PREMIER OF HUNGARY.
ALLIED NOTE OUTLINED
PRESIDENT CALLS COL HOUSE
FOR CONFERENCE ON LATEST
DEVELOPMENTS.
..e...rn xew.paper Union New. ser,iee.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Coincident
with the receipt here OF confidential
advices giving the broad outlines OF
the entente reply to President VII
sons note proposing a discussion OF
peace terms, Col 4. NJ. House, the
Presidents friend and adviser, ar
rived at the White House. The col
onel's last visit was followed by the
dispatch OF the Presidents note
At the same time press dispatches
from London told of speech by
Count Julius Andrassy, former pre-
mier OF Hungary, stating that the
central powers had given or would
give President Wilson a statement OF
their peace terms, and that the en-
tente allies could obtain them from
him.
Officials at the White House and
the State Department would not dis
cuss these developments further than
to say definitely that no further move
on the part OF the American govern
ment would be determined until the
entente reply was received. II was
mind open on the question.
1t was not disclosed whether the
administration considers that the un-
favorable action of the entente has
left the way open for the confidential
exchange of terms between the op-
posing groups Of nations.
In view of the delicate nature of
the negotiations. extreme secrecy is
being observed by the few officials
in close touch with the situation.
Both in Germany and entente cir
eles pessimism over the outlook was
expressed, The President, however.
was understood to think that the
moves already made will be helpful
ultimately. regardless of the immedi-
ate consequences.

An Army of $500, 900 Men

CECRETARY OF WAR BAKER has dis
~ closed to the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee the program Of the administration
with respect to size Of the army which 1t
hopes to put under arms before the close OF
the first year of the war. He has asked for
money enough to equip force OF 2,300,O
men in all branches Of the service.
And this may be done without writing an
other line Of law. The present authorization
is sufficient for the present purposes Of the
government All the legislation needed Is
that making the necessary appropriations to
arm, equip, clothe, feed. train and transport
that many men. These appropriations are
about to be made. The House already has
passed the new deficiency bill containing an
aggregate appropriation, for all purposes, Of
about S7.0O0,0O0.000. The Senate amend
ments will increase this by more than $780,,
100000. AS has been pointed out in these
columns more than once the selective draft
law Is elastic measure. On its face 1t
merely provided for the calling to tho colors
OF 100000 men In two increments of $780,
600 each. But 1t proceeds further than that.
1t authorizes the President to call out enough
men in addition to maintain the original force
at full war strength, also enough men to fill
the ranks OF tho regular army and the Ma
tional Guard to full war strength. There Is
no limit to the extent the President may
go in the first instance. For example, he
added 1 900 to the first 500, 900 increment,
making a total Of 100000 men who have
been drafted. If similar number OF men
are called into the service the second in
crement 100000 soldiers will have been
provided under the present draft law. Even
now We have an army Of slightly more than
100000 men without counting a single
National Army trooper. The two forces
combined would make slightly more than
100000. the number which the Secretary
of War asks appropriations with which to
finance. This is great army for the United
than any country has ever raised, equipped
and muntioned within single year. 1t is
now quite clear why the War Department
proposed to the Governors Of the several
States that the entire enrolment of men un-
der the selective draft law be examined at
once. The army wants to know In a definite
and final way just how many men 1t may
count upon under the present law Approx
mately 100000 men are registered Con-
sderably moro than 100000 have been
examined in order to raise 100000 soldiers
for the first increment. More than half the
