WILL CALL OUT IN
 1918 8OO,OOO MEN
WAR DEPARTMENT PLANS DO NOT CALL FOR ANY ADDITION
 AL DIVISION IN 1916.

Washington. = While a large num- Der of men will be called out during the present year to fill the army, War Department plans do not call for the creation of any additional divisions in 1918
 The announcement concerning the second draft may outline the manner in which less than 1,000000 men probably not much in excess of S00.- O0O-will be summoned gradually dur i ing the year to complete existing or ganizations. Delay in announcement as to the next draft is said to be due to uncertainty as to which method of allotting quotas to the states is to be followed.
 As to the date of the second draft, members of Congress from agricul- tural sections have been assured that no withdrawal Of men from civil life was contemplated which would en- barrass harvesting. It has been indi- cated, however, that relatively small number of men must be called before June l, and that process may start in April, when equipment, cloth ing and quarters will be available. The men are needed to fill LID diyi- sions slated for early departure to Europe and also for field army and corps troops not attached. The re- placement detachments also must go at an increasing rate since American frnnnc . ra hnl a 1f French front and men are being kill cd or wounded every day.
 The completion of the full program of the War Department without ere ating any additional divisions proba- bly, will require about 600,000 men. The extent to which it has been nee essary to increase artillery quotas throughout the army and to add spe- cial units of all sorts has caused much surprise and largely accounts for the shortages.
 The number of replacement troops necessary is worked out scientifically, based on experience at the front. A fixed percentage for each arm of the service is established Among the noncombatant arms this is very small, but it is quite high among front line troops. It is estimated that more than 100000 will be necessary for the 1918 program, making 800,O00 necessary.
 The last increments of the first draft, which now are being mobilized, totaling about 80,OO0 men, are being used 10 fill regular and National Guard divisions, which are available for early duty abroad.

MORE SHIPS NEEDED
 SAYS BRITISH LORD
DECLARES THEIR ALLIES ARE
 CREASE SHIP PRODUCTION.

London. - Our allies are making every effort to increase their produc- tion of ships" Sir Erid Geddes, first lord of the Admiralty, said today. but despite glowing reports in the American press and great as the ef- fort Of that country doubtless is, there is no doubt considerable time must elapse before the desired output is obtained"
 Sir Eric, in the House of Commons, said the, naval forces of the allies in European waters will be increased soon by force Of Brazilian warships.
 For some months" Sir Eric said, we believe that we and the Ameri- cans have been sinking submarines as fast as they are quilt"
 He said the rate of exaggerating in German reports of tonnage alleged 10 have been sunk is increasing stead- fly.
 T believe the individual piece worker on ships works as hard how as he did last year when he is at work, Sir Erie continued, but he seems reader to take holidays and We cannot afford holidays. If improve ment is not speedily made, the point where production balances losses will be postponed to a dangerous extent
 The trend of the figures of loss of shipping by enemy action is steadily improving, Sir Eric stated The loss to the worlds tonnage during Febru- ary was little more than half the loss during February of last year, he said.
 In the water around the British Isles, which had been the enemys chief field for submarine operations, the greatest successes against the U. boat had been obtained so far, recent ly with the help of American naval forces, said Sir Eric But he said that conditions in the Mediterranean have been more difficult. Losses there accounted for about 30 per cent os merchant ships sunk. Resources for combating the submarines in those waters are less adequate and results less satisfactory. But he said that as resources for combating the subma- 'rlne improve it would be possible 10 turn attention more to the Mediter- ranean.'
 It was perhaps natural" Sir Eric continued, that cooperation between Great Britain and the United States should be extremely close" He paid tribute to the whole-hearted and gen erous devotion to prosecution of the war Of every representative of the United States navy.
 The men of all ranks, he said, had the respect and esteem of the officers of the British navy.

RUSSIANS SHOW RESISTANCE AND DRIVE ENEMY FROM THE
 CITY NEAR CAPITAL.
GERMAN POWER COMPLETE
BerIin's Announcement of the Cap ture of kiev Was Made Just as Russia and Germany Agreed
 To Peace Terms.

New York. - Late reports show that the retirement of the Germans from NarFa, west of Petr0grad, Was a result of successful resistance by Russian forces at Hamburg, 6S miles i southwest of Petrograd. This resist ance may be only q local case of the disposition of the Rolshevik govern ment to fight against further inya- sion of Great Russia, but it shows the Russians still are capable of an effective defense.
 The last details relative to the peace signed with Finland shows that from the Arctic ocean to the Black sea the German power is complete. It $ reported that Finland has asked" Emperor William to place his son Oscar on the Finnish throne This, 4s was indicated few days ago, ab- solutely deprives Russia of both shores of the Gulf of Finland and makes Petrograd an inland city SC far as foreign commerce is concerned
 Differences between Ensign Kry- lenko commander of the Bolshevik armies and the peoples commissaries are reported to have led to the resig- nation of Krylenko, who recently had urged the Russian people to use all means at their command to resist the central powers This is the first split among the men who have com posed the BolsheYik government, al though there have been reports from time to time that either Lenine or Trotzky or both, would resign.
 German claims that the Ukrainian city of Kiev had been occupied are denied in Petrograd, which says that the city is still in the hands of the Bolsheviki, who captured it more than month ago from the Ukrainian rada, which later made peace with the Teutons. Berlin's announcement of the capture of I<iev was made just as Russia and Germany agreed to peace terms and since then there have been no reports of military ac- tiyity in that region.
 In five days Germany has forced peace terms on three different gov ernments-R Russia. Rumania and Fin land. The Finnish government ap- parently submitted to the German terms in order to gain military aid against the revolutionists. who hold much of southern Finland, along the Finnish gulf. With Finland and Els thonia under German suzerainty, the Gulf of Finland is taken from Rus sian control and Great Russia has less than 150 miles of coast line along the gulf
 Although the Germans apparently will permit King Ferdinand to con tinue to rule Rumania, the victorious enemy has compelled his victim to agree to humiliating terms. Import ant wheat, oil and salt concessions are to be given Germany, which is to control the Rumanian railways for 15 years and is to have a most favor able trade agreement with Russia, which loses Dobrudja and control of the Danube.
