Continuing, Lord Kitchener said:
More than seventy battalions with

trained and organized in larger forma-

The empire with which We are at
war has called to the colors almost its
entire male population. The princip;e
we shall observe is this: That while
the maximum force undergoes con-
slant diminution, the reinforcements
We prepare will steadily and increas-

the field which in numbers will not be
less than in quality and not be I'M
worthy of the power and responsibility
of the British empire.
AT this stage l cannot say what
will be the limits of the force required
or what measures eventually may be-
come necessary to supply and main
tain it.
The scale of the field army when
we are now calling into being is large
and may rise in the course of the next
six or seven months to a total of thirty
divisions, to be continually maintaine
in the field
But if the war should be protracted
nd it's fortunes should be varied or
adverse, exertions and sacrifices be-
yond any which have been demanded
will be required from the whole ma

required, we are sure they will not b.

BY ASSoClAIED I6ESS-
Washington, July 2.-NaVal officers
today were discussing with gratifica-
ton Secretary Daniels announced in
tention to urge congress at its next

known as the personnel act under
which the "plucking board" picked
fifteen officers for compulsory retire
ment this year. Included in the list OF
those whose active careers were end
ed yesterday by the recommendation
Of the board were several captains
with distinguished records. While the
health of some of the officers "pick-
ed" had been regarded as somewhat
unsatisfactory, their condition was not
such as to warrant medical condem-
nation. The records of all of them
disclosed according to Secretary Dan
iels, that they were not untitled for
any naval service from the standpoint
of habit, temperament and profession
al ability.
Secretary Daniels hopes to have
congress pass legislation to readjust
the navy's personnel in order to elm
mate certain features of the present
law which. he considers objectionable.
With all the "palpa badly disQualified'
officers were eliminated, the secretary
hopes to so arrange the personnel that

OF the Thoroughly competent officers
now in the service.
The meetings of the "plucking
board, which are annual affairs, are
looked forward to with considerable
apprehension by navl officers.
