! SEND TROOPS
TO THE FRONT
Cabinet in Favor of Move, But
Staff Objects.
ALLIES HAVE 100000 MEN
Military Men Declare Britain and
Japan Have Huge Number of
Trained Men That Have Never
Been Used-Wilson With.
holds Decision.

'"'iiiiiSl loIl, May ne movement
TO have an American army sent TO
hight in France at the earliest possible
moment took one more step toward ac-
compIShment. 1t also developed that
the civilian officials of the government
are almost in a body in favor of the
plan, while military advisors of the
war department stand solidly against
sending any soldiers to France until
they have been thoroughly trained
here.
Cabinet Favors Plan.
Following the regular cabinet meet
ing 1t was learned the entire cabinet
was in favor Of sending men to France
at once. The request of the French
commissioners here that increments of
American troops be sent to the west
front quickly was discussed in a gen
eral way at the cabinet meeting and
later was gone thoroughly into by
President Wilson and Secretary of
War Baker.
Staff Opposed to Move.
Following the cabinet meeting. which
lasted 20 minutes, Secretary Baker re-
manned clOseted alone with the presi-
dent in the cabinet room for two hours.
Later he denied the army general staff
had been ordered to arrange to move
troops TO France at an early date.
The first serious opposition to the
plan developed among members of the
army general staff 1t was learned that
practically the entire staff are opposed
to sending raw" troops to foreign bat
tlefields. Staff officers declined to say
whether they would make adverse re-
port upon the suggestion to Secretary
Baker
Allies Have 5000, 600 Men.
The objections of the general staff,
it was stated, are based principally
upon the fact that the entire allies
have at present more than 5,000,000
thoroughly trained soldiers who have
been called to the front. 1t is est
mated that there are 100000 expertly
trained men in England and 2250.00O
in Japan, who could be transported to
the fighting front in France
There would be no military advan-
tage i'll sending imperfectly trained
American soldiers to the fighting
front" one staff officer said.
Would Be Military Mistake.
''Indeed, it would be a military mis-
take for this to be done. Such men
would necessarily have to be Differed, |
and this would mean that many Off |
GERS would have to leave the country. |
thus being Of no assistance in training
the vast army we are going TO raise
on such short notice"
That the sentimental and moral eff |
feet of sending Americans to fight at |
once would greatly Overbalance any
disadvantages was contended |
by civilian officials.
That a decision by President Wilson |
would be reached before Thursday |
when the French commissioners leave |
Washington for a short tour of part |
Of the United States was believed here |

Washington, May 2.-Keeping up
with the submarine is the paramount
problem facing the war conference
now in progress here between Ameri-
can, French and British experts. 1t
is considered even more important
than the food eXigency, for without
the ships to transport to Europe, Amer
lean food will be of little value.
Lord Eustace Percy of the British
foreign trade department emphasized
this when he received Washington cor
respondents for this first interview.
He made no attempt TO conceal the
fact that the tonnage situation is d
very serious one. He reiterated
Lloyd Georges warning of several
weeks ago that if the war is to be
won. If Prussianisn is to be crushed,
there must be "ships!'' Ships! And
more shipsI' y
Allies Get Ships.
Lord Percy has been in constant
communication with the governments
shipping experts, notably the federal
SuIppII1S SIuCe HIS dIIlFdl mere.
and he was warm in his praise of the
aid and cooperation he has received.
Questioned as to whether this coop
Grafton had taken on a material form,
he replied:
you may say that some ships al
ready have been placed at the disposal
Of the allied governments by the Unit
ed States. l can say no more Any
thing else on it must come from your
government
Lord Percy frankly admitted that
German submarines are sinking Brit
ish tonnage much faster than it can
be turned out by British yards.
"And it is question" he said,
whether the combined production of
both British and American yards can
keep up with. it. They viii have to
speed up considerably if they do.
