Washington.?Measures to speed
vp the draft program are in contemplation,
and an official announoomor4
is expected soon. The intention is to
meet the emergency in Kranc.\ I* ?.
that reason 800.000 called this year
will be called more rapidly than was
previously planned. Arrangements to
this end are in progress, but no suggestion
that the 800,000 figure be ox
ceeding during this year has been put
forward at the War De partment.
Reports that the draft would h" j
raised from 800,000 men to 1 .*00.000,
were denied.
1,500,000 by End of Year.
Officials do not rgeard i' as no
sible that more men will bo sent
abroad this year than tho department
already has arranged to summon,
oven with additional Dritish shipping
made available as troop transports.
There are now under arms here and
in Europe more than 1,500,000 American
soldiers. The number will j
have been raised to about 2,500,000
the end of tho year, counting drafted !
men, volunteers and special technical
forces to be enlisted.
It is possible to get a total of j
1,500,000 to France by January 1,
next, the best previous hopes of the
War Department will have been realized
and there still will be a force ot
almost equal size in training here.
The present effort is directed monto
wards getting the men to France
early in the year to meet the emergencies
than increasing the number
to be sent during the remainder >!'
the year.

J
\ Washington.?A now shipbuilding
yfcl*d, solely for the construction of

f.oon by the Shipping Board. It will
be located in some Southern city,
where frost will not handicap the
work, probably in Wilmington, N. C.,

the former.
The new yard will have three ways,
each of which will be utilized imme- i
diately in the building of a 8,500-ton
concrete vessel, as plans, for that siv.^i
of ship already have been prepared.
Upon completion of those vessels tho
plant will construct 7,500-ton ships,
which are now being designed.
The government yard will make
four yards turning out concrete ships,
the other being private plants at Jack

There is move Catarrh in this action
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and for years it was
supposed to be incurable. Doctors prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Catarrh is a local disease, greatly influenced
by constitutional conditions
and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Hall's Catarrh Medicine,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
