compel the keeping of this reservoir
at home rather than in France. Of
the other 100000 probably at least
100000 are non-fghting men, engi-
neers, mechanicians, etc.
In our forces thus far sent over the
percentage of non-fghting men runs
as high as 40. Of the remaining 3,OOO,-
600 British probably at least 100000
are in garrisons, or in Salonica or
fighting against the Turk in the Ori-
ent. So that it is doubtful if England
has 100000 in fighting units in
France, and of these a considerable
portion must be kept in reserve.
The figures illustrate how large an
army we must maintain if we are to
have 100000 fighting men in France.
Congress is now awaiting for figures
from the War Department indicating
how many it is proposed to call this
year. General Wood said we should
have 2,50O,000 men in France and an
equal number here, an army of 5,0OO,-
600 in all, and Washington is slowly
coming to that view. But even an army
of 100000 would give US less than
100000 fighting men in France, for
in an army of that size there wsuid be
more than 100000 non-fghtng men.

Wilson s Hand Burned

WASHINGTON, April 19.-~Presidcnt
Wilson participated in an impromptu
Liberty Loan demonstration to-day in
a British battle tank by riding through
the White House grounds in the great
machine He burned his hand severely
on an exhaust pipe while trying to
climb out on top in the presence Of
great throng at the front gates.

experience, beaming enthusiastically az

the tank, despite bleeding and scared

tonight, and it was said the wound was
painful but not serious.
Thousands who had followed the
slow-crecping tank up Pcnnsylvania
Avenue and had bought bonds from
solicitors mounted on its roof waited at
the White House gate while the bullet

the President inspected the tank out

Italians Show
Unity of Allies
Form Right Wing in France
and Join Reserves on
Western Front
By C. w. Gilbert

WASHINGTON, April 10. - Italian
troops are being added to the force of
reserves which General Foch is build
ing up in France, it was announced at
the Italian Embassy here to-day. The
dispatch said that the news was ac-
cepted with the greatest enthusiasm in
the Italian Parliament, even the So
clalists applauding. Premier Orlando
said that the Italians formed the right
wing of the Allied army, and that it
was fitting it should be called upon for
aid where the enemy was attacking.
This is information of the highest
Importance. 1t means apparently that
the man-power of Italy, which has not
been SO heavily drawn upon as the
man-powcr of France and England, will
be brought further into action to stem
the German tide. Italy has never been
able to use all her men of military
age upon her front or to arm ard
equip them. What will be done now
will be the sending of Italian reserves
into France and the arming by the
Allies Of Italians to take their places
in Italy.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-Presi-

The appointment of Charles M.

way to get rapid quantity production

large enterprises. Except recently
in connection with the Liberty mo-
tor, Mr.. Ford has had little expert
ence with aircraft manufacture, but
his ability to manage quantity pro-
duction is undisputed.
1t is generally admitted that the
chief difficulty to be overcome in
manufacturing the Liberty motor
and aeroplanes equipped with it is
in quantity production rather than
in engineering. Mr.. Ford is surround
ed by great staff of experts who
have had unequalled experience in
attaining quantity production by ma

Step Showing Unity
Of the Allies Aims

This step means further unity, both
military and political, among the
Allies. 1t would hardly be taken un-
less there were a promise that ade-
quate reserves would be thrown into
Italy by Foch in case of an attack by
the Central Powers upon the Italian
front.
Nor would it have been taken unless
there were virtual unity OF political
purposes among the Allies. France and
England must be supporting ltaly's war
aims. And this has become easy, be-
cause Italy has abated mucn of her
once eXtravagant claims. Her more
liberal and enlightened statesmen, now
in control, hardly seek as much terri
torial extension as is conceded to Italy
by LLOYD George and President Wilson
in their war aims speeches. Italy has
negotiated an agreement with the
southern Slavs regarding territory bor-
dering on the Northern Adriatic, which
will promote what the rest of the Allies
regard as Justice IN that quarter of the
world. -,
The policy of Foch seems to be lik
the policy of General Thomas at Nasl>
Vile in the Civil War. he is waiting
before striking back until he can build
up an army with which to strike a
winning blow. To the great reserve he
is accommodating will go the men
drawn from Italy, the men who are
being shipped from this country, about
twice as fast now as they ever were
shipped before, and the men rushed
from England from the forces in
training there, whose places will be
taken by the men whom the extension
of the draft in England, just about to
become a law, makes available.
New-York tribune., 1918-04-20
Counter Attack
May Be Delayed

