 WASHINGTON, May 1.-Secretary Baker will carry to congress tomor- row the army increase program mapped out by President Wilson and his advisers and based on his deter minatiOn to win the war, if it takes the whole man power of the nation to do il. There are indications that he will ask that all restrictions on the num- Der of troops to be raised be removed and the government authorized to mobilize as many men as it can equip, train and send to the battle front in France.
 Call for 100000 Men
 When the war secretary appears be- fore the house military committee with supplemental estimates for the army, he is expected to disclose that the department has reasons to believe it can handle during the present year at least double the existing force un- der arms of approximately 1,600,O00 men. That would mean total of 3,200,000 soldiers for whom clothing, equipment and transportation are now in sight. Should additional facilities become available, however, it is indi- cated that President Wilson wishes to be able to call out more men without
 
 Rush Men Over Sea
 Evidence came today in various ways of the tremendous effort that now is being made to send American armies into the fight in such numbers and in such time as to make victory cer.ain. In the morning the heads of the shipping board and the war indus tries board met with the war council, composed of army officials. Details CT additional ships and supplies were gone into, it is understood, on the basis of ihe recent surveys of the situ- alton.
 New Bill for Four Million
 In the house, Chairman Dent of the military committee introduced bill that would authorize the mobilization and organization of 4,O00, 600 sefective service men, instead of the 100000 to which the government is limited by the existing act. MT. Dent said the measure was his own and that he had not consulted the war department on it.
 Men Available 1,80o,0OO
 Under the new classification scheme. there are understood to be 1900. 900 men immediately available for active military service in class one That estimate is based on the returns of numerous states and the law of aver l ages. It excludes all men rated as fit 1 only for limited special service, all de- l linquents, slated for immediate induc- | tion into class one when apprehended and all of the so-called remedial cases the men who will be fit for active ser vice after operations or medical treat ment to correct minor physical defects Behind that also, stand the men who have reached T years since the draft act was passed and who will be brought in under pending amend ments.

LIBEL COMPLAINT MADE
 AGAINST EDITORS
Governor Takes Ora tic
 Course Over Article In
 Coconino Sun Which Was Reproduced In Citizen

On the complain of Governor Hunt, a warrant was issued out of the court of Justice De Souza yesterday after noon against Allan B. Jaynes, general manager of the Tucson Citizen, charg- ing criminal libel. The basis of the action was an editorial paragraph which appeared in the Citizen of April 30, making reference to a statement which had appeared in the Coconino Sun in which the governor was repre- scented to have spoken deprecatingly of the war.
 MT. Jaynes Surrenders at Once
 Mr Jaynes happened to have arrived in the city yesterday. When in the evening he learned that the warrant had been issued and was at the sher- ifs office he went there for service. He was accompanied by Judge Sloan, his counsel. Justice De Souza was sent for and he fixed the bond of Mr Jaynes at S1,500. Surety was furnished by former Governor Campbell and Mrs Charles E. Arnold. The prelim- mary hearing was set for next Satur- day morning. MT. Jaynes will leave for home this morning but will return on Saturday morning.
 Col. Breen Visits Sheriff
 At the same time the complaint was filed against MT Jaynes. another was lodged against Cod. Fred s. Breen owner of the Coconino Sun and a war rant against him was also issued and delivered to the sheriff who tele- giaphed the warrant to the sheriff at Flagstaff directing that Colonel Bveen be taken into custody today. The Co., conino sheriff, however, after serving the warrant released him on his own recognizance. He will also appear here for preliminary examination ac- companied by his counsel, Judge F. NJ Doe. Judge, John H. Campbell of Tue son will also take part in the defense of Mir. Jaynes.
 Basis Of Charge Made
 The offending paragraph from the Citizen as set forth in the complaint follows:
 The Coconino Sun is authority
 for the statement that a member
 of the faculty Of the Northern
 Normal school called on Governor
 Hunt recently and remarked dur ing the conversation Isn't the war
 situation terrible!" The Sun says
 that the governor flashed out: "To hell with this war" Now this
 statement of The Flagstaff paper is incredible and we call upon The
 Sun to state the name of the pro- lessor, the time and the persons present.
 | In the same issue of the Citizen there was a leading editorial in which several questions were directed at the governor and reference was made to the correspondence which passed be- tween the governor and Mir. Jaynes rel ative to the acceptance of the resigna- tion of MT. Jaynes from the state coun- l cil of defense. In MT. Jaynes' letter these questions had been asked.
 Two Men Leading Citizens. | The action is of the greater interest | because of the position of MT. Jaynes in politics, as republican national com mtteeman for Arizona.
 Colonel Breen has also had a prom inent part in the affairs of the state 1 He was member of the legislature and he was disbursing officer of tho government for the selective draf until the first of the present year.

American Troops in Great Battle
Huns Stop Completely

Having been defeated with enormous losses in every phase of the fighting around Ypres, the Germans have at tempted no further onslaughts. In- action prevailed Wednesday before the positions held by the British and French troop, especially those in the hands of the British, which it had been the ambition of the Germans to cap tue.
 Since Monday. what activity there has been in this region was carried out by the British and French. both of whom have materially bettered thei~ pcsitions-the French near Locre an1 the British at Meteren. On both sec tors ground was captured and prison CTS taken.
 Not End of Offensive
 The pause in the offensive, however, apparently is not to be taken as mean ing the end of the German attempts to crack the allied line. All along the front the big guns are roaring and shells of all calibers are ploughing the terrain and the areas far behind them and fresh German reserves, to take the places of the thousands of men killed. wounded or made prisoner, are being hurried to the front.
 Emperor Again at Front
 Indeed. advices from the British front in Flanders are to the effect that another furious drive by Von Arnim is in immediate prospect. Emperor William has been at the front deliv- ering flamboyant speeches to the troops in an endeavor to spur them on to victory. Meanwhile, British and French ar tillerists are sending a veritable hail of shells on Mont Kemmel, the chief point of vantage gained by the Ger mans in the Ypres sector. Thus far the allied guns have held back at tempts by the enemy to reinforce his men on the hill and if the good work is kept up the hill top is likely soon to prove to be a death trap for its cap tors.
 Allied Council Busy Nothing yet has been vouchsafed regarding the inter -allied>war council which is holding sessions at Versailles, which are expected to bring forth de- cisions of great moment. Representa- tives of all the allies are in atten- | dance.
 Great faith in the ability of General l F'och and the allied commanders on the western front again mas been ex- pressed by NJ. Clemenceau. the French premier. Returning from visit to the front, the premier said he considered the line stable. and that as a result of i the steps taken by the various com | manders it was outside the realm oi ] immediate danger.

sauntered into the High Line head
