The plan envisions a 2,001,000 officer and enlisted force with 1,000,000 in a new conscript army, plus 655,000 in regular and National Guard, and 500,000 more as a first quota. Prohibition and social evil restraints accompany the draft, while pay scales for enlisted personnel rise. Officers to France and West Point graduations noted, with a women’s liberty loan committee formed to support government bonds.
