Movement Of Men Not to Be Inter

Washington, Aug. 15.-The draft
program and plans Of the War De-
partment are Of such character that
the rapid movement of troops to
France is continuing, Secretary Ba-
ker said to-day, and by reason of the
very great assistance given by the
British government in placing so
much shipping at the disposal Of the
American government, the depart
ment hopes to continue the acceler-
ated movement overseas.
There now are approximately g.
100000 American soldiers in this
country and overseas, Mr.. Baker
added. The reservoir in the United
States Is such that even with the ex-
hausting for a time of the eligibles in
Class l, the movement of men over
seas would not be interrupted.
Fourteen national army divisions
already are in France, the Secretary
said, and these have been included
in the new field army organization
recently announced by Gen. PERISH
ing. There also are twelve national
guard divisions, including the Rain
bow organization, overseas, together
with five regular army divisions.
