I " 10 American officers during the

Big Events Near at Hand.
| These talks have been confidential,
/ but from the general trend of the
more public utterances Of all mem
bers OF the mission, il is gathered
that an undercurrent of feeling is
thrilling France with the belief that
I May, June and July VIII see great
events on the battlefield and that this
feeling prompts much of the French
desire that American troops by their
/ presence swell the wave Of French
enthusiasm during those critical
months.
National Guard Would Do.
Since It is the psychological effect
that is sought troops with no more
training than the border hardened
national guard units would serve the
purpose in the French view French
officers believe that with brief addi-
tional training within sound Of the
guns at the front-pOSsibly five

In reaching deciss on, president
Wilson probably would turn first to
his own military advisors. the general

Tonnage Must He Wen Used.
The shipping problem is not only
a matter Of tonnage, but equally
matter Of how that tonnage is used.
Every method possible is being used
to save shipping for the vital pur-
poses and keep it away from non
essentials. Each of the allied na-
tons has instituted a national ship
ping board, while over them all is
the general shipping board, sitting

years of experience in flying. All the

Many American machines ara IA
