man Of the conmi tee oil Ways and

ed thirty thousand men and that the ag-
gregate strength Of the army (or regu-
lar force) was on the l7th OF January
last, $500, an aggregate liable 10 daily
decrease from the expiration o. the term
of eulistmrnts, and to increase b. re-

was 10 1918 as follows: In February,
Is, s45 in June, II 500; in December,
34,525; and that the. average number
