At the outset of his remarks Mr. | Caldwell read the following letterfrom Secretary Baker: “Washington, D. C., May 3, "My Dear Mr, Caldwell: “I have read with interest and ap- preciation your speech in the house on the subject of aircraft, and am writing this note to thank you for taking the trouble to look into the situation and spealk s mpathetically | and helpfully.

He continued: “Under the legislation that congress passed in spite of the recommendation from the Allies, we have already raised more than 2,000,000 men, and early in the year 1919 will have 3,000,000 men in the army. We have now taken the ‘lid off’ so that Presi- dent Wilson may have as great an army as necessity requires and our man power ermits. Notwithstanding the fact that the appropriation meas- ure now pending is drawn with the view of supporting an army of only 2,000,000, T am confident that before months deficiency i may be necessary. probably have 4,000,000 or 5,000,000 men before the end of the next fiscal yvear."” Mr. Caldwell's estimate of man pawer in America was: Two million men now in the army; 2,000,000 more in Class 1, waiting to be called, and 1,000,000 additional in th men who have become 21 this year. Classes 2, 3, 4 and 5, he said, had 6,000,000 other men, and there were 3,000,000 boys between 18 and 21. He estimated, therefore, that if the war 1 ed until 1924, there would be 000,000 more men, all of Class 1.
