STRENGTH. OF navy
T0BE QuADRUPLED
Bills to Create an Army of a
Million Men Drafted-tO
Be Public Soon

Washington, April 5.-The vast
scope of the administrations plans for
a war army and navy we're revealed
today after a military budget of s3,-
400,0OO,00O had been submitted to con-
gress. In broad terms it is proposed
to quadruple the enlisted strength of
the navy and to have in service with
In year an army OF u million trained
men. including the first 100000 to be
brought to the colors by selective
conscription. Bills to carry out the
program already are in the hands of
the congressional military and naval
committees.
The budget is divided so that $2,-
932,OOO,0O0 goes to the army and
Sass, 100000 to the navy. These sums
are in addition to the regular army
appropriation bill of s240,0OO,o0 and
appropriations totalling $517,273, ,s02
already available for the navy.
The navy's task will be to raise the
present enlisted strength of $500
men to 10000 in the shortest pos
sible time. 1t is estimated it will cost
$175. S55,761 to do this. A lump sum
appropriation Of $292,53s, 79O is asked
to cover new construction and all
other material expenses.
The army bill, drafted by the gen.
eral staff, has been approved by Presi-
dent Wilson and the department de-
cided today to make it public imme-
diately upon passage of the war reso-
luton by the house.

Plans to Raise Army
Regulars to Be Filled Up to War Strength by Recruiting
and Draft-Young Men From 19 to rs to Be
Conscripted in 100000 .Increments -

Washington, April 5.-How the gov
enment plans to raise war army of a
million men within year and 1000, 900
within two years was disclosed upon
the house.
The bill prepared by the general
staff and approved by the president
for submission to congress provides for
the immediate filling up of the regu-
lar army and national guard to war
strength of more than 100000 by draft
unless enough volunteers enlist quickly,
and for bringing into the service by
late summer of the first 100000 Of the
new force Of young men between the
ages OF 10 and 25 years to be called to
the colors by selective conscriptions.
In drafting its program, the staff rec
ognized the fact that the United
States must start at the beginning
and train first an army of 100, 900 men
and n-commissioned officers to un-
dertake the training of the thousands
Of youths who will enter the service
with no notion of military duty or
life.
Expansion Of the present regular
army to it's full war strength Of esq.,
600 enlisted men and 1l,7OO officers
means many new regiments of all arms
to be created by dividing existing reg
siments and filling each to half war
strength with volunteers or conscripts.
The national guard regiments. all of
which can be called in the federal serv-
ice under the existing laws. will have
approximately $4,000 men and 10, 800
officers at war strength. No new reg
iments- of the guard would be organ
lied and the full limit of the national
defense act would be invoked to wipe
out and distinguish between federal

These two steps would provide a
total force of $4,000 men and o2,OOO
officers, to be supplemented by re-
cruit organization for each unit, max
ing an additional 100000 men under
training. but to be held in reserve to

Will Be Raised by Increased
Taxes and Bond Issue
Easily Obtained.

Washington, April 5.-Congress was
asked today to provide Immediately
$3,502,5l7,0O0 to finance the war for
one year. approximately as follows:
For the war department, $685., 537,-
934
For increasing the authorized
strenth Of the navy to 10000 men and
the marine corps to 10000 men, $175,-

For other necessary expenditures
for the naval establishment at the di-
rection and discretion of the presi-
dent. $292,53S.790, and
For the coast guard, SO that it may
perfect and bring to a high state Of
efficiency its telephone system of
coastal communication, 100000.
How to Be Raised.
A bond issue, increased taxation,
including higher taxes on estates.
large incomes, whiskey, beer, tobacco
and new methods Of taxation probably
will be resorted to to raise the huge
amount.
Unofficial estimates to the federal
reserve board are to the effect that
the banks of the federal reserve sys-
tenn are inasl position to absorb up to
$4,000, 100000 Of war bonds at once at
a rate of interest not exceeding 3h
per cent. Secretary McAdoo author
lied the statement that he thought the
government would have no difficulty
in raising the necessary finances, but
declined to indicate the probable
methods that will be adopted.
The estimates We're couched in
general terms and lacking in details
The great total does not include pos
sible loans to the allies, part Of the
administrations program.
Chairman Simmons of the senate
finance committee intimated that
short term notes might be issued to
q limited extent to make Immediately
available a portion of the sum de-
sired.
Take Big Incomes.
Representative Rainey of Illinois,
ranking majority member of the ways
and means committee which will have
the final say in drafting the war rev.
enue bill before It's presentation to the
house, declared tonight that the in
come tax would probably be amended
SO as to furnish the government with
greatly increased revenues during the
war.
MY view is," he said, "that while
the war lasts no man should enjoy an
income Of more than $4,000 or $780,
600 a year and that the government
should take all over this amount. We
could obtain also 100000 900 addition
al annually by raising taxes on whis-
key and beer to the level with what
they were taxed in England before
the war started.
THE excess profits tax, now in
force, must be graduated, making it
heaviest on largest profits. The tariff
is impossible as souRce Of revenue
during the war"
Lowering OF the income tax exemp-
tion to $4,000 and possibly to $500 are
among the proposals under consid-
Grafton. What such action would
mean, one official said today, in ac-
tual revenue. could not be forecast
even approximately, because of lack of
information upon which to base an
estimate.
