IT NOW GOES TO THE PRESIDENT Washington, May 20. Congress today completed its part in the en actment of the first of the adminis tration preparedness measures, the army reorganization bill, and sent the measure up to President Wilson for his signature. The house approved with only twenty-five dissenting votes the con ference report on the army measure, which already had been accepted by the senate. It provides for a regular army with a peace strength of more than 200,000 men, backed by a fed eralized national guard of more than 400,000, and carries many reorgani zation features worked out by War department officials to make the na tion's fighting arm more efficient. Number of Men Provided. Estimates vary as to the actual number of men the army measure will provide, the maximum to he en listed under it depending on the in terpretation placed on some sections by War department officials charged with its enforcement. As construed by Chairman Chamberlain of the sen ate military committee it provides for a regular establishment of 211,000 at peace strength and 236,000 at war strength, with a national guard strength of 457,000, The peace strength of the regulars under an in terpretation given to the house today by Chairman Hay of the house mili tary committee would be 260,000. Besides the personnel increases, the measure provides for a govern ment nitrate manufacturing plant to cost not more than $20,000,000; for establishment of a system oh military training camps for civilians, paid -for out of the federal treasury; for a board (o investigate the advisability of establishing a government muni tions plant, and for vocational edu cation in the army.

Marrow, who had secured the signatures and filed the petitions for Henry Ford for president, took issue with Ure's assertion that he would vote for Cummins to carry out the popular instruction. "Ford got the most votes in this district," said Marrow,1 "and if you obey instruction, you will vote for him. i "But Cummins got the biggest vote in the state, and that ought to gov ern," said Ure. "I'll have to ask the attorney general as to which instruc tions are binding. j To make sure that the matter was j not overlooked, Marrow immediately put it up to the attorney general and here is the reply received "Lincoln, May 19. My dear Mr, Marrow: Answering your of the loth, instant swill cay the fact that the district delegates in your dis trict gave over 2,000 majority votes ! for Henry Ford, would indicate that j your district was in favor of Henry I Ford, and it carries the moral obli-1 gation for the drlrgafes to support I him. That, to my mind, is the extent I of the force and effect of the law, j Verv trill v votirs. Wll.LIS K.
