The bill carries the La Folio

ment, appropriating $2,000,000
relief of dependent families of troop.- 1
I in service for the Mexican eri.-l-. 1
: The amendment was enlarged to in- '
! elude soldiers of the regular army. '
Immediately following disposition I
I of the army bill the senate took up
and passed with brief debate the mil- >
itary academy appropriation bill, ;
which carries $2,238,328.57, compared
i with $1,218,804.57, as it passed the
house. The senate bill is more than
| double the size of last year’s ap- j
| propriation.

jeluded in the appropriation bill are:
Creation of council of national de
fense for the coordination of indus
tries and resources for the national
security and welfare, to consist of
the secretaries of state and navy,
war, chief of staff of the army, an
officer of the navy and six civilians
to be appointed by the president, who
shall have special knowledge of some
industry, public utility or the devel
opment of some natural resource.
Civilian members would serve with

es incurred.
Ten per cent increase in pay for

tional guard and 20 per cent for en

Incre. e in the age minimum for
er'stment in the regular army with
I out consent of parent or guardian

Revision of the articles of war gov- j
erning rules of court-martial.
Just before passage of the bill ihe .
Reed amendment, adopted Wednes- |
day, allowing national guardsmen to j
vote in the coming elections was 1
stricken out on a point of order made
by Senator Williams, of Mississippi,
because it was general legislation on
an appropriation bill.
Senator Jones, of Washington, of
fered an amendment to the Reed
amendment, intended to avoid the
registration laws of Washington,
whereupon Senator Williams said he
would make a point of order against
it as the Jones provision would con
flict with Mississippi laws. Senator
Jones insisted on his modification
and the point of order was made and
sustained.
