more rapidly than has been planned.
the bulk OF the training will be done
across the Atlantic, and the drafting
process on this side will be acceler-
ated. the contents OF the cantonments
which have been filled with troops OF
the first draft being gradually emp
tied into the transports to make way
for the second and third draft armies.
So much for what the allies appar-
emily want, but the question Is not
one of mere announcement OF policy.
The submarine menace may be on the
way to solution, but ships are not
built overnight, and tonnage depends
not alone on material, but on that
very undependable factor-iabor. Es-
Inmates can be made, therefore, with
some degree OF accuracy. Generally
II is predicted here that 1t VIII take
at least a year to transport a million
men, but there are high hopes that
this number will have reached France
by the summer OF next year.
Unexplained Here.
Why the British premier should ex-
press publicly an ignorance OF Ameri-
can plans in this respect Is unex-
planned here though the theory Is ad-
vanced that he believes 1t pelitic to
prod America very much as Lord
did recently by his query
as to the whereabouts OF Americas
six millions tons OF shipping
More and more is the feeling grow
ing here that the war is only begin
ming, that the allies are only now
getting together. and that while they
are preparing fer three years more
of war, they are bending every effort
toward a military decision during the
year 1918.