The blow which Foch will strike may
hc long DELAYED. 1t will be recalled
that Petain did not strike back at
Verdun until the German offensive had
lasted months. When he did strike
back he recovered in few days all
the ground that the Germans had
taken months to capture. The pres
ent German positions in Picardy and
Flanders are of that sort. They may
be retaken quickly once Foch has his
army ready
information has just come here
which explains the situation with re-
gard to Flanders. The delay of French
reinforcements in reaching the north
crn front and some unfortunate re-
marks of General Maurice, who talks
to the press for the British army in
London, have led to doubts about the
Allied reserves.
The French were slow in coming up
because the main Allied railroad back
of the front is under fire from Ger
man shells south of Amens. The
French had to be brought up by some
other route further from the front,
and this route appears to have been
inadequate for the rapid movement of
reserves. The Germans, in effect, cut
the British off from the French by
their southern drive. Their northern
effort was probably dictated by the
knowledge that French aid would be
slow in reaching the British in Flan-
ders, and, perhaps, could not be sent
there in large numbers without laying
the southern battle area open to a
sudden attack.
On the question of man power, now
uppcrmost, military men>hcre have at
tempted to analyze recent statements
about tho armies of Great Britain.
This goes to show that the empire has
100000 men in her forces. or these
1t is estimated that 100000 would be
in England in training and acting as a
reservoir to make up for wastage at
the front. Shipping considerations

80 American Raiders
Enter German Trench
(By The Associate1l PrassA


WITH THE AMERICAN APMv 1N
FRANCE, April 19.-Thirty American
infantrymen, with the same number of
French troops, raided the German line
on the right bank of the Meuse this
morning, inflicting many casualties on
the e1(emy.
The Americans found the enemy
trenches empty. but saw the bodies of
several Germans in the American
wire, apparently members of working
party, who had been caught in the
American barrage.
The enemy laid down a counter bar

started, but all the Americans returnerl

have no other powerful blows to
deal, no observer is so optimistic as
to forecast a sudden turning of the
tide in favor Of the Allies.
The fighting season has just
opened, and Ludendorff has figured
on long campaign. Rain, sleet
and bitterly cold wind are driving
across the northern plains of
France, but when the weather
changes there is sure to be a re-
sumption Of operations on a gigan-
tic scale. In the last great enemy
attack between Robecq and Given
chy on a ten-mile stretch 10000 bay
onets were employed, but the Brit
ish bent them back, exacting heavy
toll and yielding only few outpost
positions.
KENNEL Attacks Blocked
The same story comes from the
battlefront south of Mount Kem-
mel, where the enemy came on in
waves which were broken before
reaching the British lines.
From the hills forming the Ar.
mentieres amphitheatre the British
and French guns are pouring high
explosives among the enemy forces,
feature Haig emphasized in to-
days report
When the second phase begins it
is expected Ludendorff will have
brought guns across the Ypres-
Confines Canal and will try to de-
velop an enfilading fire upon the
Mount KENNEL positions, and the
enemy will aim at outAanking the
Ypres positions.
British Bolster Line
Meanwhile the British will have
an opportunity to strengthen their
defences. The French reaction
southeast of Amiens, though of a
local character, was a useful oper-
alton. On the Somme front Arras
remains one of the chief enemy OBJ
Jectlves, and a thrust from the
southeast is expected to be one Of
the early developments.
Another probable point of activ-
lty is the Montdidier region, where
the massing of troops and guns has
been going on for several days.
Though the situation generally is
anxious, it is infinitely better than
a week ago.

