basis of the recent surveys Of the situation.
 Later the presidents war cabinet met with him at the White House and went over the ground thoroughly. Sec retary Baker remained more than an hour with the president after the other members of the war cabine. had left.
 In the house Chairman Dent of the military committee introduced a bill that would authorize the mobilization and organization of 100000 s>lective service men instead of the 1000 900 to which the government is limited by the existing act
 2.5oo.0oO Now Available
 Mir Dent said, the measure was his own and that he had not consulted the war department on it.
 Under the new classification scheme. there are understood tO be l S0l 000 men Immediately available for active service in class one.
 That estimate is base9 on the re- turns of numerous states and the law of averages. It excludes all men rated as fit only for limited snecial service. all delinquents. slated for immediate induction into class one when appre- hended. and all of the sO-called rem edisl cases the men who will be ft for active service after operations or medical treatment who have reached -21 years since the draft act was passed and who will be brought in under pending amendments Probably the total of electives in class one will prove tO be 2.500.

 Defer Aoe Question
 This is the first reservoir from which men will be drawn 10 hll up the armies. It is conceivable that class one will be exhausted in time. but not that 1t would fail 10 furnish all the men who can be shipped 10 France before congress meets again. For this reason it is regarded as probable that the question of increasing age limi,s of the draft act or of drawing upon class two can be deferred until con eress again convenes.
 Military precautions forbid discla- sure of the rate at which the army is being sent 10 the front. but Mir. Baker will be able to give the house com mittae tomorrow some interesting figures in this regard
 Tn pressing forward the troops. the war department. it is learned. has abandoned it's nreviOus policy of com uleting organization of a unit before it goes over. Under the new plan. reg iments or larger units go forward on schedule even if thev are short a con sidersble part of their full enlisted strength They will be filed up on the other side.
