ARMY Of $4,000
IS PROVIDED FOR
BY SENATE BOARD
Measure Is Not Opposed by
Democrats of Committee,
Is Ordered Reported.

Washington. May 23-Provision for
regular army of $4,000 men and
12.5OO officers as made Tuesday by the
senate military committee is virtually
complete revision Of the annual army
appropriation bill.
Chairman Wadsworth was authorized
by the committee to report the bill at
once to the senate and seek an ar
rangement for early consideration.
None of the democratic committee
members voted against reporting the
bill. Some democratic senator's ex-
pressed themselves as believing the per-
sonnel authorization excessive and
said they were considering offering
amendments to reduce the l33, 900 fig
ure. Some republicans also were re-
ported to be planning reduction fight.
Although the committee provided ap-
preparations for 1873 900 men. this bin
would authorize maximum personnel
of 100000. This, it was said, was to
give the war department some latitude
in recruiting to fill gaps caused by en-
listment expirations.
AS passed by the house, the bill car
ried appropriations of about $685.
100000. The senate increase. il was
explained. was due largely to increased
cost or the addlcOnal personnel and
also salary increases for officers pro-
vided for under the service pay revis-
ion bill passed recently by both
branches of congress.
In disposing of amendments to the
bill the senate committee approved the
house clause providing for training of
reserve officers and privates, includ-
ing 10000 reserve officers and 10000
enlisted men. The committee amended
the house bill to cut the travel pay
of reserve officers to the training
from eight to four cents per
mile, and disapproved request by the
war department for an increase in the
training corps.
Revised estimates furnished the
by the department Tuesday,
it was stated. showed that the regular
army now had been cut to about 133,-
900.

Governor Allen proposed to com
plete the project and investigate after
wards, Governor Miller said. while he
proposed to do the investigating first.
Governor Miller declared that be had
figures to show that the estimates of
the st. Lawrence waterway commits

The first thing to consider, he said
is to determine whether the project is
feasible.
''And l am here to show that it ia
not feasible" he added
No Knock at Railroads
Governor Miller says we must not
interfere with the railroads. Governor
Allen said. "The middle westnever
wanted to do this. The railroads have
been our salvation. Governor Miller
and i agree on this proposition. We
only tell it differently.
He says We couldn't bring the
Mauretania to Chicago. We don't
want to-"
Governor Allen then quoted Lloyds

Governor Allen said
Governor Miller wants to konw
what they'd bring back from foreign
ports. Well. what does he think the
people out here are going
to live on? Statistics show that 81
$50. 100000 worth of imports came to
Chicago last year"
1T is as ridiculous to assume that
ocean vessels would return to New
York empty as TO believe that they
would return to Lake ports without
cargoes, he said

New York and Kansas
Governors in Third
Debate on Waterway

Chicago, May 23.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press. )-Governor Henry J.
Allen. of Kansas, and Governor Nathan
L. Miller, of New York, met at the
banquet table of the Illinois Manufac-
turers' association Tuesday night in
the third of their now famous debates
on the issues between the middle west
and the Atlantic seaboard over the pro-
posed st. Lawrence waterway.
While Governor Allen advanced the
cause of the project to carry ocean
traffic directly to the markets on the
shores of the Great Lakes, Governor
Miller puffed constantly at cigar and
made frequent notes for his reply to
the Kansas governor.
Governor Miller sat by Mayor Will
liam Hale Thompson, Governor ]. A
O. Preus. of Minnesota, and former
Governor W. L. Harding of Iowa.
New York has no objections to the
consummation of the mid-west's dream,
Governor Miller said, as he began his
argument.
Says Kansas Wants Water
"The state which led the crusade
for prohibition is now clamoting for
water" he said, land all the water
in the Atlantic will not quench its
thirst"
The middle west, he said, feels the
call of the ocean much as some felt the
call of the wild. but the call appeals
more to desire than to reason.
If there is any reason to hope that
the Atlantic ocean can be brought
1900 miles inland, then New York is
not so selfish as to impose any OBJ
iections to the consummation of that
hope" he declared.

NJ 'CUMbER MAY
CALL UP BONUS
IN BOARD SOON
Says Will Try to Get
1t Before Majority
Some Time This Week

Washington. May %. - Chairman
McCumber may bring up the soldiers
bonus bill in n finance committee ma
jority meeting without waiting for
President Harding to communicate his
views on the amended house measure.
He said Tuesday he would try to get
the bill before the majority some time
this week
Senator McCumber desires to have
the bonus measure placed on the SEN
ate calendar at an early date so sem
ators may have opportunity to study it
and thus be prepared for senate con
sideration when a favorable opportunity
offers. Before the bill can be reported
to the senate, however. it must be ap-
proved by the entire finance committee,
republicans and democrats.
Some republican senate leaders are
in favor of letting the bonus question
rest for while in the hope that the
negotiation looking TO the refunding
of the foreign debt soon will reach the
stage where some definite information
will be available as to when the refund
ed foreign bonds will be in hand for
financing the adjusted compensation
legislation.
Supporters of the legislation in its
present form. however. argue that the
cost of the financing for the first two
years will be so small that there is no
need of waiting until the foreign bonds
actually are in the possession of the
treasury department before the legis-
latiOn is enacted
The amended house bill was outlined
to the president two weeks ago by
Senator McCumber and others of the
finance committee, and it was stated
then that the president would com
municate his views to the committee.
Thus far Chairman McCumber has re
ceiyed no word from him.
