SENATE ORDERED
 ARMY REDUCTION
Secretary Baker Instructed to Cease Recruiting Until Size Is Reduced to l50.O00-Moye Made to
 Reconsider.

Washington, Jan, 14.-Secretary of War Baker, under resolution passed by the senate late today, is directed to cease recruiting until the size of the army has been reduced to 100000 men. This resolution was passed over the protest of a majority of the renbers of of tie tie senate military com mittee.
 f After adjournment Senator Phelan of California, democrat, notified Vice President Marshall he would move to- morrow for reconsideration on the ground that the senate had not been | fully advised concerning the obJec- tions of General Pershing and Secre- tary Baker to the reduction.
 Should Senator Phelan fail in. his endeavor to bring about reconsider ation, the resolution will go to the house.
 Chairman Wadsworth of the mili- tary affairs committee, did not ask i for roll call on the resolution, be- cause the senate a few minutes be- ! fore. by d vote of 34 to 28, adopted motion of Senator Lenroot, repub- llican of Wisconsin, fixing the army's lmaximum limit at 10000, thereby rejecting the committees proposal to lmaket the figure 175,000.
 This vote was taken altho General Pershing and Secretary of War Baker at an executive session with the mili- tary affairs committee, just before the converting of the senate, objected to any serious cut in the size of the army. General Pershing suggested 100000 as the minimum limit 1 Senator New, republican of Indi- sna, member of the military affairs committee, who introduced the origin al reduction, resolution declared that he did not consider the 150,0o0 limit either expedient or safe, while Chair man Wadsworth expressed opposition te "what is very drastic reduction to our military establishment"
