PLAN TO RAISE MILLION TROOPS IN EVENT OF WAR MOSCOW WOULD BE EXPECTED TO RAISE 50 SOLDIERS FOR ARMY WASHINGTON, Feb. 12— It is hardly a secret any longer that the general staff is laying plans to raise an army of 1,000,000 federal volunteers, supplemental to the regular army and the national guard in the event that war comes. Some military authority maintains that half a million in any war with Germany under present conditions would be quite sufficient to guarantee safety in any event, but as against this is urged that no one can predict the length of the war and it is believed to be training a surplus than less than enough, particularly as it takes so long to make soldiers out of volunteers. Taking the federal census estimates that in 1916 the population of continental United States was 102,017,312, raising an army of a million would mean that one out of every 102 residents of the United States would be required to join the colors. Moscow, accordingly, is placing the population at 50,000, would be expected to furnish 50 men. The quota for the entire state of Idaho would be something like 3700. Seattle would be asked for 3400 and Spokane more than 1400. BULLETIN WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—The house today passed the naval appropriation bill by a vote of 353 to 23.
