Third Floor BILL Itl CONFERENCE Army Measure Net Amended Before Leaving House. MANN LOSES HIS FIGHT Senate Conferees AH "larger Army" Men Volunteer Army Provision Kegardcd as Chiefly Val uable for Trading. WASHINGTON". April 25. Den,iocratie leaders in the House today finally de feated the efforts of Minority Leader Mann to prevent tne Army bill from going to conference unamended, and the conferees of both houses, appointed later, will meet tomorrow to work out a final draft of the first ereat pre paredness measure. A special rule adopted after brief debate paved the way for action in the House. The rule permitted one mo tion to recommit the bill, but most of the Republicans, resenting: Speaker Clark's recognition of Representative Ixndon, Socialist, to make the motion. declined to vote on the proposition and it was defeated. 248 to 1. "When the Senate conferees were an nounced there was much comment on the fact that all "bii? army" men had been named. Senator Hitchcock, sec cond majority member of the military committee and opposed to a larsre ftandinn army was not on the list. The conferees are Senators Chamber lain. I'eckham. Broussard. Dupont and Warren, and Keprejientati ves Hay. of Virginia. Dent, of Alabama, and Ivahn, of California. For almost a week Representative Mann had led the fight in thw House against sending the measure to con ference. Hi insisted on having- it re committed to the military committee with instructions to strike out the pro vision for a nitrate plant and to insert the provisions of the Senate bill for a 250.000 standing army and a Federal volunteer force. Iuring the discussion of the rule to day Mr. Mann contended that a regular army of at least 250.000 would be need ed for first line defense if the country were drawn into war. When an overwhelming majority had sustained the rule. Representative Jvahn moved to recommit and strike out all of the Senate amendments except that relating: to increasing the Army to 2.10.000. rimultan.eously. Representa tive I,ondon. of New York, opposing all military and naval increases, offered an unqualified motion to recommit. A long parliamentary wrangle over who should be recognized followed, and the Republicans, guessing that Represen tative London was the favored one, be-1 cause he voted against the original House bill, while Representative Kahn had not, threw Representative Britton, of Illinois, a Republican who stood alone with London against the original bill, into the breach with a motion to recommit. The right to make such a motion. Republican leaders contended. belonged by tradition to the ' minority. "The gentleman from New York is a minority in himself, and he is recog nized." the Speaker ruled, while Re publicans tood up and shouted objec tions. Aside from the difference in author ized strength of the regular Army, the House and Senate bills are dissimilar in other important respects. Of great interest is the Senate federal volunteer army plan, authorizing a force with an ultimate strength of 260.000 men and which has been vigorously opposed by friends of the National Guard in both houses. It was retained in the bill by so narrow a margin in the Sen ate that its friends admit that its value will be chiefly for trading purposes in conference. Another difference 'is in the size of the Federalized National Guard pro posed and the method of Federaliza tion. The House bill contemplated 425.000 National Guard strength within five years and also provides that mem bers of the National Guard shall be subject to draft in the Federal service in time of war to obviate any question of their status.
