Recruits To Be Summoned Grad
ua|ly During 1918 To Com
pIete Existing Units.
PLAN NO new DIVISIONS
Men Needed to Fill to Full Strength
Divisions Slated for Early De-
parture to Europe and For
placement Purposes.

Washington, March Sit is just
learned that war department plans
do not call for the creation of any
additional divisions in 1918, though
large number of men will be called
out during thu present year to fill up
the army and complete its organl-
zatiOn.
The announcement concerning the
second draft expected soon from Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder, may
outline the manner in which the L.
OOO, 900 men-probably not much in ex-
cess of 800,O0O-are to be summoned
gradually during the year to complete
the existing organizations.
Delay in the announcement as to
the next draft is understood to be
due to uncertainty as to the method
to be followed in allotting quotas to
the states. The Senate already has
passed, and the House military COM
mittee has favorably reported an
amendment to the law to base the
quota on the number of men in Class
1, instead of on the total registration
of a state.
Two AIIotments Prepared.
This change is regarded as certain,
but to avoid further delay. schedules
of allotments under both systems have
been prepared at the provost marshal
generals office ready to go out as
soon as final action is taken.
AS to the date of the second draft,
members of congress from agricul'
tural sections have been practically
assured that no withdrawal of men
from civil life was contemplated that
would embarass harvesting.
1t has been indicated, however, that
relatively small number of men must
be called to the cOlOrs prior to June l.
That process is expected to start In
April, when equipment, clothing and
quarters will be available. The men
are needed to fill up full strength
divisions slated for early departure
to Europe, and also for field army
and corps troops not attached to d.
visions.
Needed to Replace Casualties.
The replacement detachments also
must go forward at an accelerat1ng
rate since American troops are now
actually holding a sector OF the
French front and men are being killed
or wounded in action every day.
The completion of the full program
Of the War department without Great
ing any additional divisions probably
will absorb in the neighboShood OF
100000 men. The extent to which 1t
has been necessary to increase artil-
lery quotas throughout the army, and
to add special units of all sorts has
surprised every officer and accounts
for the existing shortage to large
extent.
The number of replacement troops
necessary is worked out in scientific
way, based on experience at the 'front.'
A fixed percentage for each arm OF
the service is established. Among the
noncombatant arms, this Is very
small; but it is quite high among the
front line troops.

Date of Drive Doubtful.
To others it appears probable that
no offensive will be undertaken on any
considerable scale before May 1. They
found that view ON reports that tho
French offensive in 1916 started in
too early. Guns and supplies could
not be brought forward to consolidate
all the ground the troops were able
to wrest from German control.
Meanwhile there has been less dis
cussicn Of a German offensive. There
are observers Mere who have never
been convinced that the Germans
actually intended to attempt another
drive at the channel ports or at Paris.
To these officers, the admitted concen-
tration of German forces has seemed a
defensive rather than an offensive
step. They believe that the German
general staff fotesawta great Allied
effort this year and were moving to
offset it.
Allied Line Superior.
While much has been said, both Of
flcially and unofficially. Of an expect
ed German offensive, nothing as to
probable aggressive measures by the
Allied forces has como over the cables
This fact has attracted great at.
