WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Mar 30
Plans to forward further prepared
ness measures for the army today
have begun to assume definite form.
AS the cabinet met for the last
time for the president before the as
sembllng of Congress, the consensus
of opinion was that the United States
was about to actively enter the war
against Germany. Officials take it
for granted, from the chancellor's
speech, that Germany will not aban-
don its ruthlessness.
Secretary Baker said the early
graduation of the upper class at West
Point was considered.
Secretary Redfield said he was pre-
pared to turn the ships and crews
of the coast geodetic survey over

ANY CHANGE IN THE U-BOAT PROGRAM

providing military training. but was
non-committal regarding the Cham
berlain plan to which he is under
stood to have some objections.
After leaving the White sHouse the
president said he was still hopeful
of endorsement of his measure, and
also expressed increased optimism
over prospects of passage by the
senate of some form of universal
training measure.
AS a result of his talk with the
president, Senator Chamberlain ex-
poets to make several important
amendments to his bill. particularly
with the idea of increasing the num-
ber of trained soldiers it would pro
duce in short period To this end
he proposes to raise the age limit
of youths subject to train from 19
to 20 years. to secure more mature
men and to begin the training per
iods sooner than provided In the
tentative bill. which proposes that
about 100000 youths be trained an
nually within six months continuous
service. .
Another amendment. the senator
said. would be to create SO divisions
in the country for the segregation
of the training work with facilities
for training an army division of from
$4,000 to 27.O00 men in each divis-
ional camp. While some of the
divisions. Sen. Chamberlain thought.
would have larger bodies under train
ing than others, he believed at least
100000 young men would be thus
obtained.
The Oregon senator impressed up
on the president that his plan would
not entail the enormous expense Of
the army general staff training bill,
He estimated that without providing
costly permanent barracks at train
ing camps and by having the stu
dents live in tents. the annual cost
of training 100000 men would be
roughly $156,OOO,OOO.
AS to the measures necessary for
increasing the army in an emer-
gency, Senator Chamberlain said that
under existing law, the president Is
authorized to increase the standing
army to its war strength of 270.00O.
or with auxiliaries aggregating a
regular force of about 100000. The
war strength of the National Guard
was estimated at about 100000 with
all forces fully enlisted. Thus COM
bined, the senator said, a trained
army of nearly three quarters Of a
million men could be provided with
out action by Congress.
When the regular army appropria-
tion bill reaches the senate, Senator
Chamberlain said he thought it would
be increased with or without specific
request from the war department, at
lease sufficiently to provide material
necessary for an army of 100000
men.
A change planned by the war de-
partment in the supply bill is to
shorten the time for accumulation
of reserve materials for the army.
The present bill provides for their
: purchase over a period of from
: four to five years, and the depart
ment is planning to ask that funds
; for this purpose be made immediate
iy available.
