France, of Maryland, yesterday in
troduced an amendment to the Ag-

appropriated to study the problem
of standarizing and simplifying

The measure is in accord with the
resolution PASSED lately by the
Maryland Legislature asking for an
inquiry into the feasibility Of some
such standardization in agriculture as
was brought obout in other indus
tries by the War Industries Board.
It will be considered by the Senate
when the annual agricultural appro.

HARDING Loses
House fight ON
Army AND NAVY
Administration Meets Deci-
sive Defeat on Military
And Naval Matters
HOUSE MAKES BIG CUT
Wishes of President and Secretaries
Weeks and Denby Are Defied By
Committee.

; Washington, March 23.--The AL
ministration met decisive defeat to
day in its clash with Congress orel
the size of the military and naval es
adjustments.
l'ina! action on the army bill in the
House went over until Friday. be-
cause the soldier bonus bill comes ur
! today, but votes in the lower chamber
yesterday clearly indicated control OF
the situation by the small army
! contingent.
/ At the same time the Naval Affairs
| Committee brought in naval bill
which clearly disregards the position
of the President and his secretary OF
. the navy.
! Defying the wishes of President
Harding and Secretary Weeks, the
! House voted for an army of only
$4,000 men and 1000 officers. The
naval bill will slash the size of the
navy several thousand men below the
very minimum set by the Administra-
/ ton.
When the House adjourned last
night Congress and the President
were surely in grips. The controversy
even extends to the question whether
! the President. as cnmmander-in-c chief,
/ shall have sole jurisdiction over the
distribution of troops. The pending
| bill would order home all the troops
now in China, all but 500 of those III
Europe and restrict the number in
Hawaii and Panama to 5000 for
each country.
Sitting in committee of the whole,
the House defeated, 81 to Is. the Kahn
amendment for an army Of $4,000
men. On the other hand, it stood by
the Appropriations Committee and its
$4,000 program when it voted down
radical motion by Representative
Sisson. of Mississippi, to make still
further cuts and leave the army with
only 1000 mcn. Other amendments
proposing increases in various appro-
priations for the army were rejected.
The House Appropriations Commit
tee, which has provided in the pending
bill for cut in the present army OF
l35, 900 enlisted men to $4,000 mon,
and has voted for cut in the naval
strength from 1O5 600 to $1,000. easily
won every point in its battle with Ad-
ministration officials today until it
reachcd the part of the measure
which would order troops home from
abroad.
So many members of the House on
the Republican and Democratic side
questioned the constitutional author
ity Of Congress to do this. and there
we're so many claims that such a
course would be unwise if constitu-
tional, that Representative Anthony,
of Kansas, who had charge of the bill E,
moved an adjournment in the midst of
the discussion. The whole matter will
go over until Friday for further CON
sideration, because the House has ar
ranged to take up the soldiers bonus
bill for passage today.

sive of 1000 Philippine Scouts, the

entm asked Congress TO provide.
