary
Weeks provided for $4,000 men.
There was no certainty, however,
that the 10000 figure would stand,
for the vote today was in committee
of the whole.
The amendment for reduction of
the enlisted strength to 10000 was
offered by Representative Byrnes,
democrat, South Carolina. The vote
was 100 70 50.
The house previously had adopted
as a substitute for the Kahn proposal
an amendment for $4,000, but the
I,vrnes amendment went through and
wiped it out.
Representative Mondell, Wyoming,
republican leader. in closing debate
urged republicans TO stand by the bill
as framed by the approximations COM
mittee with its enlisted otal les, 900.
Chairman Kahn of the military af-
fairs committee. pleaded for at least
$4,000 men.

iStration's first step toward placing
the United States on a technical legal
basis Of peace vas taken tonight by

ton. 1t would repeal the war resolu-
tons Gtecting Germany II Austria
Hungary, impound alien enemy prop
erty, and reserve to the United States
all rights and privileges under the
treaty of Versailles n other peace
treaties.

ton and substitute a simple declara-
