The French have been forced to give
up the village Of Castel, west OF Mo-

Give. ARMY OF
100000 men
10000, 900 Men Expected to
Register in U. S.-345, 5O2
Estimated for Indiana.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-An army
81 10000 fighting men will be one
result OF the extension of the dra.t
ages between Is and 40, in the opinion
Of War Depa, tment officials.
This is the minimum figure, and
Il meaDs that every man Of the 7,000,-
600 will be of the type and physique
Of those now on the battle front in
France.
Military men believe the class Of IS
to 90 win yield 100000 men. From
the class of 81 to 81 the country has
already taken 100000 Of the best SOL
der material in history, most of whom
to 45 is set down for another 100000
men. Under the present plans, which
provide that the boys of from IS to 20
shall be trained here, the United
States will have the largest reserve
army the world has ever seen.
In one respect the tremendous flg-
ures recall President Wilson's Inter
rogatory-answer" with reference to the
amy when he said: "Why limit it to
100000"
They mean the possibilities of our
army are practically without limit.
The 100000 could be increased to
eight, nine, ten, eleven or even
twelve million If need be.
One War Department estimate fixes
100000 men as to the number who
will register, providing the extensions
are approved in the present form.
Through comparison, based on the
number of men registered in the vari-
Gus states at the time Of the first draft,
an estimate has been obtained of the
state quotas in the new draft.
