and the American army general staff

to a conference at the White Houso
today between President Wilson and
Rene viviani. head of the French
mission.
Decision rests with the president
through his constitutional function az
corlmander-in-c chief of the United
ctarss army. It was generally assum-
ed that the views of the French Of
fiCials disclosed in Marshal Joffre.s
statement yesterday advising that
American forces be sent To the battle
front soon, were formally presented
to Mr.. Wilson during the conferences.
No information as to that decision
was given out, however and no ad-
ministration official would comment
upon the statement of the great
French soldier.
Upon that subject have no coni-
n ent to make" was the reply with
which Secretary Baker met questions.

geston that American forces be sent
abroad s.rt'' thn,s rrA fnll. tf,f'ses e~ti
