HUGE ARMY FOR ACROSS SEA

Billion More May Be Raised from In

Army Drafts Will Be Made-First
Million Men to Come from 100000
Drafted, National Guard and Regu-
lars.
WASHINGTON An American
army Of 100000 men for service
abroad at once, instead of the 100000
contemplated for the first draft, is
foreshadowed by the governments re-
quest for an additional $5,000,0 100000
made to the senate finance committee.
The first million men are to be
made UP of the first draft army of
100000, the national guard and the
regulars. 1t is improbable that the
first draft will be increased, but the
government is arranging its finances
for other drafts without the necessity
of going to congress again for money.
Additional 100000 to Allies.
Secretary McAdoo, committee men,
bers stated, told the finance commit
tee it was estimated that an addition
al credit of $2,000,O00,00O to be loan
ed to the allies also would be request
ed.
In addition to the war and navy esti-
mates, members of the senate apprO-
priations committee said the shipping
rI o1r cub
mates for additional appropriations of
$500,000,000. For the board $800,000,r.
900 already has been authorized.
Estimates for revenues in the war
tax bill provide only for the first $780,
900 men for eight months beginning
July 1. The new estimates are design
ed to provide for the first army of a
half million for an entire year, and, in
addition, for twelve months expendi-
lures caused by the second call of
100000 men, because it would be nee
essary to buy their equipment before
or soon after they are drafted.
In addition to the war departments
additional estimates, the navy depart
ment is preparing estimates calling
for 500, 100000 additional.
Billion More in Taxes.
1t was learned unoff1cially that one
plan under consideration is raise by
taxation of billion dollars more than
the bill now provides and to authorize
the government to make new loan of
s2,5OO,O 100000.
Whether the loan would be in the
form of new bonds or short terms GER
tificates has not been determined nor
has the rate of interest.
The new taxes probably will be
raised from excess profits, estates and
income taxes.
Future of Bill in Doubt.
Until the war and navy estimates
are complete it is impossible to say
when the greatest revenue raising
measure ever considered by the gov
eminent will go forward
After hearing Secretary McAdoo,
the committee agreed to hold up the
bill until the new war estimates are
received.
Official figures are said to show that
excess profits in the United States are
now at the rate of $5,000,000,000 a
year.
