plans of the war department for rails
ing an army numbering millions, IL
that Is recessary "to bring the gov
crnment of the German empire to
terms" We're placed in President vii.
sons hands today in the form of a bill
prepared by the general staff and re-
viewed and revised in part by Secre-
tary Baker and the general officers
who are his military advisers.
The president has approved the
basis adopted for the war army and
preparations have been made at the
war department for presenting the
measure to the military committee Of
congress Secretary Baker said today
II would go to the house and senate
committees as soon as the war reso-
luton had been adopted. Major Gen
cral Scott. chief of staff, will explain
the plan ard the military reasons for
the need to train the number cf men
the bill will produce This is believed
to be not less than two million to be
trained within two years
More Chascrs Provided
In the navy department Secretary
Daniels announced that contracts for
approximately two hundred subma-
line chasers or coast patrol boats had
teen let and additional contracts were
being siened each dav. Preparations
10 take into the service a nuge fleet
OF small motor craft for inshore pa
troll work also are being completed.
Mr., Daniels conferred today With
Captain Wilson. chiee of the patrol
service on the Atlantic seaboard. Cor
ferenccs also were held with the en-
.ineering experts Of the departments
as to the possibility of increasing the
number Of 11o-foot patrol craft to

The department will order al .ha;

posals constantly.
See Thru the Plans.
The scope of the war department $
plan is gradually becoming clear. In

funds and equipment necessary to

States. Mimic trench warfare, real

replace most of the old open order
skirmish drill, supplemented with
hard marching and vigorous physical
exercises to harden the men as
quickly as possible.
lnere are many indications that IL
is proposed to build up a fighting
machine composed exclusively of men
in their twenties and each man free
from home responsibilities or cares
that might embarrass his soldierly
qualities. A perfect military weapon
is to be fashioned, officers say. IL the
armys plan is accepted by congress.
II will take time and money. but
will furnish such a force as will make
its weight tell against any troops In
the world.
No Place for Volunteers.
Army officers indicated today that
the governments policy leaves no
place for volunteer forces. They are
prepared also to urge against any
premature effort to send an army
abroad to fight. To be of any aid in
the world struggle, they say, only q

 Several important and interesting matters were brought up in pr. God frey's monthly report of the work of this committee. The report was. in part, as follows:
 In regard to the matter of a hos pital train which was submitted to our committee. I would respectfully report that the general subject of hospital cars is now being handled by the surgeon general of the United States Army and the Special Committee of Military Equipment Stadards of the Railroad War Board. ,
 It has become quite problem with some of our hospitals to procure pu- pills physically and mentally suitable and with the requisite high school ed ucation. The matter of training for nurses assistants is also being taken up.
 The question of private buildings for the care of disabled soldiers is still under investigation. There seems to be no doubt that these will be supplied in abundance.
