pose the first army which, with aup
plememal army troopa auch as heavy
artillery, will total a million men.
Instead of one field army on Janu
ary 1, 1919, aa originally planned, it
now appeara probable that two such
armlea will be opcraUng In France by
that date, backed by full American
built and maintained supply lines. The
great project of establishing the Amer
ican army as the right, flank or the
battle line will then be within sight.
