FROM OUR OWN CORRESPOND­ENT. NEW YORK, THURSDAY.

The Military Committee of the House of Representa­tives received plans to-day giving President Wilson practicall­y unrestrict­ed power to use the full man-power of the country for the war. The mobilisati­on of men would be limited only by the ability to train and transport them to France, and, if adopted, the plans will allow of a total of 3,200,000 soldiers for this year, that is to say, just about double the number now actually existing as a force under arms. Mr. Wilson would be able to call out men just as circumstan­ces might demand, without waiting for more authority.
