Suggested That the Alarming Short
age. of World Shipping May Make
it Impractical to Send Troops
at Least for Some Weeks

Washington, May 2.-The United
States stands ready to send an army
to Europe whenever the allies deem
it wise to divert the necessary ship
ping from transporting food to trans
porting men.
1t became known definitely today
!. that the government has offered the
allies troops, but has suggested that
the alarming shortage of world ship
ping may make it impractical to send
them at once.
In spite of objections of the general
staff to putting any American force
on the firing line before the great war
army has been raised and trained, the
administration has determined that
the small contingent earnestly desir
ed by France for moral effect shall
be sent as soon as possible. The gen.
eral belief here is that the way will
soon be found.
Whether the force first to carry the
stars anu OITlpeS INTO DdltIe III FIdHCe
shall be made up of regulars or ma.
tiOnal guardsmen, or both, has not
been worked out.
Little doubt exists that the French
will gladly put up with any sacrifices
to have American troops in France, as
the great plea of their mission has
been for troops with the American
flag The British also are known to
be anxious to have American troops
in France as final earnest of Amer
ican participation.

ALL STATES ARE REPRE-
SENTED At THE WAR
CONFERENCE

Washington, May 2-Representa-
tives from practically every state in
the Union, appointed by the various
governors, met here today in a con-
ference on measures of state co-opera-
tiOn in the conduct of the war Mill
tary affairs and the food situation are
the most important questions put
down for consideration. Governors
have also sent as delegates the
heads of the state defense councils
where they have been created. The
national council hopes to accomplish
a great deal of good for the govern
ment as a result of the conference
Secretary of War Baker opened the
council and presented definite recon-
mendatiOns concerning coordination
of defense work. The states will be
asked to aid in taking census of
men of military age, to assist in 9th
er military plans and to help carry
out a national food conservation pro

GERMAN IMPERIAL CHANCELLOR
TO OFFER NEW PEACE TERMS

The Hague (Via LondOn), May .
DR.. Won Bethmann-Hollweg the Ger
man imperial chancellor, will make
another peace offer in the Reichstag
on Thursday of this week, according
to a announcement made by the Ber-
liner Tageblatt
The world will be astonished by
the mOdera ion of the German peace
terms said the General Anzeiger of
Dusseldorf. Germany quoting in a re-
cent dispatch from Berlin a statement
given out to foreign correspondents
in Berlin.
For several weeks it has been init
mated that Germany might soon make
another peace offer, and recent infor-
nation from Berlin showed that Chan
cellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg was ex-
pected soon to make an announcement
in regard to international questions,
although heretofore no statement has
come from a responsible quarter that
a peace offer would actually be made.
The announcement of the chancel-
lors plan to make a peace offer on
Thursday is given added weight by
the fact that it appears in the Tage-
blatt, one of the most widely circulat-
ed German newspapers.

UNITED STATES FACES
SHORTAGE Of HORSES
AND MULES

Washington, May 2.-HOwever much
the United States may be able to help
the allies in the matter of money and
food, representatives of the entente
nations now visiting this country will
be given to understand that having
sent its best horses and mules to Eu-
r0pean battlefields for the last three
years for service with the allies, the
United States today finds itself in
times of its own necessity amid a
scarcity of available animals for war
service. Government agents who
have been securing the west for sew
eral weeks have been unable to secure
any number of horses and mules
which come up to the army standards.
Where formerly market places were
oyercrowded with spirited, dashing
horses and big, strong mules. only
oyer-heavy draft horses and others
of practically no use for cavalry SER
vice can be purchased, and these are
being held at wartime figures. In
many marketing centers no animals
are to be had at all.
