a further reduction in the size OF the
standing army was approved by the
House to-day when during consideration
of the army appropriation bill 1t fixed
the amount for the pay of the army
during the fiscal year beginning July
at figure, sufficient only for 10000
men.
The action was taken in the commit
tee of the whole by vote of IS to IS
and may be made the subject Of another
vote when the bill is considered in the
House proper. The army now is about
10000 but is being reduced since the
passage Of resolution by Congress
stopping all enlistments until il is cut
to 1900. the number provided for in the
appropriation bill for the current year.
Although little debate was allowed In
fixing the appropriation for an army OF
10000 afsr July l, il was apparent that
a large majority OF the House is in
favor of this decrease. Representative
Green Vt), backed by Representative
Husted On. ~. sought to increase tho
appropriation enough to allow for
10000 men, but this was Overwhelmingly
defeated. No further reduction should
be made because of the present un-
settled condition of the world, Mr..
Hustled argued.
However, despite any action Congress
may take it Is doubtful whether the
army can be reduced to 10000 in the
next fiscal year. Gen. Pershing recently
predicted 1t would take sixteen months
for the normal discharges to bring It
down from 10000 to 175.0OO. An effort
was made by Representative Hastings

Republican leaders to-day began con-
sideration of q programme by which
ey hope to rescue the legislative pro-
sramme in the Senate from its present
deadlock 80 they can prevent failure OF

The emergency tariff bill is the OBJ
stacle and has been from the start.
Leaders on both sides realize that even
If 1t passed the Senate II would probably
die in conference because 1t is overload
ed with amendments which never could
set through conference; but even should
these amendments be beaten and the
bill get to the President IL would be
vetoed. according TO statements made
over and over again by Senator Under
wood (Ala.).
Determination of Republican leaders
to save the appropriation bills has been
strengthened by the knowledge that 1t
would be a great disappointment TO Mr..
Harding.
II is understood, too. that the date of
the special session of Congress depends
on what happens in the Senate in the
next few days II Is almost certain that
II the supply bills fail. which is quite
likely in view of the stubborn fight over
the tariff bill in the Senate, the special
session will be called earlier than April /.
A longer session would be needed for
the reason that new committees will
have to consider the appropriation bills.

Special Despatch 70 THE Nrw YoRK HERALD.

Washington. ID. C., Feb. 3.

New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. C.. Feb. J.
The creation of a separate bureau OF
aeronautics in the Navy Department
was approved to-day by the aouse
Naval Affairs Committee. In a bill
supplementary to the nsvS appropria-
tions bill now before the House the
committee also recommended opropria-
tions of about ss,0cO,0oo for additional
aircraft construction during the next
fiscal year. This is in addition to the
s2o.ooo,0o0 carried in the appropriation
bill for the normal expenses OF naval
aviation.
The action in creating a separate aero
nautical bureau was recommended
strongly by Secretary Daniels and high
officers of the navy. II is significant in
view of the pending dispute between the
respective merits Of the battleship and
the airpiane, because IL puts naval avia-
tion work on a parity with other activi-
ties OF the department. The dispute
over the airplane and the battleship
will be aired before the committee to-
morrow, when Adnirals william S. Sims
and Bradley Fiske will appear to give
their views.
The total appropriation of aviation In
the navy is about si.0Oo,000 in excess OF
that for the current year. OF the total Of
5000, 900 allowed by the Naval Affairs
Committee ss.12S,25o was allotted for
new construction both of planes and
hangers and for new equipment. For
new aviation buildings s2.7S9,oc0 was al
lowed.
The Naval Affairs Committee on the
recommendation of Mr.. Daniels elm

but both sides are daily adding to the

With no way out Of the muddle at
present the work Of the Senate Is at a
