Washington, March 2S.-PresideHt
Wilson has taken all the steps within
his power to bring the navy to it's
maximum strength for the present. He
may still ask congress that it be raised
to 100000 men.
He still has several ways open
whereby he can bring the land forces
to greater strength, though speculation
is that he will get his main crease by
asking for volunteers or in having
congress pass compulsory training

The means whereby the larger array
could be obtained are:
Increase of the militia from 10000
men to full war strength-450,000
lsIcrease of the army from 20,000 Ntt
war strength, 170 600, by bringing com
