WILSON TO HAVE
NO-LIMIT ARMY
POWER FOR WAR
The House Committee Unani
mously Votes to Give Him
Free Rein in Draft
FUNDS TO BE AMPLE, TOO
Appropriation Bill Carrying
110,500,000 to Permit the
Shifting of Money
Washington. May 24.—The man
power of the United States was mort
gaged yesterday by an amendment
written into the Army appropriation
bill bv the House Committee on Mil
itary Affairs, which reads:
"The President is hereby author
ized to draft, subject to the pro
visions of the selective draft service
act and all acts amendatory thereto,
as many men from year to year as
can be equipped, trained and used
during each fiscal year until the suc
cessful termination of the war."
Adoption of this amendment was
by unanimous vote of the House
committee and constitutes another
\ ictory for the administration. When
Secretary Baker first proposed that
unlimited power be given to the
President to draft men without ref
erence to specific numbers opposi
tion. led by Chairman Dent, devel
oped.
Secretary Baker was again before
the House committee and reiterated
his argument that unlimited author
ity would have a tremendous "psy
chological effect" in this country and
abroad. Soon thereafter the House
committee adopted the language
which commits Congress to support
an army of any size which the Pres
ident may deem necessary, whether
it be 5.000.000 or 10,000.000.
The House Committee completed
the rough draft of the Army appro
priation bill, and it will be reported
to-morrow. The bill will carry ap
proximately $10,300,000,000. This
amount Is exclusive of the large
amounts for heavy ordnance which
will come from the Appropriations
Committee in the fortifications bill
and will amount to at least $3,000.-
000.000. according to present esti
mates.
Under pressure of wartime condi
tions the Military Committee also
adopted a legislative rider to the
Army bill which practically makes
the entire appropriation a "lump
sum." This provision goes even fur
ther than the request of the War
Department, which asked for vir
tual lump sum appropriations for
the Quartermaster and Ordnance
bureaus.
The rider provides that appropria
tions for the next fiscal year shall be
interchangeable as between bureaus
and activities of the War Depart
ment; that is. funds for one bureau
or use may be diverted to another
in the event of military necessity.
This gives the War Department
practically a free hand to spend the
record-breaking amount appropri
ated in any manner which inures to
the successful conduct of the war.
