At Least 5,000,009 Men
Are Needed To Win
War Is Prediction.
Washington, March 2(1 The war de
partment resolution extending opera
tion of the selective draft act by re
quiring registration of men reaching 21
years ot age since June 5, 1917, was
brought up in the senate today, with
senator New, of Indiana, speaking in
support of his amendment for compul
sory training of men between the ages
of 19 and ’1.
Senator New declared it is impossi-
bl ■ to predict the size of the force that
w, t be necessary for the United States
to win the war. The djbete was bri- f
and no action was taken.
Senator Thomas, of Colorado,
he had been opposed to compulsory mil-
iiary training, but “that his convictions
on the subject had undergone a com
plete change. ” He believed that it
would soon become a national necessi-
t •.
The amendment was characterized by
Senator Myers, of Montana, as “one of
the best and wisest suggestions" that
has been made since this country en
tered the war.
“In my opinion we should now be
training 5,000,009 men to protect this
co intry,” said Senator Frelinghuysen,
of New Jersey.
“Before we win this war we will
need 5.000 000 men, ” asserted Senator
Myers.
