BAKER MAKES A
 REPORT ON THE
 SIZE OF ARMY

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 16.-- Secretary of War Newton B. Baker reports that at the present time the United States has 2,600,000 troops under arms both in America and overseas.
 Overseas there are fourteen divi- sions of the National Army, twelve of the National Guards and five of the Regulars, but not all are actually on the firing line. They are being moved to the front for the last part of their training as rapidly as they are ready and where possible are being placed with Americans who can better explain conditions to the new men than can either the French or the British.
 The secretary hopes that the ac. celerated movement of the troops may be continued by reason of the great assistance which the English shipping has given.
