ment approving the army plan which
was presented to congress by the war
department, the president said: THE
hope OF the world is that when the

president said: The principal pur-
poses are to raise forces necessary
to meet the present emergency by
bringing the regular army and the ma.
tiOnal guard to full war strength. and
by adding additional forces that will
be needed. So the national army will
be composed OF three elements, the
regular army. the national guard and
the so.called additional forces. of
which all the first 100000 men are
to be authorized and later another in
crease of the same number.
The necessary men will be secured
for the regular army and and national
guard by volunteering until resort of
sclective draft is desired. The addi-
tional forces will be raised by selective
draft from men ranging in age from
10 to 25."
