With the Allied Armies in France.
Oct. 26.-The British army now has
obtained absolute proof that the Ger

time been suspected.

ambulance which, engaged in carry
ing ammunition, bore the Geneva Red
Cross. This vehicle was found to be
loaded with explosives and the cap
ture was considered SO important that
sentries were Immediately posted to
make certain that no one touched it

Colonel House long has been recog-

SPEED UP NEXT DRAFT
Hurry Call Of 100000 for Great
Battle.
Washington Takes Measures to Speed
Up Draft to Meet Emergency
In France.

Washington, April 4--Measures to
speed up the draft program are in
contemplation and an official an
nouncement Is expected soon.
The intention is to meet the emer-
gency In France. For that reason the
100000 to be called this year viii be
called more rapidly than was previous
ly planned.
War department officials said no ar
engagements were In sight looking to
calling out more than the 100000 men
1t was planning to take into the serv-
Ice.
Reports that the draft would be
raised from 100000 to 100000 were
denied.
Officials do not regard Il as nossl-

this year than the department already
has arranged to summon, even with
additional British shipping made avail
able as troop transports. There are
now under arms here and In Europe
more than 100000 American soldiers.
The number will have been raised to
about 100000 by the end Of the
year. counting drafted men. volun-
teers and special technical forces to
be enlisted. If 1t Is possible to get a
total of 100000 men to France by
January next the best previous hopes
Of the war department will have been
realized and there still will be force
of almost equal size in training here.
The present effort Is directed more to-
ward getting the men to France early
in the year to meet the emergencies
there than toward increasing the num-
Der to be sent during the year.
Many factors, 1t was said, enter into
any proposal to increase the number
Of men under training here. They
must be drawn largely from agricul-
ture and Industrial fields, and the al
lies supply lines as we'll as the Amer
leans are largely dependent upon
American food and supplies.
