Soldiers Are Ready
For Fri1gLines, But
Transports Lacking

War Department officials threw a
damper on the prospects Of having a
million American soldiers in the
trenches by spring when they said
aatly today that 600 900 men is the
maximum number the United States
can hope to send to Europe within 9
year.
It will be physically impossible to
send more than 100000 troops to
France by January 1.

DULL DAY EXPERIENCED
AT RECRUITING STATIONS

The bottom dropped out of recruit
ing in Washington today. There
were two reasons for IL.
One was the suspension OF the re-
cruitinR Offices OF the District Ma
tIonaI Guard when the remaining ten
units were mustered into Federal
service this morning. The other was
the heavy downpour OF rain, which
almost forced the regular army re-
cruitinR tent at Seventh street and
Pennsylvania avenue to close. When
the rain temporarily subsidized at IL
o'clock only one man had been aC-
cepted in the regulars.
The naval recruiting station at
Ninth street and Pennsylvania avenue
was busy until the showers came up.

us. War Observers
Say America Mast
Send Million Men

The European war can easily last
until 1919.
The United States will have to
throw a million, perhaps two million,
men into the balance. to turn the tide
OF victory to the allies.
The failure OF the British and
French armies to break the linden
berg line makes this line appear i'm
pregnable and only the added millions
that the United States can furnish
will add the weight to the successful
push.
This country's maximum strength
must be exerted on the side of the
entente to drive the Germans back
across the Rhine.
These are the main conclusions OF
nine military observers VINO have re-
turned to their posts at the War De-
pArtment after two months at the
British and French fronts.
Make Verbal Reports.
The military observers. headed by
Colonels Graves and Baker, and Sum-
neral OF the general stan. have made
verbal reports to the Army War Col
lege and are preparing written re-
ports to be submitted later.
Details of the reports brought back
by the observers are withheld by
Secretary Baker.

and will not speculate on them" Sec
rotary Baker said today.
While no official comment is made
on the returning officers observa-
tions the general trend OF their i'm
pressions has become known to mem
bers OF the stan.
The important things which the
United States must do to aid Its allies,
the observers will report to the War
College, are:
Need Million Men,
Dispatch q million men to the night
ing front at the very earliest moment
that transportation can be provided.
Mobilize the army OF 100000 avi-
ators provided for in the $64o, 0O0, 900

can be provided with equipment.

The District guard will make their
home on Patterson field until they
leave for their training camp at An
niston, Ala when they reached the
field this morning kitchens and
latrines had been built and water
pipes had been laid. The boys spent
the forenoon laying out company
streets, digging trenches around their
tents and putting the camp in com
plete order. At the same time guards
were thrown out all about the field
and regular camp discipline was
established.
The tract OF land the guardsmen
are occupying lies to the north of
Florida avenue, between Gallaudet
College and the Baltimore and Ohio
tracks out OF the Union Station.
The march OF the soldiers of the ten
additional units to Patterson field
was uneventful and without Interrupt

followed by Troops A, B, and C OF
