 10 115,0OO MEN
Bill Also Provides That Troops in Hawaii, Canal Zone and China Must Be Brought
 Back to U. s. A.
By Associated Press

Washington, March 22.-The House gave it's approval today to a pro vision of the army appropriation hill which would require the reduction by July of the regular army enlis,sd strength to 115.oo0 men and then to proceed to enter upon prolonged discussion of whether Congress should direct the return to the United States of certain troops stationed in China. Hawaii. the Panama Canal zone and on the Rhine. Secretary Weeks has already ordered the with drawal of the troops from the Rhine.
 The bill provides that before tho beginning of the coming fiscal year approximately $500 troops stationed in Hawaii, 2,000 men on duty In the Canal Zone and the entire force of 500 garrisoned in China az well as all but 500 men and officers in the army of occupation in Germany must be brought back to continental Unit ed states.
 Representative Crago, republican, Pennsylvania. raised point of order against the provision on the ground that Congress was attempting to usurp the power of the president to direct troop movements. The point of order. however, was overruled by Representative Longworth, republi. can, Ohio, presiding who declared that while he did so with personal regret" he believed Congress In ap- propriating for maintenance O. troops could properly place such limitations on the President and war department.
 Adjourn Before Vote
 A nf sN al ,t.<, sf. .s.... from the bill was then made by Rep resentative Rogers, republican. Massachusetts, but the House ad journed before a vote was taken. The bill be taken up again Friday.
 After extended discussion the House by decisive majorities rejected amendments which would have fixeI the maximum enlisted strength al levels other than the 115.000 reconl- mended by the subcommittee which framed the bill Chairman Kahn of the military affairs committee pro posed that party be provided for l34.- 900 men. exclusive of 1000 Philip pine scouts. Representative Sisson, Mississippi. democratic member of the subcommittee in charge of the bill offered an amendment to reduce the maximum to 100000 while Rep resentative Quinn, democrat, Mississ- lppi urged that the number of en- listed men be slashed to 50,O00.
 During discussion of the enlisted strength. Mir. Ssson and Chairman Mann, predicted that the Senate would insist on larger army than the House and that the figure finally agreed upon> would be In excess of that fixed by the House.
 MT. Kahn said he wanted an army large enough to cope with any situa ton, Declaring that the United staies tsasenot yseaily at peace With Mexico, he said. that we have a situa ton in the west which may lead to trouble.

NATIONWIDE JOINT RATES ADVOCATED
Cross ss-Examination of Brent by Rail Representatives
 Occupies Session
Dy Associated Press

New Orleans, March 22.--Support of the application for extension of joint rail and water rates to the entire country and the establishment Of more equitable rate distribution between both traffic mediums and advocated yesterday by Theodore Brent, federal manager of the Mis-, sissippi- Warrior river barge line ser- vice. at the hearing being conducted by Examiner R. T. Eddy of the in- terstate commerce commission, was given today by several witnesses
 Cross examination of MT. Brent by rail representatives occupied all of the morning session and part of the afternoon hearing. The federal man ager reiterated his arguments pre- sented yesterday and declared the history of transportation in the United States has shown that when the dfferential between water and .raH rates has been lowered the water lines have suffered from lack of pat ronage. traffic seeking the faster route when there is but a slight dif- fcrenre."
 Mir. Brent declared as unfoundsd the belief of railroad representatives that the barge service would be in- adequate to handle additional traffic if the new joint rates were granted and that the effect of such action by the commission would be detrimental to the revenues of carriers.
 Railroads represented in the cross examination of Mir. Brent included the Louisville and Nashville, south ern railway. Central Freight associ- ation lines, Missouri Pacific and the Louisiana Railway and Navigation company.
 Paul A. Walker, counsel for the corporation commission of Oklahoma, favored further utilization of water way traffic and urged a reduced ratc for Oklahoma. He said shippers in his state are paying 2S per cent higher rail rates than corresponding territory served by the same railroads while at the same time Oklahoma revenue amounts to 70 per cent more revenue for the railroads than does he revenue of eompetiting territory.
 J. S. Davant, comm ssioner of the Memphis freight bureau, advocated an examination of his citys water way traffic privileges corresponding to those in existence at New Orleans and St. Louis.
 K. S. Cobb of the Mobile chamber of commerce and W. J. Johnson, traf- fic manager of the Texas Gulf Sui- phur company at Gulf. Tex, sup ported the petition.
 Galveston shipping interests 1t was Indicated in cross examination of MT Brent by H. B. Cummins af The Galveston commercial association, were opposed to the new joint rates asked for.

SENATOR'S CLAMOR ID RECORD VIEWS
 ON PAC|F F|C PACT
Eight Hours of 0ratory Yes terday Divided Equally Be- tween Praise and Con-
 demnation of Treaty
By Associated Press

Washington, March 22,--Eight hours more of oratory. divided about equally between praise and condem- nation of the four-power Pacific u eaty, went into the Senate record tcday as the ratification debate ap- preached its conclusion.
 So great was the crush of the sen ators who wanted to get their views recorded before the hour for voting arrives on Friday that an all-after- neon session was not sufficient to accommodate them. For the first time since the debate began the Sen ate recessed for dinner and met again tn the evening to let the discussion wear itself out
 Flights for Ratification
 On the side of the treaty propo= nonts, Senator Pomerene of Ohio, democratic member of the foreign re- lations committee, took up the fight for ratification with a speech telling his party colleagues they could not consistently oppose the four-poWer ract If they had honestly favored the League of Nations. He characterized the treaty as pocket edition Of the celebrated Article 10 of the league covenant. and said that although he would have preferred the league or the Association of nations adNo- cated by President Harding. it would bt inexcusable to reject the under standing now offered.
 The days debate was opened by Senator LaFollette. who denounced inc treaty as British Japanese scheme to merge the Angio-Japanese alliance into another alliance bind tC iun- perialistic policies in the Pacific and the far east In any conference held under the treaty, he said. the Amer ican representative was certain to be outvoted by Japanese British com bination against American interests
 Many Conferences Held
 Numerous conferences between va rious Senate groups took place While the days discussion was in progress and although some of the irreconciI- able group declared they had consoi- idated an opposition totalling within ,y.a or three votes of enough to de- feat ratification, the adm illustration leaders insisted the margin for ap- proval would be much greater. ihe leaders also stood pat on their pre- dictfons that no reservation would De adopted except the no-alliance deeia- ration drawn by the lorelhh iei"et committee.
 In all. seven reservations ana one amendment are pending and It was indicated today that at least ohe more would be presented before the ana1 vote It is expected to provide that each signatory nation shall de eide for itself what questions consu- lute domestic issues within the meaning of the treaty. The question os who would make sueh decision was raised several times tn todas debate, opponents of the treaty con. tending that express provision should be made to prevent any foreign na- ton or combination of nations rom bringing before any "conference' h question considered by this govern ment to be entirely within It's own jurisdiction.
