ARMY FORCE TO Be
TWO MILLION SOON
NEW WAR PROGRAM. INCLUDING
DRAFT CHANGES, NOW BE.
ING PREPARED.

Washington dispatches say it is
now virtually certain that Gen. Foch,
supreme commander of the Allied ar
mics, will have at least 100000
American troops to supplement his
allied armies before the present fight
ing season closes.
Secretary Baker announced recent
ly that the war departments new
program, embracing enlarged army
draft ages to increase the reservoir
of fighting men and plans for larger
mobilization of the army than any
yet undertaken, would soon be ready
for congress.
He would give no details, but the
plans probably aim at getting under
arms without delay total force not
far short of the 25,0OO,00O figure
widely discussed in congress when
the subject was last under considera-
tion.there.
With probably not much more than
225,000 American troops engaged in
the present battle, but with virtually
100000 others either in France or
Fastening across the ocean to join in
the fight, Gen. Foch has been able to
turn the tables ON the enemy and
strike blow that has changed the
whole trend of the war
But even with such favorable con-
ditions on the battle front there Is
increased need of haste, in the opin-
ion of officials, in getting full Ameri-
can man power ready to supplement
the efforts that appear now to be TAX
ing shape toward hurling the enemy
back all along the front and begin

COUNCIL PROPOSES
TEST FOR LOYALTY
ALSO URGES PEOPLE TO AVOID
VIOLENCE IN HANDLING SUS-
PECTED CASES.

The State Council of Defense pro-
poses that the following test of 10y
atty be applied to all candidates for
political offices this fall:
THAT candidate, in or out of con-
gress, or that citizen can be regarded
as loyal who since the declaration of
war has by word and act unreserved-
ly supported and will support the
government in the vigorous prosecu-
cisive victory. and who has not at
tempted to destroy allied unity and
effort by attacks upon nations fight
ing with us against a common en-
envy"
In lengthy statement the council
also urges the people not to resort
to violence or mob action in cases of
suspected disloyalty, but to conduct
hearings where the accused may be
given fair treatment and an opportu-
nifty for explanation.
All cases of disloyalty involving
violation of the law will be promp, ~
and vigorously prosecuted by the
and those cases which do not involve
violation should be handled in public
hearings, it says. recommending that
where the accusation is proved be
yond a reasonable doubt" the pun
ishment be merely the stigma of a
complete or partial ostracism.

council continues, referring to the
violent methods some times used, "is
the all too common tendency to ques-
tion a mans loyalty because his
views as to methods or policy do not
accord with those of the majority.
There are in the state of Washington
today many loyal citizens singing
with resentment born of unjust ac-
cusations of disloyalty hastily cast
on them by those with whose opinions
these unfortunate ones did not hap
pen to agree.
1--WE should hesitate to admit the
prevalence Of this tendency. were it
not for the fact that many instances
have come to our attention where pa
triotic work of various kinds has been
retarded to a material degree by such
a condition arising locally.
1--WE are convinced that, except for
a small fraction of one per cent. our
population is loyal and whole-heart-
edly supporting our government in
prosecuting the war. But we are
still selfish, the objects of the gov
ernment in carrying out many of it's
policies are still misunderstood by
