Brazil WILL ADHERE
To ATTITUDE OF u. S.
Congressional Committee Agrees on
Alignment with Northern Republic.
CBy the international News Ser


Rio de Janerio. May 24.-Brazil is rapid
ly approaching adhesion to the attitude
Of the United States in the war. Only a
few remaining steps need be taken for
completion.
Following the stand taken by President
Braz and Foreign Minister Pecanha, the
COMPRESSION committee today agreed that
Brazil should align herself with the great
northern republic. This adhesion, it was
specifically pointed out, applies to the
United States only and must not be
considered as approval of the program OF
the European allies.
The assumption of such a stand has
been forecasted for the past two or three
days, not only in the utterances of gov
ernment officials, but also in articles ap-
pearing in the most representative news
papers Of the country, Brazil's attitude
is to be pitched upon the same lofty
plane as outlined by President Wilson
for the United States.
The foreign office today, following the
action of the congressional committee,
sent kilograms to the chancellories of the
other South American republics explain
ing TO them just what this stand with
the United States means.

Supporters of the Wilson adminis-

opponents OF censorship declared last

twice against censorship. except Sem

1t was explained, however, that the
Senators had arranged pairs, and that
therefore their votes would be un-
affected in the result. This was pleas

Some May Not Stick.
The forces arrayed against inserting
the censorship are not sure that all the
nineteen Democratic Senators who voted
with the insurgents will stick But tho
fighters for free speech say they will gain

PERSHING Hears
WILSON'S Orders
Conference Held at the White
House-Expedition S Leader
to Be Given Higher Rank.

FINAL plans for the participation oil
American troops on the French front were
laid late yesterday afternoon at an ex-
tended conference between President Will
son and Mai. Gen. John J. Pershing. who
viii lead the FIRST American division over
seas.
Gen. Pershing called at the White
House at o'clock. Previously he had
been busy throughout the day with War
Department ofIcials. working out details
In connection with the expedition.
II was the first time the general had
met President Wilson, and after the con-
ference II was said 1t probably would be
the last before Pershing departs for
France The world aspect Of the expedi-
tion was discussed. and President Wilson
set forth very plainly his views concern
ing the part the United States and the
Pershing expedition which represents ii
must play.
Gen. Pershing knows in advance just
what will be expected OF him in France.
The uses to which the first American
force will be put were worked out at the
recent tri-partite conferences between ad-
ministration officials and the French and
British missions. Other conversations
between the President and Marshal Joffre
brought out broader details of these
plans.
To Receive High Rank
The President. it is said has a very
definite opinion of what the first division
must expect to do, and he outlined these
plainly TO the man who will represent
him in the field.
II was dark when the conference ended
and Gen. Pershing left the White House.
Before he did so. il was reported on high
authority that before Pershing laeyes for
France, or very soon after he arrives
there, he will be given the rank OF lieu
tenant general This will require the ap-
proyal Of Congress, and 1t Is expected
President Wilson will send his name to
the Senate within a few days.
With his present rank Gen. Pershing
would be junior to all the generals now
in command OF forces at or near the
front including even the Portuguese.
The policy of the administration is to
confer senior ranks on all American off,
GERS in Europe or likely to go there, so
that they may be on equal terms with
other army commanders.
With his new title Gen Pershing will
be ranking officer OF the United States
army. There are only two American off,
GERS now holding the rank Of lieutenant
general. both retired. They are Gen
Nelson 4. Miles and Gen. S. NJ. B. Young
Gen. Pershing was accompanied to the
White House by Secretary OF War
Baker. He gave as the reason for his
visit that he had come to pay his re-
spectS to the President"
Neither Gen. Pershing or Secretary
FBaSer would discuss the subjects taken
lp at the conference.
