Call for More Men Necessary
or Incomplete Divisions
Is Outlook.
$4,000 men NEEDED
Whole Fabric of Infantry Being Reon
ganized on New Warfare Plans
Division Fighting Strength
Now 27,50o.

Washington, Sept 2S.-When the
first increment of the National army
OF $4,000 men has been mobilized,
there is little doubt now that a large
deficiency of men will be shown.
Seventeen national guard divisions
must be brought up to war strength
and several special service forces or
number of drafted nen remaining at
the cantonments hardly will be suffi-
cient to organize the 16 National army
divisions to a full strength basis.
Whether incomplete divisions will
be formed or a call for more men is
sued has not been indicated.
Reorganlzing Entire Infantry.
Secretary Baker has said that de-
finite figures as to the number of Ma.
tional army men it would be necessary
to transfer to the national guard were
not available. Not only are these divi-
sions being organized for the first
time, but In the midst of that mobili-
ration the whole fabric of the infantry
army Is being reorganized on the new
trench warfare plans.
The fighting strength of the new
division is now fixed at 1880 men.
The II guard divisions on that basis
will have total strength of A. 500
men.
Guards Total Near 10000.
The guard probably brought into the
federal service a total of not more
than 100000 men, possibly less. II
will take, therefore at least 1877, 900
National army men to fill up the guard
divisions. Another 100000 of the Ma.
tional army will go to the air service
and certainly as many more to other
special services. That would leave not
more than 250.000 men to form the 16
National army divisions which should
have an aggregate war strength OF
$4,000

sunk in any previous week since the
February undersea campaign was
started by Germany was 16, IA mer-
chantmen OF 1000 tons and over, and
2 Of less than 1000 tons. This was

AFTER DRAFT EvADERS

Washington, Sept. 2S.-The war de-

The reward will be paid to any

ISSUES FIRST STATEMENT
War Department SENDS Out First
Official Bulletin.

Washington, Sept. 2S.-The Ameri-
can governments first official state
ment concerning operations in Europe
has been issued by Secretary Baker.
II says that while ascendancy on the
Western front has passed definitely to
The Allies, they are content merely to
wear down the enemy until the force
Of the American army makes itself
felt In the field.
Operations for the week ending
September p are reviewed without
reference to tn American force. The
statement follows:
AS the time draws near when mill
tary operations on large scale on
the Western front must come to a
standstill, owing to the approach OF
winter, it becomes evident that the
enemy does not feel himself In a posi-
ton to undertake the much-advertised
offensive action so often boasted of at
home during the past summer in order
10 end the war victoriously by Christ
mas"
The rest Of the statement is re-
hash of the official statements of the
various war Offices as to conditions on

London, Sept. 2s.-Any peace worth
having cannot be found In a cessation

pies affected.
Former Premier Herbert II. Asquith,
who has recently returned from a visit
to the Western front, made this declar-
alton In addressing a mass meeting
at Leeds under the auspices of the
War Aims committee. He described
the German reply to the Papal note
as teeming with 'nebulous and unctu.
GUS generalities," but giving no in
dication that Germany will take any
practical steps to open the road to
real and lasting peace.
He asked If Germany was ready To
restore French territory and to give
Belgium full independence, without
letters or reservations. A definite re-
ply to these questions, he said, would
be forth a whole column of "pious
platitudes."
