U. S. WILLING
TO SEND ARMY
INTO TRENCHES

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The French
commissioners today had assurance
that the American government is will
ing to send troops to France-one of
the urgent recommendations they
brought to this country-when the
allies believe they can afford to spare
the necessary ships for transporting
an army and it's equipment across the
Atlantic.
The administration has put aside the
objections of the army general staff to
sending any troops to the battle front
until a big force has been raised and
trained for nearly year and has de-
cided that for the sake of the moral
effect of Americas actual participation
in the trench battling, small contin-
gent shall go forward as soon as
possible.
This will be soon, it is believed, al
though the government is mindful that
nearly 100000 tons of shipping would
be required for regular army unit of
$4,000 men, and that this amount
would have to be diverted from carry
ing food.

May DAY PASSES QUIETLY
IN WAR-RIDDEN NATION

Beyond an officially inspired dispatch
from Berlin stating that no disorders
occurred in Germany during May Day
the veil of secrecy which has been
drawn over the situation in the cen
trail empires remains unbroken, as
far as any direct news is concerned.
News dispatches from the German
frontier speak of great strikes and
rumors pile upon rumors in regard to
the growing unrest among the leu
tonic nations but there is little that is
tangible on which to base judgment
Everything points to crisis of affairs
in Germany and Austria but the out
come is uncertain.
Demand for Reform Grows.
The demand for internal reforms is
growing louder and more insistent in
Germany and the newspapers are
voicing this demand with a. holiness
never known since the commencement
of the war. The one certain thing Of
significance is that the German gov
eminent is proceeding to unheard of
lengths to prevent the outside world
from learning the truth of the situa-
tion
1t is reported that Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Hollweg will make new
peace offer before the Reichstag to-
morrow but this is based entirely on
a newspaper statement and lacks
either detail or confirmation. The
storm of criticism against the chancel-
Tor is steadily growing in bitterness

Audacity of the Deserters
Assembled In Switzerland
AmdzeS Authorities There

Zurich. Nov. 800 Correspondence
OF the Associated Press. ALL Swift
zerland is amazed at the audacity Of
some four hundred deserters from
various adjoining countries who. in
solemn conclave, have protested
violently against the measures re-
Gently adopted by the authorities for
controlling the undesirable stranger
element in the country.
Switzerland had believed that its
measures-the requirement of u
bond from those who had fed to the

undesirable conduct. etc. un-
usually lenient, and regret has been
expressed in many quarters that
the powers that be had not seen fit
to take sharper steps against a
stratum of the population which is
looked upon here as necessary
evil.
The Zurich deserters, however,
many If not most Of them Of the
anarchistic types, have adopted and
sent broadcast through Switzerland
a resolution which calls the attention
of the Socialist party to denuncia-
ton of deserters. declares that the
measures taken to control deserters
here are caused by the "capitalistic
character" of the state. and are due
to fear lest the example of the
deserters in refusing military SER
vice to their respective countries
may strengthen the military
spirit among the working classes.
The deserters recommended that

the problem be solved, not by laws
against the deserters or for their
control, but by the alteration Of ex-
listing citizenship laws SO that all
foreigners here would be embraced
by them.
The resolution concludes with an
appeal to the Socialist party to take
up the matter at once and do all in
it's power to solve the foreigner
question along this last line. And
the Socialist papers, nearly IL not all
Of them of the violent. semi-anarch-
istic type, have made themselves
more unpopular than ever by espous-
ing the cause of the deserters.
Aside from the resentment which
the conservative press and citizen
ship express at the action Of UNI
desirable or at least unlimited guests
in Switzerland in attempting to
dictate the treatment which they
shall receive, the affair arouses the
gravest fears that 1t will give inn
petus to a movement to encourage
the refusal to do military duty in de-
tense of SwitzeSland's neutrality.
The deserters' conference has for
the moment obliterated party lines
in the great majority of the Swiss
press, and all but the radical So
cialistic papers join in vying with
one another in their denunciation OF
them.

With the American. Army in
France. Sunday, Dec. 16.-The orders
just issued by General Pershing
providing for a system of promotion
from the ranks, under which any
private who demontrates his ability
may win a commission, makes all
commissioned officers, even COR
porals, eligible for a school which is
being established at a large training
center for the instruction of candi-
dates for commissions. Privates who
desire to become officers must first
demonstrate their efficiency by earn
ing appointment as non-commission-
ed officers.
The non commissioned officers
will be sent to the training school
on recommendation of their SUI
periors. Before submitting such
recommendation the officers charged
with this duty are instructed by
General Pershing's orders to give the
most careful consideration to the
record OF those recommended, hav-
ing in view the case of non-commis-
stoned officers of the line, only the
lighting efficiency of his unit, and
in all other cases only the ability to
perform duties efficiently.
When candidates attending the
training school have been found to
be proficient they will be assigned
to vacancies as second lieutenants of
replacement divisions. Thence they
will go to fill vacancies occasioned by
casualty and other cause in combat
divisions. There will be no limit
to the number of second lieutenants
in the replacement divisions.
Within the combat units vacancies
to the extent of one third of the total
will be filled in this manner and two
thirds by promotion within the COM
bat unit itself.

I'VE have had two months Of

their normal supplies in each |

they will have 20 per cent in De-
eember. Owing to car shortages, the |
shortage has been most acute in the |
northwest, and about 200 cars are |
today blocked from that region.
This 20 per cent is twice the |
French ration. In the meantime we
