Allies viii Seek Means Of Providing
Tonnage to Transport First Division.
Washington, May 3.-The United

to Europe whenever the allies deem 1t
wise to divert the necessary shipping
from transporting food to transport

It became known definitely the gOv.
eminent has offered the allies troops,
but has suggested the alarming short
age of world shipping may make 1t
impractical to send them at once.
Despite objections of the general
staff to putting American forces on
the firing line before the great wal
army has been raised and trained the
administration has determined the
small contingent earnestly desired by
as soon as possible.
Whether the force shall be made up
of regulars or national ~guardsmen, or
both. has not been decided.
State department officials continu-
ously have urged the sending of an
army. solely for its psychological ef-
feet. If not only in encouraging the
allied troops, but in d~iscourag ing the
Germans.
They have felt such a step would
ccnsecrate the United States as a
fun member of the alliance, entitled
10 a most honorable seat at the peace
conference.

General staff Opposes Plan.


Some who have opposed vigorously
an early eXpeditionary force as inter
fering with the training OF a larger
army have modified their views as a
result of the arguments advanced by
the military experts with the French
much better carried out in France
within sound OF the guns. Neverthe-
less the opposition of the staff has
not Wavered.
The tonnage required for transport
ing the regular American unit OF "a
600 men would be nearly 100000.
II remains for the allies to deter
mine if they can afford to divert that
moun of shipping.
Little doubt exists the French glad
~ will make any sacrifice necessary
10 have American troops in France, as
that has been the great plea Of their
mission.
The British also are known to be
anxious 10 have American troops in
France as a nnal earnest manifesto
ticn of American participation. but
there is reason to believe they have
taken a somewhat more detached
view than the French.
Overcome by the wholeheartedness
OF American cooperation in the war
they believe the one essential is TO
marshal the common resources to the
greatest advantage.
