And today, April TO- Washington dis


patches announce:
No units of the American army, ma
tional guard or other military forces
will be sent to the battle front in
Europe for use in the war against the
German government, according to
present plans of the administration,
until total of approximately 100000
men have been placed In training. The
war plan, as it now stands, follows:
First-to utilize the navy in every pos
sible way, in joint operation with the
British and French navies. against the
German sea forces and their submarine
operations.
Second-To munition the entente allies
to the fullest possible extent without in
reference with the manufacture of Amer
fcan munitions.
Third-To make an immediate loan of
So, 000, 0C0, 600 to the allies.
Fourth--To do everything possible to-
ward providing England with foodstuffs
to offset the operations Of the German u
boat campaign.
Fifth-To train 100000 men the first
year. another 1000 600 men next year. none
of which are to be sent to the battle front
in Europe, until the first 100000 is ready
and plans are completed for keeping this
force supplied in the field.
Sixth-To utilize this force of 100000
men, If necessary, to turn the tide against
the Germans IN tHe great WdI
High officials of the department and
members of the general staff of the
army are strongly opposed to the dis
patch of any American land forces to
Europe at this time, either under COM
mand of Col. Roosevelt, formed in
separate division of volunteers or as
unit from the national guard or regu-
lar army. Much has been said in some
quarters in favor of sending force of
10, 600 or %, 900 to Europe as rapidly as
possible for the psychological effect
that this display of the American flag
would have at the front. High army
officials insisted today that nothing
would be gained and everything lost
by such action.
A force of 10000 men, it is argued,
would prove to be only drop in the
bucket in this situation along the bat
tie front. Half that number of men
in German prisoners We're taken in the
British Arras drive yesterday. But
aside from the fact that 10000 men
would hardly be a factor in altering
the battle front, it was pointed out to-
day by high officer of the army that
for every man now sent from the
regular army to the fighting front in
Europe the United States would lose
100 soldiers within two years.
The plans Of the army now contem-
plato the use of virtually all the real
fighting men II now has in service In
training the new force of 100000 men
to be raised and put into condition
within a year. It is considered more
important at this stage of the war to
keep American officers, sergeants,
drill masters and privates home for
use in training the new armies to be
raised than to be sent off in expedi-
tons Of 10000 men to be frittered
away without effective results along
the battle front.

A Sensible Decision.

On March % the Kennebeo Journal
editorially said:
eve believe we are voicing level
headed, patriotic citizenship of Maine
when we say that we are opposed to
sending troops across the water at this
time. First, because we are unpre-
pared to make a showing that would
be a credit to the American people.
Second, because the only returns for
such course would be the shouts of
approval from England and France
and the knowledge of the heartening
influence such an expedition would
have upon the forces of the entente
allies. Third. because we are con-
WINGED that every trained military man
of the precious few we have is needed
in the training and development of
sane American DEFENSE.
The American people are becoming
aroused to the need of DEFENSIVE
measures against the war party of
another nation"
would any force that we could send
to France or Belgium at this time,
providing our troop ships were not
torpedoed en- route, be more than
drop in the bucket of the titanic strug-
gle now waging there? We are con-
WINGED that it would not be; that such
a force would cause the war lords not
a single moments uneasiness; that the
keeping Of our trained men here to as
sist in the perfection of worthy army
in this country would trouble them far
more; that the Prussian war lords
know our military weakness far better
do nnnn1o
"And last, but not least, the senti-
ment of Americans is not for max
ing war upon the people of Germany,
but for defending ourselves from the
acts of the war machine that Prussian-
ism has constructed with the purpose
of dominating the world"

EAT WAR FISH

Because of fish-ignorance. the Ameri-
can people are overlooking vast and al
most inexhaustible wartime reservoir of
food, says Secretary Redfield.
The average American eats one pound
of fish where the Britisher eats five, the
German six, the Hollander seven. the Scan
dinavian eight. the Chinese ten and the Jap
aneSe twenty-five.
Americas fish industry yields SSOOOO,OOO
annually and supports $4,000 people, but
this very small fraction of the business
that should result from our great sea-food
resources.
The people of the United States eat little
because they are not acquainted with it's
food value and have not been educated in
its use. In many sections there is strong
predjudice against any but the most expen-
sive kinds
The food administration is cooperating
with the federal bureau of fisheries in its
endeavors to correct this condition The
general substitution of fish for meat would
relieve the beef and pork shortage.
Many species of palatable fish are not
eaten in this country and an educational
campaign has been undertaken by the gov
eminent to promote it's use.
The American public is beginning to ac-
quire liking for whale, which tastes like
beef and is very plentiful. One whale yields
as much food as twenty cattle and it is esti-
mated the equivalent of 10000 head of
cattle is permitted to go to waste on the
Atlanic coast each year.
Fish is natures one food crop that has
only to be gathered and marketed. With
reasonable restrictions as to closed seasons,
the supply of fish will inexhaustible for all
time when fish attains the important posi-
ton which it should occupy on our list Of
food products it will not only solve one Of
the most perplexing conservation problems,
but it will further develop an industry
which will add greatly to our national
wealth.

their development-some secretly, others

their development-some secretly, others
openly.
Germany had determined upon its pro-
gram of world conquest 1t had decided
upon its goal, and it never thought to reach
it by any means but warfare. It was Ger
many's intent to become the fountain
spring of all knowledge, progress and
power and to dominate the world abso-
lutely It realized that the world could
only be mastered through conquest and it
was preparation for conquest which en-
ergized all Germany to it's unprecedented
scientific and industrial understandable
in itself, but founded. on vicious thought.
Other countric3 were quite content to
let Germany do the tedious experimenting
and research work and to depend upon
Germany for many things in which that
country specialized. When the war cut off
the source Of supply the other countries
undertook the task of supplying their own
needs and they have succeeded so we'll that
there is no possibility of Germany ever re-
gaining their markets.
England is already producing so per cent
more than before the war and America is
entirely independent of Germany for many
commodities.
Had Germany not forced war upon the
world, we probably would never have de-
ve1oped many of our most valuable re-
sources arV one of the recompenses of the
terrible conflict will be our industrial
awakening.

asking you to publish this in order
that she may know that the package
was received and the notes distrib-

Such little tokens of remembrance

doubly appreciated.

ANNOUNCEMENT

1t is with sincere pleasure that The
Journal publishes this morning the initial
issue of Trench and Camp, a department
of the Sunday Edition devoted to the army
and navy Similar publications are being
issued at nearly every army and navy
training station in the country, and it is
hoped that it will be welcomed here.
In conducting a section for the men of
the service, and publishing information OF
peculiar interest to them, The Journal
must rely to great extent on the co-opera-
ton Of the men themselves. Arrange
ments have been made with men at each
station to send in accounts Of the various
activities each week, but their task will be
difficult without the assistance of the men
stationed there.
Men Of the army and navy, this depart
rnent is yours. I'VE hope that you will
make rsc it, and cooperate with the
editors \ ing it interesting. News
