With the more than a million and

under arms the war department is
submitting plans for an equal amount
to be trained during the year 1918.
This should give us three millions Of
soldiers by fall or next New Year.
The next step will likely be a plan to
duplicate the big army during 1919.
Estimates place the May draft quota
at 233,742. Allowing for inductions