sHsGEsnM' :

The great battle on the West front
paused yesterday. Rain and sleet
fell. At no point did the enemy
renew his infantry assaults.
But c.: the muddy, shen-scarred field
the Germans were observed to be
making intense preparations to
strike again.
For the second day in succession the
Berlin night official statement de.
clared there was no change in the
situation.
On the Allied side the defending
forces were strengthened by the
arrival of Italian troops, in num-
bers not stated. who have taken
up the extreme right of the line
adjoining the Swiss border.
The only Italians who have fought
in France hitherto have been the
crews Of the great Caproni bomb
ing airplanes.
Premier Orlando in Rome announced
that Italian forces would soon be
fighting under General Foch on
the battlefield Of Picardy.
The Germans are reported to be
bringing some of their heaviest
batteries west across the Ypres-
Confines Canal for a lombard
ment Of Mount KENNEL, prepara-
tory to grand assault On this
southern bulwark of Ypres. This
height was heavily shelled yester-
day, but no new infantry action
developed.
On the south side of the Lys salient
the British have taken back a
small area west Of Robecq capt
ured by the Germans in their des-
perate assaults of Thursday. The
British hold firmly the line of La
Bassee Canal and have DESTROYED
by gunfire all the bridges the en-
envy succeeded in throwing across.
Berlin yesterday claimed the capt
ure Of 1000 prisoners and "some
guns" in the action.
There has been a violent artillerv
duel on the scene of the French
success of Thursday southeast Of
Montdidier. The French Thurs.
day night cleaned up many ma.
chine gun nests there. Their pris-
oners have been increased to $50.
The enemy is massing troops near
this part of the front, apparently
for a new attempt to reach
Amiens.
In the three days since thew took
Messines Ridge the Germans have
failed to gain any ground, and
their losses in fruitless assaults.
according to both official and un-
official accounts, have been ex.
tremely heavy.

Haig, on Dominating Hills,
Blocks Advance to Coast
Ludendorff Pauses to Take Account of Losses
Public in Britain Is Confident, Realizing That
Kaiser's Army Is Now Battling Against Time
By Arthur S. Draper
(Tribunc Cable Scryicel

(Trbunc Cable Scrvice)
LONDON, April 19.-The news
from the battlefront is the best for
a month. Since Tuesday the situa-
tion has been steadily improving,
and to-day Haig is able to report
his lines are intact, that the Ger
mans have stopped their hammer
ing tactics, and that the British hold
the hills covering the northward ad-
vance to the coast.
1t is safe to say that the first
phase of the Battle of Armentieres
is ended. Ludendorff is taking stock
of the situation, and he is finding
that the great thrust for the coast
has losses as we'll as gains.
Britain s'Bucking Up"
Great Britain has bucked up. Sne
views the future confidently, she
believes her gallant forces have
weathered the worst of the hurri-
cane, and that death and destruc-
tion are what Ludendorff has gained
for his investment Of 10000 casu-
alties and gigantic supplies of NUM-
tions.
He has driven the British off the
hard-earned Passchendaele Ridge;
he has made a deep indentation to
the west of Armentieres; he has
captured, perhaps, many prisoners
and hundred or so guns and forced
the destruction of large quantity
of stores, but his effort for a break
through has succeeded no better
than Haig's long campaign for
Passchendaele Ridge. Both fell
short of their real objective. Both
are so-called "near victories"
Ludendorff's troops are further
from their bases and are forced to
run their communications through
the barren, shell-torn areas east of
Ypres and west of Armentieres.
If Haig Holds He Wins
Time is Haig's ally and Luden-
dorf's great enemy. The French
reserves are now where they are
most needed, and Ludendorff has
lost some of the initiative. The Ger
mans are little nearer the coast,
but nothing matters if they are held
where they now stand.
Ludendorff is beaten unless he ad-
vances; Haig wins if he holds. No
sane person believes the Germans
