(FrOm staff correspondent OF the

Armies in France, April 6, via Lon
don, April ~
The news of the action of the
United States senate in voting for
war with Germany reached the far
line of the western battle line today
and was hailed with cheers. Nowhere
was the qualification greater than
along the section Of the front held
by the Canadians with whom many
thousand of Americans are serving.
Many Canadian and British compan-
les were busy today preparing signs
to hold up over the trenches telling
the Germans the tidings from Wash
ington. This is the favorite plan of
the Tommies to convey all sorts of
bad news to their enemies across
No Mans Land. .,n lrv
q, A'"r Prisoners Informed.
German prisoners taken today had
not heard of President Wilson'S ad-
dress, and knew only in a vague way
of the breaking of diplomatic rela-
tions in February. Some Of the
trench signs were prepared includ.
ed a brief translation into German
of the presidents statement that the
Americans were entering the lists
against the German government and
not against the German people.
Others include the latest slogan:
mo peace with the Hozenhollerns,"
while still others read: Get rid OF
your kaiser ,tn O..
Buy Newspapers.
On their way back from the front
trenches today the troops who had
been relieved eagerly bought two
days old daily newspapers from the
newsboys in order to read the news
and the text Of the presidents
speech. In the little French "estam-
inets cafes" and villages along the
line there was great excitement
among the old civilians and the poi
lus on leave. One old gray-hair-
ed Frenchman. waving bit Of writ
ing paper, said he was sending the
good news to his son in the trench
es so as to be sure that he would not
miss it.
The weight of America thrown in
to the scales just at this juncture IN
what is regarded as the critical
year of the struggle, has sent re-
newed thrill of confidence all along
the front. ..",

 After a call on Secretary Baker the railroad men heard 'army officers on transportation problems and then ols- cussed the situation among themselVes' Next to the number and size or guns Secretary Baker told them the transpor- tation problem in war is the most lm- portant the military will face. ot the country's state of defense he said.
 We have gone on in this country TOT a long time in the somewhat complacenl assurance that the Atlantic ocean IS 5000 miles wide, the Pacific lo,VVo' or something like that, and that we are separated by nature as well as oy tra- ditions and our own desires from any sort of difficulty. But we have grown a lot wiser in the last few years on that general subject; and while am quite sure that you regard the state of peace as most desirable we are nevertheless concerned as to the means or accoin- rlishing it's continuance.
 "Congress and the President have en- acted legislation that creates the coun- Gil of national defense, and its purpose is to survey and coordinate all Of the material and personnel resources of the country so that we will not be a disor- ganized democracy, but an organized and effective and efficient democracy, ready to turn its strength and it's forces to anything that may be needed for national defense.''
 Moving of guardsmen to the Mexican border, the Secretary pointed out, was a small problem compared to what the country would have to face if called on to move force of half a million men.
 Our problem there was to get 15o,00c across this country from various parts of the country and to bring them to- gether on front 1So0 miles long, he problem of moving an army of 100000 from one coast to another, or to assemble so large a body of men as that in any relatively small place, the question of capacity of the tracks, the capacity of side tracks and terminals, and the ca pacity of cars and the amount of power necessary, the way in which everything would be assembled and the effect on the country of the sudden mobilization of so large part of the rolling stock fa- cilities of the railroads in this unaccus- toned use-the tanning that would come are all problems of high strategy in an art of which you gentlemen are masters and of which we know only as observers or users of these facilities.

 Henry P. Fletcher, the American am- bassador, left hurriedly today with For egn Secretary Aguilar for Guadalajara, where General Carranza is now.
 It is said there seems to be general opinion among well informed public men here that the proposal outlined in the Zimmerman note probably has not been definitely presented to General Carranza by Minister Won Eckhardt, although this is only surmise on their part.
