Wilson Reluctant to Send
Bigger Army Than Ship
ping Can Supply.
FIGURES READY SOON
Recommendations Based on
Data Cleaned May Be
Made Next Week.

Secretary of War Bakers plans for
big scale army expansion do not ap-
pear to be maturing as rapidly as
was expected when he returned from
Europe a week ago. The delay in
getting the legislative machinery into
motion to provide for the increases is
attributed to the White House. Presi-
dent Wilson is said TO insist that the
contemplated expansion be made to
conform to the shipping facilities. The
Cabinet is understood to have accept
ed this view yesterday.
Cargo ships for 1 Transport.
1t is said to have been demonstrate
ed that four ships in constant service
are required for the proper main
tenance of every single shipload OF
soldiers sent across the Atlantic. The
available tonnage, taking into con-
sideration that part OF the shlpbuild-
ing program which will mature in
the next few months win provide for
an army of 35OO.OOO.
More than 100000 men have al
ready been called to the colors. The
plan now being worked out with the
approval of the administration is un-
derstood to request an increase of
approximately 100000.
Congress is thoroughly aroused
over the menace represented by the
recent progress OF the German armies
and may insist upon raising the es-
Inmates. it is said. Several members
-
have expressed the opinion that ex-
pansion on a basis of 100000 men
should be undertaken without delay.
1t is advocated that the increases
should be on a scale that would pro-
vide training for a considerable force
which could be held in the United
States for eventualities IL not needed
abroad.
Difference on Age Limit.
There is also a serious difference Of
opinion concerning the age limit for
drafted men. Secretary Baker re-
turned from France thoroughly Inn
bued with the idea that the active
fighting forces should consist OF
young men only. In army circles Il
is thought he will advocate legisla-

years, thus making II worth while to
