Every Existing Cantonment in
Country Will Be Enlarged
and More May Be Built.
GREAT WAR PROGRAM
Secretary Baker Explains Military
Plans to House Committee--Na-
Men to Join Coiors.

Washington, May 6.-The tremen-
dous scope of the military program
upon which the United States is now
embarking was revealed for the first
time by Secretary of War Baker.
The house military committee was
told that every existing cantonment
in the country will be enlarged and
every national guard camp now being
rapidly emptied or already empty
will be used to full capacity.
1t is regarded as probable that
some new cantonments will be built
Ground has already been obtained for
expansion of the cantonments.
Fifteen billion dollars was asked of
Congress by Mr.. Baker to carry out
the program for the next fiscal year.
May Call First of Million Men.
simultaneously with Secretary Ba-
ker's appearance before the commit
tee, was the announcement that $780,
949 will be called to the colors in
May. This is the first increment of
the additional million troops which
Secretary Baker said would be sum-
moned at once, bringing the size of
the American army to almost 3,000,-
900 men
BY its summons the War depart
ment abandons its plan for assem-
bling men in even monthly incre-
ments of approximately 100000.
Under the original program it was
intended to call out not to exceed
$4,000 additional men during 1918.
The call for 10000 in April and
239, ,949 this month will bring out in
two months half of the number orig.
inally contemplated for the year. OF
ficials made it clear it is now the pur.
pose to mobilize all the men for
whom equipment and training facil.
tiles can be provided
Enough Men for Victory.
LET us avoid specific figures" Sec.
retary Baker again said "They i'm
ply limits. There is no limit We
will call out enough men to maze
victory certain. We will call them
as rapidly as they can be trained and
sent forward"
The May draft allotments were
made on the population basis here
tofore used, but subsequent distribu-
tion of quotas will be much altered
when the number OF men furnished
by any state is computed from the
number OF availables it has in Class L.
The men called out this month will
be modified, with the exception of
the Minnesotans and few other
states quotas, generally at the cam
tonments to which men from the
same states have previously been
sent In many cases they will find
the division S originally created at
those camps gone.
Some of the camps will have been
converted into replacement divisions
and the new men will be redistribut-
ed in accordance with their qualif-
cations after being inspected, rend-
\ cred as immune as possible from dis
ease and furnished with the initial
| equipment.

FIGHTING STARVATION
Swedish Government Striving to
Get Food For People.
Germany Putting On the Screws In
Effort to Force Big Loan-Bread
the Main Thing.

Stockholm, May 6-The Swedish
government is striving to the utmost
to obtain food for the Swedish people
who literally are fighting against
starvation" F. w. Thorsen, minister
of finance, declared in speech at
Nystad.
He outlined the agreement with the
Allies for the supply of foodstuffs and
other vital necessities against Swed-
ish tonnage and complained that GER
tain interested parties In Sweden in
opposing the agreement increased the
difficulties OF the government.
"The main thing is to get bread,
the price Is secondary considera-
tion," he declared.
The finance minister explained the
shortage OF coal as one Of the most
burdensome difficulties, and said that
the cost of coal was oppressive. Swed-
en- had to pay last year $4,000, 900 for
half the quantity which previously
cost $25.000,0O0.
Moreover" he added, foreign
countries insist on loans as a condi.
ton for the export of their goods.
For coal. Germany exacts a loan OF
$1,5O0.000 monthly from Sweden. The
price OF the mark has sunk, and &C.
cordingly Germany wants to help out
by loans. In. other words, q loan from
Sweden 10 exacted for payments on
goods for Sweden"
