GOING AT TOP SPEED
NINETY THOUSAND U. S. TROOPS
SAIL IN TEN DAYS.
Tells of Large Shipments of
American Soldiers.

Washington, May 24.-In a state
ment inserted In the house record on
Wednesday, Representative Caldwell
Of New York, a member Of the mill
tary committee, declared that during
the first ten days of May 10000 Amer
lean soldiers were sent abroad, and
said that after the expiration of one
year from the arrival of the first ship
ment Of troops from this country, the
United States would have 100000
men in France, equipped with the
necessary arms and supplies.
Representative Caldwell said:
"Today We have an army of more
than 100000, Of which 100000 have
already been shipped to France and a
million more have had the necessary
training to fit them for foreign service.
These are now waiting for boats to
carry them over.
Notwithstanding that the approprf-
alton measure now pending is to sup
port an army of only 100000, l am
confident that before many months
deficiency appropriations will be nee
esary.
eve will probably have between A.
100000 and 100000 men before the

power Of America for seven-year,

at 20,000,0O0 fighting men of recog-
nized military age"

600 for ordnance, ordnance stores and
ordnance supplies, during the next fis-
cal year were Submitted to the house

quest for authorization of S7,11S,562,-

partments discretion for ordnance.
Additional requests for naval appro-
priations during the next fiscal year
