TROOPS TO co T0 FRANCE.
AMERICA OFFERS FORCES ron
SERVICE IN NEAR FUTURE.
Difficulty Expected in Sending Even
Such Small Force Across Allan
tic-Would Have Strcng Moral Eff
feet ON French and English
Forces.


Washington, May 1.-The United
States stands ready to send an army
to Europe whenever the allies deem
1t wise to- divert the necessary ship
ping from transporting food to trans
porting men.
1t became known definitely today
that the government has offered the
allies troops, but has suggested that
the alarming shortage of world ship
ping may make it implacticable to
send them at once. In spite of OBJ
jections Of the general staff to putting
any American force on the firing line
before the great war army has been
raised and trained, the administered
tion has determined that the small
contingent earnestly desired by France
for the moral effect shall be sent as
soon as possible. The general belief
here is that the way soon will be
found.
Whether the force first to carry the
Stars and Stripes into battle in france
shall be made up Of regulars or Ma,
tional Guardsmen or both has not
been worked out. The subject was
not discussed at today's cabinet meet
ing but Secretary Baker remained af-,
terwards for a conference with Pres
ident Wilson. W.
Little doubt exists that the French
will gladly put up with any sacrifice
necessary to have American troops I'm
France. as the great plea of their
mission has been for troops with the
American flag. They have pointed out
that this is needed to convince the
Germans beyond doubt that all Amer
ica's resources have been thrown into
the battle. ~.
The British also are known to be
anxious to have Americans in Trance
as a, final earnest Of American paIti-
cipation, but there is reason to believe.
that they have somewhat more de-
tached view than the French. Over
come by the woleheartedness of
American cooperation in the war, they
believe that the one essential Is to
marshal the common resources to the
greatest advantage. With their re-
sponsibility for tonnage their decision
about the advisability Of sending an
expeditiOnary force is uncertain.
