The Board OF Estimate to- day found a

submitted by Corporation Counsel Burr
provides that the contractors must
agree 10 release the city from "claims
for damages. delay and breaches OF con-

This plan is In accordance with the
city charter. which authorizes Nthe
comptroller to adjust claims against the
city.
The contractors would have preferred
action under the lockwood law, which
called for the cancellation OF their con-
tracts and the substitution OF new ones
The Board OF Estimate, however. feared
that action taken under this law might
prove too costly to the city.
While this plan leaves a way open foI

plans, Il was learned to-day. This
means addition OF about 100000 to
the army. exclusive OF those called
for special purposes.
The new divisions will be added TO
the Regular Army and to the Ma
tional Army. Original plans as to
cavalry have been altered 30 that
mounted divisions which have been
or are being organised wih be dis
mounted. This shift IL based on q
study which indicates the Allies
have sufficient cavalry while the
main need in the American contribu-
ton Is Infantry and artillery With
auxiliary forces In proportion.
In this connection 1t 10 likely that
tho regular cavalry division will be
disbanded and its regiments scattered
on Mexican border patrol. while

menta will serve dlsmounted.

WASHINGTON. June "A gsnsrsi
revision Of classification under the

Governors OF all States ordering in-'
vestigations to determine the reason
for the small number OF registrantt

Provost Marshal said.
NThe lists of some boards show an
average far below the national aver
age OF 2s.7 per cent. registrants In
Glass 1. Some boards even had fallen
as low as 10 per cent.
IT is expected that the rearnanrs-
ment will bring into class one more
than 100000 men.
Cases where registrants were mar
ried after passage OF the draft act
will be carefully considered. and IL
evidence warrants classification in
class one boards will proceed TO re-
classify them. Married men whose
wives have sustaining incomes. ptob-
ably will be reclassified. s'lt
Gen. Crowders order says:
Local boards should sat asids q
