Washington March 12.-Eight bundred thousand men are to be ealled to the colors gradually auring the present year under the second army draft which begins m March 29. An announcement todav by Provost Marshal General crowdar of the number to be called, was followed closely by an order fo' : the mobilization of 95,000 men during the five day period beginning March 29 some 15,000 of them to assemble under the second draft, 80,000 will be men of the first draft of 687,000 not vet summoned into service.
 Details of how the second draft is to be applied will be made public la ter after congress has acted upon pro- posed legislation providing for the registration of youths attaining the age of 21 years, and for passing state and district quotas on the number of registrants in class one.
 The 95,C00 men now called, it is understood ,are needed at once to fill up divisions and other units schedul- l ed for early departure or to take the place of men transferred from other divisions to make up such deficiencies. The 800,000 men to be summoned l this year represent the number nec-
 essary to fill up all existing divisions, tc,create all the army corps and field army troops, to fill out the war ma- l chine, for which the framework al- l ready exists, and to provide quar-
 ter of million replacement, troops. When they have been mobilized. which will not be completed before the first cf next year, there will be more than 4O full infantry divisions of 27,700 men each, and all the additional units necessary.

 tonal army or National guard will be created this year, altho the program

 lson, may be enlarged. The first pur-
 pose of the war department is to com plete the first field army in France,
