the navy to the fullest extent of eff
cheney to cope with the submarine
menace, and the raising of great
army on the principle of universal
liability to service-the first incre-
ment of which is to be $4,000 men.
Most Pressing Problems
AS the cabinet assembled, mem
bers said the three most pressing
problems facing the government
were:
The raising Of sufficient money to
finance the war operations of the
United States and extend credits to
the Entente Allies.
The raising of large army.
The provision of adequate means of
fighting German submarines.
The position of this government, as
authoritatively outlined today, is that
the best move toward peace which
can be made by the German govern
ment is the establishment of universal
suffrage i'll the German empire and
the creation of ministry responsible
to the people rather than to the EN-
peror.
Government officials here consider
it uncomfortable that the United
States could enter into a peace con-
ference such as previously outlined
by Germany unless there was some
assurance first that any agreements
made would be adhered to.
The council of national defense and
its advisory commission in joint ses-
sion continued the work of mobiliza-
ton of the national resources to
bring the government of the German
empire to terms and end the war; as
the president expressed it.
The war department and the army
general staff was ready to present to
congress its plans for raising an army
just as soon as the legislative body
asks for it.

Horsepower.

Horsepower, which Is term adopt
ed as a unit in estimating force, Is
strictly theoretical and is much great.
er than most horses have the strength
to perform. 1t is the force required
to raise $4,000 pounds one foot high
in one minute. A rough way to est
mate the power Of steam engine is
to multiply together the area of the
piston in inches, the mean steam pres
sure In pounds per square inch, the
length Of stroke in feet and the num-
Der Of strokes per minute and divide
tho product by $4,000.

Vast Unoreanized Forces.

While the present organized forces
are minute, the reserve man power of
the United States is more vast than
that of any white nation except Rus
STA.
According to the census Of 1910
(since when the increase has been
great, the reserve militia of the Unit
ed States, by which is meant the males
aged between eighteen and forty-four
years, not included in the organized
forces, amounted to 20,53S,347 Wen.
