This became known today in connection with indications that the "War Department plans to have not less than ">0.000 troops at the American base in France by the middle of October, and that the number probably will be nearer 70.000. The Americans will do he&vy training in France during the winter and will b? readp for battle on the we?t. front in the spring drive. By this time the men now trained and train- j ing are at the front fully five times | meir numoer?zauuuu?wjh nave Deen i gathered at the American "base. These tentative figures obtained today in authoritative quarters indicate two things: 1?That the heaviest troop move- j ments iprobably will take place during I the winter months when submarines J are least effective 2?That the conscript army will nor even start abroad until late next year. The men drafted will not see service this year unless all signs fail. And even then not more than 150,000 of the 687.000 drafted are likely to go to the front, for many months at least. The majority, fully 320.000, will be held as depot and reserve troops. The 187.00H reserves drafted in addition to the authorized increment of 500,000 aar?? not included in the^e figures.
