Washington, April 5-Detailed
plans of the War Department for
raising an army numbering mill
ions, if that is necessary to
bring the government of the
German empire to terms" were
placed in President Wilson's
hands today in the form of a bill
prepared by the general staff
and reviewed and revised in part
by Secretary Baker and the gen.
eral officers who are his military
advisers.
The president, as commander
in chief, already has approved
the basis adopted for the war
army, and preparations have
been made at the War Depart
mept kfor presenting the meas
ure to the military committees
of Congress. Secretary Baker
said today it would go to the
House and Senate committees as
soon as the war resolution had
been adopted. Maj.-Gen. Scott,
chief of staff, will explain the
plan and the military reasons for
the need to train the number of
men thesbill will produce. This
is believed to be mot less than
100000 to be trained within
two years.
In the Navy Department Sec
retary Daniels announced during
the day that contracts for ap-
proxinnately 200 submarine chas-
ers and coast patrol boats had
been let and additional contracts
were being tsigned each day.
Preparations to take into the
service a huge fleet of small mo-
tor craft for inshore patrol work
also are being completed.
Mr.. Daniels conferred today
with Capt. Wilson, recently COM
manding the super-dreadnought
Pennsylvania, but now assigned
as chief of the entire patrol SER
vice on the Atlantic seaboard.
Conferences also were held with
the engineering experts Of the
department as to the possibility
of increasing the number of no.
foot patrol craft to be ordered:
The department will order all
that can be built and is receiving
new proposals constantly.

the enormous amount Of book

1t shall be lawful for any civil
officer having authority under
the laws of the United States, or
any State, Territory. District,
or possessions of the United
States, to arrest offenders sum-
marily and deliver him into the
custody of the Military authori-
ties of the United States.
Authority of citizens other
than civil officers to arrest de-
serters.
Tne Statute comforting author
ity upon civil officers to appre-
hend and deliver deserters
should not be constructed as

their apprehension by a citizen

Military Officers. but the legis-
lation could be treated as pro-
viding an additional means of
securing the arrest Of deserters
by comforting authority upon
civil officers to apprehend them
without Military Order leaving
the former method still legal.
The offer of a reward for the
apprehension and delivery of a
deserter, coupled with the act OF
congress which provides for the
payment of such a reward, is
considered sufficient authority
for the arrest of a deserter by a
citizen.
A reward of $50 will be paid
to any civil officer, or civilian for
the apprehension and delivery,
to the proper Military authority
at Military Post or Camp.
A soldier absenting himself
from his command for more than
ten days without leave from his
commanding officers is consider

nation, will be exempted as a
class.
Army officers indicated today
that the governments policy
leaves no place for volunteer
forces. They are prepared also
to urge any premature effort to
send an army abroad to fight. To
be of any aid in the world strug-
gle, they say only a very con-
siderable force of fully trained
and highly eqipped and organiz-
ed troops, with adequate indie
pendent supply lines, should go
to Europe. To do otherwise, one
officer declared, might make A
merican troops menace rather
than aid to the entente armies.
It would further tax the already
heavily strained French and Brit
ish supply systems.
The council of national defense
and it's advisory commission will
meet again tomorrow in joint
session. The commissioners are
toiling night and day to make
ready in every way for the activ-
tiles that will come quick on the
heels of the adoption of the war
resolution. Definite agencies are
springing up almost. overnight,
though the country's great task
will be carried down through

I ment's army plan is gradually
becoming clear, although the de-
tails are being withheld until
Ithey are sent to congress. In
cluded in the scheme must be
the. funds and equipment neces-
sary to establish military train
ing on basis never before at
tempted in the United States.
Warfare has changed in the
European struggle. Trench fight
ing is the predominating feature
of the battle of today. Mimic
trench warfare, realistic to the
last possible degree, must re-
place much~of the old open or er
skirmish drill, supplemented
with hard marching and vigorous
physic Il exercises to harden the
men as quickly as possible.
There are many indications
that it is proposed to build up a
fighting machine composed ex-
clusively of men in their twen-
ties and each man free from
home responsibilities or cares
that might -embarrass his soldier
ly qualities. A perfect military
weapon is to be fashioned, Off
GERS say, if the army's plan is
accepted by Congress. 1t will
take time and money, but will
furnish such a force as will make
it's weight tell against any troops
in the world.
Presumable the Oldest men
within the prescribed limit would
be called out first. These classes
would yield the smallest number
for training, for the percentage
of men to assume family respon-
sibilfties goes up rapidly after 20
years is. reached. They would be,
however, men in their most vig-
orous years, ready for any hard
ship. Each succeeding increment
of 500, 900 called out for training
would probaly have reached the
same stage of physical develop
'ment by the time the training
had been given. Physical
standards of the regular army
will be rigidly maintained.
REGISTER ALL SINGLE MEN.
Registration of all single men
between the fixed ages will be a

and municipal authorities may be
sought under the'plans for. state
