Mr, Baker said teday after a prolonged session of the cabinet that he would be ready to_submit his estimates in that time. ‘What increase is to be asked has not been disclosed but the report most widely circulated is that an ad- ditional million men will be provided for in the appropriation bills submit- ted, bringing the army up to more than 3,000,000 men. It is known that a very careful sur- vey of the equipment and transporta- tion situations was completed by the war department recently as a basis for formulating army increase plans. The provost marshal-general's office has taken steps to ascertain in defi- nite figures the exact number of fighting men still available in class one of the selective service forces, and recommendations for authority to organize additional divisions. and es- timates for appropriations have been {held up pending the completion of these studies. Previous plans contemplated the mobilization of an additional 800,000 men during the present year. This project represented the filling up to full strength of all existing divisions and the erection in Francé bgfore she end of the year of a full field army under General Pershing, with an am- ple reserve to keep the fighting ranks full at all times. Plans for the equipment of troops were based on thig project, it is un- derstood, and in considering proposals to enlarge the programme extensively, the prospective of shortage of uni- forms and other equipment as well as of transportation ‘must be consid- ered.
