Washington. The administration program for national defense to be recommended to the forthcoming ses sion of congress, proposing a total ex penditure on the army and the navy next year of about (400,000,000, was practically completed. Secretary Gar rison's plan, approved by the presi dent, calls for an increase of $75,000, 000 in the war department's annual ap propriation to be used for augmenting the regular army to 140,000 men and the creation of a new continental army of 400,000 men. Approval also was given to the pro posal of Secretary Daniels and the general board of the navy for a five year naval construction program to cost 1500,000,000, giving the navy 10 new dreadnoughts and six battle cruisers, as well as more than 70 sub marines, 50 destroyers, 10 scout cruis ers and a host of auxiliary ships. The plan of Secretary Garrison Is as follows: Enlistment of 133,000 "continentals" every year to serve at training camps two months annually and, after three years' service, go In the reserve corps for three years, making six years' service In all. After six years this would constantly provide an active continental army of 400,000 and a re serve of 400,000, as another 133,000 would be mustered out annually and as many enlisted. Increase Regular Army to 140,000. Increase of the regular army from the present force of 97,100 to 140,000. By changing the enlistment term re quiring the regulars to serve two years actively and four more years in re serve, by 1922, the reserves. It Is es timated, would be 280,000 men and the regular army still 140.000 or 420,000 in all. These figures are based on be lief that about 70,000 would serve out their active term annually and would then be in the reserve corps for four years more. Continuance of state militia aggre gating 125.000, the present force, but under federal control and with In creased training and equipment. The army aviation corps planned, while not as largo as those of Europe, to con sist of four squadrons with 12 ma chines each and extra dirigibles and war balloons, It is believed, would be ample for scouting purposes.

The bandits removed the spikes from a rail and lying concealed In the uearby brush, jerked this rail from under the nose of the engine with a long heavy wire. The engine jumped the track. The robbery was conducted by five or six Mexicans in khaki uniforms, while outside the train some 15 or 20 more Mexicans kept up a constant fire, apparently shooting either over or beneath the train.
