Growing Army Figures From Caldwell Report Stir Debate
Secretary Baker may not have released the facts himself though Representative Caldwell cites growing Army numbers in France. Caldwell estimates over 500000 in France with 100000 trained and awaiting ships and 90000 dispatched in early May. He cites plans to put 2000000 to 2900000 fighting men into France this year and notes the ship supply race with Secretary Daniels promising transport for millions by next summer. The outlook is bright but hinges on ships and supplies.
