ARM 100000 MEN! DO 1T
NOW! SENATE PLEA

Washington, d. c., April 30.-(Sp,-
cial. i'm three bills presented today,
Senators demanded that the Unit d
States army be increased to 3,000,-
600 or 100000 men. They insisted
on immediate action. Secretary of
War Baker announced after this re-
markable manifestation of impotence,
that he hopes to be able to submit his
program of army expansion to Con-
gress before the end of this week.
The administration proposals as
tentatively shaped, include authority
to raise two more increments of $780,
900 draft men each, which would
bring the army up to total of APP
proximately 100000 men.
1t also transpired that the adminis-
tration is considering a proposal to
raise the maximum draft age above
30 years, possibly to 35 or 40 years,
chiefly for the purpose Of placing at
the disposal of the government thou
sands of men of skilled occupations
who are needed in the war industries
in this country and behind the lines in
France.
Reed for 100000 More.
The text of Senator Reeds bill is
as follows:
"Be it enacted by the Senate, etc,
that the act entitled An act 10 au-
thorize the President TO increase tenn

may determine, to raise and begin the
training of an additional force of
three million men, organized, differed,
and equipped, as provided in the third
paragraph of this section, such men to
be called for training at such time
and in such numbers as the President
may direct"
His bill also amended The age Sec
ton of the old draft bill so as to in
clude "all male citizens or male per
sons who at the time of such draft
shall be between the age of Il and
80 years, both inclusive"
Senator Chamberlain, chairman Of
the military affairs committee, said
tonight JhaC tne committee would act
in the near future.
"The country may rest assured that
some adequate Legislation will be
speedily prepared tor augmenting the
army" he said. Everyone who
thinks realizes that the country must
prepare for this war on a greater scale
than ever"
81 am heartily in favor of legislation
suggested by these measures" said
Senator New of Indiana, a Republi-
can member of the military commit
tee. Something along the lines pro-
posed will be worked out by the COM

have the subject under serious con-
sideration."

FIRST AIRPLANEs ARRIVE

With the American Army in France
May 25.-The first airplanes to be fur
nished to the American army from the
United States have arrived in France
and now are in use in a training camp
These machines are OF the type equip
ped with the Liberty motor.
For three days not one Boche avia-
tor has stuck his nose over the Ameri-
en- sector, and American ayiators go
ing back of the Boche lines have not
been able to start fight
During the last month the Boche
airmen confronting American lines lost
IL machines to our four, in addition TO
losses inflicted by the French. II is
not known what is the reason for their
inactivity.
1t is presumed they are rebuilding
the personnel Of their damaged squad
rons.
American airmen feel pride In the
situation which is quite different from
what it used to be when the Boche had
the best air petrol on the sector. The
American army has plenty OF trained
aviators who would make themselves
a big factor IL they had an ample sup
ply OF machines.
The news that the first real airplanes
had arrived in France from America
after so many promises. is received en-
Enthusiastically, because they are regard
ed as the forerunners OF an enormous
