The war-time strength would be 236,000 enlisted men. The Senate bill would add the fol lowing organizations to the army: Infantry, 34' i regiments; cavalry, 10 regiments; field artillery, 15 regi ments; engineers, 5 regiments; coast | artillery. 93 companies: mounted engi- \ I neers, 2 battalions; 7 aero squadrons. The House bill proposes to add: ( Infantry, 10 regiments; field artil- j I lery, 6 regiments; coast, artillery, 61! 1 companies; engineers, 13 companies; ! | 1 aero squadrons. Another difference between the bills | is in the minimum strength fixed for | I the National Guard under the pro | posed federalization proviso. The ; Senate bill provides for 280,000, while j the House bill calls for 425,000 in live ; years. 777.000 in War Time The report on the Senate bill lays stress on its proposal for a third force, to take in men who for any reason would be found not in the ranks of the regul&rs or the National Guard. This is described as a purely federal volun teer force and incomparable to a conti nental army. A total strength of 261.000 in this force is provided for. The House bill ajms at. the same force through authorization OT the training camp movement, which has been in progress for two years. The full strength of the defensive armies provided under the Senate bill would be 777,000 men in war times, exclusive of reserves. Army Bill Is Declared Not Effective by Baker " Special to the Telegraph Washington, March 18. Debate in the House of liopresentatives yes terday on the army reorganization bill was enlivened by serious differences in estimates made by Chairman Hay, of the Committee on Military Affairs, and the army war college of the num ber of trained and partly trained men in the United States available for military service. Bepresentatlve Augustus P. Gard-1 ner, of Massachusetts, forced the issue by producing a letter from Newton D. I Baker, the new Secretary of War, j containing figures of the nation's im mediate war strength radically con tradictory of those furnished by Mr. Hay. Secretary Baker's estimate of men was 851,090 less than Chairman Hay's estimate. Apperson Motor Car Agency Assumed by E. L. Cowden The Apperson Is no stranger In tills j community.

Colonel J. E. Bennett and W. J. Randall, members of the local firm, and W. J. Stewart, organizer of the project, closed negotiations this morn ing for this work, which is to cost approximately $700,000. Excavating will be commenced at once. "The work on excavating the speed way will consume about four months. It will be completed first and the race track will then be constructed. The enterprise will entail the building of a plant and machinery on the part of Bennett and Randall at a cost of SIOO,OOO. Five hundred men will be employed in the excavation and drain age work alone. Air. Randall will have active charge. The contract was secured by the local firm through Graham, Burham and Co., of Chicago, architects who drew ,th<; plans for the speedway and State fair buildings and also for the Chicago World's fair buildings. "The entire cost of constructing the buildings, speedway and racetrack will be more than $1,500,000. The site of the fair covers 450 acres, front ing a mile and a half on the Susque hanna river. It is along the main line of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The course of the speed way is two miles in length and will be the fastest in the world. Sixty thou sand people can be accommodated within its walls. Indian Motorcycle Frames Being Built Heavier of Chrone Vanadium Steel "The heavier gauge frames that are now built into Indian motorcycles, forged as they are out of chrome va nadium steel, the strongest known fa tigue resisting metal, insure the rider a machine that will withstand the hardest shocks of any road," says Howard Z. Rosa of the West End Electrical and Cycle Company, repre senting the Indian machine here. "The tubing used which was for-! merly 83 thousandths of an inch in I thickness is now about 112 thou-I sandths. Closer tlttingH of the joints I are made now, allowing a difference of j only five thousandths of an inch be- j tween two pieces which are brought! together. It would be possible to braze ! successfully with 10 thousandths of j an inch allowance, but the art has been j so improved within recent date that I the brazing now is accomplished with only five thousandths variation. As a further detail showing advance ment, the fusion point in these opera tions now is 1,750 degrees, whereas the j best bicycle manufacturer for many years considered 1,400 high enough. The motorcycle frame, of course, is put to much more severe vibration j stresses in rapid travel over llie road j than any bicycle ever was, besides i carrying the weight of the engine, j The vibration is reduced to a mini- I mum by the cradle springs which in sulate motor and rider from the shocks of the road, but a good deal is | expected of the frames nevertheless, i It is a tribute to the improved frames that in spite of the racking usage to ! which they have been subjected in transcontinental performances, they! have come through in perfect condi- i tion."
