Provost General Crowder
Tells Military Committee of
Progress of the Draft
100000 MEN
ARE VOLUNTEERS
Gen. March Raises Bakers
Figures of the Men in
France by 100000

Washington, June lT--Secretary Bak.
er's estimate of 100000 men in France
made week ago was raised Saturday
by Cen Payton s. March, chief of staff,
to more than 100000 in statement
TO newspaper men in which he said the
cause OF the allies now looks more Ia.
vowbe than il has for weeks.
Provost Marshal General Crowder an.
nounced to the Senate committee on mil.
itary affairs earlier in the day that by
Aug. I there would be 100000 Ameri
cans under arms, force that will be
made mp of 100000 volunteers and
100000 drafted men.
These announcements, yielding more
definite information on the fighting
strength of the army than has come for
weeks from the war chiefs. gave rise TO
the suggestion that the American army
now may be strong enough TO counter
balance the German thrust. On this
point Gen. March said;
1t is impossible to predict a day
say a month ahead or any other definite
time-when a mastering superiority will
be in the hands Of the allies. But the
number of troops we are sending across
now is limited only by the capacity
Of the ships to carry them, and we in
tend to keep that up
Gen. March also said that the ques.
tion Of man power on the western front
must be considered with reference not
only to the enemy divisions which have
been known to be there all along, but
with the potential increase which might
be attained by bringing divisions from
the eastern front.
He pointed out that the four German
ofTensiyes have increased the difficulties
of the allies, because Of the extension
Of the German line. Gen. March said
that from Rheims to the sea the Ger
mans have stretched their front sixty
six miles. In order 10 hold this new
line the allies have had to use more
troops than they had at the start, he
said.
Gen March regards the latest German |
drive not 80 much as drive on Paris, |
but as move TO straighten the often
sive line preparatory for a sweeping |
attack for the channel ports, The ports, |
he said, are the chief detectives.
Gen. Crowders announcement brought |
great satisfaction to the Senate com
mttee While he would not detail the |
plans by which his prophecy of 100000 I
Is to be fulfilled. he was assured that I
this figure would be reached He said |
that BAT 900 of the 100000 in Class |
have already been called into service,
and that by December 81 Glass ! viii be
entirely exhausted
Tho v,raJ lief ION Than ya that

BARRE 4. c. BEAT
Il. S. SIGNAL CORPS
Scored Six Runs in First Inning and Kept
the Army Men Always in the Rear,
Final Score Being 10 4.

The Barre Athletic baseball team de-
feated the signal corps team of the army
Sunday afternoon at lntercity park by n
score of 9 to 1. The score would have
been larger II LAvoie had not replaced
Hamel, who allowed all the Barre scores
TO be made in the first inning. The four
scores which the signal corps received
were presents, the first two coming in the
sixth inning, when the ball became lost
in new mown hay, while the other two
were as easily obtained. There was n
large crowd. II is expected that an eff
fort will be made to have other games.
In the first inning, Hamel walked the
first three facing him. Starr singled, scor-
ing two men. A. Fowlie and Rieeiarelli
flied out 20 Birmingham, but the runners
were able TO score. G. Fowlie was safe
on Larson's error, while Corporal Steltz,
Of he recruiting office in Montpelier,
drove out a single. Tomasi got single,
and the bases were filled again. Stewart
singled, scoring two men. Graham walked
and the bases were filled, when Bottiggi
famed.
After that the home team did not
score. They had chance in the fifth
inning, but nice double play prevented
scoring, when Lavoie had TO take the
driven ball or get hit, and then threw
A. Fowle out at first In the eighth they
had another chance, when Steltz drove
the ball TO Foster, who played 1T to
Flaherty, covering second, who doubled
up G.. Fowlie at first.
The signal corps did not have chance
to score until the sixth inning. Steltz
dropped Hamers fly and Maxwell singled.
Foster struck out Birmingham drove
single and the ball hit in new mown hay
Bottiggi and Steltz were hunting for it
and Ricciarelli ran to their assistance and
found the ball, stopping Birmingham at
third, SO that the play went as three
Dagger. In the ninth Larson singled,
VIM walked, the next two struck out,
and then Maxwell singled and Larson and
VIM scored. Foster was an easy out for
Ctrn ha Tho Gpnpe.
