MEN NOT WANTED BY
ALLIES, BUT SUPPLIES
ARE PRESSING NEED

more than billion dollars is involved
in the work now under way. After this
period has passed, however, it is stat
ed the United States should be able to
produce six million tons annually.
Means of conserving shipping and
utilizing the tonnage available until this
great building program nets ships is the
vital question under international dis
eussion here today.
For every American soldier transport
ed his weight in supplies must be sent
over every thirty days. Ammunition,
food, everything needed by the Sammy
must go from this side for there is not
more than sufficient to supply the Tom
my and the Poilu now over there. Thus,
it is argued, there is strong reason for
training and equipping a great army on
this side of the Atlantic but holding
up its marching orders until vast
amounts of supplies, now vital to the
allied fighting cause are moved.

Washington, Sept. go American
troop transportation to Europe during
the next six months may be greatly cur
tailed.
AS a result of the German U-boat
menace discussed with surprising frank
ness by the British ministry Of marine,
the foremost question now before the
country and the allies is disposition of
American tonnage.
The United Press is able to state on
highest authority that the grave ques-
tion has arisen whether the United
States is perhaps crowding her side of
the struggle in forcing over thousands
Of soldiers at this time, instead of NOV
ing supplies. The argument is advanced
in favor of reducing troop movements
to the otter SIDE along these lines.
France alone has a million tons of
supplies tied up on this side of the
Atlantic while American troops are be-
ing moved.
France, Great Britain and Italy need
food, fuel and oil sorely shipment of
which is prevented through lack of
tonnage.
0bIudnS man poWci 10 waning oAN
careful compilation completed by the
allied governments indicate that the al
lied man-power, properly supplied, can
win the war more quickly than if the
present man-power is augmented by
thousands of American troops, at the
sacrifice of facing insufficient supplies
through lack of tonnage. The U-boat
menace is not underestimate by the
United States government. There is not
the slightest fear that Germany can win
through er sea seavengers, but there is
appreciated the need for very serious
consideration of a way to meet the sit
uation created.
The British shipping minister yester-
day called upon this country for six
million tons annually. This figure can
not be realized before late in 1918, or
early in 1919, it is officially admitted.
The program for the next is months
falls short Of the British demands. And

had been done, or if he did he display
cd no hint 5f his feelings.

Few members of the senate knew
what was in the resolution, as it was not
read. The agreement by which it was
presented made it appear like an or
dinary petition, many of which are pre-
sented daily, and most of the senators
were talking among themselves, clear
ly without significance of Kellogg s ac-
tion.
AS the news spread, however, senat-
ors gathered in groups in the rear of
the chamber. La Toilette and one or
two others sat alone. La Toilette, whose
seat is on the aisle in the first row,
was entirely isolated. He sat reading a
letter.
A few minutes later the senate went
into executive session.
