(From the New York Times.) The war department proposes, con- Kress disposes. It is one thing to plan an increase of our armed forces by 1,000,000 men: it js quite another thing to obtain, cquip, train and trans- port them to Francce. The army ap- bill contemplates an ex- penditure of $8.,000,000,000 to mair tain 1,600,000 the field and at home for thy ending in Ju 1919, The the present regular army Guard and National army about 1,528,000, the major part of which still in this It is the judgment of the staff that 1,000,000 more men will be needed as soon as they can be Accordingly the sent additional affairs com- men in fiscale vear strength of National is is made available. war department will pr estimates to the mailitary miftees at once, and congress, which, under the constitution, raises and supports making appropria- tions for twa years and no more, will be asked to authorize the addition of another million men to the land forces. 1t will he urged to do it without delay Secretary Baker has returned from the western front with a conviction that the quicker the United States can organize greater and dispatch them to France better—that not a day should be in making plans for reinforcing our allies inthat coun- try with armies equal in strength to those commanded by Field Marshal Haig. Tt may be necessary to call to the colors a total even greater than the 2,600,000 proposed by the war department. Whether the Germans prevail in their great offensive or not, the contribution of the United States to the support of its allies in France will have to be more than the force already authorized by congress. If the Germans should succeed in driv- the British army in the mnorth back toward the channel ports, or in breaking through the French army In the south and taking Amiens and its supply railways for both armies the war should go on. even if com- plete befell either wing of The French and hundreds of thou- hundreds of thou- less than two. to carry on armies, arm the lost disaster Hicd British might sands of men, but sand probably not millions, would remain the defensive campaign against the time when the United States could disembark great relieving armies at the port in France which has been alken over and which would be pro- tected and held by the allied forces on shore and by the sea power of Great Britain, France, and the United States. On the other hand, if Germany should be worsted in the great battie now aging and should lost the initia- tive, the war would also still go on. for the Germans cannot afford to quit the field while they have the ability to wage war. An eminent [French general has predicted that if the Ger- mans are defeated in their offensive they will dig in and fight on for a deadlock. This should be broken only by a great counter-offensive, but it would not be launched by the Allies until American reinforcements assurod the success of a forward movement. It might be necessary to wait until the summer of 1919 to strike the blow Therefore, the government of the United States must plan for a long war and prepare literally to smother Germany with reserves. Let the Imperial govenment under- stand the purpose of the United States to use all its resources and waste no time in mobilizing them to end the war, and Germany may decide some day to throw her hands up and cry, “Kamerad!" before her armies are actually whipped in the field. Con- gress, then, should give early realiza- tion to the plans of the war depart- ment to increase our armed forces. Amendments of the draft law to make available the entire man-power of the country must not hang flre. We can raise 10,000,000 men for war pur- poses abroad and at home. More than a third of them may never be needed, but the moral effect of making the common enemy see that he can be overwhelmed by American man-power is of transcendent importance. The day the Germans realize that they cannot win by military force and will eventually he beaten military forer, day will mark the first sincere overture for peace, not on their own terms, hut on the best terms they can from the tndomitable Allies, A million more men forthe American at this time the urgent busi- congress. army. lose " aot armies is n hefore Congratulating the Tleroes.
