PLAN TO SPEED NEW DRAFT
War Department Preparing to Rush
Men 20 France-CaII to Be
for 100000.

Washington, April 4.-Measures to
speed up the draft program are in con-
temptation and an official announce
ment is expected soon.
The intention is to meet the emer-
gency in France. For that reason the
100000 to be called this year will be
called more rapidly than was previous
ly planned.
War Department officials said no ar
rangements were in sight looking TO
calling out more than the eight hun
dred thousand men it was planned to
take into the service.
Reports that the draft would be
raised from eight hundred thousand to
IL million were denied.
Officials do not regard it as possible
that more men will be sent abroad this
year than the department already has
arranged to summon, even with addi-
tional British shipping made available
as troop transports. There are now
under arms here and in Europe more
than IL million American soldiers.
The number will have been raised to
about 21z million by the end of the
year, counting drafted men. volunteers
and special technical forces to be en-
listed.

The Allies aid America may seek
to arrange for further tonnage from
Norway, Denmark or Spain to carry
extra troops to France These
sources are the only available ones
aside from the small output Of new
American-British tonnage, or use of
British passenger vessels now in the
auxiliary cruiser service, it was

The $3.50 measure is now in con-
ference in Congress. 1t will come TO
the floor for a full discussion again
soon.
The Food Administration opposes
the $3.50 price. Men who sold their
1917 wheat at the 81 figure say the
$3.50 price for 1918 would give an IN,
due advantage to the men who hoard
ed their 1917 crop, waiting for higher
prices. The farmers who voted for
the low price came here to attend the
first conference of the Agriculture
Departments advisory committee.
