The announcement concerning the second draft expreted soon from Provost Marshal Gen. Crowder may outiine the manner {n which less than 1,000,000 men—probably not much in excess of 800,000—are to be mitnmoned @radually during the year to cot. plete the existing organizations. As to the date of the second draft, members of Congress from agricul- tural sections have been assured prac- tically that no withdrawal of men from civil life was contemplated which would embarrass harvesting. It has been indicated, howéver, that & relatively small number of men must be called to the colors prior to June 1 and that process may start in April, when equipment, clothing and quarters will be available. The men aro needed to fill up to full strength divisions slated for early departure to Europe and also for field, army and corps troops not at- tached to divisions. The replacement detachments also must go forward a\ an accelerating rate since American troops are now actually holding a sector of the French front and men aro being Killed or wounded in action every day. ‘The completion of the full pro- gramme of the War Department w! out creating any additional di- | visions probab) vt: absorb tm the neighborhood of 600,000 men, The extent to which It has been necessary te Inorease artillery quo a8 through~ out the srmy and to add spr watts of all sorts has surpelsed every of cer and accounts for the existing shortages to a large extent.
