TO HOLD DRAFT %EN
SOME TO BE KEPT IN ARMY UN-
TIL AFTER PEACE.
Iects' Discharge Depends on Speed
in Getting Volunteers.

Washington, April 9.-Large num-
bers of drafted men who have been
looking forward to early demobiliza-
ton are doomed to disappointment.
Many are to be kept in service for the
full period allowed by the law, which
is four months after peace has been
declared.
The war department desires to keep
these men in service until a satisfac-
tory number of enlistments have been
obtained under the general staff plan
of increasing the regular army to 500
600 men.
The decision to this effect is con
tanned In a letter of Secretary Baker
to Senator Reed of Missouri, made pub.
lie here. 1t was written just before
Secretary Baker left Washington for
Europe.
Secretary Baker wrote that enlist.
ments were coming in slowly and
added:
"As enlistments can be made only
up TO the authorized strength of the
regular army and this strength is not
sufficient to meet all the necessities
existing for troops. it will be neces.
sary to retain a large number of the
Selective men in the army until such
time as the war department may be
empowered by congress to raise by
voluntary enlistments sufficient mum
Der of men to perform the duties re
quired.
practically one-half of our troops
sent abroad were carried in British
ships, the use of which we cannot have
at the present time, as they are being
employed in returning British colonial
troops TO their homes and in readjust
ing the worlds food stocks else
where.
at is no more possible TO discharge
men who have been retained for the
purpose of performing the necessary
work connected with debarkation de
mobilization, convalescent centers
hospitals, domestic guard duty, avia
ton fields, government stores. border
police. garrisoning insular possessions
etc, than II would have been in the
midst of the war to have moved mer
out of trenches, where they were fac
ing the enemy before other men Were
in their places to relieve them"
