To Provide for 3,000,000 Men. '
A new draft of the annual army ap
propriation bill providing; for the
needt of 3,000.000 men, under the $15,
000,000,000 program, will be laid be
fore" the house, military committee
when it reassembles next Monday.
Secretary ; Baker, . Major General
Mare chief of staff, and. other, offi
cers appeared today, at the commit
lee's executive session, discussing the
estimates to carry out the immediately
foreseen war work. -
While some of the house adminis
tration leaders voiced support of the
War department's program, the senti
ment- expresses wi nvi Kiuigcwicr

unlimited power to determine the site
of the army. Senator Sherman, in an
address to the senate, said he could
not auDaort such a nlan and that con
gress should fix tne number of men.
, Representative Dent of Alabama,
jcnsirman 01 mo nouie wramuiet, in
tends to press his bill, which would
authorize an army of 4,000,000 in ad
dition to the 1,000,000 volunteers al
ready in the service. On the other
hand, Representative Kahn of Call
(ronia, the ranking republican mem
ber, has declared himself thoroughly
in favor ol ,he t. War department's
program.
Aircraft Falls Short
Secretary Baker told the commit
tee the airplane program had not met
expectations and blamed the situation
on over-confidence of the government
and lack of ability of contractors to
fulfijl their contracts as speedily as
they had promised.
He said the Liberty motor was be
ginning to be produced, in quantity
and that it was an unqualified success,
so much sf that foreign governments
wanted to use it. His trip to Europe,
he said, opened his eyes to the magni
tude of operations.
While Secretary ; Baker was dis
cussing army expansion, Secretary
Daniels and his chief aides were out
lining the navy's needs to the naval
committee of the senate, in connection
with the $1,358,000,000 naval appro
priation bill passed by the house.

the Nonpartisan league, shows that
it has not been standing right on this
question."
He charged that every organizer "of
the league in this state, with one ex
ception, was a supporter of Victor
Berger, socialist, or a sympathizer
with the Industrial Workers of the
World.
Mr. Lowe started his address by
saying that this country was at war,
but he feared that some of the peo
ple of the state had not awakened to
its seriousness.
He told of his experience in the
trenches and of the atrocities and
cruelties perpetrated by the German
soldiers upon children and women,
and of the treachery of the German
officers. ,
"The war is just beginning for us,"
said Mr. Lowe, "and you people must
realize it."
"Before a year has passed there will
be 2,500,000 American soldiers in
France and as many more ready to
go, and if they are not, then it will
be up to us to inquire why are they
not there."
