MORE THAN
100000 MEN
in LINE NOW
In Less Than Three Months the Uni
ted States Has Built Up Nucleus
Of Splendid Army

WASHINGTON-M than 100000
men have volunteered in the American
army and navy during the period OF
less than three months that has e1aps-
ed since war was declared to exist.
The army, navy and national guard
represented an aggregate strength of
little more than 100000 men when the
war resolution was adopted. Today
between 100000 and 100000 are en-
rolled in the various branches Of the
fighting service and the great ma
jority of them are armed, equipped
and under training. They will be
joined at the end of the summer by
nearly 100000 men selected for the
new national army from the millions
registered for war duty June 5.
First ut the Front
The regular army totaled a little
more than 100000 men three months
ago; it is nearing the 250,000 mark
today and war department officials,
backed by the press of the country,
are bending every effort to bring 1t UP
to 100000 during the present week
The immediate need, adminfstra-
ton officials believe, is to- bring the
regular army up to its full strength
without delay. These are the first
line troops, the men who will be the
first Americans to face the German
hosts. They will be the bone and
sinew of General Pershing's army,
and there must be no delay in getting
them ready to go.
Asks for 10000 Men
President Wilson has designated
the present week as recruiting week
for the regulars. Secretary Baker
has sought the aid of all newspapers
to the end that 10000 men shall be
enrolled before June 80. No explana-
ton of the need for getting the men
by that time has been given, but it
has been assumed that it has to do
with getting forces to Europe.
The government has found the
press eager to aid in making the ma
lion ready for war. With the news
papers of each locality taking up the
for men as a local matter
he filling up of the ranks on schedule
,ime is regarded is assured.

That was the question foremost at
the MONDAY luncheon today. So many
OF the outside points are still to be
heard from, and the canvass even. in

being complete, that definite figures
are still lacking.

To this must be added the $S64.00
