Balfour of British Together With Army and Navy Chiefs and French Leaders Already On Way Here.
EXPECTED
 WITHIN 10 DAYS
America Reafirms Against Entangling Alliances, But Will Deal Intimately With Allied Powers.
lBy Review Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, April 11.-As- sembIy in Washington within a few weeks of a great information al war council was foreshadowed by an announcement from the stale department today that a British commission, headed by Arthur ]. Balfour, minister of for eign affairs, is expected to arrive within ten days to discuss with the government here questions connected with the conduct of the war. In addition to the foreign minister, the commission will in- clude Admiral De Chair of the British navy, General Bridges of the army and the governor of the Bank of England, attended by a numerous staff.
 Viviani Also Coming
 This was as far as the an- nouncement made by the state department goes but it was learn ed authoritatiVeIy that a French commission also will be in Wash ington about the same time. This Commission will be headed by M. Viviani at present minister of justice in the French cabinet and formerly premier.
 It is assumed that owing to the in passage and the proba ble delays the interests of other al lied governments will be confided to their resident ambassadors.
 No Political Pact
 It was made clear that in no way will the United States government depart from the traditional policy of avoiding anything Tn the nature Of political alliances. though of course that does not exclude full and inti mate military and naval cooperation in the prosecution of the war
 While it is by no means certain that there will be q joint meeting of the visiting commissions, if the state department should desire to avoid the appearance of an lliance. there is cer tain to be concert of action in some way.

Costa Rica Would Fight

Little Costa Rica, just emerging from the throws of a revolution sent word to her diplomatic representative today that she endorsed the course of President Wilson and was ready to prove it if necessary"
 Argentina's position was defined in a note reaching the state department today in answer to the note of this government in regard to a state of war. The communication defining a status is short of an open break.
 Argentina's note follows:
 "The Argentine republic in view of the causes that have prompted the United States of America to declare war against the German government recognizes the justice Of that decision founded as it is upon the violation of the principle of neutrality established by the rules of international warfare which have considered definite con quests of civilization"
 Costa Rica's announcement was un- expected, for the new government set up there by Federico Tinoco and per fected today by an executive declara- ton of his election as president. has not been recognized by the United States.

If Congress Is Willing He'll Change Army Bill So 500,- 900 Can Be Absorbed In Militia and U. s. Army.
WOULD SERVE FOR
 DURATION OF WAR
That Would Give 750,000 Men. President Holds To Staff Army Plan In The Main However As Most Desirable.
(By Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, April II. - Presi- dent Wilson, in a conference with Speaker Champ Clark and Minority Leader Kitchin at the Capitol today, insisted on the terms of the adminis- tration plan for raising a large army in the principle of selective draft. At the same time. however. it was learn ed that the war department virtually had decided on plans under which op- portunity will be given for approXi- mately 500,000 men to volunteer for service for the term of the war.
 The net result of the new plans would be to make the total national guard and regular force to be organ ized first independently of the selec- tive draft plan approximately 75O,OO0 men, making room for the. absorption of half a million volunteers.
Bisbee daily review., 1917-04-12
Congress to Act First

No attempt to enlist men to accom- plish this will be made, however, un- til congress has acted and authority is granted to enlist such volunteers for the duration of the war only.
 The President made it clear that the army plan had been formulated only after it had been decided it was the only way to meet the demand for a great and efficient fighting force.
 Volunteer Plan Popular
 Both Speaker Clark and MT. Kitch- in told the President that much op- position existed in congress against the plan. principally on the ground that draft should not be resorted to until an effort had been made to raise an army through volunteers.
 Careful reconsideration of the terms of the existing national defense act is responsible for the contemplated change of the administrations policy in regard to the mobilization of the national guard for war. Ogicials now think the law grants the states the right to organize additional guard units up to the full limit of 500 men to a congressional district If that view is sustained by army legal au-

WASHINGTON, April 11.-Without formally announcing abandonment of their neutrality, two more Latin-Am- erican republics, Argentina and Costa Rica, have given assurances of their moral support of the United States against Germany.
 Argentina, choosing middle course between those of Brazil and Chile. has notified the state department that she recognizes the ustjice" of this coun- try's stand against German aggres- sion. The communication contains no intimation, however. that the Argen- tine authorities contemplate an actu- al break with Berlin.
