ENGLAND CALLS
FOR MORE TROOPS
With Addition English
Army Will Reach Unprec-
edented Total of 1,186, 400.

London, Sept 10.-Premier AS
another half-million men of all ranks
to the regular army. The supple
mentary estimates issued in the form
of white paper asking parliament to
vote this increase say it represents
the probable excess beyond the SINH
lar increase voted August ), which
will be required for the army service.
This will bring the total of all ranks
in the army to 1,1S6,400 men, figure
unprecedented for Great Britain.
Premier Asquith said that 1884, 600
men, exclusive of the territorial
forces, had joined the army since
the declaration of war
In moving a resolution authorizing
the raising of an additional half-mil-
lion men, the premier said the time
has not come to relax efforts to OBJ
tain more troops. After the reserves
had been called out there were 40G,-
600 men with the colors. On August
6 he proposed that an additional half
million be recruited, making total
of 100000. This suggestion was ap
proved and the recruiting was so
successful that by September 9 49,
coo men had joined, making the to-
tai under arms only about 10000 less
than the 100000 planned for. The
second half-million asked for today
would bring the total army up to APP
proximately 100000 men.
