Washington, July 25.-An American

contemplated for the first draft is fore.
shadowed by the governments request
for an additional $4,000, ,OO0, 900 made
to the senate finance committee.
The first million men are to be made

1t is improbable that the firSt draTt
will be increased, but the government
Is arranging its finances for other
drafts without the necessity of going
to congress again for money.
New estimates for $4,000 900, 900 for
war expenses held up the war tax bill
just as it was about to be reported to
the senate by the finance committee.
Secretary McAdoo told the commit
tee that the war and navy departments
| had notified him they would need that
great sum in addition to the money
already provided and he asked that the
bill be held up while it was determined
when the money would be spent and
how 10 should be raised Mr.. McAdoo
said he did not discuss details with
the committee.
1t was learned unofficiaNy that one
plan under consideration is to raise
a billion dollars more than the bill
now provides by taxation and to au-
thorfZe the government to make a new
loan of s2,500,000, 900.
Whether the loan would be In the
form OF new bonds or short term Ger.

are complete 1t is impossible to say
when the greatest revenue raising
measure ever considered by the gov
eminent will go forward.
