Tonnage TO Transport First Division.
Washington, May 3.-The United
States stands ready to send am army
to Europe whenever the allies deem ii
wise to divert the necessary shipping
from transporting food to transport

II became known definitely the gov
eminent has offered the allies troops,
but has suggested the alarming short

impractical to send them at once.
Despite objections of the general
staff to putting American forces ON
the firing line before the great war
army has been raised and trained the
administration has determined the
small contingent earnestly desired by
France for morale effect shall be sent
as soon as possible.
Whether the force shall be made up

both. has not beer decided.

ously have urged the sending of an
army. solely for its psychological ef-
feet, if not only in encouraging the
allied troops, but in discouraging the
Germans.
They have felt such a step would
censecrate the United States as a
full member of the alliance, entitled
to 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
commission here that training can be
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 500, 900.
II remains for the allies to deter
mine II they can afford to divert that
amount of shipping.
Little doubt exists the French glad.
ly will make any sacrifice necessary
to have American troops in France, as
that has been the great plea of their
mission.
The British also are known to be
anxious to have American troops In
France as a final earnest manifesto,

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 wal

marshal the common resources to the
greatest advantage.
