BAKER ASKS FOR
UNLIMITED ARMY
Three Million, Provided for
by Appropriation Bill,
Is Not Enough
ABOUT TWO MILLION
ARE NOW UNDER ARMS
Secretary of War Is Strongly Opposed
to Placing the Draft Anotments on
Any Other Than the Population
Basis.

Basis.
WASHINGTON, May 3.-Secretary
Baker told the house military commit
tee in executive session yesterday it
would be unwise to set any limit on
the number of men who could be called
to the colors and that the granting of
complete discretionary authority to the
President to increase the size of the
army as rapidly as transportation and
equipment facilities may warrant
would have great psychological eff
feet on the enemy by showing how
thoroughly the nation is throwing all
its resources into the conflict
The army appropriation bill this
year, Mr. Baker said, should provide
for approximately 100000 men, in
Guiding the nearly two million now I'M
der arms, but this should not be accept
ed as any fixed limit to the number of
men to be called within the year. Sup
Elemental appropriations, he said, will
be submitted as the army is increased.
Action on the army appropriation
bin had been deferred by the commit
tee pending the return of the war Sec
rotary from Europe when it could Sc
cure from him information as to the
army s needs based upon the knowl-
edge he gained during his inspection
Of the American expeditionary forces
and his conferences with British,
| French and Italian officials.
Secretary Baker also outlined TO the
committee the reasons why he opposes
house amendments to the senate reso-
luton TO change the basis of draft
quotas from state population to the
number of men in class l, under which
states would be given credit in the
army and navy He said such credits
would be fair if the basis was to be
state populations but that they would
not be fair with the basis the number
of men i'll class ! because then some
/ states would have TO furnish no draft
men, while others would have to fur
nish very high percentage.
| Wien the resolution TO change the
draft quota basis was before the house,
! President Wilson wrote Chairman Dent
/ of the military committee supporting
the volunteer credits plan. but he was
represented yesterday as having
changed his mind in view of the in
equity that would result 1t Is under
stood that he will write Chairman
Dent asking the house to reeedc from
its insistenoe on its amendments.
There were indications yesterday
that an administration bill to grant I'M.
limited power to the President to in
crease the size Of the army will meet
with opposition. Chairman Dent has
not abandoned the bill he prepared
without consultation with the war de-
rartment which would limit "the total
number of men now drafted or to be
hereafter drafted to 100000, and
ne intimated yesterday that he might
seek its incorporation III the army ap
preparation bill.
After the meeting. Secretary Baker
said he had not discussed the number
Of men to go into the army because
mention of any specific number ser 4

is our ability to equip and transport
